Toyboys keep me on my toes flexing my fingers on the keyboard. Jefferson Davis is no exception even though he lives in South Carolina. He is only playing forward the tag from K8 the Gr8 for a meme last week

Two things that irritate the living hell out of me for a good reason:
1) Wimps – People who whinge to anyone and everyone about how hard their life is, yet do nothing to improve it.
Let me tell them NOWHERE are we promised an easy life. We all have knocks and put downs in some shape or form. For some it is money problems, not having enough to put food on their table and heat in their bones. Others it is being in a job they hate or worse still having no job to go to day after day. Yet more suffer pain at the hand of abusers, or discomfort day and daily that prevents them sitting in a chair or walking across a room without wincing due to ill-health. Watching once again ‘The last Lecture’ by Randy Pausch, who died on 25th July this year, I come away with two sentences etched on my brain.
“We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand!”
And
“The brick walls are there to show us how badly we want something!”
2) Waste – People buying things that they think they need because it is fashionable and the latest ‘must have’ or due to peer pressure.
We all do it in some shape or form. Falling for the ‘buy one get one free’ offers in the supermarket even when there is no way we will ever use two within the sell by date. Buying shoes, when we know full well that they are pinching your little toes and you already have a pair the same colour at home. Ordering food in a restaurant and leaving half of it on the plate untouched. Drinking until you throw up – where is the fun in walking around with a head pounding like a Lambeg drum. Some of the best fun in life is to be had without ever touching a drop of drink.
Two things that bug me for no apparent reason
1) Bread & jam that falls jam side down on the carpet
2) Food wrap that gets in a tangle.
This time I leave it open to tag yourself if you wish to.
