Tired, Tired, Tired...

I'm so tired, tired, tired...

I'm tired of so many things. Up on my soapbox I go.

I'm tired of sports shows on television full of hosts who argue and yell at each other. Every angle, every tidbit, is raked over the coals.  That is par for the course and of course you're wrong if you don't agree with someone else's point of view.

Which leads me to...

I'm tired of the panels on news shows that rehash the same things over and over and over, again. Do you see a pattern here? It's all very sophoric. And don't get me started on fake news and socialmedia.

Movies on TV are repetitive as well , after all hollywood only produces 250 films, a year but we have 365, days.

Since we're in the age of 24/ 7 cable you have to fill that hole every day, some how and, just so you know, stuff doesn't happen every day, neither are films made every day.

But, as they say, the show must go on. It's just going there with one less passenger. Me.

Let's change the subject, a bit here...

I'm tired of driving and the person in front of me is going real slow usually at least 2 miles slower than the posted speed limit, because they are on their cell phone, ATV or their golf cart. The ones in a golf cart look like q-tips. Same thing when I'm stopped at a red light and it turns green and the car in front of me goes nowhere because the driver is on that darn cell phone again. Or it's yellow and they gun it, when you should wait, end up going thru a red light. And sometimes they freez just in front of you to cause an accident, so they can get PAID. I used to live in New York where they had no problem leaning on the horn as soon as the light changed, or even signal if they're making a turn but now that I'm in Metro-Orlando?

Southern Hospitality.

Which leads me to something else I'm tired of...

How come when cell phones drop out we're okay with that? If our internet connection goes down or drops out we're outraged. If a car was going 60 miles per hour and then the engine turned off, well, we'd be more than outraged, we wouldn't buy that brand again. But we're fine with, "I must have lost you." We're used to calls dropping out, or accounts beying disable because of bank security, beeing unable to pay bills, or order online and that's not good.

And how come the roads are a mess? Pot holes, streets needing to be repaved, sink holes, land bridge collapse and that's just here in Florida. Need I remind you it doesn't snow here and they don't salt the roads in the winter?  Every time I go home to Rhode Island or NY NY I'm shocked, shocked I say, at the state of the freeways there. They have huge pot holes and they are in dire need of repaving and somehow that does not happen. Why is that?

Which leads me to...

How come Healthcare is so expensive? You've heard this a thousand times before but we live in the wealthiest country in the world but, some advice here, don't have an operation or need costly medication attention becausecyou suffered a stroke or had an accident. It's a good way to go broke and lose everything and that's not right. In many countries you just go into the hospital, get registered and... come out fixed and ready to go and not bankruptcy or taking out a small mortage to pay bills. It shouldn't be that way here.

And by the way you've seen ads for medications all over the tube. "Ask your doctor about..." is a phrase we've all gotten used to. Here's the thing, is it just me or have you listened to, "side effects include...?" It seems like it goes on forever. Man, some of those side effects are worse than the thing that brought you there in the first place.

And don't get me started on the legal ads about gettin' PAID for personal injury from the ambulace chasers per the local bar association that dispatches your call not to the lawyer you responded to, but that next one in the queue... so you can get PAID.

I could go on but let me just stop here.

And get off my soap box
