Things that Do Not Piss Me Off

Friends,

I got to thinking that if I post all those ‘things that piss me off’ I might end up feeling badly about life (my list is up 68, which isn’t bad considering it is earth.) Then I went to work at the school (yes, I work in a public school where they spend tax dollars teaching children about Darwinism) and one of my co-workers suggested that perhaps I should balance out my list with some things that do not piss me off (again, piss and prepositions; sorry.) So, my list of things that do not piss me off began easily enough and is now up to 109 and it only took about 20 minutes or so to come up with that many. Now that I’m off for the day, I’ll have more time to think about things and make note of them. So, here you go: My List of Things that Do not Piss Me Off. I’ll go slow, maybe 20 or so at a time. Enjoy!

1. My Really Hot Wife.
2. My three Sons.
3. God’s Grace
