What are you sick of?

I am so sick of hearing about gluten-free this and gluten-free that.  Ugh!  You google things and you see "gluten-free" bread, gluten-free muffins, gluten-free pizza!  I get spam emails for gluten-free recipes.  And it is getting harder and harder to find wheat gluten at the store.  I go to the natural food store there is a whole isle called "gluten-free".  So I must look like a freak when I am checking out with my bag of Bob Mill's Wheat Gluten.  

Peanut free schools.  As if peanuts are some terrible thing brought to earth from satin himself.  What kid didn't grow up on peanut butter and jelly sandwichs?  And kids can't even take PB&J sandwichs to school anymore because there MAY be that one kid with a peanut allergy that MIGHT eat some of the sandwich and get a reaction. 

Use up all the hot water.  Here at work there is a container to put water in and it heats it up.  Every morning I fill it up as I am waiting for my computer to boot up, turn it on then come back to my office and check my email.  Half of the time, when I get back out to the breakroom to get my cup of decaf tea, that container is hot, but empty.  Somebody used all the water and never refilled it.  Why do you think I put the water on to heat on the first place?!  >:(  Just annooys the crap out of me!  I even put more water in there than I need because I know other people also want hot water but does anybody do that for me??? NOOOOO.  I miss the midwest, and even upstate NY.  Here on Long Island people are the ruddest I have ever seen! 

What are you just sick of? >:(

I am sick of this administration.  I so hope people will wake up and realize the consequences of throwing so much money here and there and everywhere.  Why are we allowing  all these money throwers to leave the burden on younger generations?  Do they really think they can pay the american taxpayer back within their administration?  Geez my sons only 3 and is generation going to be able to really cover all the costs that this administration is throwing out there?  Also, I am so sick of seeing Mr. Obama on TV everyday.  You are the President not a rock star.  I could care less what you eat, drink, how oyu live, what brands you wear, etc.......  I just want you to do a good job which, I really don't think you are.  Maybe I'm too conservative but, I can't wait till the next election to get this admin out of congress.

I am sick and tired of people's reactions when you tell them you choose to not eat something as opposed to being unable to. People will be really nice and helpful if you tell them that you are allergic to dairy (which I am) and make sure that there isn't any in your food. But the moment you phrase it as choosing not to consume dairy or meat for that matter, than they tend to get pissy and write you off as a nutcase.

Here here!!!!

I agree, you can't just throw money at the problem without finding a solution.  Doesn't work.  

And as far as our kids inheriting the problem, most likley they won't, they will just leave.  US isn't as great as it used to be of a place to live.  My son when he grows up will probably leave and go to Europe, I have  no doubt.  Taxes will be so high that I can see a huge outflux of people here in about 10 to 20 years from now.  The only people left here in the US will be the homeless, insane, and drug lords, because none of those poeple pay taxes.  Taxes will be so high that anybody who is good and does pay taxes will leave for greener pastures, and then there won't be anybody left to pay taxes and so taxes will get even higher and it will get so bad that the US economy will just come tumbling down, at least that is my doomsday scenario, I just hope I am wrong.

I'm sick of negativity. People who seem to go around like there's some sort of prize for being the biggest downer.

I agree that the Obama administration is throwing around a lot of money. That being said, you need to understand that there exists a school of economic thought believing that a recessed economy needs to be stimulated by the government in order to recover in a relatively short period of time. You should also know that in the years following the great depression, taxes were almost 90 percent. While it is true that fewer people paid an income tax in those years, the fact remains that the income tax rate was incredibly high, and those people did not leave their country. If you think the US is going to hell, then get out. Don't wait for the mass exodus. Just get out now and beat the rush.

Peanut allergies are quite serious!  Some people asphyxiate with peanuts even in the room!  One of my students had to leave the room once because someone snuck a peanut butter cup during class and it was triggering her asthma.  That's hardly worth the nostalgic experience of eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.  Save it for home when it won't endanger other people's lives.  Good grief.  

I'm with yabbit and AC on this one.  I'm not really sick of anything except negativity and excuses.  Some people will find any excuse to bitch about life.

I just heard this person say she is vegan 99% of the time and eats fish when she goes to a restaurant where no vegan options are available or while on vacation. Yet, she owns a vegan bakery and has a vegan blog. ????????????  Are you seriously telling me a restaurant does not have salad?  Even McDonalds has a salad. There's always something you can eat.

THIS. If you don't want, or intend, to do what you say, tell me. I'm an adult. I'd rather have you be honest than waste my time.

I agree!  a) gov't directly employs 1/4 of the working pop. b) Quite of few companies are based on gov't contracts - for small to mid size businesses this is a big source or work.  Reduced gov't spending=less jobs.  That is the problem most states are facing, especially my state California.  They cut back spending and therefore raise unemployment rates a few percentage points.

I for one am glad there are a lot of gluten-free options. My grandma has celiac, and it went undiagnosed for years. Only in her 70's did she find out why she was so skinny, had noooooo energy, weird health problems even though she ate quite healthy. I love going to the gluten free isle and buying treats to send her.
