I will bitch you out if you fail in this task), plum sauce (what's the point? ...that it's supposed to taste like crap?), parents who don't parent, those who tell me I'm crazy (I already know that), exercise (at the moment), the fungus on my tomato plants, taxes, mowing grass, cleaning my house, people who think 'feeling sick' is an emergency which puts me at risk while getting to them in a hurry, drama - and now I've fallen for it and look even 'crazier' than before, the American political system, court shows, etc.....................................................................
