Here is a interesting article about some of the suspected dangers of fluoride. You can also just google 'dangers of fluoride' and get lots more information. Some dogs can get very sick from drinking water with fluoride in it. I am so thankful that we have a wonderful water well at our home with great tasting water.

Hidden Danger in Your Drinking Water and Toothpaste / Fluoride and Fluoridated Water's Link to Thyroid Disease

I hear ya on the fluoride!...If people only took the time to look up things they would be surprised and p.oed.....Every time I see water made especially for babies fortified with fluoride I just shake my head......This is Dr. Mercola's articles.....

Yes, I love Dr. Mercola's newsletter. I have been reading it for years. It is an eyeopener. I am like you, I would not get a Swine Flu shot for anything. I won't even get a regular flu shot.

Okay, here I go:

Dog or Cat food in a foil bag. Always ends up getting all over my hands.

People who wear extremely strong perfume/cologne. I shouldn't have to smell you when you aren't even in eyesight and especially in a hospital.

I work in a hospital and I was doing my rounds in the morning and I walk through this hallway that literally reeked of someones perfume... and they weren't even in sight... no one was. I won't even wear stuff like that to work even if it's not strong because of patients and for consideration to others. I have asthma and walking through that almost sent me into an attack.

MeganS · 09-12-2009, 05:16 PM

People who stop at the bottoms of escalators.

Escalators scare me ANYWAY - I HATE them. and I avoid them whenever possible. But whenever I am on one, there's always a least one person who stops at the bottom blocking traffic. it's like HELLO - do you WANT me to get sucked underneath?

dogbert · 09-13-2009, 10:14 AM

It's painted on the ground at the top of the escalators in Australia especially at the train stations to not stop at the top. I guess people get to the top and start looking for their train instead of walking away or to the side. Of course everyone behind them has no place to go. I made it a point to walk to the side what does hubby do? Stop. LOL

Agreed!!!!

I don't like when people litter. I mean how lazy can you be?!?!?!

My new boss is my pet peeve.

He likes to put down all of my decisions and make me feel like I don't know what I am doing. The funny thing is that I have been doing this for 8 years and I am the only one that does this job for the company. He likes to get me on the phone on Fridays and ruin my weekend.

capt_noonie · 09-13-2009, 09:46 PM

People that keep ramming their opinions down your throat, and stating that their opinions are based on facts, when they are actually based on opinions!

MeganS · 09-14-2009, 12:31 PM

^I agree 100%. Or people who shove religion down your throat. Don't want this thread to turn all religious or anything, but this morning I was sitting in my English class and we were talking about religion and my friend asked me what the difference was between my religion and for example Catholicism. I told her the one main difference, and she threw it back in my face with a matter-of-fact tone, rather than a "well I believe..." It hurt my feelings.

People who whine about stupid things. Whenever a teacher assigns homework in school the entire class groans. It's like...people...we've been doing this for 11 years. I think there's been enough time for the shock to have worn off, no?

capt_noonie · 09-16-2009, 08:57 PM

Ugh, people that have anti Obama bumper stickers! I saw one the other day that said:
O ne
B ig
A $$
M istake,
A merica

Come on! Why don't you just put a big "I'm a big fat racist!" bumper sticker on your car instead???

Another one, related... I've noticed a LOT more racism in the past few months in my area. Lots of affluent white people in my county that are pissed that Obama won. Hey if you voted, then you voted. the people spoke. If you didn't vote, then you should shut the hell up. I'm upset as hell about prop 8 passing (anti gay marriage) but the people of CA spoke.

Come to think of it, politics in general is a pet peeve of mine.

dogbert · 09-17-2009, 08:14 AM

I hate it when people try to tell you who to vote for before an election. Then gloat when their guy wins, then if/when their guy does something that stirs everyone up they deny they ever voted for him. Well, somebody did his sitting in the Oval Office! UGH!
