Ticked off! @landscaping guys

I’m ticked off at all of these blow and go landscaping guys who are in such a rush they pull out in front of you in traffic with no regard to the fact that they’re towing a trailer.

It is time for the media to make changes. More shows with the society we want than the violent murder fiction. I remember the shows with a good story and not just blood and guts. Columbo and Murder She Wrote were mysteries but the story was the focus.

I am more than ticked off! For years that when I buy a Coke product — say at a food court — that for $3 all I get is colored carbonated water and a cup full of ice. At least at convenience stores I control the ice but they control the syrup (and it’s only costs .79 cents). Unless someone assures me differently, these sodas cost the seller about .05 cents. Coke should clamp down on this disregard for its reputation.

I’m ticked off that while watching the news tonight about the Orange County Task Force and the fact we have spent millions of dollars on it, when I call OCSO today on a house on my street in Pine Hills and report vandalism and being personally threatened with violence by the offenders, OCSO never came out to protect this senior citizen. All talk and no action as usual.

I’m ticked off at my health care company that recently denied a dental claim after two separate dentists from two separate practices stated that the treatment was necessary. They disagreed with both opinions that the situation was dire enough to authorize treatment. What I’m really ticked off about is that the health care organization made a big deal about increasing our Medicare dental coverage, but then they don’t allow us to use it!

The flip side

Thank you to Neal from Harvey Baker Plumbing who fixed our outdoor leaking faucet. He was very professional and did an excellent job.
