| We’d love to have you join us as a member, but if you’re still not ready for committment (grow up!) at least leave us your thoughts in our Guestbook. All that we ask is that you TRY to keep it clean and refrain from anything that would make us or your mother want to delete it. We’re not exactly “politically correct” here but we do have SOME amount of common decency in our blood. Keep in mind that a really good Piss & Moan is NOT something like "I hate taxes" or "traffic is really bad these days" or "This website sucks" or something else that everyone already bitches about. A good Piss & Moan is something that people generally don't complain about, but when you mention it, they all say "Oh, yeah, that really bugs me too!" |

| Please forgive me. It's raining. I have a bad headache - no aspirin, and 30c left to last the month. I spent part of the day researching a project. I didn't find what I was looking for. But I found a lot of other local history things. Pictures and stories from the coal fields, the oil fields, the mills. Too many to remember clearly when or where. Stories of men needlessly dying deep underground because the fine was cheaper than the fix. Stories of the widow and children of those men being told they had two days to vacate the company house so the new miner and his family could move in. Stories of men blown to bits hauling nitroglycerine over rutted dirt roads. Stories of threshermen crushed to death because some county or township officials wouldn't spend money to fix a rotten bridge and their engine fell through. Stories of dignity in the face of grinding poverty, stories of discrimination (race, nationality, religion), stories of grave injustice. Stories of the 4 horsemen; Death, Famine, Pestilence, even War ( The first and last too often being brought to working men by their employers in the form of the Pinkertons or other hired strongmen.) Stories of callous indifference. Stories of how the US really grew in the late 19th and early 20th Century - stripped of all it's fairy tale trappings - handed down by those who lived it. And Pictures? Pictures of too many caskets lined up in neat rows, sometimes with several very small ones on the end. Pictures of small dirty boys sorting coal, or carrying a man's burden instead of school books - to help feed their families. Pictures of run down tenements. Pictures of young women with old, exhaustion lined faces and haunted, worried eyes. Pictures of tally sheets that showed the worker owed more for basic necessities to the company store than the pittance that he had earned that week. And pictures of those great historic industrialists and financiers who's names most folks still know; Carnegie, Frick, Rockefeller, Gould - fishing or hunting, rowing on a private lake, walking on manicured lawns, or just relaxing on the veranda of their mansions. All quite dapper in their fine clothes. And always so very far away from those other pictures. Please remember, I've never been a union member in my life. 20 some-odd years ago I probably even sounded a lot like some of these Tea Party folks do now. (Not the batshit crazy ones, the others) Funny how not being able to breathe properly, or work a 8 hour day without the very real possibly of ending up in hospital for your trouble can open your eyes to the other side of capitalism's golden coin. The side built from the blood, tears and sweat of those others who often never shared in it's rewards. I didn't ask to get sick. I didn't earn it by living the life of a wastrel. It just happened. And that means I'm somehow less human now? Or perhaps I'm becoming more humane? Sometimes I wonder.... The slash and burn ultra cons may be in the headlines. Meanwhile, the pictures and stories of the REAL "golden era" that they so fervently wish for us to return to are there - quietly waiting for those who care to seek them out. | |

| So yesterday I 'knocked a girl flying', did I? Bullshit. There wasn't even enough room on the pavement to knock anyone flying. Perhaps if you fucking take control of your kids for a change and let people pass then people wouldn't get hurt. Perhaps if all you chav slags kept your legs shut for a change then there would be a pleasant lack of ill-behaved kids knocking about and getting in people's way. Oh, and the reason I couldn't hear you is because I was listening to metal on my headphones, and it was good and loud to block out the scabby kids and their even scabbier parents. If you think I did it on purpose, then you're a bigger muppet than I thought. Take your sourpuss, bulldog-licking-piss-off-a-nettle face and fuck off back to Jeremy Kyle. | |

| Trashed my health in the 60's with various recreational drugs and over 40 years of cigarettes (2-3 packs a day). Had heart failure (CHF - not heart attack)3-1/2 years ago and fully recovered. Total diet change (and 'legal' drugs.. go figure) has me healthier now than I was at 10 years old. My gripe.. was laid off from work a year ago, lost my insurance and now no insurance company will touch me due to a pre-existing condition. However, they are more than happy to fully insure the unhealthiest people who have probably been stuffing their faces with the equivalent of a stick of butter wrapped in cheese at every meal. Oh, don't forget the cup of salt to make it just that much tastier and 2 cups of sugar to wash it all down. Just pisses me off... | |

| Subject: Health Insurance | Location: U.S.A. |
| As a child of the 60's, I spent about 15 years (age 12-27) abusing my health with alcohol and various non-addictive drugs. Also smoked 2-3 packs of cigarettes a day for over 40 years. Only vegetables I ate came on a sub or pizza. Loved fruit but had no sweet tooth so ate almost none. Just bread, butter, and meat - all loaded with sodium and fat. Recently laid off from work, lost my insurance. About 3 years before being laid off, I had heart failure (CHF - not a heart attack). Totally changed my diet to no-meat no-saturated fat. I'm healthier now than I was at 10. My gripe is - when I was among the unhealthiest people on Earth (that covers most of you) I could get all the insurance I wanted and more for a few dollars a month. Now, no insurance company will touch me for any amount due to a 'pre-existing condition'. Yet everyday I see people commiting suicide by food and having no trouble at all obtaining insurance policies. I don't even have the option of just getting prescription and doctor visits only (no hospitalization). Insurance companies will insure someone who eats a stick of butter wrapped in cheese at dinner everyday for 50 years.. Hell. Pisses me off, that's all.. | |

| So here we are in New Orleans, years after the Big One, and FEMA still can't get their act together. There are thousands of people just wandering around out of work and mostly homeless (unless they want to live in a formaldehyde trailer). Don't know what's worse: the storm or the Bush administration. | |

| Subject: Employer interview questions | Location: Seattle,WA |
| How many interviews have I been subjected to with the inane, insipid, pointless, pre-digested questions? I'd like to suggest some answers to the worst questions that ought to have interviewers thinking twice about their OWN careers: Question #1) "Why do you want to work for our company?" Answer-"Because it's my life's ambitioin to have a thankless, part-time, dead-end job at a company with pathetic wages, crappy benefits, and enormous turnover!" Question #2) "What can you offer our company?" Answer-"Everything I have; nothing you'd ever appreciate." *AND* Question #3) "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" Answer-"Hopefully doing anything>>ANYTHING>>but making a living asking pointless, regurgitated questions like:'Where do you see yourself in 5 years?!?'!!!" It's become my rule of thumb that if a company asks one or all of the above questions during an interview, any talent or hard work I could bring to would be utterly wasted and better utilized elsewhere. Looking forward to Piss and Moan getting a move on , already. Sincerely, Andy Dockhorn | |

| This crazy piece of legislation called the "Americans with Disabilities Act" has gone WAY too far. Have you ever seen more than two of the dozens of handicapped parking spaces at the Home Depot filled up? I guess if you're in a wheelchair you can't put a new roof on your house, duh! Even worse is to see these spaces at trailhead parking in the national parks. Besides parking, this stupid act has forced closure of many businesses that couldn't make their site completely accessible to human vegetables. I feel sorry for these poor schmucks but should everyone suffer just because of them??? Has anyone ever challenged this stuff legally?! | |
