is it at a certain age? is it an attitude? ......a way of life?

Probably all three but, I think one really has to work at it to become one.

stubborness is inherited and or breeding
ill tempered is either from the pecking order or a nutritional deficiency
the notions part is a matter of your level of insanity.

You become a curmudgeon when you hate everyone including yourself. Not something to aspire to. We don't have any here, just crusty old bastages..:hihi:

Probably starts from being to damn lonely. Hug a curmudgeon today.:jump:

i thought it starts when Arnold calls you up

and says hes gonna kick your A$$ and

who's your daddy? :D

Raven ...LOL

Did you read my post about the kids at work pullng that prank on the old Sgt. the other day?

i thought it was hilarious....:hihi:

i'll have you know that i read "almost" every post
on Striped Bass.com
sometimes twice... :read:

i read at least 4 to 5 hours per day... because i have the time...
i read at redlights...where ever i go, i have a book with me.

my day starts online at 5 am and i read til around 10am (not all online)then i do a numerous amount of chores on the farm... till 2 pm and have lunch ...at 4 pm i either work down in the man cave or i'm out cutting wood. Some days i'm playing chauffer for the wife who's absolutely terrified
of driving in snow storms like were having today on 1-3-06 .
Thats when i go to book stores or library's or various appointments
in the city, errands(shopping) or to the Office.ect.

around 6,7,8pm , i read more online ,do ART and/or study til my head hits the keyboard (10-12pm) and then try to sleep until 4:30 am again .....thats when the dingo alarm clock goes off.

today: i left at 6 am and I have allot of shoveling to do as we have
around 16 inches of snow so far. As i came up the driveway the orange town plow was coming down so i had to back up 500 feet to allow him passage.:doh: and that was a bitch because i thought i'd end up STUCK in the drainage ditch.:shocked: Sooo slippery i almost didn't make it home in the Camry....wishing i was driving the 4 x 4 but it was full of wood i cut yesterday.

When the bunch in your panties get caught up in the cross hairs.:eek5:
