I hate websites that talk to me

Can I hate on auto start music in this thread?

[Crankin]

Yah, I hate that, too.
As for the laundry icons, DH printed out a chart of those, and taped by the washer/dryier, since he buys a lot of European clothes (many US men's clothes don't come in a size small). However, the icons are so small, as well as the print, that if I don't have my reading glasses on, it's useless. I need to enlarge it!

I just keep an old pair of reading glasses on top of the dryer ...

Because of this discussion, I just learned something new (to me) about the laundry symbols! I never noticed the horizontal bars indicating gentle (2 bars) or permanent press (1 bar).

As for the topic of this thread--I hate all that stuff too. What is it about us? We're not all just old, are we?

I don't think it's being old as much as not being a fan of change. I love to read CNN's website but can't stand that over half of their articles are web clips only.

Change is good when it results in an improvement.
Probably what we dislike is change for its own sake.

Like when someone packages an "educational program" for an electronic device, so instead of being just plain old ineffective pedagogy, it is now high tech ineffective pedagogy.
