Why does anybody wrap anything when gift bags exist!

Easy, attractive and they come with built-in handles.

Whenever I receive a gift in a bag I tear it up so that no one else can reuse it.

My 8 year old nephew, who got a Xbox or PS4 for Xmas, got a huge stuffed Olaf from me. According to my dad, he has carried that thing around EVERYWHERE today and loving loves it. I almost didn't give him one because I thought he was too 'grown up' for a huge Olaf. Which makes me think that all the grief I had about giving another to a friend's kid was for nothing, because I'm sure even a 5 year old who hated Frozen would love a stuffed snowman as big as him. Ah well, he got K'Nex instead.

I didn't get to see any cool pictures on Facebook from my other niece and nephews about their gifts.

I have to take my 1999 Nissan Altima in to the shop tomorrow because the Check Engine light came on, and I am scared shitless the repair will be more than the car is worth, and I have emissions due next April.

I'm cleaning out my house and throwing away old junk, and there's some stuff I don't want but is probably worth something, and also cost a decent amount to begin with, so I don't want to just throw them out, but I also don't feel like going through the effort of selling them online.

I went to some extended family Christmas dinner because it's free food but I don't know anyone and am awkward because I'm a goony goon, so I'm sitting here on SA.

You said a lot of confusing words so I had my houseboy translate it for me because I think he's Malaysian, which is close enough. He told me it means, "Sir, you are most handsome and wise. You're generosity is legend and your sexual prowess is that of a god."




So, thanks!

When life becomes too painful, sometimes it's better to just become a drunk.
My husband is out of town tonight into tomorrow so I can order dinner from a restaurant he doesn't like. They were out of Mac and Cheese. I got my money back but I would have ordered from a different restaurant he doesn't like, I only ordered because I could get Mac and Cheese from this specific place. :(

I'm assuming KFC is one of your "fast food" "chains". Abernathy, my digital media servant, tells me it serves chicken that has fat added to it and served in an upturned top hat. Ha ha. Whatever keeps the rabble happy, eh?

A couple years ago my parents got me a nice pair of winter gloves for Christmas. They were great! Super warm. I worked at Walmart at the time and I would spend large swaths of time organizing poo poo in their freezers so I started wearing the gloves while I worked because why not? Get some use out of them. I always left my gloves in the same employee area whenever I wasn't using them. One day they went missing. I can only guess they got stolen because lord knows it'd be hard for me to misplace them where I left them. Never told my parents because whatever. Went gloveless for a couple years.

This year I flew home for Christmas. To my surprise they probably forgot they ever got me those gloves in the first place because they got me another pair! Hell yeah!

I just flew home today and realized I forgot them on the loving plane and I'm beyond upset with myself. :negative:

I don't want to go in to work today but I'm bored at home. Work it is!

I went to get the Check Engine Light checked out and the mechanic didn't open on time.

I really miss walking out in the house, flicking on the Xmas lights, and having the living room with these small bright flashing lights. Maybe I need to go pick up some Xmas lights on clearance now to tacky up the room again.

I got a large amount of money in a cheque from my grandmother for Christmas. My mother said she'd put it somewhere safe and now she's lost it.

I know it can be cancelled and reissued if we don't find it but I was going to cash it tomorrow. Now I've got deal with arguments and watch them unpack every bag.

At my old job we worked in the freezer and would have to use a scanner (telxon or w/e) to scan each and everything thing in and out, maybe you had to do the same thing. It was a huge pain in the rear end using the bulky gloves to push the tiny buttons so we asked the manager if we could look into getting some better gloves more suited to it and they replied, "can't you just cut the fingertips off of the ones we have?"

The ancient medallion that keeps me young and brilliant turned out to be worth slightly less than initially appraised.

I'm not selling it, of course. The dealer had brought the cash and when I opened it after slaying him there was not as much as I was expecting.
His jeweled watch and studded doublet should make up the difference but that means dealing with another dealer.

Next time I am sending Abernathy if his swordsman skills ever improve.

The old man that lives downstairs from me has been practicing the Banjo since right after I moved in a year and a half ago. He's no better than when he started and has yet to learn a tune, but I'll be damned if he hasn't put in the hours each week trying.

This new podcast I'm listening to (This Was Rad) doesn't have all the episodes in my podcast app. So I load their page, and they are there, but they are so quiet that I have to up the volume up. Which makes playing anything else while doing it impossible.

Someone in my building or the one right next to it plays the clarinet with similar results. Occasionally one of my neighbours yells some harsh critique out of her window, but that does not seem to discourage him.

Extinction for our time

Turns out that noise I heard while driving around last night was someone scoring a hit on one of my back windows with an egg, couldn't see the bits of eggshell in the dark so didn't figure it out until today. I think some of the yolk has dripped inside of the door, so now my car smells pretty rank and I'm not sure if I can do much about it.

Guess I shouldn't be too surprised though, I was driving through the same degenerate neighborhood that used to have this as a local landmark.
