Thanks Ape Pussy!
Haven't spoken to my parents in years. I wouldn't keep such an extraordinary amount of distance away from them if they were good people. Cutting them off significantly improved my life.


Anyway, merry christmas and happy holiday you all.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

I'll be happy if my sister doesn't start "testing the waters" on her privilege of being afraid of refugees again tomorrow. Since our holiest of loving nights is the 24th, we obviously hit the church early and then unwrap gifts and poo poo at 5pm, so we can eat by 6pm, and last year, my sister decided she'd casually probe if it's okay to say she's JUST A CONCERNED MOTHER, YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND, NO I DON'T NEED STATISTICS TELLING ME I'M AN IDIOT.

I'd rather not call her out on her bullshit again tomorrow, because last time, my dad kinda tried to smooth her bullshit over by saying it's just an opinion, and I'm not having American bullshit-Thanksgiving rules move into my fine nation.

I was talking to my mother this morning and she wants me to come home to visit, but i'm honest with her that I don't want to fight with family and right now there is no way I won't.

My mom is more like a generous older sister and her husband is an awesome smart dude with an amazing job and leans hard left.

My biological dad is a drunk migrant worker I never talk to.

So the tax bill had been brought up which my uncle and cousin think is great despite not making much money and having debts. They're also happy that Obamacare will probably die. This is a guy who went $600k in the hole andthe only real consequence was he'll never be able to get a loan again. Oh that drat social safety net. I kept my mouth shut during all of this.

Working this weekend, playing video games and working on the Jeep Monday, then driving to my mom's house Tuesday to spend the rest of the week with my her and my kid. We'll be going to see TLJ and working on his truck, since the driver's door lock stopped working a few days ago and the inside door handle doesn't work.

I've got a big goddamn order at work to fill tuesday morning and end of year inventory the next day.

I'm glad I went to see family over thanksgiving instead of christmas this year. Gonna spend the rest of the weekend in a haze of hash bread and video games.

Brought my girlfriend out to Tucson to spend the holidays at my sister's place. It's gonna be a fairly short Christmas for her- a few days before we left, she found out that her 90-something grandmother had passed away and now has to fly trans-Pacific on Christmas Day. She's okay since it wasn't entirely unexpected, but obviously a little sad. I'm trying to show her as good of time as I can before she heads out on the morning of the 25th, so we've been going running and hiking and having a great time with my family. Fortunately the only political arguments I have with my immediate family are "Trump: worst president ever or worst president that ever will be?"

Underpinning all of this is that my girlfriend isn't gonna be my girlfriend much longer. At some point in the next few months, I'm going to upgrade her to fiancée.

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to all of you, hope you have a great one!

Quality posting direct from my brain to your face holes.
My checklist so far:

-bitcoin
-trump
-the poors
-everything is too expensive now
-nothing makes any sense any more
-poo poo talking the grandkid who couldn't visit this holiday
-long winded explanation of why each family member is bad

You will find no one to help you here. Beth DuClare has been dissected and placed in cryonic storage.

One of my oddball brothers is visiting. He's the type who can be a prick without realizing or caring. For example:

"Have you seen the new Star Wars?"
"No, I've only seen the first six."
"Oh, yeah I didn't like the prequels. Too family friendly and such. But the new ones are good and dark. Like how Han Solo got killed by his son."

I got legos for my nephews, but one of the boxes is slightly smaller than the other.

You sure your family isn't celebrating festivus?

Is there a galvanized pipe standing nearby? Have there been any feats of strength events?

I liked the Christmas when my cousin refused to come after it got back to her that grandma said living with her boyfriend before marriage was basically the same thing as prostitution.

I'm not going home for Christmas and my family had their get together yesterday. Having my entire family in one house is like elevating the tension to 1000 because we all kind of don't like eachother. Seriously, everybody has an issue with at least one other person (including me). I'll go home for New Years and party with the couple of relatives I get along with well.

I feel like my mental state is a lot healthier because of this decision.

Her name was Ruth. And she was a cool old lady that still league bowled and drank beer deep into her 80s.

She took a shotgun shell to the shoulder when her husband heard a prowler and she decided staying put where her husband last saw her was a bad idea, so she collected some bird shot. Pretty boss for an old lady.

Super loving catholic though.
