echinopsis posted:tell me more it should have at least $5 but ideally $8 (or up to $50) once you get married you take up the obligation to give it to kids. but in families elders still give it to their adult children and children in-law also the idea is you should spend it soon and not bank it it’s a nice tradition that cuts out a lot of the bs around “gift exchange within a budget”

dinner at my sister's and then as happens every year my parents (who i've lately come to realise are both insanely dull people) insist we sit in front of the TV for hours and hours watching the blandest poo poo and the exact same "classic" TV clips that have been repeated every christmas for 30+ years

in english parlance, when does a classic become vintage or is that interchangeable depending on how rude you wish to be?

Friends, we have ascended the extended weekend mountain and the remainder of the year lays ahead. https://i.imgur.com/3xlcWxZ.mp4 If you didn't get the chance to do everything you wanted to this weekend, there's only five lousy days until the last shot at greatness this year. See you then.
