My father can’t help but say shit that comes across insulting to my wife.


My wife is like a hunter, searching for any hint of an insult.

Working 90 seconds of walking through the door, he said something she took as criticizing her stirring the queso. She walked off in a huff, and is now pouting in the living room while he chats with my daughter in the kitchen.

I get to enjoy a tense evening, then she’ll unload on me after he leaves, maybe even suggest that they spend Christmas in separate rooms tomorrow.

There ain’t enough booze for this.

This is absolutely patently false.

was she folding?  I'm from fucking California, but even I know that queso needs to be folded.    Your dad may or may not be an asshole.  I reserve judgement there.

First of five Christmases starts tomorrow morning at 7:30 AM sharp. The fifth will conclude at 6:30 PM on the 26th. Thankfully I am driving no further then 18 minutes from my house… the only problem is Hooks is 15 minutes away. 
 

Godspeed everyone. The goal is not to make everyone (or anyone) happy, just less upset.

PSA: only buy tickets from the event itself or from a verifiable market like stub hub. Also “too good to be true” always. $1600 for 6 front row tickets could be a stretch via a ticket agency/scalper for a holiday show right before Xmas.

high quality story. It could have ended with the fake tickets and gotten an A from me.  A resulting hospital visit takes it up to A++.

You're doing it wrong.  The trick is for you to keep sipping, while getting them hammered and watching the show!!!

With bar codes and the ability to cancel the existing codes and have them reissued, this is essential.  Scalping tix at an event like the old days is a thing of the past.  No way to know if the tix are any good.

Ok so my Borderline personality disorder ex has a contribution.

Daughter is with me and mine today. We spent yesterday holed up in a bayou off Sabine lake, catching reds and then made it home for my stepbro and sis in laws annual Christmas eve. Today is all day with my parents and family.

Daughter gets a text from her mom. She has prepaid for brunch in Houston, reservations at 1. Today. Just in case her plans change.

Daughter texts her back "how nice. As my plans have been set for a year now, I will be over that way sometime after 5, if I still decide to come."

Brunch is at 10. Let your ex know that she made reservations for a late lunch.

Not family, but our downstairs neighbor texted my wife at 0830 as we were opening and putting together presents for our early elementary aged kids to complain that he could hear them playing. Merry Christmas.
 

He’s a total chump who texts her because he would never have the balls text me or even come knock on the door. Dickhead is lucky they aren’t in the “wake up at 0430 on Christmas” stage anymore.

Imagine having @SydneyCarton talk to you, but louder and with more gin... And since he lives alone, he can't seem to stop talking until he falls asleep.

That's my father. Been here since Thursday. Got damn... We didnt speak this much when I was a child.... No need to catch up all at once.

My sister has been here since Monday with her fiance.

Love them to death, but damn...  My boys don't even want to be in the room.  I've been on the patio with my BIL.  He's cool. He's loud (he's a radio guy) but he knows when to STFU.

Going to the in-laws in a bit. More little loud kids. More old and loud boomers. 

Tomorrow is the real Christmas - when everyone goes home and shit is quiet.

Merry LOUD Christmas.

This never before met relative, are they white, with dreadlocks? 

White, straight blonde hair. Fire dancer is doing tarot card readings this morning. I suppose she's a multi purpose gypsy witch.

Sounds like she'd be dynamite in the sack.

I'm so blessed not to have to deal with that bullshit.
God bless you, and glad you're getting quality time on the lake and such with your daughter!!!
 
Thanks.

Ex is extra salty this year as our son and new DIL are having their first Christmas, at Ft. Bragg.

Her field of fire now only includes her husband, elderly mother, and whatever minions she can co-opt.

Hoping for this, but guessing not?

I have to give my cousins credit, 5 hours of booze-filled conversation last night and politics only came up a couple times.  However, my cousin and her youngest daughter (21, no pics) somehow manage to work in "Covid is overblown, Omicron is no big deal, don't get the vaccine" into almost every conversation.  It's quite a gift.

Cross posting here.

This is my first Christmas with weed.  (Edibles.). I’ve a slow easy high for three days now, including today.  10mg mid morning and I’m chill but functional rest of the day.  Family bullshit hasn’t mattered.

Did hot yoga this morning while high.

Unexpectedly best Christmas ever.

I was 10mg yesterday watching old football games on patio with my BIL... Then my mom came over... Didn't mess it up.
