    This ad came up while my FiL was watching an outdoor show on YouTube, and I commented that it looked like they missed their target audience. He responded with a grunt and look of physical illness, and my ice and I laughed about it the entire (10 minute) ride home.

    Wednesday night I go over to my dad's house to see my stepmom and sisters. We live within 2 miles of each other. We have a fire, beer and fireball all night. Great night.

    I slept on the couch and went home at 6am to put the turkey in the smoker to get ready for dinner. I get over to thier house and my step sisters announce they are now going to thier dad's house for dinner. Stepmom is fuming. Stepmom and sisters are saying this over a bowl.

    Fuck it, not my clowns not my circus right? I walked in as they were leaving. I'm not trying to get in the middle of that so I go to the fridge and grab 2 beers, sit on the couch and start watching football.

    As soon as the girls left she looks me and screams you are already drinking. I'm bewildered. I look at her and look at the clock. It's 2pm on Thanksgiving... Yes I'm having a beer. She yelled at me for a minute. I got up without saying a word grabbed my beer and turkey and left. It's a happy day don't come at me with that shit.

    my in laws are driving us to myrtle beach to see family that we saw less than a month ago, to see drive through christmas lights, and to sit on the beach (we are already in a trashy beach town currently)

    it was determined that COVID was too bad to visit my family and friends in Texas (which I agree)

    and I’m missing tech basketball to eat fucking jersey mikes on the beach while the people we are visiting take an hour to go take family Christmas photos

    yes I’m mad and ohio is a terrible place

    Moved into a condo that my roommate’s family owned my freshman year of college. We were going over rent and expenses and they asked me to pay half of the land line phone bill and I don’t think I’ve ever yaofaced harder in my life. Told them no one would ever be calling me on that number and I would never be calling anyone.

    They finally just removed it halfway through the first semester.

    Technology is really great. I'm out in Colorado and was able to facetime with my daughter just before she, 3 of her grandparents, and my ex had dinner. After work me, my brother (who was able to drive up since he has been quarantined the last two weeks after he got a short notice tasker to support some Special Ops dudes) my parents and my daughter got to play a bunch of games together combining Facetime and JackBox for a few hours. Kept the lonely away for a bit.

    Update: They came to dinner. Haven’t seen anyone in nearly 3 weeks. No Covid concerns.
    However, my in laws are late for everything SIL included. The night before I said be here around 1 to eat at 2 or when it’s ready. My wife jokes with me because as an engineer this shit is all timed perfectly. I did just about all the cooking all morning. SIL and boyfriend show up at 1:59. I already had the food out and I’m eating with whoever shows up. They continue to “make” their salad. Clusterfuck. Cutting veggies and shredding cheese. Homemade salad dressing....25 minutes later I’m fuming because we are waiting for this shit while the real food is getting cold. You couldn’t make that shit before you came. Wtf. We finally sit down and salad immediately gets to me and I just pass it and say no thanks.

    Oh and I did nearly all of the cleanup too. Dessert is about to get served and my Father in Law jumps into action. “Who wants dessert, I’m serving”. The imbalance of effort/appreciation is unreal...he served pies my 7 year old made. Lol...for more stories like this, check me out in the Father in Law thread. I don’t need your likes just your Ts and Ps.

    i periodically check on the status of my brother in laws DWI/possession of a controlled substance case just to see what is going down.

    looked today and on monday he was in court for violating his bond--looks like he failed a drug/alcohol test.

    0% chance he's told anyone.

    to keep my sanity i'm also going to keep my mouth shut

    merry christmas

    Update. Wow this didn’t age well. MIL gave us all Covid for thanksgiving. She had a coworker get sick. Sunday we go over after thanksgiving and no one told us her dad wasn’t feeling good. A few days later they say he had chills and a list of other symptoms. My wife is positive and has been isolating from me and my daughter since. I am sitting my car now after getting a drive through test. Almost certain we both have it even though no serious symptoms.
    I can’t even say how pissed off I am at my in laws.

    that was for my sister in law whose boyfriends shitty family lied to everyone 3 weeks leading up to Thanksgiving. She didn’t have it but she does now. My MIL works in a small office of 4 people. One girl who was a self proclaimed “rebel” to this all started it.

    In a crazy turn of events somehow both my daughter and I had Negative results. This shit is so confusing. My wife tested positive 11 days ago and is about to come out of self isolation. No way I thought we would get through this without all being positive.
