Was at thanksgiving with my in-laws and they are very hateful conservative people. Extended family was there as well. They do the whole hold hands for a prayer thing. My father in law has a nasty cold. I said "no one hold hands with this guy he sounds like he has the hiv. " No one was ammused. I thought it was funny.
She was not hot and I actually believe her that she just wants to talk more about shit that we've already now discussed. I've already started preparing excuses to avoid this future interaction at all costs.
Was trying to think of some of the highlights that she asked: When did you decide to start liking women? Are you worried at all about your children not understanding the normal way to raise a family? Do you think if you adopt that your daughter will probably be a lesbian? Fun convo at Thanksgiving while semi-watching Ole Miss lose to fucking State.
Also worried about a kid being a lesbian to someone who is bi. Really fucking ballsy implying something is wrong with that to a person who identifies with that.
Deciding to like female is also an interesting choice of word. I knew those people still existed but it’s always a little shocking to read it when it happens to someone on this board.
In laws are still in town FIL walks in looking like death. He asks me for a thermometer because it’s 90 and he’s wearing a sweatshirt and shivering. SIL starts making him some tea, while I get him medicine. MIL comes over and asks if he’s not feeling well.
Was not aware until this weekend that there is a Fox anchor whose signoff is "I'm Brian, kill me" I googled it and it's Brian Kilmeade but I feel like he should annunciate his last name better or something unless this is a legitimate cry for help.
Thirty years ago this Thanksgiving, we went out to head to my grandparent's house for dinner. Our next door neighbor's cat was in the engine of my dad's old Chevy Impala to keep warm when my dad started the engine. He interrupted their meal to hand them what remained of their house cat in a grocery bag.
The cat went through the radiator, so the neighbors were more than fair in paying to have it replaced. The neighbor was also my sister's 2nd grade teacher. Small town.
My brother was driving on Christmas Eve during the day to take us to go get booze. On the way home we saw a family showing up to go to a house with presents. When the family opened the door I saw in what felt like slow motion a fluffy white blur come flying out of the house right across the front yard and underneath my brother’s car. Felt both bumps and my brother looks at me and asks if he hit something. I said yes but keep driving. I looked back and saw the faces on the family and they did not look like they were going to have a merry Christmas.
I thought what kinda ass kills an innocent animal and says “keep driving” look at username and thought “oh checks out”.
That cat ran under the car, not out in front of it. I figured if we stopped and went back we’d have a whole ordeal to deal with hysterical people and it’s not like we tried to hit it. My brother never saw it. I was riding shotgun and saw it
Update He’s asleep in my daughters room. MIL had to go back and pick up his CPAP machine. When she gets back someone noticed her car leaning. She had a flat tire and it had been flat for a while. I took it off and saw the big ass screw buried in it. Dropped it off at Costco and now waiting for the fix so I can put the tire back on.
We were supposed to travel to my side this week but got the flu and stayed home. My in laws decided they’d rather be safe and stayed home too (which is understandable). They live 100 miles from us. I haven’t seen my FIL since Easter when he walked in the door and declared “I don’t want to be here. I don’t care about Easter baskets. Nobody cares what I want to do and I don’t care about family shit this weekend.” This explosion was over him coming to our house for Easter instead of going to some military anniversary.
That’s right, old airborne daddy. My favorite is the spandex shit he wears. I’ve thought about what disorder he has so many times. Hope your fam is feeling better.
FIL slept here last night. No one listening to me about taking him somewhere that he can actually get medical attention. MIL came back this am and parked behind me, while she was in the car I asked her to move up and park closer to the door so it’s a shorter walk for FIL and so I’m not blocked in. She backed up and parked diagonally across the driveway so she’s now further from the door and still blocking me in.
In-laws are gone after 6 days. Wife is in shambles. I’m drunk, jamming out own my patio, and thinking maybe this cold dark existence isn’t so bad after all
Not family, but our neighbor just brought over clam linguini and spaghetti beef/pork bolognese leftovers from thanksgiving - which would be awesome, however, she put them in the same pot to bring over so it's borderline inedible.
I want to know more about this turtle. How in the hell does it know to roam through the woods and come back on it's own? Was it born with a dog's nose or something?
I can't claim to intelligently answer other than tortoises are smarter than we assume, he played with the dogs and just would always do his own thing and then come back. He'd come back on his ramp for a treat faster than the dogs.
