Not really much more to tell. About two years ago my buddie’s wife went to London wirh two of her aunts. He got on their computer and he WhatsApp was logged in. He saw messages from his brother saying how he missed her, couldn’t wait to see her, kiss her etc. Brother asked for her address in London because he wanted to send a gift (he sent chocolates and flowers). My buddy sat on it a couple of days and then confronted her about it. She admitted something happened. The brother still denies it to this day.
We have not assigned a monitor for that thread. Since I'm a Domer Sympathizer who lives near Clemson I see a short straw in my future.
I will be performing some form of corporal mortification at Jerry world, so I'll be absent from that thread thankfully
There is nothing worse than being stuck in another man's house without control of the thermostat. I'm at my future inlaws as we speak and cannot wait to go home tomorrow.
Again he’s a good person but he put a fucking fire in the fire place and it was 65 degrees outside and he had the heat on fucking 75. I mean holy shit is he trying to convert his house into an Indian sweat lodge?
Brother in law was doing basically same shit yesterday, got so hot he opened windows for it to cool down but kept putting logs on because damnit he wanted his fire
Re: vaccines and family. I haven’t spoken to my brother in about 4 years. my son is a micropreemie and is immunocompromized. his wacko wife refused to get her vaccination updates and when they had their son 2 years ago they didn’t vaccinate him. obviously, cannot be around my son. I offered to pay for her to go talk to an ID doctor of her choosing. nothing. so there was radio silence, drove a giant wedge in our family, and took their butthurt to Durham NC. he is a preacher.
I hate this shit, I now just go outside and leave the door open but of course it’s -4 outside here so not the same, but my grandmothers house had to be at around 77 easy, no idea how it got that hot without a fireplace. It’s so nice when that first wave hits, you can see all the younger people feel the relief, older ones just want to keep the heat in.
Additionally, my brother in law and sister in law are ridiculous. My brother in law has been unemployed for close to a year, my wife’s brother offered him (his sisters husband) a job working part time on a government contract but with the understanding that if he showed up and did what he was supposed to, it would be a segue to a full time higher paying job. Now keep in mind he is currently not working, and he said, “no, It doesn’t pay enough.” His wife is capable of working full time but has a part time job paying $10 an hour so she can be at their daughters school. This is the same 8 year old daughter who is incapable of saying the letter R at 8 and when she says any word with an r it sounds like a W. When my other nieces asked why she talked like that and couldn’t say R’s my sister in law said, “it’s just her accent...” Bitch you live in Arizona, that’s not a fucking accent it’s a fucking speech impediment that you won’t allow the school to address despite having had multiple family members (including my wife and mother in law) talk to her about it so she doesn’t get her ass made fun of by kids at school. The rest of my wife’s family is great but I can’t handle that shit.
That is awful, nothing like this in my family. I am blessed on that fwont, pwaise Jesus. Thank you lowd
Lol, but why is she speaking like this. Did she hear that speech her first 8 years or did they just let it slide when she was being lazy not pronouncing well? Anyway it’s awful
The latter, they let her baby talk/talked to her in baby talk forever and now refuse to acknowledge she has a speech impediment, so here comes years of annoyance to me, and shit talking from middle school kids.
And it will absolutely destroy her self confidence so ultimately she will shut up. I hate people that should not have kids but still do.
Yeah these two shouldn’t have ever pro created, but it’s not their daughters fault that her parents are willfully ignorant.
I know but how hard is it to just get in there and try to help, it’s impossible. Way too sensitive of an issue.
I told my wife if she doesn’t say something again about the speech impediment I’m going to. It’s just not fair to the kid, her cousins were nice about it, kids in school won’t be. It’s such an easy thing to fix at her age, it’s irresponsible not to let a school speech therapist work with her, it’s literally fucking free.
My 8 year old daughter does that and it’s the cutest god damn thing in the world. She is about to start speech therapy and it breaks my heart but I know it’s the right thing to do. Her therapist said we could have started it last year but they wouldn’t have done anything before that
my goofy ass aunt proposed a toast to my dead grandmother only instead of using our drinks she told us to grab one of the stuffed celery sticks she made and toast with that
Correct, my wife works in education and speech therapists say it will normally phase out by second grade, but if it doesn’t it needs speech therapy. Not the cutest thing in the world, makes them sound like a ridiculous baby imo. Speech therapy absolutely the right thing to do, glad you’re a responsible parent.
She’s my youngest child and only daughter, she’s my baby girl and it’s cute to me so fuck off on that But agree on all other points
Actually I have an entry this year instead of just judging, my gm wanted to sing songs this year. With all of us. So before dinner she passed a few sheets with Christmas songs on them and we HAD to sing all together, Nothing bad happened since it’s a steady group for a while and everybody is family and we get along very well but I could not imagine bringing a new gf to this shitshow. Well it could be charming before we start singing. All I got, I like my family
Went to my grandparents for obligatory gift exchange on Christmas Day. Probably 30 adults there, majority of which would rather be anywhere else, and my grandfather never wears pants. So when we arrive, he’s exiting the bathroom (clearly having just taken a shit by evidence of the BASS magazine in his hand) and he’s headed to his recliner to sit in his boxers. So I yell, “PawPaw, put some pants on”. He shoots me this look from across the room, like “stfu...say something else”. Room gets quite. I say some half assed joke to deescalate the situation and he continues to his recliner where he remained pant less for the rest of the day. End of story. Idgaf if you’re not wearing pants but I can’t not chirp you for not wearing said pants. I just can’t. And don’t be a dickhead, put some fucking pants on. We were in and out of there in under two hours so it wasn’t all bad.
He’s an old man in his own house. If he doesn’t want to wear pants, he shouldn’t have to wear pants. You guys knew the deal when you decided to go over there. Let it go.
I have a few stories I could share, you guys just need to remind me later And yes I was often the guy.
My brother, my 8 year old cousin, and I were throwing the football around before family dinner. Cousin maybe weighs 55 pounds soaking wet and my brother is probably 6’2 and looks like he could’ve been an OL in college. Since the cousin isn’t strong enough to throw the ball across the yard he was just “playing defense” and “trying to sack us”. Since my asshole brother has no self awareness and can’t do anything without trying to ruin it, when my cousin runs at him, he hits him with a swim move at full speed and just plants our scrawny little cousin in the ground. Cousin accelerated face first into the ground. Mouth to dirt. His feet were pointing at the sky when his face made contact with the dirt. Looked like he got a DDT from an invisible pro wrestler. I thought for sure at the least I was gonna spend the rest of the night in an ER and at worst might have to bail my brother out in a few days after a manslaughter charge. Thankfully he was so light and flexible he popped right up and kept playing. Merry Christmas, enjoy your CTE.
Sure, but nobody wants to see that shit and he’s a notoriously difficult person for no apparent reason. It’s not a big ask to put pants on for a few hours, one day a year, when you’re hosting a shitload of people. Hell, put some sweatpants on. And we mostly attend for my grandmother out of guilt for her having to put up with my grandfather. I’m getting him pants for Christmas next year.
Once I got a participation trophy and next thing you know I showed up at the bank asking for thousands of dollars because it’s not fair that other people have money and can withdraw thousands for fun and I should be able to do it to! If only a crusader for grit and toughness and no nonsense attitudes would’ve shown up and spiked the trophy out of my hands the embarrassment would’ve been saved. Also family is usually pretty fine outside of my older sisters being extremely sheltered and afraid of everything and me getting anxiety about their kids in turn being scared of everything. Also have a trump supporting brother in law which is sad because generally I like him. I was talking about a work project prob being delayed because we need to work with a government agency which is currently shut down and he’s like “well tell your California congressman to approve the wall!” I just told him that is the stupidest shit I’ve ever heard, we don’t need to spend 5 billion on medieval technology and also trump used approx 6% of the border improvement budget last year so he obviously must really want to secure that border! I didn’t ask him what happened to “AND MEXICO IS GONNA PAY FOR IT!!!1” or remind him that I live approx 130 miles from the border, in a state that shares a border with Mexico, or the fact that there are probably more illegal aliens within a couple square miles of where I live than the entire state of Nebraska. Regardless he didn’t talk to me the rest of the night, hope I’m forgiven before I go over there to watch the fights Saturday.
Got my kids PlayStation VR, and I haven’t had an adult member of my family yet that can play it for more than 20 minutes without getting terrible motion sickness (myself included)
I got so drunk I forgot a shoe at my aunt’s house, I was fucked up so they convinced me to sleep on the couch. But I can’t really do that so I woke up maybe an hour later, found one of my shoe and started the trek home. Which is like 7 minutes at the most on foot with one shoe, but I did not factor In the cold from not wearing the other shoe so I got back and decided to drive home. Meanwhile a few hours ago my gf that doesn’t drink went home and was not really waiting for me but just sleeping It’s like five in the morning and we are not living together yet so she is ready to bail, but she sees my car coming around the corner and almost hitting everything in sight. At the time I was living in a condo, clean place. And on a nice little snow so my every moves were easy to see the next morning, it was a disgrace. I should’ve taken a picture, it was funny but not funny at the same time. You could see the drunken trail right to my parking And that night she bailed, but came back later. Thank god
