I brought an athletics bag with 2 sized soccer balls, 3 sizes of football and a basketball. At 10am on Friday morning my FIL and his brother decided to turn on Fox News and talk about everyone who needs to be deported. So I rounded up my son and 2 cousins in the room to go to the park to throw the football and kick the soccer ball. That was an hour well spent away from the rest of the family. When we got back football was on.

December 2, 20241 yr Spent Thanksgiving with my mom’s side of the family. She has an absurd number of siblings and they all live near each other in a shithole on the coast. Ultra-conservative, ultra-ultra catholic. All my like-minded people who are anti-Trump and/or agnostic were either at their other family’s or just bailed altogether. So I spent the weekend feeling very lonely. These people make the characters from Hillbilly Elegy look guilded. They all make such poor life decisions that are very difficult to look past. The main house has 2 slushy machines and 3 ice cream dispensers that are always running. My kids had more sugar Th-Sat than they had in the previous month combined. All the kids except mine are walking around like zombies streaming YouTube or video games on their iPhones. There were 3 cups with bleeding-ear Trump pictures (“Fight! Fight! Fight!”) on them at the table where I ate my Thanksgiving dinner. Had to listen to my cousin’s wife yap about how great RFK Jr was gonna be and how dangerous vaccines are while everybody else yepped along like fucking Boomhauer from King of the Hill. There really wasn’t much drama. And I had a good time watching us beat the Aggies with my dad. But all in all I’d be just fine never celebrating Thanksgiving there again.
December 2, 20241 yr What the fuck is wrong with ice cream machines? and if they didn't have booze in the slushy machines, that was a concoction that would render me bored.
December 2, 20241 yr Only a communist could hate home slushy and ice cream machines. Why are you so communist?
December 8, 20241 yr Well, fuck. So much for a "drama-free" holiday season around ol' Thunder's casa. Why in the ever-living fuck would someone send out wedding invitations for a Saturday during football season, let alone during the holidays? Wife's niece (fat fucking bitch, even vic would pass) thought it was a bright idea.

December 22, 20241 yr Popular Post Bi-polar multi millionaire heir is refusing to come out of his room. This is his own prerogative. He’s 36. Holidays stress me out, too. Meal went off without a hitch. Until….. we were sitting down about to have desert and go along our merry ways. Knock on the door _____ville Police. Hmmm. Odd in this neighborhood with mega mansions all over. “We’ve learned that you have keeping a prisoner/slave in your basement. (You guessed it, where the cousin lives). We assure them that’s not the case. The do some investigating and cousin had called during dinner to “get some help” but more than likely to cause a scene. Paramedics wanted to take him in a 5150 hold but we refused. Planning intervention now. Last time he spent a year in NYC at some study. Came back feeling great on his meds. No the meds make him numb and he hates us. Oh well! Not as bad as the MIL throwing my desert in the trash because others liked mine more last year, but it’s always something.
December 22, 20241 yr Christ on a cracker its 1/3 over. Had 50 people over last night. Only one argument. I refuse to rehash past grievances so I after all the younguns retired to the patio with a case of wine I put on some Christmas jazz and chilled. I'm becoming my late father. I'll work like hell and pay good money for a big party but when I'm done I need a quiet room and some topo chicos.It was cold, and I had several propane firepits and heaters going. My main goal was to keep all my cousins kids from setting themselves or each other on fire. Mission accomplished.Made a gumbo from the meat and stock of a 12 lb Greenberg and that is just about the tastiest thing ever.

December 23, 20241 yr Popular Post Had Xmas at my mom's yesterday. Watching the Vikings game, and I cuss at something going wrong and immediately apologize for cussing in front of my 9 year old nephew and 5 year old niece. My brother goes "no big deal. Every time you swear, Nephew is allowed to say that word too." About 10 minutes later Seattle takes the lead and I instinctively go "SHIT". Nephew (at top of his lungs): "SHIIIIIT" Niece (excitedly): "Can I say 'shit' too????" My wife: death dagger gaze

December 23, 20241 yr Not really bitching about family per se, b/c I get along fine with both my family and my in-laws, but more about the amount of time I have to spend being surrounded by people over the next 10 days. I'm not a loner by any means, but I'm definitely a bit of an introvert and I enjoy my personal (quiet) time. I also am a creature of habit. Hitting the road tomorrow to go spend Xmas Eve and Xmas Day doing shit with my side of the family at my folks place. Then Thursday and Friday visiting the wife's family in Louisiana. Get back to Houston on Saturday just in time for my wife's best friend and her new boyfriend (who I've never met) to fly in from Colorado to stay with us until the 2nd. Tonight is more or less my last night of normalcy until next weekend. Edited December 23, 20241 yr by Storm the Field

December 24, 20241 yr My in-laws tore down their perfectly good house earlier this year, so now they’re living in the 1br barndominium while the new house is under construction. MIL still insisted on hosting Christmas. I offered to host 3 different times. No luck. So I get to spend Christmas in a barn and travel trailer. MIL will spend the whole time bitching about how small the kitchen is. I made the mistake of asking if they even had a Christmas tree. Of course the answer was no. Now my wife wants to take our tree with us. That ain’t happening.
