Funny how things work. Years back I was bad-mouthing Thanksgiving, based on the history and all that. Now it's one of my favorite holidays. Excuse to get a couple days off, maybe go on a roadtrip, see family and friends, maybe get to do some sightseeing with them. It's like we've taken it and made it our own. And yeah, FOOOOOOOD!!! So what's everyone doing tomorrow? I'm heading out to Arizona to be with Brandon's family. They having a reunion on Black Friday. I kinda would rather we just did one giant Thanksgiving, so the rest of us can run off to Sedona or somewhere instead, but oh well. Anyone else get offended by the idea of Black Friday shopping leaking into Thanksgiving? I hate the idea of keeping workers from their families just so companies can make more money. |

Fuck this month, indeed.
I have my boyfriend's aunt passive-aggressively posting about me on Facebook. She doesn't use my name, but she's doing that whole "Scenario: you're going to see family..." thing and is throwing in a lot of half-truths and outright lies and getting all her friends to pity her and talk shit about me. It's rather interesting since this person is 46 years old. Not sure what to do. Guess she's just not invited to the wedding. Anyway, if you remember the saga with this aunt, she's the same one who went off on me for not being politically correct enough and who also has had her daughter molested by her cop husband (molesting his own daughter) and hasn't reported him. Woo, Thanksgiving! (Last edited by Rogue on 11-28-16 08:52 AM) |

I started out so upbeat, but this Thanksgiving has ended up being a disaster. The "Fuck You" thread has the details.

Every other person at Thanksgiving either had a cough or ended up with the flu over the weekend.
I would say I managed to duck it, but I've been feeling like shit for a while. It just hasn't broached into being full-on sick yet. |

OK, so I jumped the gun by a few days on Facebook because I genuinely thought I missed your birthday. Anyway, happy birthday, pretty lady! Hope today kicks ass. |

Yeah, it's been taking us forever to come back to it.
The first season of "Westworld" is about to end, but now we've got the rest of this season of "Vikings," which came back last night. Now sure what's coming once this is over. I know they're finally going to air "Taboo" in January, which they've been stalling on releasing for a while. |

Since posting that last comment, Brandon's grandmother came out of her bedroom and I apologized to her if I came off offensive or ungrateful over Thanksgiving. Her literal first statement was a sigh and then saying, "[Aunt's name]'s crazy." I hadn't even mentioned her in my apology. As it turns out there was more to the story.
Apparently while Bran and I were wandering around the northern part of Arizona the day before, the aunt was over and just ranting and raving about me. Brandon's mom said it was enough to make her chest really hurt and the two of them stood nose-to-nose yelling at each other. Linda said she eventually just yelled, "Christine is off limits." The bitch also put a strain on Brandon's poor grandmother (whom I adore beyond words) who has four fucking coronary stents. She doesn't need this kind of stress over fucking NOTHING. When no one in the house (which included Brandon's mother, grandmother, and the aunt's father) would agree with her or give her the support she wanted, she went back to her hotel room saying she wouldn't be back the next and was just going to head back to California from the hotel. In the middle of the night she turned to the superficiality of Facebook support, overly embellishing my "sins," and soliciting these people's sympathy, hateful comments toward me, and other ego-boosting bullshit, which she repeatedly fed off in the comments. I was tempted to respond, hell even just to write something benign like, "Sending thoughts and prayers your way," but I decided it was beneath me and just let her have her tantrum. Again, she's 46. Staring down the barrel of 50. Brandon's family is appalled that she put it online. I told them to also leave it and not say anything, though Linda was absolutely FURIOUS. By the way, she never approached me to talk about the things I supposedly did that she found so objectionable. She just blew up at my future in-laws while I was a couple hundred miles away, was allegedly "cursing like a sailor" at them, and then ran back to her hotel and posted lies and half-truths about me. Not sure if she even realizes I could see the fucking post. Essentially she couldn't find someone in person, who was there, to fucking side with her. Not even her father, who's spoiled her rotten. In the end, I pity her and am disgusted by her life choices. I didn't want her at our wedding, anyway, so I'm grateful she decided to make so public a spectacle of herself to warrant the lack of an invitation. As Brandon's grandmother put it, the aunt's a bully and she called her a "Trump," then later said the aunt and her father (he's the grandmother's second husband) are only driven by money. She's so busy telling everyone else how to live their lives and how wrong they always are when she has such a repulsive closet full of skeletons. I'm about ready to send her a mirror for Christmas -- whether to indicate she's so fucking narcissistic or needs to fucking realize some shit about herself would be open to interpretation. |

Oh Christ, yeah, I'm definitely beyond hatred for "Baby It's Cold Outside," most particularly if it's one of the versions where the couple are just singing over each other and not in the conversational sense.
Still, why are there are so fucking many covers? The clients request the stations that play Christmas songs while we're riding in the vans, and several of them sing along with them, most particularly THAT song. Good god, the worst was when I was still going to LBCC and there was this couple attending a history night class with Bran and me and they would appear in the hallway singing it together every night. |

I think I weathered through it all by maintaining my supplements. I've been taking vitamin C and a calcium/vitamin D/zinc tablet consistently while away, and return to using the fish oil and tumeric when I'm at home.
Seriously, though, zinc is your friend when it comes to fighting off and preventing colds. |

Good god, I live in such a miserable room. It's an upstairs room with no ventilation, so it's horrible in the summer. Usually it's the ideal place in the winter, but it's been absolutely freezing at night with the windows leaking in all the cold air. The rooms on the lower floor are actually warmer.
My curtains aren't helping for shit. |

I haven't yet. What kind of plastic?
My room's been really freaking cold today. |

I don't wear socks and tend to wander barefoot whenever I'm at home. So pretty much the only method with which I can come up is to just lay in bed and throw a blanket over 'em.
This one time I was staying at a friend's place up in Northern California, though, I had to dig through my suitcase in the middle of the night and throw on my faire socks (since we'd been at the Renaissance faire that weekend) and then climb back into bed. It was below freezing and her apartment is poorly heated/insulated. That's about the only time I've slept with socks on. What do you absolutely need in your living space, but don't have? |

Fact: I'm currently going through some strange addiction to blowing money at the stationery store. | |||

Originally posted by Rogue Oh Christ, I completely forgot that happened, and yeah, it really strikes me as surreal. Shit, I'm really getting old. |

I haven't been back there in more than a decade.
Like Randy's board. Which amused me to no end when I randomly showed up at his board to see if there were any new outbursts from the old acquaintance, and he'd apparently made me a local mod without telling me. |

When it came to wrestling I was strictly WWF, which changed to WWE, and I don't know what after that. It was all about The Rock, for me, in those last days of the '90s. I had no interest in WCW or ECW.
Frankly it amazes me that Triple H and Big Show are still going. The Undertaker, no surprise. Have you ever had to go over what to do in case there's an active shooter at your school or job site? |

I doubt any of them remember me, which is absolutely fine.

Pretty much anything and everything chocolate.
I really miss these cookies, though. I think they were called "Giggles." I liked them better than Oreos. Who's your favorite director? |
