GM's thread about nothing (29 Viewers)

God I wish I would be excluded from participating in Christmas.
Pretty sure that the random internet dude who mailed me a thong in 2007 isn't going to be welcome either. So, you're off the hook.
Is he bigger than me?
Just had major heart surgery. Where do we line up now?
Damn. He did?
Yeah. You need to check SLB's depression thread more often. \

:goodposting:Was just thinking the same thing.
 
A splendid sequence over recent weeks for a 21 year old nephew on my wife's side of the family:

(a) He knocked up his girlfriend. (My SIL would like to meet the girl's parents, but they don't speak English ...)

(b) He punched out a guy - serious enough that the guy was taken away in an ambulance. Oh, and this was right in front of the cops, so the nephew got cuffed and hauled away. They let him out the next morning, but he has a court day on 12/27. Merry Christmas!

 
How do you break it to your significant other, with whom you've lived for 9 months, that he is not invited to Christmas morning?
Personally, I'd be fine with not having to go, but I'd be miffed that it wasn't even an option. Seems a little odd.

I feel your pain and then some.
 
this thread has taken an absolute fabulous turn for the lousy.WTFThis is supposed to be the happy, jovial thread, a sanctuary from the mundane and a break from the doldrums.I come in here and what do I get?Frosty and SLB quitting booze. And YSR, and GM for that matter, wtfIllnesses up and down the board.fmlI'm about to quit the ffa forever if this is all I have to look forward to now.
it's too bad I always get you confused with Da Guru

Unpack this a bit please.
You'll need to start from the bottom, but here you are:

I would consider fighting for this, especially if you really care. I had a similar type of situation with my then live-in ladyfriend (well, she hated that term) and now estranged wife and she really resented the fact that I didn't go to bat for her. That, among a handful of other instances, probably played a large role in our current circumstance.Of course, we are talking about a guy here and if it were me, I'd be just as happy to wake up in a drunken haze in an Omaha YMCA.

I'm pretty sure you already started a thread on that, Tim.
:goodposting: My kids asked me at dinner when we were getting a tree. Said his mom got one yesterday. I replied with "Then you don't need one here, right?". That didn't go over too well.Sigh.At least I talked my folks into doing a gift card exchange this year instead of buying everyone gifts.

Some good stuff here.What an awful spot for YSR. I spent the majority of my first marriage locked into a never-ending war between my family and spouse (ex). There were days I wanted to drive myself far far away from all of them, dig a hole and stick my head into it.YSR, I hope this is just an isolated request and not something rooted in a deeper schism. But I'd be pretty upset if my wife's family didn't want me waking up at their house on xmas.
 
Wow. I miss a lot in this thread when I'm trying to assemble the largest entertainment center in captivity for a clueless friend. I'm going to pour myself the mother of all nightcaps.

We need events for the Albino Olympics.

YSR how old are you? The older you are the stranger the request. Also since your female I'll have to remember to add at least 5 years to your answer

I'm 33. It is really strange since we will be traveling together from Jacksonville. It's really, really going to hurt his feelings when I broach the topic. Family is very important to him so this will be huge. His family is very close (smothering at times, but very close) and his parents go out of their way to include me (having Thanksgiving on Friday so that I can have it on Thursday with my family and still be there to celebrate with his family, etc.)I'm just going to sit on it for a few days and hope that there is a change of heart.

I'd email dear dad back and tell him not to worry, that you'll be waking up in his family's house, where both of you are welcome.

Is it a "no unmarried daughter of mine..." kinda thing?
 
from the way it's phrased, it doesn't seem like he's not invited to Christmas morning; he's just not invited to "wake up" in your father's house.

Extra incentive to fill her stocking if you know what I mean.:winkwinknudgenudge:

miffed?
You've never heard this word?
I think he's suggesting it is an understatement.
i would have went 'nettled' there but maybe Pickles is breaking in some new shtick

yes.or email (or better yet, call) back and ask your dad why your boyfriend isn't welcome there? At this age, it's definitely a bit of an FU to you. And regardless- as long as your guy knows how you feel about him, he should be able to get clear of the snub.Or is there some backstory to this... :lmao:

:mellow: "Dad, I don't want to be forced to choose between one or the other, so I'm going somewhere where I don't have to make that decision"
 
Your'e a chick, YSR? Wow, must've forgot. Hey, can you send me that J.J. Grey you were talking about? Remember?
I do remember. I owe you and GM. The reason I haven't sent it, thus far, is because I spend moost of my time on a Mac and I am still a n00b on a lot of things. Once I get the files uploaded, would you prefer CD mailed or link sent?
I guess a CD, I don't know, whatever's easier. I'm Mac too, if that helps. But don't sweat it, I was trying to lighten up your Monday blues a little.
I was listening to Lochloosa (sp?) last night.
Have you listened to the Deerhunter album yet? It's my favorite of the year.
Listened to it on my way to work today. Got through 4 songs and absolutely love it. Can't wait to dig into this some more. :mellow:

that's a pretty weird request for a 33yo daughter with a live-in boyfriend.
