  1. My youngest two kids are 21 and 22, and over the years since they graduated high school I been divesting myself of holidays. Last year I told them that I wasn’t celebrating Christmas, and that they should spend it with their mom. That left Thanksgiving as the only holiday left for me. Thanksgiving was really my favorite holiday anyway. As long as I can remember, the whole family has gathered up at the ranch for a few days to celebrate Thanksgiving. The family is pretty much split down the middle politically, but for the most part Thanksgiving has remained civil and apolitical. However, that has now ended for me. A few weeks ago my two sisters were at my mom’s house (I’m pretty much responsible now for her care) a they had a pretty disparaging conversation about LGBTQ+ (of course they used different terms) and I pretty much let them have it about what evil people they were. Last week one of them was back over at mom’s house and apologized by telling me she was willing to overlook my son’s faults (he’s gay) because he’s family. I just told her that she should probably leave. So I have now told my brother that I would drop my mom off at the ranch, but that I wouldn’t be staying and someone else will need to make the dressing. I told my kids to plan on pending the holiday with their mom’s family. So I guess it’s just going to be me and the dogs now. I’m not sure what I’m going to cook for us.
  2. I hope the movie reflects that as well as the book does.
  3. I have to take a nap after just reading that
  4. They told Carol that they were working hard to figure out how to turn her, and that it was basically a biological necessity for them to do so, so just ignoring everything is not going to work if she wants to remain human
  5. Back in the day, road trips to Fayetteville were always my favorite. The absolute hate is what made college football great.
  6. Kash always looks like he's wondering "Where the hell am I"
  7. I don't think Elon can actually read. Also, I was pretty sure that I was the only person who had read those.
  8. If Europe ever really gets to the point where they think that the US abandonment of Ukraine is irreversible, then we will see the gloves come off when it comes to European support. Ukraine will get whatever weapons that Europe can provide, and possibly even direct military support.
  9. *didn't
  10. I predict she will be going to Paraguay to visit the cranky man who insulted her.
  11. By the end of the season, UT will be lucky to get the Texas Bowl
  12. Just drive with your turn signal on all the time
  13. Texas Bowl here we come
  14. Yeah, who wouldn't want to read a novel with no punctuation and every word abbreviated so that it has no more than 3 letters in it. Don't forget emojis, a good novel should have plenty of emojis in it.
  15. I'm a Kindle Unlimited subscriber as well. If you read a lot, it is well worth the price, and I have found plenty of enjoyable reading on it. I just finished this self-published book, which I found to be one of the better hard sci-fi novels I've read in quite a while. It's supposed to be part of a series, so I'll be waiting for the sequels. https://www.amazon.com/Receiver-Sci-Fi-First-Contact-Techno-Thriller/dp/B0FDQN7VTS
  16. The was close for a few minutes of the 1st quarter. The game was over when they scored their first TD without breaking a sweat. It was a fucking blowout in the 4th quarter.
  17. He's a UT fan, so Yeah, he does.
  18. I don't think I have it in me, or enough time left, for another UT coaching search and rebuild, especially since we usually fuck them up.
  19. I think that their pitcher learned not to guarantee a win.
  20. He’s been running those ads since the MAGA folks started lining up to primary him. They always end with a phone number you can call to thank him for voting with Trump. I usually call to tell him to pull his head out of Triump’s ass
  21. We suck Georgia’s dick
  22. I’ll watch., and root for, whichever G5 team makes it. Once they get get knocked out the football season is over for me. I’m not watching whatever piece of shit bowl matchup UT is in. It’s time for college baseball.
  23. Some dumbass tried to open my mailbox with his key and broke it off in my lock. I went down to the post office and they had me fill out a form and told me that the lock guy made his rounds on Thursday and I could chose to have him leave the new keys under my doormat or pick them up from the post office. So I guess YMMV with regard to the USPS and locks
  24. I think if I were Carol that I would yell at everyone I see and keep as many of them in a constant state of seizure as possible.
