I have all but given up on my immediate family. My dad's so introverted that he can't talk to people (he's an engineer, so that's not helping), my mom's a nut job, my brother blames all his problems on my dad (because dad didn't really talk to us), my sister is a bit of a hippy who only ever calls when she needs money.
It's such a weird thing... dealing with family
Just doing what I can to stay on this side of the dirt.
Get a small vase, clear glass. spray paint the inside black. Get a fake flower (choose her favorite flower). Get a small block of styrofoam, cut it to match the little vase, spray paint it black. Assemble it so that it all looks like one flower.
When you give her the flower, tell her that you'll love her until this flower wilts (explain that it's a fake flower and will never wilt, thus your love will never end)..........
Boom!!! Let the BJs flow!

my dad (vietnam vet) got good and drunk then challenged me to a fight the Xmas I came home after my Iraq deployment. He wasn't as prepared as he thought he'd be. He told me he though he got hit in the chest with a sledgehammer. It's amazing what a good takedown and then a really hard headbutt to the sternum will do to an old white guy.

So... Last night an old lady started her first fire of the season. A combination of a dead bird and buncha shit in her chimney led to her filling her little house with smoke. 1st engine on scene sees the amount of smoke and freaks. Calmer heads show up and ask the old gal whats going on. (1st crew neglected to do this) She tells them she lit a fire and so on. Turns out nothing more than some light smoke damage and a clogged chimney. (along with slightly toasted and mummified bird) Lesson of the day, sweep your chimneys people. Check them out at least once a year. Best time is late summer/ early fall right before burning season starts.
Second lesson, not eating all day and having a whiskey dinner was not a great idea. Sounded good at the time, but not too happy with it right now.
That's cause you're doin it wrong. The whiskey goes in with the sauce, and THEN you consume it.
Howdy, homies.
