What I got....
All I got for Christmas was ....:
.1. A HEADACHE !..dam neighbor left his dog out to BARK BARK BARK all frigging day..(plus all my brothers & sister were here,talking all at once while two TV sets blared!)..
2. Got my ulcer bleeding again,after the two hour maximun time limit our "family" can be cooped up in the same house had expired!.
3. Got myself a new butthole reamed out by my older brother,who was a frigging grouch as soon as we walked outside,and I complained about the neighbors yapping mutt !..
Then he says I was "stupid" to have bought my latest vehicle (85 Burb 4x4 diesel),along with some other things,because I have no income or job prospects,and may have to liquidate everything should my mom pass away (and she could anytime,she's 82 and in poor health)...
..funny thing is,not 20 minutes before this conversation,he was lamenting to me how he missed out on buying a '64 Ford Econoline for 1K he saw on CL,but procrastinated on pursuing quickly enough..and he's been laid off the past 16 months,and has TWO vans like that already,plus 3 other vehicles,ALL on the road!..(he can spend HIS money as he wishes,
but I cant have a 400 dollar 4x4??)..felt like telling him to FO!..
4. Got another ulcer attack Saturday,when my older sister left in tears after her husband called her on her cell and started some crap with her over attending another Christmas "get together" at her daughter,they have not gotten along in 10 years,and I felt bad for my sister being sandwiched in the middle....
5. Despite me requesting NO GIFTS,I get some from everyone anyway--so yesterday I had to go buy at least my mom something,and its not easy picking out something an 82 year old dont already have,or dont NEED!..I'd rather have not spent any cash,but you know how that goes.."but she's your mother"..
..yeah,yeah,but she's a Bi*** the rest of the frigging year to me and everyone else!..
My "haul" consisted of the following:
6 used AC G60 glow plugs and a can of Siloo diesel fuel conditioner from my older brother..
A two DVD set of Three Stooges shorts from 1934-36 from my younger brother..thanks, but I already HAVE every episode on VHS!
A pair of gloves,a "Far Side" book,and an "American Chopper" book and a bag of cookies from my sister..well,I guess I can use them!..but the guilt trip of "getting" without "giving" sucked..so did the squabbling and unwanted "advice" I had to deal with too..
I swear,if I live to see another Christmas,(aka as "emtional blackmail") I'm spending it alone in a tent somewhere!..some families just shouldn't pretend they get along once a year,its a facade that doesn't work,IMO.--and not once was the real reason for the holiday mentioned--JESUS!..
..
I thought i was addicted!
