My friend Tal just spent over 4 hours sitting and chatting with me while I wrapped Christmas presents. I don't think I could have gotten it all done without her, but they're all done. Tomorrow, I'm going to make a few bows and finally bake those brownies. So tired now.
Um, hi guys! Happy holidays and everything. Hope all are well.
The thing that really kills me for Daniel is that I have two backward ass, ignorant, racist brothers in law that still use the word nigger in conversation. I've just recently had to remind one to NOT use the word in my presence (well, actually I heard him say it while I was on the phone with my sister but I still pointed that out to him).
These asswipes still have good jobs.
Why the world is this unfair is beyond my ken. Really.
Poor Cashmere, I always see you posting or LJing now, when I wake up at ass o'clock in the morning. Is it Owen, bladder, the esophagus of fire, or just some other pregnancy joy?
I would tell 2005 to kiss my ass, but 2005 is unworthy of my ass. 2005 can go kiss Tom Delay's indicted ass, is what it can kiss.Coffee. On my monitor. But apparently Kristin beat me to it.
And I'm saying that, with some sheepishness, as someone who is suddenly greatful that all that happened to me today was getting my car stolen.
Frank, we just totaled ours (nobody was hurt) in Maine, earlier this month. What took you so long? Have you lost that sockpuppet feeling? Seriously, I'm very sorry about your car.
The first time somebody I knew told me they would fix something by "nigger-rigging" it I thought I would die.I've never heard that (or the name for Brazil nuts) until this conversation. I have heard Gerry-rigging, though (not jury-rigging, Gerry, and the G is soft, for German).

Owen woke up this morning for some reason. Oh, yeah, his father took him shopping yesterday, skipped the nap and he went to bed at 7:30 p.m.--resulting in today's early wake up call.
I was already awake, however. My sister called--my uncle finally passed away.
We're both drinking some chocolate milk right now.

How are your cousin and her baby doing?

It may not solve problems more complex than thirst, but chocolate milk sure helps me remember there's good in the world, when I need reminding.
Thanks, Cindy. He really was in a lot of pain so I'm sure this is a huge relief for him. It's going to be really hard on his wife, kids and grandkids as well as my mom and her sibs but that's the way this thing works. I hate that it's so close to Christmas
How are your cousin and her baby doing?
Very well, thanks. My cousin ended up leaving the hospital after two scant days because they decided not to transfer her to the same hospital as her baby to recover. She couldn't stand being so far from the baby so she just recovered quickly through sheer will. The little girl's name is Peyton. She's gaining weight and no longer on oxygen.

Know what's better than chocolate milk? Chocolate milk kisses.
Daniel, that is horrible. But I think, much like Katie Bee, you are better off not working with jackholes like that. Hopefully a new job will come your way very soon, and be much better!
I hadn't heard any of those nigger phrases, and am pretty appalled.
I hope that everyone has a wonderful Christmas, despite any and all problems, and that the new year brings an improvement in everyone's fortunes!
(Well, everyone on this board, anyway. I don't really wish for an improvement in Bush or Rove or their cronies' fortunes).

Oh, shit Frank. So sorry about that. As you say, nobody died, but it still sucks mightily.
(Bless Kristin'n'Drew. Bless bless bless. I mean, I'm VERY sorry about the awfulness of divorce, but I like it when my peeps get together.)
The first time somebody I knew told me they would fix something by "nigger-rigging" it I thought I would die. I was eighteen and everything...
Huh. Never heard that term either, although I've heard of Jerry- rigging. I understood it wasn't actually a reference to Germans, though: Word Origins indicates that it's from Jury rig, a nautical term from way the hell back.
Mind you, five or six years ago my mother used the phrase "the nigger in the woodpile" out of the blue, and shocked the socks off me and my sister. It wasn't something we'd ever heard her say before, and one look at the aghast expressions on our faces made her replay her words in her mind and then look equally aghast. It was a phrase adults had used when she was young, and not something she'd ever really thought about, and for some reason it just randomly came to mind as an appropriate metaphor for something and she'd said it before she'd even thought about the words. Bless her. She was VERY embarrassed and ashamed. Never heard her use the word before or since.
