I grew up with a fake tree too. My family didn't get real trees after the incident.
I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

There were fake trees before that. They were really ugly - uglier than a "silver" tree with a rotating colored spotlight on it.

I grew up with a fake tree, and I'm 46. My mother was deathly afraid of fires, so fake tree it was. I didn't get a real tree until I'd moved out of the house.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Congrats, Kate!!
We had a silver x-mas tree when I was a kid--I think the last time we actually used it was in the late '60s. We only used real trees after that.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
When I was little we'd go into the woods and cut our tree and drag it home behind a tractor or a horse. We usually got a red cedar, which I believe is not actually a cedar, but it wasn't a pine.

Okay, you can't just leave it like that, Gudanov. What's The Incident? Tell us a story!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Given my current age-related panic, I should not have read the list.
I know it's irrational. I know.

Because books.
Kids that age won't have John Bobbitt on their radar at all, much less think about him "sleeping with one eye open." That makes no sense.

Teppy, I'm so behind in bitches, but I just wanted to say how sorry I was to hear about The Alchemist.
