Glam I'm sorry you have to deal with this.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
My mom and brother have warned my dad. I believe my brother's words to him were, "DO not say get over it or move on unless you want it to rain fire." I've told my wife that if he says something offensive, I'm getting up and leaving the room and we will head home asap.

Go plan and good brother.

I'm glad your mom and brother have your back there, gc.

Yeah, I think my dad is smart enough to not get into it but my brother has devolved into an honest to God internet troll and I am super glad he isn't home for Christmas because I don't think I couldn't scream at him for for being a racist misogynist asshole.

Our wings are not tired.
I feel physically ill with stress about seeing my Trump voting Dad tomorrow. I don't want to.
I'm so sorry. My brother will be here, and at least one other person I know voted for Trump.
"I won't start anything, but I reserve every right to finish it."
Sounds like a sound plan. I expect that my brother won't say anything as he doesn't as a decades old tradition, and I will tell DH in no uncertain terms to not start shit. The other person I don't know that well, but his wife knows well, as does he, where I stand so I am hoping we will discuss the weather and restaurants and stuff we agree on.
I don't want to be in a agree to disagree place when I so adamantly disagree, but I really do prefer the whole eat, drink, and be merry thing.

Jack's bloodwork came back great. Doggie prozac is next up for him. He has been CRASHED out all day today. I think all of our stress over yesterday got to him too.

move out and draw fire
My in-laws were planning to come here for Thanksgiving, but one of them had a heart attack the day after the election, followed by triple-bypass surgery. So they aren't traveling.
Everyone's liberal, but I'm just as happy to not have to re-hash it all again, and not have to try bridge the DC/rural West Coast divide in information.

Yay Jack!
I hope your in-law recovers quickly, Volans.

I hope your in law has a speedy recovery.
I'm at my nice dentist.I'm grinding my teeth and because of braces I have one tooth with shorter roots (or in my case normal sized since I have mutant tweth) and that is causing the sensitivity.
He wants me to get a bite guard for the front and I told him I could afford it and explained about how much I paid out of pocket for my fillings and my glasses and he's trying to find anew affordable solution.
Earlier in was crying from stress and now I'must trying not to cry because I'm not used to dentists offices being so nice.
