Goodbye and Good Riddance 2016: We know the world didn't end, because, check it out!  

Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering.

Go away, 2016.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

It does get interesting with the two of them in the house. I often call my son CJ or Ceeej (I don't know how to spell it) and the bf Cory. But they have finally accepted the plural - Corys. As in, "Hey Kelly, are the Corys coming with us today?".

Kelly and C are looking at getting their own place in March. As much as I know they need their own place, especially in prep for his daughter to move out here, I'm already mentally going through "this is the last Christmas with everyone at home" and other such "lasts".

I know this is more Natter than Goodbye and Good Riddance. Though I guess in a way it is Goodbye and Good Riddance (ok, not so much the last part).

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

It does get interesting with the two of them in the house.

We have 4 Tims in my extended family (uncle, cousin [son of uncle], other cousin's stepson, and my Tim). I always say I just didn't want to learn a new name, so I picked a guy with a name already in the family.

My stepdad has the same name as my brother, so we pretty quickly fell into the habit of referring to my stepdad by his last name.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's so funny, Suzi! your house is like a 90s flashback Teen Beat!I'll have to take another look at those signatures now.

My great grandfather's mother, first wife, and second wife (my great grandmother) were all named Emma. And there are a bunch of Nikolais on the other side. Otherwise my family tends to unique (at least within the family) names.

Our wings are not tired.

We have 4 Tims in my extended family

In mine it is the Bobs and John. In particular John Miller. My father, my brother, TWO of my brother's sons (different moms), and a grandson.

With the Bobs when I named my son that 2 of our closest friends and my ex-husband all claimed it was in their honor, and I told them of course, when it was in memory of my nephew and his father.

Patter and batter!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

My extended family, including in laws, includes two Ryans and a Bryant. Context has become very important.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

In 2012 the A's had four different guys on their team named Brandon, and the Giants had three Brandons.

It was The Brandon Singularity.

You could've put together and All Brandon team.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I'm with Laura on hearting Kat.

I forgot to say thanks to Bonny and Theresa for the cards. H still goes, "Now, who?"

Y'all don't have any Wolodimr's in your families, do you?
