I hope everyone had safe and wonderful days for christmas.
I have to say... checked everything off my list.
My brothers showed up on time. So I cooked pancakes, killer potatoes, butcher smoked bacon, eggs and what not. Killer breakfast for everyone. Had a few cups of coffee in my christmas PJ's. Watched my kid go nuts and have an awesome day. Overall a great day.
Then I get home and my dog is jacked up. So I got to pick him up and carry him out and take him to the emergency vet. No idea what is wrong with him or what happened. Just looks like his back went out. Mind you he's not even a year and a half old yet. Was way to familiar to what happened to my last dog.
So conversation with the wife went from what we'd spend the few bucks we got on our christmas bonus' and what not on together for the house to who's was gonna pay for the first vet visit. So one is gone and I'm sure the other will be gone on the next visit. All I know is if this goes down like my last run in I will never have another dog as long as I live. Period. I can't take this ****.
So far he seems like he's improving but he still has a really really hard time standing up and when he walks he's still very unstable. Hopefully the drugs and rest work.
Ug.
Anyone have a bottle of the good stuff to share. I'm about out.

This thread speaks so much truth. How sad is it that my wife and I avoided family get-togethers this year because there are SO many kids we cannot afford to get them all presents? At $20 a pop it would have been like $250 just to attend a dinner with family. Then you add in adults, food, booz, flowers, gas, etc. and suddenly its $500+ to see family you barely know and who could not give a rat's as* about us all year long.
We had such a nice time just hanging out together and being lazy listening to the rain and eating sushi while my kid played Assassin's Creed 3.
Someday, when I am the Patriarch of the family or head old-guy or whatever, the rule will be NO presents and Holiday swag. Bring some food, some beer, and a smile and come enjoy family.
I hate the pressure that TV shows and advertising puts on all of us to hand out laptops and Iphones and diamonds to everyone we share some genes with.
Happy Birthday Jesus and sorry about your dog OneManArmy. I am going through a similar situation. Christmas was reduced to pure stress this year by an accumulated and surprise $20,000 in extra expenses incurred over the last month. We got ****ing blind-sided bigtime...

****ing tragedy.
And yes, I'll take all my problems I *****ed about and 100 more before I'd ever wanna lose my girl. Gosh that is terrible.
Kind of on subject and another reason to hate the presents and holiday:
Last night I watched an early model Ford Explorer roll into our neighborhood. It was garbage night and we always get folsk coming through taking recycling trying to make a living or whatever. I usually let them do their thing if they don't make a mess.
These people were different. They blocked my neighbor's driveway and were meticulously going through all of the garbage, specifically packaging and boxes, all the while rattling on in Spanish.
They went to his garage window and looked in and that is when I bolted down the street to his house. By then, they had moved the SUV a little further up the street.
While I was banging on my friend's door I saw two people run out of an open garage across the street (an old man who lives alone). The car's interior lights were on in the garage. BING! CARTOON LIGHT BULB.
I bolted down the street towards the SUV and they sped out of the neighborhood. I grabbed the old dude and we checked his car with PD. The scumbags stole his registration and that was it.
40 minutes later, another truck pulls straight up to the old guy's house, a woman gets out and starts going through his garbage. I bolt down the street screaming at her to get the F outta here and I'm calling the cops. She takes ALL of his garbage and runs around the corner with it and jumps into the truck and jams.
IDENTITY THEFT all day. They were also looking at the garbage to see what we all got for Christmas so they could rob specific houses.
Be careful guys. Shred your stuff and bag your garbage with lots of dog ****.
Merry Christmas huh?

I'm down off of Lowell, across from Art Freiler School, real close to Thrasher park. We have alot of problems from those apartments down at the end of Lowell; Chesapeke Bay or whatever. Our neighborhood used to be hella chill until they built Thrasher Park and those apartments. Since then, I've made the Police Blotter 3 times chasing ghetto punks outta the trailerhood.
