I discovered a few carpenter ants in my abode and immediately waged war against them. I shall prevail and reclaim my territory.
I was gifted a fancy-schmancy whiskey aged in port wine casks. It’s delicious but I’m allergic to something in it. The warmth of the whiskey quickly turned into burning and itching.
That is a sad story.
Any chance it’s corked? I don’t know if that’s the correct term, but is the cork light grey / moldy? I’ve purchased a few bottles that were like that, but I think the flavor was affected in those cases.
Alternatively, any chance you’re in the NY vicinity? 🙂
Is this like moments of bad luck, or unfortunate “gifts”, or things that make you say “oh ahh I could burn this and accelerate climate change”?
Ass on the toilet, face in the tub. I was in the bathroom from around 9pm to 4am.
Oh boy, you’re about to learn a lesson in humility and perseverance.
The clutch in my wife’s car started slipping on Christmas day. We had to limp it home and switch to my car which is an '89 Honda Prelude. My wife doesn’t like my car but at least it gets around for now. First world problem.
Seven years ago on New Year’s Day my little sister unexpectedly passed away, and just a few days ago my stepmom (a mother of little girls 7 and 9) passed.
I would have taken 100 Christmas’s of coal over this. It will be hard to not go into the holidays bracing myself for the next disaster.
Got lucky. But one year my wonderful kitty got very sick and had to be put down on Xmas eve. That coal hurt for months and years. Happily, I’ve worked through it. My two kitties got tuna on Xmas day.
My kitty had to be put down on the 20th and we’d tried so hard with meds to get her better, but it got worse quickly. She was 17 1/2 years old and I’ve been having such a hard time with it, but also feeling bad for being so down right now. I think this will also take me months and years, but your story helped. We’ve definitely been trying to love and pamper our other twerps : )
My heart breaks for your family. Love on the remaining fur-people extra hard and think of all the good times your lost kitty got to have with you.
We usually spend the whole day with my parents, but for the second year in a row it was cut very short by winter weather.
The year before that it was illness, and before that the heart of the COVID pandemic.
I was really bummed because I don’t think my parents have many Christmases left.
Disclaimer: I still enjoyed the time spent on this, but…
I spent 2 hours talking with my highly inebriated and closest friend because she decided to spend Christmas with her family. Her shitty, shitty family who has always been some combination of neglectful and passive aggressive. She’s also very sensitive and it still hurts her after all these years/decades that they treat her this way.
my poor dog’s anal gland burst. he got to go to the vet and is currently sleeping next to me with his inflatable cone. my poor lil guy.
