OT - Thirsty Thursday
Rakastan khavia!!!
I'm a Finn. Finnish people are serious about their coffee and are the largest consumers of coffee in the world, averaging 12 kilos per year. DH and I drink more than our share - 45 or more kilos a year (that's over 100 pounds).
In a family with 5 children, I'm the only one who got the Coffee Gene (all of my siblings are tea drinkers...sigh). I like it black as pitch and STRONG. DH and I brew our coffee separately because I actually brew it too strong for DH (who is German/Italian)!

OT - Thankful Thursday
Granny and her dear sister got me thinking... Time with loved ones is often put off until it's too late and then the "I wish I'd spent more time with..." begins.

How to tell DH "no effing way in hades" in a NICE way?
My family has a summer house in another state. DH and I usually go twice a year (Spring and Fall). This year, we won't be going until Summer because:
1) DH has to work another shift for someone who will be out on surgery,
2) PrincASS graduates from HS (end of CS!!), and,
3) PrincASS is joining the Army at the end of May.
Yesterday, DH tells me that BioHo thinks we should take PigPen with us on vacation. WHAT.THE.F*CK.
Firstly, I 853% RESENT that 'Ho so much as suggesting a brand of potato chips to try, much less taking her kid on OUR vacation.
Good and bad about Christmas
BAD:
* We have to go to SD23's some evening next week because she (her DH and kids) cannot come Christmas day due to the baby's illness.
* The skids get 1 gift bag each. And it's from me. That's sure to chap some skid ass.

Christmas will be....interesting
DH just told me he isn't giving his kids/skids ANYTHING for Christmas. Why not? DH is almost as broke as I am!
So no $$$ gift cards from the ATM, er, Daaaaadddeeeee. They will each get a gift bag of treats from the evil stepmother. Nothing more.

My skids gave to me:
Two pissy sheets

Hello my STalk family. I've missed you terribly. My apologies for the long hiatus and no contact (I'll get to PMs as soon as I can).

OT - my darling furbaby has cancer
My darling boy - the best-est, sweetest, most loving, smartest dog in the whole universe - was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in his left, front leg. My world is on the brink of collapsing.
Mr. P is my forever love and my guardian angel and has literally saved my life twice. The first time was when I was going through severe depression and didn't even want to get out of bed. I HAD to so he could be fed and go outside to do his biz and get some play time. And since I was up, I decided to go ahead and get ready for work and go in.

NO Christmas
DH just told me he doesn't want to have Christmas this year. Oh, he'll buy presents, but he does not want a mass skid invasion, no decorations, no food. Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!
I am SO hoping he doesn't change his mind!! }:)

DH's SD and that GoFundMe biz
Two weeks ago, DH's SD and her husband started a GoFundMe page.
https://www.steptalk.org/node/231902
It was deleted within 24 hours. I don't know if someone gave SD shite over the idiocy or reported it or what, but it's gone.
Anyhoo, here we are, 2 weeks later. And SD and her husband are going away for the weekend!!! Their 2 kids are NOT going. The oldest is staying with the paternal grandparents and the baby is staying with GrandHo and Mr. Pinhead. Free babysitting for the weekend, y'know?
