I think the book was a really thoughtful gift.

I was invited to a friend’s White Elephant party one year with a really big group. I thought it was for silly gag gifts but after people started opening them, I realized no, people were getting fairly nice stuff, like a small immersion blender, a set of tumblers with a bottle of wine, etc.

The giver was my father, not me, but this is still a great story.

Recycling this from last year: My dad never gave gifts to his kids, relying on Mom to pick something suitable “from both your father and I.” He wasn’t really interested in me or my life until he learned I was into Star Wars, which is literally the only thing we have in common. He got very excited when I came home from…

My stepfather was an abusive brute, who loved to give “gifts” that would be “useful” rather than outright kind. Hence the wheelbarrow he gave me one year for Christmas.

I didn’t try to be insulting, but one year for my sister I bought a recipe book for cooking with beer. My sister is, uh, a lot. In a way I’ve never been able to really describe well. She is kinda a hippie type (not in a rich GOOP type way, like she was born a generation too late to be a never-shower Deadhead), can be…

Possibly also Augustinus Bader or La Prarie. No matter what it is, this claim is just THE worst look for her. 

Unfortunately, La Mer is no match for the evil this woman exudes from every pore; being a dung hill of a human is terrible for the skin.

If you’re going to say your stolen jewelry is worth $45,000, your stolen clothes should probably be “worth” more than $2,000.

... NFL was trying to parlay the waiver into a release of any claims for collusion/retaliation that Kaepernick could make as a result of his ongoing unemployment by the league since settling his first collusion case in February…

This reminds me of a side job I once tried to make into a career writing small programs for businesses. I wrote an VB installer application for a potential client, after a few days they told me it didn’t fit their needs, and gave me my discs back.

Spent Thanksgiving with my bipolar, narcissistic mom & codependent dad. No one died or became further emotionally scarred. This isn’t my plate, but I made this quinoa brussels sprout dried cranberry dish for dinner last night.

I didn’t take pictures of anything because I was busy cooking and also drinking. BUT. I made a walnut-crusted custard tart flavored with orange blossom and manuka honey, w/ fresh whipped cream and blackberries and mint and it was glorious.
