I'm glad you started this thread, as I didn't want to start one as trivial as my idea. I am going to my parents' house as soon as I log off. My Father is 84 years old, and my Mother is 75. I come from a rather large family, but most everyone has moved away and started their own family. I am the youngest at 37 years old.
Tonight, I will spend with my p's, eating dinner and watching TV. I am going to brief them on the tour I have coming up, where I will be on what date etc, etc. We will be going to church with my Sister and her husband, who live nearby and I never go to church as I am agnostic so that will be interesting...
I am going to sleep at my parents' house and the wake up and go to my Sister's to have dinner and open presents on Christmas day. I am bringing my cat, Luka with me for the 'adventure'. I will be weed free the entire time. At 37 I have nothing to hide from my family, but my parents grew up in the "Reefer Madness" genre and really think that smoking pot makes you into a deranged killer. My siblings know what kind of person I am and what industry I work in, so I am sure they are all aware of my habits, but the parents are a different story.
I'll let you know what I got when I get back tomorrow night.
A wii
A nice jacket
A bad ass BOMBER HAT!!!!

I bought myself a labtop, xbox 360 and some shit for it and I got a new desktop and from my family im not sure what im gonna get yet
I dont realy like christmas, as such, its always been a depressing time of year for me.
So I dont realy get presents, cus I dont let anyone buy for me, if they do its normaly a bit of smoke.
But I do like christmas food like big roast dinners and so forth.......:jointsmile:
So far ive gotten 250$ from my family. I bought 25$ worth of weed, 20 worth of other drugs that i dont want to say cuz i dont want to get banned :D and for some reason i bought a skateboard. So right now i have 175$ left and i should get more tommorrow from the rest of my family. And ill prolly just spend it all on drugs cuz theres nothing that i want at the moment. :stoned:
We said we weren't giving presents this year except to our son, but somehow everyone has brought a bunch of presents anyway, and so we're opening most of them tomorrow. Everyone seems to feel that this year requires presents because we lost my sister to cancer not long ago, but I really don't need or want material things. Possessions don't compensate for a loss.
So far today, I've gotten four things. Two of these were at my aunt's house, where we had a big Christmas get-together with our extended family. I got a set of good binoculars, which I'd been wanting, and some cologne.
My husband woke me up this morning early and made me cry by giving me one of his presents, which was a new wedding ring. Since we've been married, that's been something he does every few Christmases, give me a new, different wedding ring (sometimes a plain band, sometimes something from someplace we've traveled). It's his way of re-affirming our vows, he says, and I wasn't expecting that this year, but he surprised me. It's very beautiful. And just a little while ago when we got home from my aunt's, my in-laws gave me a set of Shun chef knives (Japanese steel knives) that blew me away. My mother-in-law wanted me to have them tonight in case I needed to use them to prepare food for tomorrow, and now I'm just dying to cut something up! I'm about to go practice on some carrots.
:( lucky you... i have one decent knife for everything... the kicker is it's actually a carving knife... but it's a good non-serated, well balanced knife... only a cook can actually appreciate the utensils involved... and only a cook really knows the diffrence it can make.Quote:

Merry Christmas to you, Slipknot, and to Baby Snookums and your little boy, too. Much love to you, my friends. I'm so glad I've gotten to know you this year, and I hope 2007 will be a happy, healthy year for you and for your family, too. I know this year and last weren't easy.
Well I thought I was going to say nothing,,,but I opened a Christmas card from a good customer and found a check for 100$,,,Life is good...
my GF got me a 600CFM fan for my grow cab, its really all i wanted im hard to buy for but i got my sons and her a ton of crap :)
lol............................................... .................................................. ........................................ (yes it deserved that long of a pause ;)) if you had never got anything else right, you certainly got that part right..... last night i was very upset, realizing no ones really going to be thinking of me, or caring for me.. and all that.... but then i realized, i have the only present most could ever dream for, the perfect person to to spend the rest of their life with.... i know we fight alot, but i couldn't think of anyone i'd rather spend the good times, and the fighting with..... so what's my present? that my wife has dealt with all my shit for another year, put up with me, one of the most impossible people to live with, and is still here, by my side.... so even tho i may not seem happy, by my posts (or to you, my attitude) i really am, happy you're still here....Quote:

:D
merry christmas fellow cannabis users:) :jointsmile:
Glad your grandma came through for you. And you're right that having a good wife is a gift. Having a good husband is, too. Try and remember that when you're putting her through unnecessary crap!!! Y'all deserve to have spouses who treat each other--and yourselves--well. I hope you'll work on that "yourself" thing this year, treating yourself with the love and self-respect that you deserve. I think some of the rest of the craziness will calm down when you can get to that point. The rest of your family, particularly you mom, who your realize is not an emotionally or physically healthy person, can go jump in a lake. That's all the more reason to take care of yourself and hang onto sanity in your marriage. It's your anchor. Be nice to that anchor.
By the way, people DO care about you. A lot. I do! I think the world of you, although you worry me on occasion.
As far a liquor stores, you have to plan ahead for those, and, at least in my part of Texas, they're closed all day on Sunday. I'm sure if it weren't Christmas Eve, they'd close early anyway. All the rest of the stores here in the Dallas suburbs shut down at 6 today. I can't even hear any traffic on the big roadways anymore (but here, that may be because of foggy, misty rain).
lol! you basicly said screw my mom and you don't even know "the bitch" (she deserves that name) you know birdgirl, sometimes you feel like the older sis, or the mom i never had.... the way you tell me to look after myself and what not... and how do i worry you anyways? just wondering.... i mean i'm not (anymore) one of those people who threaten suicide everyweek, and i'm not exactly running out involving myself in destructive behaviour....
as for the liquor store thing, now that i think about it, most are closed on sundays >.< i forgot that, and today is sunday AND christmas' eve... bleh... i just wanted to pick me up something for the next coupel of weeks or so... i may be an alcoholic (technically) but my alcohol of choice is beer... matter of fact, i just had my first good experience with liquor a few days ago (one where i didn't end up puking for days) which is why i'm so eager to run out and get more...
as for people caring about me? yeah i know, i know i say no one does, but c'mon, everyone is loved by atleast SOMEONE.. it's just, sometimes those people forget who really cares about them... my wife loves, my brothers (although one is dead i know he loves me still) love me, my son loves me, my grandma loves and even my grandpa loves me (me and him used to have alot fo problems... so that's why i say 'even he') but sometimes, it's just alot more beneficial for everyone if that love isn't covered up, and it's loud and right in your face.... sometimes, people are blind to it (like me) and really need to be shown so... i wouldn't doubt if even a few people here really think highly of me and would really hate (and even feel this place wouldn't be the same) without me... but like i said, sometimes you just need to be shown.....
yesssssssssssss :jointsmile: :jointsmile: :jointsmile:
my sister got me clothes
i guess they were expensive or somthing
and i got her an 8th of my best bud
other than that theres no one i care enough for to get them anything
people can be assholes
espessialy around here
yeah people can be assholes.... but c'mon man! it's a joyous season! (you say 'i guess they were expensive or something like you were disappointed) i don't have that much going for me either... hell if i could write a book of my life, it'd probably make everyone of you cry.... but this is the time to be happy, and uppity, and be thankful for anything and everything.... so cheer up dude :)Quote:

Hey again. I feel the same way, Slipknot, my adopted son/little brother. I wish you were closer than Houston because if you were, y'all'd be sitting here with all of us tomorrow. I mean that very seriously.Quote:

If anyone else is reading this and wondering how I dare say these things, I do because I've been reading--and listening--to Slipknot for a while now. These are not revelations to him. He's known this stuff for a long time.
Why do you worry me? Well, mostly because I know you've been in a lot of pain and because, as you said earlier, you have put yourself and your wife through some rocky experiences as a result. Also, you told me not too long ago that you don't put much stock in therapy/counseling, and that worried me because I think folks who don't take time to offload some of their heaviest emotional traumas, particularly young men, are at much higher danger of perpetuating the traumatic cycle in their own lives, relationships, and future generations. Also, I worry a tad, as I do about others here on the boards, when I hear you speak of being so fond of alcohol. Didn't mean to get so heavy, but I worry about you because I'm one of the many here who think highly of you and care!

Your ps2 friend???
well let me tell you, it feels good to be cared about.... it probably wouldn't seem much to most people here, but it means alot to me, and i thank you for it.. even if you didn't mean it (which let me say i don't doubt for a second, just saying even if you DIDN'T mean it, it'd still mean alot to me....) and anyone that tries to persecute you for what you say about my mom, i'd tell them them, they're going off on the wrong track, and you're very right in what you say! lol.... don't let my laughter fool you, or anyone, the pain still lies underneath, only those who grew up without a mother or father, can really comprehend what wondering years and years (if not forever if they never found their parents or answers) could do to a person.... it makes you wonder why your parents didn't want you or what you did that was so wrong to be excluded from it all, its' very hard, and it makes you grow up a very diffrent person..... as i've said, only someone that's gone through ti could really understand the consequences already set in motion (or in 'dummier terms) what it can really do to a person, emotionally.Quote:

ok, since no one's trying, fine i'll let that slide ;) but only cuz no one's tried yet... i was looking for a more specific more 'sure' answer.... but ok you win lol...Quote:

edit, ok i edited this post so not four in a row, ok skink 'no one tried' by that i meant i posted the 'vid-ya game' quite a few weeks ago and no one even guessed at it... atleast that's what i'm assuming you were asking "What do you mean no one tried???" at
I got new tenni shoes. I got about $200 total in wal mart gift certificates from 3 different people. i got a beard trimmer from my brother and his wife and another one from my mom. Maybe they were trying to tell me something. I still got presents tommorrow with my wife's family also. So far so good for me.
My guess was your ps2 friend on the no one tried question...
ok i'm confused, that flew right over my head, mind explaining that a bit better? lol sorry i'm kinda drunk tongiht :pQuote:
