Well... it's rather funny actually..

My father got me a tool set for my car and some other car stuff, and acted like it was some touching father-son moment. "This will help you on those days that you get stuck on the highway.." lol "Alright, Dad."

That's about all I got though, I don't celebrate christmas but family always insists on giving stuff

You are right that it's the trying--the journey, essentially--that counts. And I know you are working at that. I already know you're living a decent life because you're a decent person. As I think back on it, it's really quite amazing how I've seen you mature and grow just in the relatively short 8 or so months I've known you.

I can't tell you how reassuring what you wrote above was--about your feeling and expressing your emotions. You're right that that's what it's about. And it's true that folks who are able to do that aren't the ones who need therapy. The ones who can't feel the feelings are the ones we need to worry more about. Until you cleared that up, however, I wasn't sure you were one of the ones who did.

Knowing you has completely flipped my attitudes about adoption on their head. Have I ever told you that? I know it's a heavy trip to put on a child, and it must be tremendously hard at times to wonder why someone made that decision. I used to look at it through romantic eyes and imagine it only as a gift of life or a generous decision to let a child have a better chance at a more advantageous upbringing, but the truth is it's not always that way. I'm sorry it wasn't that way for you. And I hope sometime you can get the answers that'll help you feel at peace. I have a cousin who was adopted and had a good upbringing as a result, but she wasn't ever truly at peace until she located her birth mother and learned more about herself and her history.

I'm going to sign off shortly and go get stuff ready for tomorrow, then hit the sack. Merry Christmas to everyone here, and to you, Slipknot. Maybe in our next lives we can be related!

Nity Night...

damn you skink!!! just gonna leave me wondering wth like that?!?! you're wrong in so many ways lol

birdgirl - don't let what i've said deter you from adopting a child in the future, or anyone else for that matter should they happen to stumble upon my post..... having ANY parents is better then none... way better.... but you are right... the child will sit there wondering UNTIL they find their own... as for the alcohol? my grandpa is a dysfunctional alcoholic (my grandparents are the ones that raised me, my mom was always around, but never really 'wanted me' but my dad wasn't, just for future info, which actually makes it worse, atleast for me) so i very well know what alcohol can do.... what it can do to an individual, and a family, i try sooooooooooooooo hard not to turn into that, so hard, no one could really believe it, generally i'm a happy drunk, i end up telling my wife i love her a 100x over, and basicly express my love for everyTHING..... of course, it goes off track... but honestly i feel as long as i'm not running out, ruining my small (meaning my wife and my 'child''s [by 'child', i only mean i was raised in a house where i wasn't a birth child, i in ABSOLUTELY NO way feel my son, is not my child, i only put that because i wasn't my grandparents child, and i know my wife shadows my posts] family's life, stealing money to fuel my habbit and such..... that i'm doing better... than he did.. alcohol can be used, but responsibly as with any drug.... some of my ramblings may not make sense if you read through them sober, but if you put an intoxicated 'stupor' on, they'll make perfect sense

i try hard to live a 'right' life, and me and my wife have had many many 'severe' arguments, but honestly i think we can stick it through, if for nothing else, than the kid... but honestly, deep down, i know what relationship has ever succeeded without some type of argument/fighting/disagreements.... bleh, i'm trailed on way to long with this.. son anyways.... what presents did you get <.<

Good knives are good things. These Shun knives are awesome. But they're frighteningly sharp, and I take blood thinners for a heart rhythm disorder. So that's potentially dangerous. I already had a bad run-in three years ago with a mandoline slicer that sent me to the ER for 6 hours,

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.

as soon as i get some pics developed (after christmas is over, of course) i'mma either send ya a few thru e-mail or upload em to show you....this morning i caught him feeding himself with a fork for the first time (even tho he's 2 he's not been wanting to do stuff for himself so this is a biggy ^_^ ) and ran to get the camera. had to put it down tho when he tried to fork his eye.

[slipknotpsycho]

my wife: heh! she said your mom can go jump in a lake! i love her!

[MastaChronic]

my mom told me she ordered that chain and the cross even though i asked her not to cause she knew i wanted it. i got my dread stuff (maintainence kit, beads, etc) and some clothes, pretty good.
i got my mom a 1/4 of dank, shes happy right now

[Cheery Cherry]

I don't usually get anything for Christmas or Birthday so anything makes me happy and excited. This year is the first time in about 7 years I received gifts. Okay...so I received coffee, chocolate and cookies from Starbucks from my sister and Cherry Blossom showergel, lotion, and something else from my step-mother and $50.00 from my dad. So I'm happy .
