I'm not a Grinch and we do decorate a little in and around the house. Big lawn inflatables are not my thing but if that's what you want then I say have at it. Nothing says joy to the birth of Christ more sincerely than a sunglasses wearing Santa in a hot rod sleigh or a globe with cartoon rodents in it.

But a very, very annoying relative decided to send us an inflatable Santa hat wearing poop emoticon lawn decoration. The last refuge of the startlingly unclever. OK. Chuckle for ten seconds but then what? They like to randomly send gratuitous regifts they never forget and ask about constantly. We've already had to set it up for a day and night photo shoot to demonstrate the joy this piece of s**t gives us.

That done I have given it a place of honor in a box at the back of the hall closet, where I will liberally sprinkle catnip and let the boys have at it.

yesterday's trip to see Santa yielded the following wish list
Kate ; Billie Ellish concert tickets (189.00). face time with billie (300.00) backstage pass.
Debbie: Microsoft surfice 3 laptop ($1200)
ian: lego titanic (499.00)
chris : a cool new drone (199.00)
samantha: a real pony .
suffice it to say the kids are not going to get what they want..owie.. my wallet.

an update:

The doctor told Ian he had a grade 2 ankle sprain and would have to take it easy for 4 to 6 weeks before he could skateboard or play baseball again.
Ian's foot is in a wrap with an ankle brace...

No punishment..his injury is punishment enough.

He thought he was being "cool" our boys are so much harder to raise then our girls. We dealt with fights clumsy attempts at dating and a "showoff attitude." I pray to the Goddess and consult with my mother and father daily. But he is still young and his misadventure will remind him of the price of being "cool"
Blessed Be

This week there have been some serious failures of equipment at work, I mean serious, someone could have been seriously injured and in one incident someone could have died if standing in the wrong place and what blows me away is the nonchalant indifferent attitude of the managers and employees in those departments as if these incidents were minor...

This has caused me to look at things in a different light and bring up many questions for myself and for the managers...I personally repaired this equipment because it was outside the experience of the technicians and maintenance men, it has worn me out too, a combination of the work and extra hours involved...

And so nice to finish out the week by having to walk an hour and a half to work this morning at 4 am in 25 degree weather... I don't know what's wrong with my car it would not start this morning no power but the battery is fully charged... I could not take the day to get it fixed right now because I have very important things to do at work today and cannot miss work today so I walked...

Liked the song, though it appropriate but I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry looking at this video. My my my time has passed by. Maybe there's a place you can stop by on your way home for a couple of Powerball tickets.

Whilst at work yesterday I had the car towed in to the repair shop and they replaced the voltage regulator and starter and delivered the car to my work for me...Six hundred dollars later at least I have my car back lol...

along I-4o

I-40 is about 6 miles from my home, going east and west through this region of NC...They were doing road work a couple years ago on I-40 and the detour traffic went straight through my town and the main road I use to go to work...Glad they're done with that mess, never saw so many cars going through our small town lol...

So I'm sitting at the kitchen table blinking and scratching this morning, wondering if I could physically cram myself into the coffee carafe .... when my wife blurts out - in her heavy Queens accent - 'who the hell are these TTSA lunatics?'
'Enough with that tic-tac video !1 how many times do I have to see it?' and 'I can't believe the nonsense they post.'

My wife is not into any of this stuff and politely suffers my interest - she has none of the abyssal depths of detail we have on these topics. I had absolutely no idea she followed the TTSA Facebook group but boy, you want a comment on how the general public perceives all this there you go.

You want to win hearts and minds the explanation better be one you can give to your Grandma
