Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

One kid and his wife are not talking to us. We invited them to Christmas Eve (a fun dinner tradition we started when they were little) and to dinner today. No response. Kinda sad about that but, whatever- it's their choice. He's always viewed family activities as an obligation rather than an opportunity to connect. Their shittiness saves me $800 plus the time and stress of trying to find something they would like.

Other kid came over last night and will be here after while for quiche, then presents, a movie, and then going out to dinner. Going for hibachi as it was the easiest place to get steak and vegan options.

About to ask my honey for another bourbon cream coffee, throw the quiche in the oven, and find something silly to watch.
