We have decided not to buy gifts this year, except he is getting his son something. He is pissed off at his step kids. Neither of us is feeling the spirit.

If I was going to get him something it would probably be and RC plane he has had his eye on. Maybe for Valentine's day.

I got fucked by one of Amazon's vendors, so now I have to re-buy gifts and pay for overnight shipping. Fuck.

Is that what Amazon Prime is? Fascinating - I thought it was a lot less invasive

Jarl left the board last year so we weren't treated to his annual exposition of seasonal affect disorder.
We get double portions this year.

And I'm wondering if I should leave again...or just do what I'm seriously considering and spend the next week and a half loaded.

Well that sucks, and unfortunately Amazon takes no responsibility for its vendors. I try very hard to purchase only from Amazon or where Amazon does the shipping and its Prime eligible. Even that isn't 100% failsafe though.

Or you could go get professional help instead of looking for what you need here, because you are not going to find it here.

I'm not surprised...I knew better than to think everything would go smoothly twice in a row.

Well, I would certainly not like to see everyone here who could use "professional help" leave the board...

It would get damn lonely being the only one here... :nana


Well except for Kristina, but she doesn't post that often... 8-)

Lobotomized? Oh you're afraid they will turn you into a liberal?

I doubt that there is an icepick big enough to put that many holes in your brain.

I have a cousin on happy pills. I honestly think euthanizing him might have been kinder. He sits and stares at the wall for hours. I truly believe that he would starve to death if left to his own devices.
