Everyone is happy and joyous. Its the Holiday Christmas Season.

Not me. I'm stressed as hell like usual. Someone has to pay for all the merriment and so that means me. Somone has to organize the family gathering and that means me. Someone got their wife through a hospital stay, daughter through a broken leg, son laid off, while dealing with fn COVID, house payments, quarantine, and 10,000 other bullshit items that came up this year and still managed to keep the boat floating.

Someone needs a stiff drink but their diabetes and blood sugar is too high so they can't and that's me.

All those other dads and sons that work year round to provide so your family can spend like drunken sailors, plan all the travel and spend all your vacation--I feel ya bros.

Christmas sucks.

Let me raise a sparkling water in cheers to you. It would be something brown and alcoholic but apparently everyone wants your around for a long time so you have to "watch your health" while they feast on your favorites and you get a damn salad and the thinnest slice of pie.

Humbug--At least the cat shares his Turkey with me.

If you feel like you are pushing a rope. Let go of it. If someone else does not pick up the slack. No big deal.
Honestly.... The only person putting the stress on you is the guy in the mirror.
 
My wife and I at times have gone through the same things. It is Christmas: the day we recognize the birth of Jesus our savior! If times are tough you only take care or the basic necessities! You cant kill your self trying to please everyone do to the commercialization of Christmas. Times are hard, our company took a 33% hit in income this year. I had a choice to let people go or cut back on hours, I cut the hours. We made it through the year, they will get smaller bonuses, but they will all have jobs January the 1st. They know I cut my own pay, but sometimes the goal it not to make everyone one happy, but to keep your sanity to fight tomorrow! Sometimes folks appreciate what you do, not what you give them.
Good luck, Merry Christmas!
 
I could fill pages with how down and out I am and I bet by the time I’m done y’all would send me ammunition if you don’t have cash but instead I’ll tell you I just broke a old bravo 250 loose from the ice and pulled the string attached to the choke and tied it off per established starting procedure (slip knot with big loop for gloves manipulation) and after 7 pills remembered the kill switch. Thirty minutes later picking up the back then the front then the back then I’m actually moving. Half inch treads probably won’t haul all the gear I brought “just in case” and defiantly my old akido mil sled piled with logs so I lighten my load, put chainsaw up, grab a hatchet and my spare gloves, a backpack, 550 cord, natural medicine and firestarters, a strap for my savage 17wsm without a harris cause I’d rather have a range finder, or a scope that could actually do either mil or moa.. I send out a message to some patriots, some defeatists, some atf, some Leo, some really smart, really stoopid, really trolls, people to scared to speak their mind, people to foolish or to willing to speak, those willing to listen, find your place to talk to God. People are gonna start disappearing one way or another. If you say God doesn’t answer, I say you haven’t spent enough time genuinely trying to talk to him. I don’t have much but I’m learning how to appreciate what I got more. To know peace is to prepare for war. Are you prepared?

Edit, had to leave the 17wsm. Going even lighter so will have to get closer to any fur.

A couple lines of blow will straighten you right up. :)

Did you hear Santa was arrested in Chicago for soliciting a prostitute?



















The cops claimed it was because he was going around saying Ho Ho Ho!

Wouldnt he be protected by the first Amendment until money changed hands? Asking for a friend.
 
47 years of working up to 3 jobs at a time. Got laid off for 6 months by millionaire bosses that got paid *millions* to shuck my ass out the door like a flaming sack of shit despite the fact that *MY* skills made them rich. My retirement is permanently compromised...theirs? Not at all.

Fuck 2020. I'm hanging on to my rope...got a knot tied in it and clutching with bloody fingernails.

Soon to take my retirement savings and flee like a scared bitch to somewhere else. This ship is fucked. Fuck millionaire Oligarchs. They are so smart? *You* assholes run the Smarty Pants Service Calls and I'll just shuffle off to somewhere else...I'm lucky to be employed, right? So good luck keeping you super duper clients without my expertise and hard work. March of 2021 - my Bosses can do it themselves. LOL!

Christmas? Canceled this year...88 YO Mama is locked down in her Senior Residence and the rest of us can't see her or sit with her. Merry fucking Christmas.

VooDoo

Here’s your fucking
Christmas card

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
The whole damn family was drunk as a louse.

Mom at the whorehouse, dad home from jail
I'd just settled down to a nice piece of tail.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter
I sprang from my sister in law, to see whats the matter...
.........
