I started dating my current girlfriend back in July and things are going well. I’ll be going to Thanksgiving lunch with her family and she’ll be coming to Thanksgiving dinner with my family. I don’t really expect any trouble with that, but I have a crazy aunt who says all kinds of stuff. She claims to have illnesses that she couldn’t possibly have based on all of the evidence available to us. She claims to know different famous people. It’s stuff that everyone in our family know’s is false, but no one has put a stop to it. We all just try to ignore it in the vain hope that she’ll realize that none of us buy it. I’m very nervous she’s going to start spilling that BS right in front of my girlfriend, which would be embarrassing. I’ve given my girlfriend advance warning, but still, I would rather not deal with it.

my cat and I will have another disagreement


I feel your pain on that one. My mother gave the cat her Apple watch. The cat loves it. Then I get a lecture for doling out too many cat treats. I can't complain though. If it were not for the cat they would still be bugging me for grandkids despite my being way too old to give them any.

I lucked out and got pneumonia, no Thanksgiving for me this year. It would have been boring anyway. The hosts are strict no-alcohol people. The conspiracy theory (I'm not talking about garden variety conspiracy, I'm talking insane conspiracy theory stuff that would make poli-talk blush) uncle and cousin (the next get rich quick scheme guy) have died in recent years. The Alzheimer's patient screaming at the wall has died. Nothing interesting would have happened. I would now be considered the weird one in that group.


However, on Saturday, there's an "extra" Thanksgiving for the other side of the family. Every single one of them, every single one, has TDS. I will be the lone Trump supporter at that one. Me in a room full of reddit moderators. Alcohol will be served. Can I keep it together?

Grab the nicest bottle of booze there and hang out on the back deck.

That way, anyone who hangs out with you will have joined you voluntarily and they can’t complain about your buzzed political talk/bragging.

Is she an alcoholic.

You are a weak man and your new girlfriend knows it. Your eventual marriage will not turn out well for you.

Redneck neighbors in-law update: they are as advertised. I talked to them after walking the dogs. Bama fans all of them; they vape. My neighbor is done; he is a fancy lawyer type and I could see the misery on his face. My SIL is trash and will like these people.

Also my cousin just mentioned offhand today that his current girlfriend was previously in jail for a year for getting “some bullshite charge” (looked it up, got caught going 70 over the speed limit in a car that her previous boyfriend had stolen, and had a pound of weed in the passenger seat). Man he sure can pick em


You know that pussy is fire though

some of my OOS friends would talk about how boring holidays are because their grandparents are evangelical teetotalers and i had never thought about what those holidays must be like


My grandparents and aunts on my dad’s side were this way. Very southern Baptist and proper. One Christmas we stopped on the way there for family Christmas to get gas, my dad sees a prank rubber dog poop prop in the store and buys it, both his sisters always had these little lap dogs that were so “well trained.”

Well long story short the Christmas gathering was uneventful so my dad quietly drops the rubber dog poo on the carpet and walks off. Comes back few minutes and says “which one of yalls dog shite on the carpet”

Hilarity ensued as each sister blamed the other one’s dog because hers “would never do such a thing” and even the dogs looked at each other with this confused look. Thanks Dad for making a usually unmemorable family Christmas a great and memorable story

For not wanting a family member that she’s never met to say something crazy in front of her?

Nope, not at all. She does it for attention. There are probably some legitimate mental health issues there, unfortunately.

This 4 year boy of theirs is the most spoiled little shitstain of a brat I've ever seen. Because they are liberal Austinites, they are raising this kid in the worst way. He rules the house. There is zero discipline, zero effort to correct this kid when he's misbehaving, and complete protection of him when anyone voices displeasure over what Litte Lord Fauntleroy is doing.


Take a nice sized switch to him and wear a GoPro.


That is an excellent suggestion!
Would immediately vault him into the all-time Top 10 Thanksgiving Day events on the OT.

I sent a text to my sisters in a way to vent. I didn’t even care if they responded. I just needed to let it out. I told them I hoped my ex-wife’s new bf gets ALS disease. When he does, I’ll visit him in the hospital and shite talk him while he breathes through a tube and can’t control his bodily functions. It will be my last goodbye to an old friend.

Anyway, one of my sisters responded in the group text and complained that I only text them when I’m upset about something. She meant to send it to my other sister. She tried to call and do damage control, but I ignored. I ain’t having that shite.

My other sister had invited me up for Thanksgiving, so I told her that they can have fun without me. I’ll be down here with my parents and get some time with my daughter since I’m in town.

It's Thanksgiving Eve and there hasn't been a documented family meltdown yet? LOL
