Family time around the holidays
someone fucking kill me. I'm stranded in texas with a house full of relatives for the first time in 5 years and I'm realizing I really don't like most of these people.
help help help help help. And they dont know I smoke so I cant even sneak a cigg. I need a xanax. Use this thread to send me things to relax and laugh because I really might strangle a few of these people before I get home on Saturday.

Just go smokeless. It is every bit as gross as a cigarette. Cigars are another story entirely.

I have to work the day after Christmas so I don't get to see my family. Now, this is, however, not a bad thing as they drive me crazy.

Mougar smoked on Saturday night! Of course, he coughed up one his Jagr-sodden lungs, but still. -

Yep, and it tasted just as horrible as the last time I had one. Technically though it was pre-jager, so at that point I was only gin and beer sodden.
Once you've had a Padron 1964 Anniversario, you can never go back to that ground up ply wood they fill cigarettes with.

No smoke, no chewing or spitting, variety of flavors. And best of all, extremely low in the carcinogens that abound in all other tobacco products, and any link to cancer is weak at most. -
Man I dodged a bullet going to Florida for the holiday and aside from the obvious benefits of the weather down there, I'm pretty happy to just be able to relax this holiday.
Go smoke a cigarette!!! How old are you? I never understood adults who are afraid to smoke in front of their relatives. Just let them deal and you'll be happier. -
Poor Carmen...my extreme sympathies. Is there any way for you to secure a nip or two? Added to a nice cup of coffee, nips can make for some enjoyable time with family...time that might be otherwise annoying.

aw we need to take up a collection and send Miss.Carmen a nyc care package haahaa

I agree with konakazi, just be upfront about it. Life is too short to live this way.
You may be suprised at your family's reaction.
When I was younger, I was afraid to show my tattoos to my parents. But when they finally saw one of them by accident, they were ok about it. My mom was curious if I had other ones and then wanted to know the reasons behind the other ones. -
Drink.

I totally agree that you should start knocking them back. That's what I do when I go home.
-
Just don't eat something that you can't tell what the hell it is by appearance , smell , and name.
Just run the other way. Please. -
It took me a while but I finally am ok with lighting up in fronta the folks. I guess I just felt guilty cause they don't like the idea of me smoking. I still try not to in front of my dad cause he really hates it. Sometimes I just do though after we're a few beers deep and are getting into one of our ever fun politcal rants (one of my favorite things about visiting home).

just light up a cigarette and tell them you got addicted during the war. back when you were stuck in the ardennes with only two sets of K rations and 7 packs of Lucky Strike. -
So update! So far-
My grandfather has asked me about 15 times who I am
My sister has simultaneously made fun of me for reading the Kite Runner because it's "trendy" (which I did not know) and for thinking I am "so metropolitan" (which I also did not know.) She has also slammed a door in my face like a 15 year old (she is 22)
My grandmother has told me my crab dip sucks and accused me of being an alcoholic when I bought 4 bottles of wine (to serve 3 people for 4 days over the holidays [little did she know that I really want 3 for myself])
The dog has peed on the bed im sleeping on (sharing with my sister, in fact)
And I got my ass grabbed by some dude in a cowboy hat at the super walmart.
West texas. Ftw. -
Shit, that's a banner holiday!
Aji with Mama when you come home?? -

sweet jesus yes. The thing that sucks is I actually really like hanging out with my mom and stepdad (and actually his father as well) But 7-8 people in a house built for 4 is too many and 4 of those being over the age of 80 is NOT acceptable -

Keep in mind that you probably only see most of these people once a year or so. If they're all in their 80s, how many more times are you really going to see them in total? Seeing it through the prism of this being one of the last few times you'll see these people may help you make the most of it. -
Carnie has the right idea. Start switching out the Metamucil with vodka.

i know/agree. My grandfather and step grandfather are awesome. My gma is a hateful bitch who tries to make everyone life miserable (always has.) Its just tough being in close quarters.
And my sister being snotty is just her being herself also, and shes only in her 20s so I reserve the right to choke her. -
ah, the holidays.... you can always skip out and see a movie.
Howdy, Stranger!
