Big snow last night. Looks like about 5 inches. Good thing I got a monster snowblower!

I guess it's different when you've grown up used to it, I have to travel 1000 Km if I want to see snow. I got in to downhill skiing when I was younger and loved going to the snow but was always glad I didn't have to live in it.
Ever take one of those animal personality quizzes? Mine's an owl. Pretty fitting.

I wonder if it took into account that individuals within a species can have very different personalities. For instance, different cats I've met have been drastically different.🤔

Happy belated birthday to me! My internet was down for two days starting early Thanksgiving morning, and of course the provider was closed for the holiday. Also the turkey I got made me sick.

Here is a "turkey" song for your birthday,...

I wonder if dogs can see in the dark like cats.

Nocturnal guardians. Your dog is ready to rip into any predator if it gets near. I love dogs in the night. Coyotes, wolves. I was good friends with a dingo. We had a half coyote pup for a minute, until he woke up one morning wild and went up to the mountain to join his father. A couple years ago, my daughter and I took a walk behind a coyote pup and his dam a few times on their nightly circuit.

We had a neighbor a few miles up the road. He had a pet dingo. The dingo didn't like a lot of people, but he'd let me come up to him and sit with him and give him scritches :)
Bahhh! I bought some Xbox 360 games for my dad online, he likes to collect the FIFA games and I found a couple he doesn't have and I was going to give them to him for Christmas 😾 Slightly annoying. I got him a newer Xbox360 console that I had modified so he can install games to the hard disk so being able to read them is kinda very important.
Thanksgiving and my family and I still haven't gotten paid yet?!

What in God's name am I even waiting for anymore?!

Paid?

Please pray for me. I spent half my money on my homeless brother making sure he had Thanksgiving food. And for the past couple days I've had very low blood pressure and great dizziness. My trunk and arms and legs and face are swollen with edema. But I'm gonna go and play actress and smile and give everyone the happiest Thanksgiving I can. My daughter is in such a panic over me. Please pray for her.
Chronic pain gets real old, real fast. That being said... even with the pain I feel a lot better when I'm constantly *doing* things instead of watching stupid nonsense on Youtube. It's getting easier to resist that.

I'm sorry to hear that you are in pain. I hope you get to feeling better.

Sadly, "better" usually doesnt really go along with chronic pain. There's low pain (the default), high pain, and "having trouble moving". Something always hurts at least somewhat.

You do eventually get used to living with it. I'm in the same boat, got hit by a car at age 14, permanent spinal damage.
Mom just called. She resents that I won't help her cook her Thanksgiving dinner and that I won't help decorate her house for Christmas the day after. I resent her shame based parenting, but I decided not to respond with that.

You can break it, but you need to not only DO the required actions (locking her out, ignoring the phone), but also CONTINUE them. But only you can make those actions happen.

And if she tries to escalate or do anything dangerous, get law enforcement involved. Seriously, you need to DO something. Imagine how much better you would feel with her poisonous influence gone. But if you dont take action, she will never, ever stop.

And if other family members get all uppity about it? Lock them out too.
