She ran off with a biker 36 years ago on Christmas eve and is now all alone
in Daytona Beach and on probabation until May of next year.
The biker OD’d on coke 10 years ago as he was facing a prison
term for dealing the shit.
Each Christmas I cry when I hear the song “baby won’t you please come home for Christmas”
She ain’t coming home and if you are reading this baby…you know who you are.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Feliz Navidad, and Happy Whatever-Floats-Your Boat.
Peace to all.

I try. I finally felt like putting up the tree for the first time in three years. I’m still debating the outdoor stuff. I’ll be visiting my daughter and granddaughter for Christmas Eve.

Right in the feels.
Alright, you got me (we?).
Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas!
May all your gatherings be warm and full of cheer.
Now back to your regularly scheduled drinking.
Darn you, Dave, for making an old man cry. That was beautiful.
The best of the holiday season to you and the Soviet, Dave. All the best.
I never decorate for Christmas; I live alone so what’s the point? But I’m going to spend Christmas Eve with my daughter and grandkids. There’s hope for the old Commish yet.
Merry Christmas too all. We all need a little more kindest in our hearts. Love one another a little more. Stop the hating and pray for each other.

Merry Christmas to all of you, Happy Hanukah to those from the seed of Abraham.
Like most things in this world, for those with some treadwear on the tires, this Season has a blend of joy and sadness and melancholy and peace. May the joy and peace help you endure the sad and lonely feelings.
Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah to everyone and their families out there in the land of TAH.

This is a long one, but too many of you lovable, curmudgeons of all ages here at TAH have struck a deep nerve. This is an issue that had existed, yes, thankfully past tense, in several generations of my own family. I thank God, Mary, All the Saints, the Trees, Odin and the Universe that sentence is past tense. I am truly one of the lucky ones that the understandings below came for me and mine before the headstones were engraved. So, in the spirit of Christmas, the only aspect I celebrate any longer, I offer to you deplorable cusses the wisdom I was fortunate to be given. Sometimes, others need to hear this from other than the one from whom they are distanced. I sincerely hope these words help bridge the distances in your lives and you find peace together. ———— There are few, very few, valid reasons for an adult child to permanently cut off contact with a parent. So why does it happen so often? Well, it’s not about forgiveness, not to me. I don’t even like that word. I don’t believe in forgiveness as most describe it, or more correctly stated, act on it. In fact, I’m not sure exactly what real forgiveness is supposed to mean, based on how so many demonstrate what they call forgiveness. We’re told that holding onto things hurts us, and for this reason we should forgive others. When someone tells us they forgave someone else, that they told the other person they are forgiven, we are to believe it is a selfless act. It’s said that when you tell someone else you forgive them for their bad behavior, for hurting you, for not being who you wanted or needed them to be, it is somehow liberating, even virtuous. I call bullshit. Telling someone else you forgive them is all about you. It is virtue signaling. You are saying you’re so much better of a person that despite their bad behavior, you hold no ill will towards them. It is saying that person is so far beneath you, so much less… Read more »

I am going to break into this thread and be way off topic. I have not seen this on this blog and did not see it in the weekend thread. If so, I apologize.
On Friday, the U.S. Army Court of Criminal Appeals upheld the conviction of Major Nidal M. Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter.
(I am using his rank as that is what is on the decision.)
Great. I’ll likely only be about 100 when they finally put him to sleep like a sick dog. Personally, I would like to see him put to death like his beloved religion prescribes: lop off his head with a large sword. Or, better yet, Iranian style, with a crane.
Dull hacksaw lubed with battery acid.
Slow cut around the periphery avoiding any
large blood vessels. Occasional wound irrigation
with alcohol and then salt the wound to slow the bleeding.
Wear a mask to prevent infection.
Remember when the Iranians hang someone, the condemned is slowly strangled to death as the crane lifts them off the ground. I think that is sufficiently cruel, but would likely cause the Supremes to intervene by claiming it is “cruel and unusual,” as banned by the VIIIth amendment. Your solution is fine with me, but would never happen either. I think it would be sweet if the feds sent him to Utah, so we could hang him or shoot him. I would volunteer for the firing squad.
Very nice. Make an old man cry.
I’M NOT OLD! Just cutting onions.
Word.
Damn onion cutting ninjas!
Since you started it Dave…
For those of you how might have an estranged kid / family member… Here’s to hope..

Sorry to hear that Beans.. Kids can break your heart.. We’ll keep ya in our prayers
She was my girlfriend….not my kid.
But thanks for the sympathy.
Gotcha! Sorry for my confusion
Never give up on her and pray for her, you never know what is going to happen in the future. Never, ever ever….
Rock ballad tearjerker
for anyone with a wayward daughter.

You weren’t wrong MD…
Nice. Very nice. Thanks, Dave.

Well now, that brought tears to my eyes. At least partially because I have grandchildren across the continent from me

“I never decorate for Christmas”
Buy a string of battery operated Christmas tree lights and
adorn a tiny tree along a lonely roadside somewhere.
Preferably off in the woods a bit.
You know, Beans, that’s not a bad idea at all.
Thanks for the suggestion! I may just do that.
Thanks Dave, I need that.

Saw Dave’s video yesterday… got real dusty at the house. Very moving.
Merry Christmas to you and the Soviet, Dave
Guess it’s time to change those filters again. Damn all of this fur baby dander in here.
Dave, for our sakes, we do hope that Santy Claws brings you a new robe for Christmas.
Who are you and what have you done with Hardin?
I suspect Russian collusion
The Soviet made me do it…

The bottom line is Hasan’s death penalty was upheld and may proceed.
A small Christmas miracle.
May he “enjoy” the personal attention of Iblis/Shai’tan for all eternity.

Yes it would be, API.

Hi Dave, It’s nice to see you posting.
Be well and your lovely wife and Merry Christmas and all that fancy shit too.
