So.... when/if I see them in person do I acknowledge the weight loss or not?

Yes. You've gotta say sometime to the effect of, wow you guys look great what's your secret. Right?

A couple tabs of the kitties' deworming pills in the festive eggnog will clear that right up.

At his trial, Judge Andries Beyers declared Tsafendas not guilty of murder by reason of insanity. He had been diagnosed as being schizophrenic and it was claimed by police and his defence that he had said that he had a giant tapeworm inside him, which affected his life

I you are looking great, it's been a while since I've seen you comment is always welcome in my opinion (unless they have some terminal illness and that is the cause of the weight loss??)

Or they are cooking Meth

LOL!!! Love how this devolved into a discussion of tapeworms, insanity and meth. I knew I could count on you guys!

Next question: Should I give them my usual Christmas cookies and chex mix?

No, send them over a bottle of tapeworm medicine, a few items for their meth production- cold pills, a few lighters and the like and call it good (that way you got everything covered). Or just some fruit basket or veggie tray.. :rolleyes2

There is that Ask KQ thread, maybe some ideas in it...

Unless they are looking for compliments no, they may have underlying health issues they don’t want to talk about

Can’t get there from here.

What did Glade say to the missing person anyway?

If you can say something to someone, are they really missing?

What’s the deal with junk mail?

I get piles of it daily and goes straight to the trash.

Why aren’t environmentalists all over this?

Remember when straws where a “thing” for a while? That was cute.

Guys, help me out here with your 2 cents. About 2 years ago my mom was over for the holidays, I was outside and she was nanner nanering my daughter who blew up and told her to keep her fucking opinions to herself.

Since then my daughter has apologized a dozen times and my mom continues not to accept her apology as "You don't yell at grandma". Previously, my daughter would be sure not to be here when my mom was (which is udder BS).

Thankfully Covid has kept my mom out of the picture this year so I can hang with my kids. On Christmas day I told my mom she needed to let it go or she was not welcome in my home anymore. She said she will never forgive my daughter yelling at her, so I said, "that is your final decision"? She said yup, so I said adios until you grow up.

Am I fucking up? She is the most adult of us all, so after numerous apologies, I think she should be able to let this go and I will not allow her to bully my family, as that is kind of her M.O.

I always try to let it go...even a bs apology with a straight face cleans it up in seconds, becomes their problem if they're still miffed...not yours... my parents don't apologize for shit. Never in the wrong.

How old was the kid?

Was your Mom being that out of line with the naner nanering?

Did you blow up at the kid when it happened?

Bye Mom.

There is very little I could never let go. And somebody yelling at me once and apologizing for it many times over sure isn't one of them.

She doesn't have to forgive your daughter but she has to be open to the possibility of changing her mind as circumstances evolve. If she's determined to never forgive, that's fine but she can do it on her time.
