This thread is designed to allow people to get things off their chest, hopefully without judgment (although I can't guarantee all will respect this).

The idea is that is you have something bothering you, get it out.

I'll start by talking about my Christmas gift: A Keurig
So, for Christmas, we do a secret santa thing. Each of my family members who participate pick a name and get a gist. I have 11 siblings, so this system works well. Anyway, my gift was the coffee machine. While I appreciate the effort of the giver, I am annoyed by the thing. I just don't understand it. The cost of the capsule thingies that it requires is nonsensical. I feel obligated to use it. It takes up too much space on my counter top. I don't see the point. My kids use it. Half the time it rejects the inserts. Sigh.

I'm not betting on trump. He's a fool. You misread that post. I am somewhat liberal, I suppose. More so than conservative.
sunnysky, you are so clever.

As far as venting -

My children and I have been out of school for one week with vacations and now the snow. So, I think I am suffering from a bit of cabin fever.

My health is good lately and I am so blessed for that.

My oldest son is almost 15 and is taking driver's education, so that is a new and exciting experience for us. Its a season of growth for sure. There are times when he believes he is my parent, but that's alright as I was his age once too. It's quite interesting to watch his growth and performance as he learns new things, at different stages. It's also a time for learning of girls and that's fun as well.

My youngest son is 13 1/2 now so there are new and challenges experiences with him too. I am daily intrigued by the conversations we have and the things in which he is learning. It's really sort of a repeat from the things my oldest son questioned over the past 2 years. Which is good. I know what to expect. Of course, there are times where the teenage male attitude comes out. Understandable as well.

I suppose I don't have too much to really vent about in the end. I thought I may, but I am just babbling at this point. I have been very sick and most of my good friends here know that. Some days - not so good even still. God is so amazing, though and He has just brought my children and I through so much over the years and when I consider it all - I just cry. I can really only thank Him.

God bless.
*Sunny

Hubby is a coffee snob. A nice one, but he's very picky on what type of coffee he likes. (He doesn't bust on people who aren't picky about their coffee. He simply won't drink their cheap coffee.) And he likes it with a heaping scoop, not an average scoop, so pod machines are out.

But, when hubby had his heart attack, I (who doesn't like the taste of coffee) was left with 11 opened bags of coffee and four unopened, not counting the two I got him for Christmas. Two weeks into this, I knew he wasn't coming home soon (rehab for a few weeks once he got out of ICU. Ten weeks later and he's not out of ICU.)

So, I decided to donate all the food he likes, but I don't, to our food bank. I called about the coffee, (four cartons of half-an-half, three loaves of bread, two packs of pita bread, and three packs of Swiss cheese.) They took the dairy products and bread, but they couldn't take the coffee, especially opened coffee. So, there are volunteers working the food bank 24/7. Surely, they'd like really good coffee in their break room, right?

Nope. They have a pod machine too. I cannot waste food. My dad grew up during the Great Depression and that food-hoarding gene was past down. I just cannot.

So, one-third of my freezer is full of coffee. Real coffee. Not podded coffee. lol

I broke up with an ex because he put my on a pedestal and worshipped me. Me! You know me. I'm not worship material. lol So, I broke up with him.

I also lived in a different state, but we met where much of my family lives -- in Charlottesville, VA.

Five years later, I orchestrated a family reunion in that town. (My family lives from Mississippi to North Jersey, and Charlottesville is the closest we have to halfway-point, plus, like I said, much of my family lives there.) By then my younger brother was a chef in a quaint restaurant there, so the first night the entire family went there to eat. We took over 3/4ths of the seating.

My ex happened to be having dinner there with his wife, so I stopped at his table and introduced him to my husband. (I had met his wife before, after we broke up, and was happy he found someone to love.)

One of my brothers told us (hubby and me) later that the ex told him my husband was giving him the evil eye, and he was afraid they'd have a fight. Hubby knew of him, but never thought too much about him at all. Neither did I.)

I just think some people like drama, even when there is none, but we all had a good laugh over that one.
