SS no worries, it doesnt matter what time of year it is, sometimes we just need to vent...plain and simple!

Hmmm...I have family members that I love but - they make me feel that uncomfortable. My way is to invent a new family tradition that they won't want to attend and then invite them. I know. Not nice of me but then I put the shoe on their foot - they decline to go...say... camping in December? Well at least they can't say I didn't invite them.
I think you are in good company. Many of us have family members that - well let's just say it isn't a perfect fit. Hopefully next year will be better.

Well, they already have picked on my strange accent - 12 years in TX and 1 in TN have made me sound like one strange Yankee :lol: I still say soda and y'all, I can't help myself! I'm usually too mad to notice, but DH says the madder I get, the more southern I sound! At least he gets chewed out by a sweet southern drawl, whats to complain about?! :D

I've lived in SJ all my life, but every so once in awhile, I get asked what part of the south I'm from. I remember once, years ago, I was placing a phone order. And, the person had a really deep south accent. Halfway thru the order, she suddenly asked me what part of the south I was originally from. And there have been people that don't want to believe I'm telling them the truth when I say I've always lived in this area. :idunno

I got what I asked for for Christmas!! DH is in the process of completing it as I type this! :woot

I asked for the openings from the living room to the kitchen and to the hallway to be re-opened up. At some point, somebody closed the openings, making them just doorways :barnie It cut the living room off from everything, and they 'patched in' the area they filled in, so it looked ugly and poorly done :he

The best part is, all it costs is time (which, in DH's world, IS in short supply)! I absolutely love it :love
