Some unedited non-merry comments after the jump....

Comment

and stuff

So, in August our basement flooded. Like, 10 inches from the basement ceiling/1st level floor joists, everything floating, pretty much everything down there destroyed. Including our Christmas decorations, other than one tote of sentimental tree decorations Mrs. Comes over thought to grab before shit hit the fan completely. So, wanted to get a little in the spirit to say eff you to the flood gremlins and bought a laser light projector to ‘decorate’ the front of the house without having to spend a lot of time or money doing it.

Went out of town for a day, came home and rushed to Christmas Mass, got home and the lights weren’t on. Went to jiggle the cord a little or something, get it working...the whole thing is gone. Some fuckwad stole it right out of the yard.

Merry Christmas, ya fucks.

That sucks. But look at the bright side... at least nothing really bad happened like someone having to go to the hospital or the house burning down or something like that.

yeah, when I read stuff like OP’s account, or see stuff like this which is going on right now near me, all I can think is “there’s a ‘Merry Fucking Christmas’ for ya.”

“house burning down”...honestly, on some levels, it was almost that bad. We had to evacuate in a hurry in the middle of the night, stayed with friends while our house was put back to functioning, lost irreplaceable things, etc.

But, yeah, almost immediately after I posted that, I wanted to come back and backpedal, I was venting for a bit. In this ordeal, we’ve realized who our real friends are, both my wife and I have again confirmed that we wouldn’t want to go thru this effed up world with anyone else...I’d never wish it on anyone, but we were a lot better positioned to deal with it than most people would be. The laser thing was a bit of a kick while down, but it does give me an opportunity to do an advent wreath decoration idea I was thinking of.

And after all, take the laser projector, I’m celebrating the arrival of the savior. (OK, I’m not quite there yet, still eff that guy, but I know I should be there)

In the spirit of Christmas, I hope that person gets a big lump of coal.

And punched in the crotch.

There’s still a lot to be thankful for, though. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

nah, don’t worry about it, venting’s fine. any shit like this sucks, especially during this time of the year.

depressingly, I was helping someone look at a Jeep yesterday, and I saw two stupid collisions within 15 minutes. I got re-routed because a 3-car collision took out a utility pole, dropping the traffic signals onto the ground in the middle of an intersection, and a half mile south some idiot in a PT Cruiser tried to jump into the left turn lane not realizing a Ram pickup was already there. Right in front of a Warren police officer.
