as I sit here eating a tuna fish sandwich instead of sushi.

After busting my rear end yesterday cooking for my company and coming home dead tired, you decide to get p!ss drunk and start a fight with me ALL night. I get ZERO sleep. All because your son considers himself "married" to some chick on the internet.

Not even a freaking I'm sorry. No plans to go out or anything.

I paid the tag and insurance on your car last week. I paid for your son's computer. I pay 99% of the bills in this expensive house, yet in your drunken state tell me to leave.

Well, I am going to do just that.

I freaking hope you can support this $2000 a month house on $238 a week.

Happy freaking birthday.

Well Happy Birthday Pariah; sorry today was such a hot mess. Have yourself a do-over tomorrow if you have to go out and get some sushi yourself. Heck, sushi needs no special occasion!

I'm going to go and spend $5000 on a new television.

The money I we were going to get her teeth fixed with.

Go me.

You know, if I had someone like you around--an all-around good guy, who would spend that sort of money on me--I think I'd just stay away from alcohol period...geez. If someone pays for you you should be GRATEFUL.

Where'd you get the $238 figure from, by the way?

Happy Birthday, though. smile

Make sure the TV's at LEAST a 55"...with sound so loud you can see the windows flex if you're playing an action movie.

It makes me wonder what a $5,000 TV looks like/is made out of. Heck, you could really clean up on Black Friday with that kind of money and end up with several TVs!

We drove to my older brother's house for TG. She drove both ways and was quiet as a church mouse.

Funny thing, my older brother invited his assistant over as she had nowhere to go. She is a little younger than me and divorced. I had brought some guns to play with at his ranch. She asked if she could shoot with us. So all of us went shooting and Tabs got to see first hand how easy it would be for me to just up and replace her with someone who would appreciate someone with similar likes.

The assistant was openly interested in my birds and the guns. She made it obvious.

Maybe Tabs got the hint, maybe not.

I got a 65" TV today and will be installing it this week.

Tabs put up the Christmas tree and had it decorated by the time I got home with my TV.

On the upside of things, I managed to get my father's retirement gift from Bell South back from the cnut ex wife. I had XBIL give her a thousand dollars to return it to my older brother and I brought it home with me. It's a Howard Miller chiming mantle clock with three chime settings and it is absolutely beautiful.

It was the last thing he gave me before he died.

I'm glad you got the clock back but it's absolutely messed up you had to pay her to do it. I'll never understand how people can hold things like that that have sentimental value hostage for money. Unbelievable.

Congrats on the frackin' huge TV though, enjoy!

It's a Samsung UN65C8000.

I can hook an adapter to it to my wireless router and stream netflix to it.

It's way too big for my wall and I'm happy.

I would LOVE to play God of War or some other similarly cool game on that thing. WOW. Just, WOW.
