Well someone is going to have lots of blowing to do, so much blowing.
I'm a huge advocate of cutting out toxic family. I know "society" thinks its strange, but fuck that, life's too short for shitty people, even if they birthed you. My life improved considerably when I cut ties with my mom and her side of the family. No regrets.

just be sure to see the one on the sierra buttes just north of here
It's the fire lookout that shames fire lookouts.
Unless heights and exposure sketch you out. Then you definitely should not check out the one on the sierra buttes just north of here.

Making and holding boundaries with toxic (and in my case) narcissist family members is one of the simple joys of life.
"What part of stay the fuck away from me do you not understand?" lol
Raining here, thinking about working on my taxes but I may go dig on some trails instead.

I don't think I forget where I came from, but then stuff comes up that surprises me. I guy I went from kindergarten through high school with has passed away. The last known pictures of him are rough, but I grew up in the ghetto with ghetto friends. I went to the Navy and my folks moved out of the ghetto, but a lot of the guys I grew up with didn't. It's weird for me to think about still doing ghetto shit at 50.
So many people just keep at life one day at time with no thought to the future...
Shit, I've never had much of a plan, either. But at a very young age (23) I had a powerful lawyer in San Diego trying to bleed me dry, so I needed to figure out how to make more money. So I've been in software for about 30 years...
I did that shit twice!
I really do love my current wife, but she hates it when I introduce her like that.
My second is betting that the third shoots me in the face first, so I have that to look forward to. If she decides we need a gun in the house, I will start to worry.
It was about 6 months with the first, I wasn't going to marry the second, but I knocked her up and she was a single mom the first time, so we did. Then we weren't going to get married and just live in sin, but the insurance is easier and there are tax advantages.
Unlike Joe who's on #5, I won't be doing it again, even if I'm a widower.
just checked the NWS site. It looks like the rain will not start until the very end of my work day. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Espresso and eats consumed so off to work I go.

What he said and bring your Fly Rod. The Yuba between Sierra City and Downiville and up by the Gold Lakes Basin rocks
that would be me until I married a CPA who set my finances straight and has set us up nicely for retirement in 2 years
I went to get my 'do did at lunch and missed the taco truck. I will not miss tomorrow.
I looked at a big plot of land that way a long time ago, then decided I didn't want to be BBQ'd in a wildfire.
/he says while sitting on top of a mountain in CO instead...
That's why I sold my house on the summit ridge of the Santa Cruz Mts. Only one road out and I had already fought 4-5 wildfires in the area, one less that a mile from the house.
Well, getting a 80mm steel rod pulled out of two anchoring bones was a fucking semi-trailer full of fun.
No reach-around, no meds, topical or otherwise.
yeesh.

Did you sniff them, the smell is the best part.
He's married, so probably not. Besides, it's kind of rude and possibly illegal to sniff hospital personnel. But I'm no expert.
did you marry or buy her bolt ons first
Society knows shit. The family is nice to me and I never had one bad experience with that side of the family but I know I have been lucky (since the family really did nothing to limit access the known pedophile had to the rest of us...).
In general I don't have any horrible experiences with my side of the family. Some basic bad parenting that will pop up when talking to shrinks but I'm well adjusted for someone with 2 authistic parents. It's just I don't feel a reason to treat my family as someone special when I have amazing and supportive friends I love and treat as my chosen family.
I'm not sure if you're interested in shit like this but there is a sci-fi book called "A Journey to a small and angry planet" and it has some great examples of societies with alternative social norms and some lizar people there basically have 3 different family units. Family that birthed you. Family that raised you (old and experienced members of society raise kids since they know how not to fuck them up) and your chosen family. That really sounds like a good solution to me. Since I know my family on my grandmas side is fucked up because their parents fucked up (my grandma had my mom at 16... my grandpas noble family disowned him for marrying someone poor... ffs)
@canadmos I can rent you a flat in Poland if you need a better landlord
