          It’s easier when they are one ocean away, unfortunately I doubt it will work out for this reason

            My wife and I both have insane families so at least it helps us understand each other

    On Tuesday November 19th, I had a stroke. My goal is to make it to next Christmas.

    I’m traveling internationally to visit my fiancé and spend our first Christmas together. I just want the trip to go smoothly and take full advantage of the 120 PTO hours I’m burning without getting an urgent work call.

    Food. I’m making just enough to get my bills paid, but I’ve been eating ramen and Mac and cheese for around a year. I just want to be able to have food in the fridge/cupboard. It’s getting so fucking tiring to never have basic necessities to work so fucking hard to keep my bank account in the negative. I’m so fucking depressed.

    Now that I’m done venting, I would absolutely love to be able to get some gifts for my brothers and sisters but it just doesn’t look like it’ll be feasible this year.

      Regarding food, is there a food bank nearby? There’s no shame in going to one, they are often trying to get rid of surplus food before it goes bad.

    Money? A job. My cat to be alive again.

    Actual likely items, probably one game from steam that sibling buys me.

    I mean, I would have been just fine with my brother getting me a gift card to a shop I like, but he says that’s boring and how I should ask for something else. The best thing about the gift card to this shop is that it allows him not to worry about getting something I didn’t want, even though I’m not super gift picky.

    So, yeah, the gift card to that place, which sells everything from games (old, new, and related stuff) to anime/manga stuff to even just board games, is usually the only thing I ever can think of since I know I won’t ever be disappointed.

    Two words: Horse. Testicles.

    For every politician or TV pundit that has ever lied or misled the public in the direction of ignorance and hatred, I wish for them to receive a finely wrapped and bowed package containing nothing but horse testicles.

    Don’t let this just be a christmas tradition. For just £2 a month, you too can sponsor a politician to recieve a gift every single week. Think of the difference it would make.
