I gotta agree that it's kind of a shitty situation, but your grandparents won't be around for much longer. If they don't die soon, they're probably only hanging on to their sanity by a thread. It be long until one of them doesn't know who you are and the other develops some kind of paranoia syndrome. Cherish these moments.

Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing.

One of these days I'm going to be waiting in your kitchen when you get home from work with a case of brews and a j.

The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them. |

This might turn out to be a decent visit. My grandpa is insisting on going to look at houses today. I do not plan on living in Alabama forever but owning a couple rental houses is not out of the question. Being the favorite grandson definitely has its pluses, surprise visits when you have plans is not one of them. | |

I'm confused. They're going to buy a house for you, or buy a house for them and die and leave it to you?
My grandpa passed last year and I didn't even get left a paperweight. My cousin got a truck. I never really liked my grandpa. |

Doubt we will agree on what they want and what I want...plus I don't really feel like anyone should purchase me something as expensive as a house so it will probably never happen. Luckily they have always been great to me. Gave me my first vehicle, furniture, and other random stuff. My brother not so much. They sold him his first vehicle at the kbb value which I find hilarious. | |

I have 2 grandmothers at the moment. They are both around 85 or 86. Both still pretty with it. I found out both are racists. Which makes me at least 25% racist. I had no idea.

While I sympathize, I think DH is right on this one: while it's an inconvenience for you and all of your important fucking plans, your grandparents are just trying to spend some time with their grandson before they get too old or die. You have different priorities, but theirs are more important.

I really really really hate it when I take a shit and it feels like it's going to come out sideways or completely rip up my asshole. Then after all that work and effort, it is really nothing but a couple of little milk duds. /rant.

G'd up from the feet up.

My wallet was recently stolen and before I realized it, whoever did it charged almost $400 on one of my credit cards. Less shitty but still annoying as fuck, I also had had around $65 in gift cards and $20 cash. On top of all that, I now have to order all new cards, go to the DMV for a new license, and deal with a bunch of fraud shit. Fuck someone.
