So did anyone get a disappointing Christmas present or one that doesn't work?

I got some terrible Rhubarb n Custard ejuice.
But on the plus side I got a bottle of Jack Daniels. That should mute the taste :D

Oh and my neighbour actually bought me mince pies as a present lol. Oh well. It's the thought that counts.

I love Mince Pie! Especially with Jack Daniels:D

I am not optimistic about my gifts. Every year my family gets on my arse to produce a list and if I am lucky I will get one thing that is on it.

And I don't ask for expensive stuff either. But I am hoping for a new charger and a roll of 26 gauge Kanthal:)

Mine and my wifes didn't make shipping in time, Our PG and VG got held up because of weather so we will have to wait till Monday before we can start the DIY. :(. We already had a talk with the son he is getting some small gifts right now but has to wait until Feb. for his main gift it's just to $$$ to get it right now.

The good news is my Infinite Quasar clone will be here tomorrow.

Sleep... sleeping in did not work.
I am still angry about the quarter to 6 wake up the neighbor's trashy mother did... actually I am angry enough I will be complaining to the complex about it.

I did wish a rude self absorbed bitch a merry christmas... I think it pissed her off someone called her out on her bullshit.

Now I'm thinking about Mince Pie...dangit. Yummy!

Naw, my fam basically does the pairing up/one gift each person thing. Saves a lot of hassle.
I took Dad shopping for his cheeses/junk food and such he that wants and I get cash so I can buy things I actually want. ;)

spam's enjoying a real comeback here in the uk. it's almost kinda trendy and considered retro. we live in a mad mad world. just realised, i reckon those sweets are where my parents used to get all our stocking fillers.

i think we call that welsh rarebit (but don't quote me on it)

QUOTES YOU ON IT!! lol.....I prefer rarebit but most times I'm too lazy to acquire the proper cheddar and ale to create it. I use "rip your face off" cheddar and Marston's "Owd Roger".
This evenings version will just be medium sharp cheddar on toast.

@Hobby Kid you will appreciate this! "Attention Americans attempting to use our vernacular: "This beer is the dog's bollocks" and "This beer tastes like the dog's bollocks" are NOT THE SAME SENTIMENT!! Thank you"

I have made my resolution for next year, I urge others to take up the mantle.
Call out the rudeness, the petty, cruel and thoughtless actions of others. not talking about forums but in real life a way to affect some change.
Like this morning when I called that ultra rude loud lady out with a smile and wished her a Merry Christmas, going to kill them with kindness.

@franciscan LOL I grew up with a steady diet or old Dr. who and the young ones. Bloody hell, bugger, twat are the only ones I actually use.

I was asked to make a list. I listed 3 drippers I was interested in and 3 tanks. I got all 3 drippers (hobo, freakshow and little boy) and 1 tank (fogger). Plus I got a 454 and the Atlantis! Very appreciative and a little overwhelmed with all the building I will need to do. I've only tried the Atlantis so far and I am blown away. I never thought pre-built coils could work so well.

I am not talking about being a push over but militant resistance against rudeness, cruelty, petty self absorbed thoughtlessness and lackadaisical mediocrity... but do it kindly with a smile on your face..even when they get nasty and rude just repeat it and go about your business.

To be a beacon of kindness and thoughtfulness in a miasma of selfish disillusionment and cruelty.

Exactly....you take from them what they want the most. To people like that....being angry is only satisfying when people are angry WITH you.

I can do angry well I am just tired of being angry so I am going to be kind instead, I am not going to jump to conclusions like the person is having a bad day etc.
I just figure if screaming yelling and bitching cannot get my point across to affect change a smile and kindness will.. or at least give them pause to reflect themselves.

There is a time and place for righteous anger. But that place rarely exists.

Good point. Righteous indignation is a response to a gross injustice that is seen as such by the majority of people of good will as in Matthew 21:12

Just pointing out instead of anger I am going to react with kindness, thank them of their transgressions politely and smile, but go out of my way to do so.
Doing it to combat the apathy, the cruelty and selfishness that is running roughshod across this world that makes this place darker every time it does.
If I can get one person to stop and think and take it to heart and spread that smile and kindness else where instead of being a douche it will be a success.

With enough Jack Daniels I pretty much like anything.

I hear you but put yourself in a non vapor mindset.. how daunting would it be to get you something.

I understand but flannel sheets just don't thrill me. Cash or gift certificate for the vaping company I get vape Mail which my husband sees everyday would have been nice. Lol. I'm sorry if I'm acting like a bitch

That is why for many years now, I only get cash from the fam. That way, I buy whatever *I* want.

Everyone is happy. :)

I did that for my husband but he didn't think too hard and he does his shopping Christmas Eve. We both hang out at a really local vape lounge/store. He could have went there instead of Kohls. Lol
