Yea, you know what I'm talking about. Cetera getting snowed in multiple times last year, that sort of thing. Well, so far the tally is pretty hefty. The pilot light in the furnace is out. A valve is also busted, and because of that, there's a nice fragrant gas leak in my house. It's delightful because on top of the noxious moods from caustic fumes, we can only use the two space heaters (for the 10-rooms in the house) in moderation, so as not to allow them to be the reason that my home explodes. And to top it off, I'm coming here to whine about it. :|

So what holiday cheer is overflowing from the Avians' stalkings, buiding up in the fireplace, and just waiting for you to light it so you explode too...?

I woke up this morning burning up..... I thought this was winter or something.
Typical Louisiana Christmas.

I'm actually fairly amazed that it took me a few minutes to think of something I could rant about. I'm pretty blessed this Christmas.

Only thing I have to complain about is the instability of my job. I might be out job hunting during the Christmas season.

There is no insulation in Japan.

Merry Chanukah -- other than a paper that didn't get written despite 6 hours of work yesterday, I'm happy.

I know this is the rant thread, but I'm just too happy to let you all go unpunished. :o)

I just got married, I was able to get presents for everyone I wanted to for the first time in years, and I get to marry my new bride two more times before the end of the year. :oP

But, if something goes horribly wrong I'll make sure to come back here and join in your Holiday Cheer thread.

Seriously, that rocks.

What's this about marrying her twice again?

Well, we had a legal ceremony at the courthouse because we had not planned on being married by an actual minister, and then we have a private ceremony that we planned for the 21st of this month.

When we left the courthouse her mom got all sentimental, and decided that she would pay for a wedding after all, great timing eh?, so she changed what was going to be our reception on the 27th into another wedding for family and close friends.

Whoa. That's the most marriedest guy I've ever heard of. Congratulations, Gui!

I hope your brother's doing all right, heard he was down with some carpal tunnel. I hope you guys can both stop by now and then, and visit the city in game when you get a chance!

I can not wait for the day I can say that. If anyone needs to be a millionaire it is be... I love figuring out the perfect gift for the people I know, but all too often it is much more than I can afford and I hate that.

Good for you Gui! I hope things continue to go well for you!

Wow!!

Very, very cool, Gui!

I think the current record is to be legally married 40 times... I'm thinking about trying to break that with my wife. My parents are at 15 or so times..
