Hat Tip to RS Janes @ Liberaltopia:

Received in an email, author unknown, but good advice for us all.

Achieving Peace & Calm During the Holidays

I am passing this on to you because it definitely worked for me, and we all could probably use more calm in our lives, especially at this hectic time of the year.

Some doctor on television this morning said the way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started. So I looked around my house to see the things I’d started and hadn’t finished and, before leaving the house this morning, I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of shhhardonay, a bodle of Baileys, a half a sicks pak of bear, a butle of vocka, a pockage of Prunglies, tha mainder of bot Valum scriptins, the res the Chesescke an a box chocolets.

    It’s great to work at a family owned business.

    We are all required to report to work on Christmas Eve.

    Here’s the schedule:

    8:00 a.m. Report to work.
    8:30 a.m. Open bar set up in the Conference Room.
    9:00 a.m. Report to the Conference Room for a buffet breakfast.
    9:30 a.m. Official Christmas Party begins.
    10:00 a.m. Christmas Bonuses are handed out to all (yes, even now).
    10:30 a.m. Break time. Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em.
    11:00 a.m. Official toast.
    11:30 a.m. Stagger off into the parking lot where the one lone Mormon who works here and doesn’t drink takes you home.

    Aahhhhhhhh. I love Christmas.

  6. SoCalOilMan, LC Comment by SoCalOilMan, LC UNITED STATES

    Good advise given by that doctor. The only problem I have is that there’s none of that Christmas cheer stuff lying around unfinished.

    This Christmas is going to be very small, just my boy and me, and I (a notorious Scrooge) have, oddly, been in a Christmas mood much earlier than normal. :em02: He’s broke and so am I, so we can just reflect on the actual meaning of the day without worrying about the commercial side of it.

    Merry Christmas to all the denizens of the Empire!

    When I got this job (through a temporary agency) I knew nothing about the family (they farm about 10,000 acres of grapes and other produce in California). Everybody ooohed and aahhed like I won a job in the Pentagon.

    And now I know why.

    I got a Christmas card from the owner of my company. The way he’s screaming poverty at $38/bbl. (a dream price 5 years ago) just rubs me wrong. Production is way down, but due to LONG term neglect/Alzheimer’s.

    There is no consistent, rational recovery plan that even an idiot Operator like me would try…every day, a new plan that will be forgotten and replaced tomorrow. :em98:

    No bonuses, no gift card, and vacations are curtailed…for the good of the company. :em38: Merry Christmas.

    Oh, and ignore the payment on his Lexus is $800/month. It’s like the great long term deal he got to guarantee a payment of $3/mcf of gas while it’s going for $7 now.

  18. LC AnnieMcPhee Comment by LC AnnieMcPhee

    My husband got a nice Christmas boot up the ass too, SoCal. Company screwed up so our insurance got canceled, and I had to pay for one of my prescriptions - had to wait on the rest because they cost too much and we had just had to work out arrangements with all our utility companies in addition to a couple other FUs that came this week. So his company kept telling him it was fixed and the pharmacy kept telling us it wasn’t, and he asked his office to reimburse us the money we’d put out so we could at least get the other prescriptions. No dice. His boss came out screaming at him to leave his keys and get the fuck out. He didn’t, just explained what was going on, and it turned out the guy was obviously completely wrong and out of line - but bottom line - no bonus, no raise this year, insurance went up (so less net pay) and we’re being dicked around on insurance we’re paying more for. He hadn’t eaten because he knew there was a buffet there but was too upset to eat it after that. Ho ho ho.

    But this is why there are booze, pills and dvd players. IMAO

    Been there, doing that.

    I had to pay for one of my prescriptions - had to wait on the rest because they cost too much

    My wife needed an antibiotic and the damn doctor prescribed some new drug (kickback?) that cost over $300 for 2 weeks, and of course he wasn’t “available” to get it shifted to a generic for two days. We didn’t have $300 to fork out, so she went without for three days. Turns out we got something (the same thing?) that cost $120…and she’s still alive.

    Are we suppose to be talking about relieving stress over the holiday?

    Oh wait there’s another post:

    I need a grammar hun here, Without a comma, I don’t know if jaybear got soaked or not, or it’s just he and the boys getting to pee outside (a manly bonding thing, particularly if you’ve got snow to whizz in). One’s funny, the other is funnier.

    Pretty much in the same boat here. M retired the 8th of November. We moved on the 15th. His last regular paycheck was on the 17th. His retirement check was supposed to be in our account on the 1st of December. Nope. No money. None. We had to sell his motorcycle to have enough to get through the month to pay bills, buy groceries, and Christmas gifts. Dell is calling every day….and they are just going to have to bitch to the voice mail. We’re still waiting for a retirement check, plus the money they owe him for unused sick leave and vacation. Plus we’re waiting for those desk jockeys to get off their ass and get his TSP released so we can close on this damn house. We were just informed by our Realtor that if we close before the 31st we can claim our homestead exemption for the house for 2009…..if not…well we don’t get it until 2010 and have to pay full property taxes for 2009. Lovely.

    Ah well. We’re all fine. In one piece. We have a nice house to keep warm in. Family all around, and we will make it through.

    das the one SoCal, actually it wasn’t the flex pipe/hose that broke, it was the plastic attachment from it to the terlet that got old and broke…..

    no big deal though, I’ll replace it tomorrow weather permitting. me and the boys have already gone outside and written our names in the snow….experimenting with different fonts and such. But I’ll tell you, my writings kinda sloppy, I think I need to work on my pen(is)manship.

    And you can’t run to Lowes or Home Despot and pick another one up? I probably have six of them around here somewhere.

    Last week the washer in the garage froze up and I turned off the hose bibs, and removed the hoses and the washer. About two AM I woke up to hear what I thought was someone taking an extra long shower — which is unusual around here at that time of the morning — and the first thing I thought of was that maybe one of the outside faucets had burst.

    Nope, it was the damn valves on the washer. They apparently were broken, so when I thought I had shut them off, I hadn’t. When the pipes started thawing (because of the space heater I had on there) the water just started jetting out all over the cars in the garage. I tried to shut the water off, but the rocket scientist who plumbed the washer in didn’t provide a shut-off at the main. So, in my skivies, I had to try to wrestle two brand new hoses on the hose bibs while the almost freezing water was jetting out all over me.

    (in case that EVER happens to you, the hint is to try and wrestle the hose on the bib first, THEN crimp the hose. But try doing that with TWO hoses, because BOTH the hot and cold are running away)

    I have extra bibs here as well, but I certainly wasn’t going to tackle that job at 2AM in my skivies.

    The point is, I try to keep extra crap like that right here because it has always been my experience that the only time I will need it is when the store is closed — usually on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years.

    A tad OT here … okay, okay, way the hell off topic here, but have any of you wondered about the tradition of putting an angel on the top of the Christmas tree?
    Well, it happened like this:

    One Christmas a long time ago, Santa sent his littlest angel out to get a tree for Christmas. While the angel was gone, Mrs. Claus started ragging on Santa about the noise and messes the elves created and didn’t Santa love her anymore, three of the reindeer came down with the drizzling sh*ts, and Santa got a letter from the IRS inquiring into the source of his funds for all the toys he gives away free and also demanding proof of payment of social security taxes on all his elves for the last 200 years. Santa was in a really bad mood when the little angel got back. Unfortunately, the angel knew nothing of Santa’s problems, so when he got back, he asked Santa where he wanted the angel to put the tree. And, Santa’s reply is why the little angel is put on the top of the Christmas tree.

    OK, here’s my little tale of Holidaze….

    Y’all remember the Doghouse Commercial Video DJ posted a little while back??? The one where The Man bought The Woman a sensible gift instead of some overpriced bauble and winds up with his sack in a wringer???

    Well, I showed that video to The Ol’ Lady and she sez, “Well, at least now you know what NOT to get.”

    Today, I swing by The Office to get her Sam’s card in case I need to get in there to finish her Christmas shopping, and she sez, “Honey, all I want is the Paula Deen pots and pans cook set and a Vacuum Cleaner, and you can get them both at Wally World.”

    Wha, wha, wha, whutchoo talkin ’bout, Willis?!?! sez I, “What about all that “I still got four fingers that don’t have rings on ‘em” stuff you’ve been hinting about for the last few weeks???”

    No, all I want is the pans and the vacuum, she sez…

    OK, and bumfuzzled, off to the store I go to fetch her sensible gift requests.

    Paula Deen Pans, CHECK.

    Vacuum cleaner with pet hair attachment (that she didn’t ask for), CHECK.

    Couple of jugs of Rain-X washer fluid for the rigs, a nice little pocket knife for me and box of 12 ga. 2 3/4″ #4 shot Zombie repellents for the new Mossy 500A (.45 ACP seems to be pretty popular this season, I wonder why??) and a quick, crowd beating check out at the sporting goods counter later, I’m headed for the door….

    …until I get around the Bauble counter. I sez to myself, “Dammit, Self, after she got you a new shotty and asked for actual sensible gifts, ya gotta get her some kind of pretty….”

    So, 3/4 CT. of diamond ring later, I’m out the door, back at the house, vacuum and pots in boxes in the floor (”You can get them out and put ‘em away/together later”), The Ol’ Lady on the phone with her friends all agreeing on what a Great Guy I am for getting her the ring….

    Not original, but somewhat amusing…

    To All My Democrat Friends:

    Please accept with no obligation, implied or explicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2009, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere . Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee.

    To My Republican Friends:

    Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

    I’m probably going to hades for this post.

    Surely by now you have much better reasons…

    I remember a commercial where Hell had frozen over and the Devil was sticking his tongue out towards a frozen flagpole, any one else remember that one? I can’t even remember what the commercial was for.

    I told Tim that this year, and he insisted on getting me something, so finally I told him to just get me some computer games (yes, you read that right, computer games, and I’m not talking about the solitaire and minesweeper variety). I got him Ask a Ninja Handbook.

    Well, apparently Santa got a note from my lovely Missus to pack some fine cuban and dominican cigars for this old zoomie (believe or not, I have never smoked a cigarette in my life ‘cept once, I was 13, quick puff, choked, turned green, got dumped on by mom, dad, uncles and aunts over that one, learned well…) I also expect a bottle of fine fwench cognac (the 50 years old stuff mind you, yeah, I’m spoiled) to enjoy said cigars with. In turn, I got said Lovely Missus some natural pearls mounted on a 14k gold necklace with matching earings, another necklace made of silver bearing a variety of gems with matching earings, and a book. Why TWO necklaces you ask? Well, last week I took the aforementionned lovely Missus shopping for some new clothes (a girl needs to wear something nice for the holidays you know, direct quote here) and the above necklaces will compliment her outfits to perfection. She also got a pair of magnificient leather boots (those she needed), and a gorgeous shawl that will accent her lovely boso…. euh, never mind that.

    There is a splendid array of Merlots, Pinot Noirs, Burgundys, Sauvignon Blanc and Rieslings in the wine rack, cases of ales and beer in the storage room, a real tasty-looking ham with all the trimmings for this evening’s meal with our daughter (my two sons live far away, they can’t be around for the holidays “sniff”).

    We work pretty hard for our money, and the landlord, grocery store, gas stations, hydro, insurance, credit card, phone and cell phone companies seem to do well off our money, so why not us!?!?

    Yes, I love to spoil my Lovely Missus and yes, I am one lucky s.o.b!!!

    Again, Happy Holidays to each and everyone of you from Canada!

  60. LC Hardclimber54-Imperial Chief Pilot and Aviator Comment by LC Hardclimber54-Imperial Chief Pilot and Aviator

    And how do I know I am getting cigars you ask? I mentionned a couple of days ago that I was out of the good cigars and should re-order some. My Lovely Missus, without coming right out and saying it, hinted that Santa might be aware of my cigarless situation….

    One can only hope!

    Hardclimber . You’re making us look bad…. adn getting the hopes of “average” wimmens up everywhere. Weren’t you the guy that gave his lady a Mustang for her Birthday? You gotta stop this shit. Us mere earthbound mortals.. cannot keep up. Besides she’ll end up thinking she has the proverbial “golden Pu….” Uh you know what Im saying…. I also feel bad for any of your daughters suitors…. unless she marries wealthy….. she could end up being mighty disappointed….

  63. LC Hardclimber54-Imperial Chief Pilot and Aviator Comment by LC Hardclimber54-Imperial Chief Pilot and Aviator

    Oh, you remember the Mustang… It is stored due to global warming… Anyway, it is just that I am a generous kind of guy (besides, if I want to keep getting some…)

    My daughter’s suitors get quickly weeded out, but not because of gifts or presents, she is a smart girl with a promising future, and Dad wants the best for her… So any warm body without gainful employment, manners or even a hint of usefulness gets cut out.

    And NO, I am NOT a snob!!!

    RR, as fun as it would be, I am afraid to contaminate myself by going over to Kays cesspool of a “blog”. Isn’t democracy wonderful, when a creature like that gets to vote on what happens to me, you, and our lives? Those who are productive, and bright, and independent get sacrificed at the altar of malignant mediocrity like that creature.

  73. LC AnnieMcPhee Comment by LC AnnieMcPhee

    She’s just a certifiable loon is all - I’ve seen more dangerous types, but she’s at least more fun. The kind of person who you imagine as always sweating, shaking, and shrieking out her posts, things like “You people are so hateful! Now go rape your daughters and set your puppy dogs on fire! You’re so mean, I hope you die the most painful death of a thousand fiery suns!” without a shred of irony. There’s really just nothing up there. I wasn’t kidding, though - if Santa brought me a political poster I’d kick him right in the nads. If a shitty Obama poster makes her happy…well at least she’s a cheap date, right? Nice bit about the urinal cake, Redneck lol.

    Here’s the most hateful bitch’s ending (hah!) screed against Bush - but don’t count it the end, since they have many more years of Bush-bashing to go! Still, this is pretty representative of the sentiment on the hard left of what we have to look forward to…don’t forget this in the coming 4 - 8 years. DON’T.

    They can’t help themselves. Assfucks.

  78. Radical Redneck Comment by Radical Redneck UNITED STATES

    Some might remember when I guaranteed Kayinsane and all the demented batshit insane leftists would blame Bush for the Christmas massacre. Anyone doubt me?

    Well, lo and behold look what seeped out of the sewer today:

    How does one go from a sane electrical engineer to a suicidal maniac? you fire the man from his well paying job in an already unstable economy based on credit! Yep. Very simple.

    For the past eight years under George Bush where he was promising Americans that they will live in high prosperity and will be an owner in an ownership society….we’re now seeing the reality of how fragile our society has actually been over these years!

    So, it takes me great pleasure (this lunatic is actually happy about 9 people slaughtered :em58: …RR) to introduce to you the Santa suit wearing sane electrical engineer turned suicidal maniac, Bruce Pardo…

    Mass suicides to the Bush Regime means they’ve succeeded in the first step to the New World Order!

    if it wasn’t for his SHADOW ECONOMY that he legalized when his neocons in the US House & Senate controlled all three branches of government from 2002-2006, we might have some stability in our economy right now instead of it being based on zero and built on top of soggy cards!

    Yeah, yeah, you can put on a Santa suit or maybe an Easter Bunny suit or maybe go out in real style by wearing a Superman suit….because just know….you’ll be entertaining the Pigs at the top who have already bilked ya out of the REAL money!

    As Limbaugh is fond of saying - “I know these freaks like every square inch of my glorious naked body” Not a skill for which I’m either proud or grateful.

  79. LC Intellectual Conservative, Imperial Subversive Comment by LC Intellectual Conservative, Imperial Subversive UNITED STATES

    Un freakin’ real.

    Can you imagine the levels of their hate filled derangement when Obama tanks?

    Man, someone please fetch me a loaded bazooka …… :em96:

    I can sympathize with Bush on BDS. I have a couple of trolls over on another blog who basically blame me (because I own a business and dared to shitcan 2 Obama supporters, among other things) for everything under the sun. I then sarcastically announced that on June 6, 2009 (my company’s 5 year anniversary) I will be holding an”Intellectual Conservative is illegal, immoral, warmongering, fattening, and causes global warming rally” .. I told them ‘you bring your protest signs, my people will bring the rotten eggs and the fire extinguishers’ .. they were a bit less than amused .. :em95:

    How does one go from a sane electrical engineer to a suicidal maniac? you fire the man from his well paying job in an already unstable economy based on credit! Yep. Very simple.

    Simple in her world maybe (I think most things are simple there), did she ever consider that the guy wasn’t level prior to getting fired? I’ve worked with some “interesting” people over the years.

    He loses his job, the wife takes everything in the divorce…including his dog (his dog…that is low). He crosses the line of reality and bad things happen.

    The :em72: asshole had $17,000 strapped to his leg and a flight out of the country booked, so he wasn’t even close to dire straights yet. He was a fucking lunatic to begin with.

    ….because just know….you’ll be entertaining the Pigs at the top who have already bilked ya out of the REAL money!

    This bitch is a real socialist cuntmuffin isn’t she? You know the employee should always get the largest share of the profit from the company…as if their expenses aren’t the largest expense on the company.

  82. LC TerribleTroy, Imperial Centurion Comment by LC TerribleTroy, Imperial Centurion UNITED STATES

    The one who kills Kay should be found “innocent” as it would actually be a mercy killing..

    that Santa Suit guy was not crazy….. for a crazy person, he had enough congnizants and organization skills to pull the attack and he planned an extraction, and he booby trapped his vehicle prior to committing suicide. That was a fucker on a mission….. and I wonder if tey are going to put his probably exisitant military service on display.

    To bad he didnt just smoke the ex-wife….. I mean hell…. SHE DID take his DOG.

    Seriously……. sick puppy hope he’s enjoying hell

    Can you imagine the levels of their hate filled derangement when Obama tanks? I can, Intellectual Conservative.. At work, some idiot bitch, driving in with a big luxury SUV, diamonds the size of my fucking kidney stones, her bratty little kid looks at me asking…”What are YOU doing about global warming.” She stands there smiling, waiting for me to ring her up.
    I looked at him and said…, “Right now, trying not to freeze to death. And you see that little gray car out there? That’s mine, big cars are baaad for the environment, use more gas , pointing at hers, and increase global warming.”
    Innocently done, of course, but you should have seen the daggers in that bitch’s eyes. Smiling sweetly, I thanked them for their purchase. No doubt this bitch was using her kid as a scout, then she would have jumped in. It’s happened to me before. being at work puts you at a disadvantage. Now she can explain to her kid why she drives what she does. Not that I wouldn’t have minded owning that piece of hardware, mind you……..speaking of hardware…found a nice 30.06 with a scope I am hoping to buy at Big 5. Right now money is super tight, need five bills, but a long range rifle would round out my collection nicely.
    And they are good for the enviroment, you can shoot all those bad people driving those big cars and using too much gas…. :em01:
    I had best keep my truck parked for a while……..although I’d give a hundred bucks to have been able to say that to that little kid. Truly, of such things dreams are made.

    Caveman,

    The last time I went to Whole Foods (we call it Whole Paycheck), I noticed an extraordinary amount of SUVs, luxury cars, gas hogs, etc. in the parking lot.

    I guess spending their whole paycheck on yuppiedom assuages their guilt.

  85. LC HJ Caveman82952 Comment by LC HJ Caveman82952

    I loved the vehicle, Skye…..I simply despise the hypocrisy. But they are safer, the eco freak SUV owners moan. Really? I say. Then why in the fuck can’t I drive one? You have no problem with it! More of ok for me but not for thee. The left known for that, ask any communist. Reminds me to round out my gun collection and ammo supply for what I believe may be coming. That’s ok, I have a PT Cruiser hi output turbo GT stashed in my garage, rarely driven. My F-150 is used weekly for graffiti removal, or when I simply need a truck.
    Whole foods? Not one around here in the sticks. Don’t need ‘em. We call them farmers markets here in town. Must be nice where you are too, the grain belt around you.
    I spend my whole paycheck on guns, ammo, food, medicine and such…..assuages my guilt too, something about an oath I took long ago.
    Well, not quite all……
