The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

Okay Hafrog .... I heard that.

And my! What a simply GLORIOUS afternoon it is here!

Okay Hafrog .... I heard that. [/img]

What? I distinctly remember you saying that

I honestly don't even try to keep up with the hive any more....

Were you lying? *gasp*

Some time soon plans will begin for my friends' traditional New Thanksmas celebration. Because who needs three parties when one will do?

 

[hafrogman]

Yeah, we sort of separated out Halloween and threw in New Year's, but same principal.

...

Less chainsaws.

I did this one year, it wasn't to much effort, and it gives you a sense of doing good for the world.

That is "I did this" if by "this" she's a 'going to cook and prepare food for a homeless shelter' kind of "well-meaning whackjob". . . and not the 'kill and butcher your wife in a real effort to feed the homeless' kind of "well-meaning whackjob"

I think what I meant is that Thanksgiving is a pretty big deal for my wife's family; it's one of their major get-together holidays. And, this out-of-left-field idea is pretty much par for the course from my sister-in-law.

My sister-in-law is fairly obsessed with responsibility, and doing things for the greater good....she has an exceptionally hard time with just relaxing or doing something because it's fun; she always feels like she should be doing something more meaningful. And, she has no problem with imposing this kind of thing on the rest of the family; I've known her for 18 years now, and I know that she is simply not capable of understanding how other people could have different, legitimate priorities than she does.

Is helping to feed the hungry a good thing? Certainly. Do I think she's being appropriate in this case? Probably not. You see, it's not just "I want to go feed the homeless"; it's "I think we should *all* go spend our Thanksgiving feeding the homeless." (And, I should point out, she has a 7-year-old, and 2-year-old twins; I see this going over *real* well.)

I like chocolate milk.

I ... a lot of words . . . well.)

TLDR

Okay, not really. I did read it. But just so you know for future reference, the entire point of my post was to aim for the chopping up your wife "whackjob" joke. It was a cute image in my head. Imagine your sister in law plus hockey mask and chainsaw from above.

Wife: What do you want to do for Thanksgiving.
Sister-in-Law: Feed the homeless.
W: Oh, that's nice.
SiL: Feed YOU to the homeless! *VRRRRRRRRR*





I understand your reasons for wanting to relax on your holiday, you needn't justify them to me.

I like chocolate milk.

Who doesn't?

Well, beside those vegans, or lactose-intolerants, or chocolate alergens. . . I feel like I've had this conversation before. Deja-Hivu?
