My wife and I got our signals mixed up and gave my diabetic dog a double dose of insulin this morning. I jumped on Google thinking you’d hear something like “no big deal, just give him a cookie”. Nope! Apparently too much insulin is not something to be messed with... so here I sit on Christmas at the Emergency vet’s office. I’m sure it will be cheap, too. [eyeroll]
My dog ate a salt dough ornament that my son brought home from preschool so I spent Christmas Eve Eve at MedVet. But, we have pet insurance, so I just left him there overnight to get some fluids. With all of those little dolls and action figures on the floor Christmas morning, it is like his Super Bowl for sneaking off and chewing/ruining toys, and I didn’t want him to miss it.

Well Christmas dinner and everything went smoothly, a good time was had by all. There is hope for the future.

Got a champagne saber for a gift. Pleased to report initial efforts were successful. Almost like hitting the sweet spot with a bat, feel the rush as the cork and distal tip go sailing off. Victory.

First anniversary coming up this weekend. Man how time flies. Of course we disagree on where to go, but it will be fine so long as the Cats don’t embarrass us on our home court. Have a bad feeling this will be a balancing of the universe after what Lynn Bowden did to them.

Pretty awesome that today feels like a Monday but is actually a Thursday. More of the same next week. Now just fast forward to March please.

*Another Christmas in the books. Kids made out well as always and the faggoty elf is gone for another year.

*Birthday dinner was great. Went to Costco and picked up some prime cap rolls and Alaskan King Crab legs. Reccomend.

*Lasagna for Xmas dinner.

*Turned down an opportunity to go to the game Saturday. The seats would be almost in the floor...but, behind UL's bench. Told DS Sr, thanks but no thanks.

*Bought a bottle of KY Owl. I know there's mixed reviews but I liked it....which is what it's all about. Drink whatever you like.

*Time to start exercising (or, coke)I guess. Put on my belt this morning and had to go to a new loop. #fat.

-Cham-Bong >>>> Cham-Saber. But congrats on drinking glass shards.

-Scored some Uggs(loafers) and a bottle of Elmer T Lee. Unlike most of my bottles I popped that sucker right away. Delish.

-Little man had a ball. Tons of great pics and videos. Basically beat around the house all day opening presents, setting up new toys, eating candy, watching movies. Definitely my favorite Christmas in a LONG LONG time.

-All I want for Xmas is for EJ to find a pulse and Maxey to become the star he should be.

Shout to Bryant for Christmas Eve service. My mom is down with a stint in both kidneys, and step dad suffering from early onset dementia and they called panicked that the heat was out because the furnace was making a horrible “metal on metal” noise.

I freaked a little as I had my hands full but eventually got the Bryant number(it’s saved now).

Within the hour Bryant showed up and fixed the issue.

I know we were lucky with the timing as a tech was in the area, but on Christmas Eve their service showed up within an hour:clap:

Seriously kudos! And very appreciated.

Please don’t be alarmed if you see Clyde on Nextdoor lose on Cooper Drive. ‍♀️ Thanks to the neighbor that got him home. Dang gate got left open and I didn’t check before letting him out. That could have really screwed up the day.

Merry Christmas, GYERO!
I saw this on Nextdoor. :joy: Dog tracking is maybe the most useful part of that app. Glad everything worked out OK and Clyde had an adventure.

The stomach bug started slowly taking out people in our family starting on Christmas Eve like that sniper is Saving Private Ryan.

Christmas at my parent’s house, our biggest get together, has been postponed. It’s tough on a couple 6 year olds when you tell them Santa came to their grandparent’s house but they can’t go see their gifts.

Christmas Haul:
-2 packs of underwear
-2 packs of socks
-Speakman shower head. That is a fine piece of metal.
-Bottle of Blanton's.

I don't really want anything for Christmas. I hate getting gifts. I do enjoy being able to get my kids things that I would have loved to have had as a kid.

We got my daughter a Go-Kart (shout out to Central Ky Motorsports in Lexington, no one sells Go Karts in Louisville). She had a blast yesterday driving that thing all over.

I've had a stance with my wife that I am not getting her presents on Christmas. We buy things when we want them for the most part. However, she has been dealing with ring rash from her wedding ring for the last year. I upgraded to a much nicer band than the one I could afford in 2006. She had no clue so that was a really nice surprise.

-just spoke to a colleague that had his pup at the emergency vet yesterday. Lordy.

-two pairs of darn tough socks, coffee of the world sampler and a nice note from each of my daughters. Chocolate in the stocking from the Mrs. Profit. Finally got the inlaws to nix gift trading...simplicity is sublime.

-nice little stroll around the arboretum in the afternoon, family game of scrabble and a crab boil for dinner(it's what my 80 y.o. mil wanted...i prefer a roast, whatevs).

- Having a kid under 6 months means you don't get the joy of seeing them rip open presents and just be in awe of the whole thing. But it does mean they sleep through midnight Mass (candlelight Latin Mass :100points::100points::100points:), aren't waking you up at 4AM to open presents, etc. Got up at a cool 9:30AM, went to the living room, put on BBC's A Ghost Story for Christmas, and plopped down on the couch. Laid her on my chest and read her some Elmo picture book stories before we both snoozed again for a bit.

- The other benefit of this arrangement is grandparents go absolutely ape. We barely got her anything, because why bother, but then in comes mamaw with enough boxes to build a fort with.

- Brisket smoked with post oak for Christmas dinner. A little overdone, but not enough to be a big deal. Excellent bark with lots of black pepper.

- Had some windows open on Christmas day, which isn't exactly what you want, but Real Dad did get to sit out on the porch and enjoy a nice bowl of English blend

- Champagne is just a little extry tasty this time of year. Even the cheap stuff

- 11 more days of Christmas, gang

- Spent Christmas with my lady's family down in Louisville - it is always interesting to look at family dynamics when you go into a totally different ecosystem than what you were raised in, ended up hopping on over to Meg's father's place and ate some edibles (the lass couldn't partake due to being with child), and then proceeded to go back to her mom's sister's place with the whole side of that family.

To keep it short, I ate a ton of breakfast food there after the edible and witnessed 15 little hell raisers from 3 to 8 jump around. In the end I looked good in my non-xmas sweater.

- Ended up scoring a shovel/saw/axe tool which will come in handy for camping and a free Costco membership as well. Also dominated in every family game we played (Phase 10, Monopoly, UNO, and Catch Phrase).

- She has never seen a country/redneck Xmas, luckily my family is from Harlan, KY and now live in Alabama...so we are heading down there for the New Year's on Friday. I may publish a documentary.

- Belk Bowl - Cats 24 - Bud Foster 17

- There isn't anything to say about the basketball Cats until they actually get an offense they can run.

- HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

* I think every single friend I had that lived on a horse farm had a go kart as a kid. You really can't get any more badass of a "toy" than that as a 10 year-old.

* If a dog getting loose is the highlight of your Nextdoor app, then you rich, brah.

A couple weeks ago I saw a stolen car on the Ring app. A car drove by almost out of view, then came to a stop in the road. It backed up and parked right in front of another vehicle that must have been left running. The owner of that vehicle was walking in and out of the house, there was a couple walking their dog right there, and the neighbors were on their front porch. No matter. The passenger hopped out of the car that had just backed up, into the running vehicle, and just took off, with the owner running down the road chasing after him yelling and screaming.

That's some hood ****.

* 3 days in Scottsdale with the fam. Exchanged some gifts. Reviewed the family trust. Discussed little bro's wedding plans. Got in some miles. Bro's wife go a Peloton. Pretty action packed long weekend.

* A Christmas Carol on FX was pretty dope. I can only imagine how the pilot of ANY show on FX must go. The execs finish it up, and say "same, only make it darker." I assume.

* Grant Cardone keeps popping up in my social media. What a scam artist.

* Keep the change, ya filthy animal.

Her daughter, who's a gigantic loser who nobody at school likes (per Toots's tweets) is blurred out, but CAL! is in focus, baby. Priorities.

If we're being honest, the Palumbo/Cal thing should have been the canary in the coal mine

No ****. Wish I would have known he’d only have four F4s and a national championship in his first 10 years.

Wife saw Bombshell this week w/ her parents, and was raving about Charlize Theron killing it as Megyn Kelly. Watched a few trailers, and I'm not sure how you could nail someone any better than she does -- crazy.

Saw it, worthy of at minimum Oscar nomination.

If nobody has the balls to bring back Brennan’s, and all the desperate 40-something Saint Matts cougs that came with it, then I don’t really care.


You don’t know **** about Saint Matthews, you’re just fillin in for somebody.
