"
Shut the F*ck Up...
"
Ok, I got to spend some quality time with my sister from out of town this weekend. Now, don't get me wrong, I love all of my sisters and would die to try to protect them, but sometimes I'm reminded that silence is golden...
My dear sister came home to pick up her son who was visiting my parents this Saturday, so naturally, I went over to visit her. I wasn't even there an hour when I was reminded ever so bluntly that "her husband goes to work every day so that I can have my fucked up opinion". My brother-in-law is a Senior Chief in the Navy, and, of course, my sister is a rabid Republican being a military wife. I'm not sure that she liked being reminded that my husband is a disabled Air Force veteran, and he pretty much shares the same "fucked up" opinion that I have. Actually, it's pretty funny, but she didn't phrase it quite that way when my husband & Stimpy's husband (an Army vet) were in the room. Now, I don't go quite as far to the left as my sister Stimpy, but if you couldn't have guessed, I'm definitely not on the far right, either.
I would have really liked to get into it with her, but I wouldn't do that at Mom & Dad's house. Especially since she let her friends in Virginia dogpile Mom while she was down there to visit, Mom doesn't want to hear any political arguments.
Ugh.

| Alyred September 2, 2005 06:39 PM PDT  Fortunately for me, I do my research so I have everything lined up when they go into one of their rants. It eventually gets back to something like, "You probably believe we descended from monkeys." To which I can't argue. Ahh well, America... where the left is right, and the right is wrong. | ||

| Spencemo September 1, 2005 05:53 PM PDT  Ah, it's all right, Alyred...she runs down after a while. | ||

| Alyred September 1, 2005 03:33 PM PDT *comforts* I sympathize, with the same situation. Good luck in future dealings. | ||

| stimpy September 1, 2005 07:46 AM PDT amen, sister... | ||

| Spencemo September 1, 2005 05:21 AM PDT You can keep the hops & tobacco, but, dammit, STAY AWAY FROM MY COFFEE!!! | ||

| stimpy August 31, 2005 09:36 PM PDT I never take anything too personal, Buzzard. There's no need. Ask Ren, I've always been the family whack job. Now I just share it with others, like yourself... | ||

| T.M.B. August 31, 2005 09:21 PM PDT Nah, my worst nightmare is coffee, tobacco, and hopps all going extinct. Nobody's scared of pacifists; they're too easy to beat up. Think about it, who, over the age of six, couldn't have kicked Ghandi's ass? Don't take it personal, stimpy. It's just beyond my willpower to resist when you leave me a setup that sweet. Sort of like this one: <example> "But if being liberal is wrong, I don't want to be RIGHT..." No worries there... </example> | ||

| stimpy August 31, 2005 03:30 PM PDT of course! I'm not just a liberal, I'm a pacifist....The Buzzard's worst nightmare... | ||

| | |
| spencemo August 31, 2005 12:17 PM PDT OK, you two, can't we all get along?? | ||
| ||
| | |
| stimpy August 30, 2005 07:58 AM PDT my opinions were neither conservative nor liberal at the time, they were neutral. It's called conversation. But if being liberal is wrong, I don't want to be RIGHT... | ||

| T.M.B. August 29, 2005 07:49 PM PDT "My favorite part was how I couldn't utter an opinion without being wrong" That's just part of being a liberal, stimpy. Ha! | ||
| ||
| | |
| stimpy August 29, 2005 06:42 PM PDT I considered blogging about this, but decided to leave it for therapy. My favorite part was how I couldn't utter an opinion without being wrong, but she thought we were dogpiling on her...I told the hubby that now I remember why I usually see my family one at a time...love ya, ren | ||
