and re: your aunt's bro getting a sex change-they were just all jealous!!!

My sister and I keep threatening to write a book...the above? Just the bottom of the barrel....things really got ****ty when my uncle (the husband of abortion wife) stole my grandpa's identity and ran his dry-cleaning business into the ground....I'm totally not kidding....I think the business also became the front for a drug operation, but we've not proved that one for sure

My family IS fu**ed up...it's a wonder my sister and I came out at all normal - but the fact that we have very little contact with them may help...

the fact that your aunt admitted to having the abortion because she didn't want to get fat was a winner!!! Well, again. I 've said it before, but kudos to you for turning out normal.



well...semi-normal

Yeah - she had an eating disorder for much of her adult life (as did her daughter -she had two kids from a previous marriage) and..another aunt of mine had one too...hmm...

Semi-normal is right - these women helped with my oh-so-healthy body image

Eh - there are pockets of sanity in my family - and we usually huddled together at these Christmases...

The real fun part is this **** always happened during my grandma's big Christams opne-housess....so God only knows how many other families in Cruces have memories of those f**ked up Espinosa christmas parties

that's what I started thinking of. Your sister's boyfriend, etc. All the people that were NOT a part of the family. They were NOT prepared, I'm sure

Hey - if we ever all get together again - I'll drop an invite to any Ledgie who likes to see public spectacles...or maybe I'll just video tape it and post it on YouTube

But my prediction is the family will not be getting together in one place until one of my granparents dies...

Alcoholism, drug addiction, and eating disorders are sisters.

My family is currently fighting sort of because my Dad doesn't want to host the family party this year. He has a very high maintenance girlfriend who probably doesn't want him to do it. I actually wouldn't mind if that party just never happened. A couple of my aunts married some real winners and I can't stand being around them.

I think everyone has family drama - and actually since most of my family doesn't talk to one another the drama is now relatively low (mother and sister excluded )

But last year - and I hope again this year - my sister, brother-in-law and nephew have spent a low-key and quiet (and turkey-free) Christmas together - focusing more on the reason for the day than on gifts...it worked well for us

Back to the topic at hand...

I've just told some co-workers to stay away from Butterball They all claim they always buy Jennie-O anyway
