I know it is Easter, so I should not cause problems--right? Well I have to go with the wife to a family members house that is a tree-hugger PIA. Would it be wrong to show up wearing my SOD and start chopping on a tree--get banned form ever going over there again <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

That would NOT be the politically correct thing to do, but Probably WOULD be the correct thing to do.

Stamp out political correctness, smoke cigars and admit you know what sex is!

If you whack on the tree with the SOD you might have a TOUGH time today, but you will also pretty much kill your chances or ever going back there. If that is your plan. If the PIA complains tell him you were demonstrating the effectiveness of the SOD on a tree. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Never been much for PC! And I do have a Legend cigar my pop gave me that needs to be lit <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I really despise going to this family members house. She treats her kids like they can do no wrong, will not let the one good kid play any sports because it is "demeaning and useless violence", and thinks that people should love the
New Messiah" Obama--she actually called him that.

See why I don't care to go there <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

i dont think i would be able to bring myself to go at all... but i certainly would not go without my DF!

Just play it safe bro... Nobody likes drama....... well, let me rethink that last one.

Well said, Bruce - it's easy to have animosity towards those you disagree with, but it takes a lot more effort to be tolerant of those differences. I think a bit of energy put towards understanding others would be appropriate for this particular holiday, don't you guys?

On this holy day, I would just try to keep the peace. We all have family difficulties, but thank God you have a family dinner to go to. I did not attend church today, as I am busy preparing dinner and cleaning up for my guests. I hope it goes well, but my 18 year old daughter will be bringing her mixed race boyfriend, and my brother in law will be here too, as my sister is away in Atlanta on business. He really, strongly disapproves of my daughter's choice, and I am not happy with it, either. But I am going to do my best to prepare a fine meal and treat all my guests with hospitality and love. I am just grateful that I will not be spending this Easter alone and will have my girls here. Life is too short to let the important things be at the mercy of our petty differences.

Amen.
Now when do we eat? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for reminding me why the family is getting together in the first place. I will play nice today. Now the 4th of July is a different story--I can have fun then--right!
