Pumbas Nakasak
Heading for the great escape.
You shouldn't have raised kids. You should've raised minions. Just sayin. I think of it as raising boys that will make my future daughter-in-laws think I'm a genius.
I personally enjoy the wonderful grub at family gatherings that I didn't have to cook. The time to see the relatives I like is nice. There are a few. Oh, and another justification to drink and light things on fire (New Years fireworks in the country) isn't so awful. It's all in perspective. Find the parts you like and enjoy it. I thought maybe the whuppin' with the tinsel stick could be inspiring for you but I digress...
Maybe its cause I have three girls (young women), and they lack their mothers good taste in men.
Besides I have a small bar in my house and I m not three bad a cook so perhaps the bar is set quite high year round. And Im all for a good whippin.
