    The last time I talked to you (a few years now, I think, you were working at some customer service phone center, or something like that.)  I'm sure that is not your current place of business.  At least I hope not, since you hated that job as I recall.

    MUCH MUCH BETTER.

    I hated call centers.  HATED them.  At least the time goes by faster doing what you do now.  Stress, yes, but not insane boredom.

    Every year I grab my son and we go to my sister's rural farm. It is always jammed full of people I don't know such as a former Democrat state judge. He doesn't stick around long so that is good. I kinda sit off in a corner by a real cracklin' fireplace and pet the various animals such as 'Lincoln' the Cat. Lincoln looks like Abe Lincoln. Eventually, my brother-in-law starts playing the piano. He had a stroke about a year ago and has taken to playing a lot. He is good even though his one hand is not working 100%. This year, there will be a familiar rocking chair with a homemade knitted sweater hanging over the back ------- it belonged to our mother who died this past year. Merry Christmas!

    Everything sounds so wonderful, but the idea of that Dem Judge not being welcome.  

    What do you guys do to him?  He is nice enough to drop by and wish you well and you cannot wait for him to leave? 

    Just weird.  But the other part of the evening sounds really amazing.




    Merry Christmas to you and yours, and ESPECIALLY that JUDGE.  Long may he reign.

    Perhaps the judge chooses to leave when he does. Not everything in life is about politics. This post was edited by Stu Spelling Bee at December 23, 2018 5:26 PM MST

    Perhaps you should let the only person who can answer this question correctly,  try and respond.   You know? Someone who was actually AT the party? Perhaps you should try and read what he said about everyone being happy when he leaves.  Perhaps they are stodgy, OLD conservatives that cannot wait for any opposition to their conservative comments leave the party.  That is what I see. 

    Not welcome the same way I would not welcome most Trump lovers to anything I had going on.  It kind of lets all the air out of a nice balloon.

    And perhaps you shouldn't make assumptions and speculate when you weren't there and really don't know what happened or why. You don't know any more about the situation than I do. This post was edited by Stu Spelling Bee at December 23, 2018 9:27 AM MST

    My bro-in-law hangs out at the local coffee shop with politicians, including the (retired) judge. Most are conservatives since this is a con. town. I have a personal dislike for the judge and will not go into it further.

    Probably Chinese food and a movie, per Jewish custom. This post was edited by Stu Spelling Bee at December 23, 2018 7:03 AM MST

    How about cutting to the chase and watching a Chinese movie?

    Perhaps. I recently heard a comedian wonder why lots of Jews go to Chinese restaurants, but few Chinese go to kosher and kosher-style delis. The corollary joke is that it is 5779 on the Jewish lunar calendar and 4715 on the Chinese lunar calendar, so what did Jews do without Chinese food for those 1,000-plus years?

    Chinese people who work in restaurants GO HOME and cook or eat at their own establishments.  They don't have any interest in Jewish, Italian, Mexican or any other food, because? THEY ARE CHINESE.

    But not all Chinese people work in Chinese restaurants! What about all those who don't?

    The ones who work in Chinese restaurants are all I am concerned with.  Most Chinese people eat Chinese food.  Most of them.  The bastardized versions are Americanized.  They don't count.  

    Just like the MANY MANY MANY Jews who don't eat Chinese on Christmas eve and watch some movie together.

    Get real.

    You might be surprised how little you know about what Jewish people do to stomach Christmas. There actually are synagogues that organize to serve Chinese food and screen films for congregants to watch together on Christmas Eve.

    Get real.

    Hope it is very Merry.
