Ah, we had a blast. Lots of rain for three days, but otherwise a lot of fun.
We made gingersnaps and my daughter learned how to roll them in sugar, so they were extra awesome (and extra sugary!).
The gingerbread house....was structurally compromised. We had a lot of fun decorating but our icing was not firm enough to hold the pieces together. Oh, well.
I made traditional danish pork for dinner and realized I hate the smell of bay leaves and cloves roasting. So, pulled those off 10 minutes in and it worked out better. Pretty bland though, think I'll make some type of chinese food next year.
Any good food for you?
I saw that there was massive flooding in the UK while watching coverage on Ellis and Collin counties being bombarded this weekend. I hope you all get to enjoy at least a little sun soon. Keeping kids cooped up during dreary Winters is the worst.
Also, FREAKING TORNADOES AROUND CHRISTMAS!?!
We did simple sugar cookies this year instead of lebkuchen and marzipan stollen. Neither my mom nor I picked up the ingredients, so we were lazy with cookies this year. Lukas got messy and dumped every sprinkle in the pantry (including Halloween ones) on the cookies with reckless abandon.
As for the rest, the usual...Ham, goose, cornbread stuffing, white asparagus with hollandaise, roasted rosemary red potatoes with squash and carrots, spinach dip, brie, edam, smoked salmon, black forest cake, cherry pie, apple pie, and probably a few I'm forgetting.
Gutbusting!
So, did anyone else get the opportunity to see 'The Force Awakens'? Are we going to have to use the "spoiler alert" for its intended use and add super warnings so people don't tap the drop?

I'm going to see it tonight as long as nothing comes up between now and 7:00 requiring my attention. I'd have gone to see it a long time back when it came out, but things happen. Eagerly awaiting midnight releases on movies, games, or music isn't a thing I can do anymore, apparently.
so on break time
i went to the main office for some supplies, walk by the break room, see some people oggling a box, so I walk in (after I got my supplies)
"so this is a gift box for the boss, but he is in Taho for a week. let's eat it"
"should we? someone go at it 1st"
box contained one large sausage, few slim jim sticks (non slim jims), strawberry jam, black raspberry jam, swizz cheese, another ball of cheese, peppermint candy, jack daniels mustard, apple butter, and something else.
"other boss said it was ok to dig in"
so we start eating stuff of the box lol
"you should try these cookies with the jam..."
>"nope, those arent the bosses cookies, ill go with the crackers"
Ok Mosin, check your PMs. I'll take a picture with my nice new phone I got 1.5month ago or so of all the stuff really soon.
Although I think there was a picture a bunch of pages ago too. But yeah I got a ton of ***for you. Plastic Romanian bill, coins, Serbian coins, Yugoslavian coins from early 2000 when it was only Serbia and Montenegro left or something. Plus bonus material, lol.

that's awesome, I'm going to send it certified mail this time.
There was an episode a few weeks back where homeboy killed his wife, then started dating this other chick. well after a few months or whatever spilled the beans to new girl and she naturally flips to the cops on him. she was the main one dude was interviewing for the show, and he starts down this line of questioning where-in he goes:
"so after a few dates he asked you to move in, huh?"
"yep"
"and you said yes?"
"yep"
"then a few months later he asks you to marry him? (disbelief creeping into tone)"
"yep!"
"and you said yes? (full-on raging disbelief in tone)"
"yep!"
then he drops the bomb:
"you don't say no to much do you? (playful smirk)"
I almost peed myself laughing. the wife even got in on the hysterics on that one, and she doesn't even approve of my dateline watching / mockery for whatever reason.
I must have forgotten all about it by the time we talked again, thanks for reminding me. hahahahaha.
Was this the one with the Mid-Western doctor where his new aspiring wifey recorded his confession while they were in Puerto Rico or Costa Rica, and she's asking about how he's going to support her when he reveals his plan if he has to go on the lam? Then, she realizes she's not a part of his plan and only then decides to turn him over?
You murdered your wife?
Did you make it through the rest of 'The Leftovers'?
EDIT: I didn't like 'Dateline' until the Halloween clown one. That changed my tune. "The *** is 'Dateline' doing on the DVR?" I know now there are indeed gems.
Just heard my niece say she's interviewing for a position with the department of corrections, she said "they probably won't hire me because I'm cute" my sister laughed at her and said she's not that cute, then my niece said something about doing her makeup, fixing her hair and she said something and used the phrase "on fleek."
I don't know what that means and it kinda scares me.
The worst thing I keep doing is saying dollars instead of dinara. So when I have like 3,000 dinara (~$27.04) I keep saying stuff like I only have three thousand dollars on me, etc.
Warning, Girlboy! There's a disproportionate number of the stories on 'Dateline' that come from CA, TX and FL, and it makes you wonder if those are truly the posterior, gooch and dong of America. It's almost always spousal murder, too.

Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.
Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
