I ended up having a wonderful thanksgiving with my parents. I got up late, and with a case of PMS, but the day was rescued by much caffeine and chocolate...The only topic on which we have disagreed about in the past came up. He feels I should buy a house instead of living in an apt. He offered to cosign or lend the deposit this spring after he assaulted me and I turned him down flat, (I was very specific why I didn't want his money. I still don't want his money. Well, my mom cut him off short and so did I, because I have changed my mind about owning. The new apt. I have is great, located in a nice family neighboorhood, the landlord is nice, but firm, but the neighbors upstairs are the neighbors from hell. They make an incredible amt of noise and don't care...I won't be moving for at least a few years, but hop springs eternal that they become much quieter...
In summary, it was an excellent Thanksgiving, even my dad said so...
