A nice thing about not having a family during Christmas, I don't have to spend any of
my money on presents. Nothing, not one dime
Greed has no limits.

1. Tell me about it!
Got home from work last Thursday to find water gushing out of a broken pipe and flooding the garage. It had frozen, cracked the pipe, then thawed.
I did my best to stem the flood (shut off water and applied a repair kit) but had to have a plumber out on Friday to fix it properly.
$400!!
That sure put a crimp in the ol' holiday shopping!
Now when a member of the family asks me, "Hubby/Daddy, what are you getting me for Xmas?" I reply "Running water."
Your Christmas budget is only 400 dollars?

2. I have family and I don't spend a dime on them.
(Except for my daughter - I buy her socks.)
Must be the lone democrat.

3. I wish I had someone to buy gifts for.
I have almost no family, wish I had someone to spend money on.

5. I'm touched by your post.
I have a very small family, and few to buy for.
I share your loneliness.
Sending blessings and love your way. May you find people to share your love with.

19. We buy gifts for our older veterans. They have requests written down and we will
choose two of the requests lists and buy what is written on the lists. I feel they really need to be remembered also.
BULLSHIT!!!!!!

8. I'd rather still have my family, thanks.
However, it's nice to get through the season without having to pretend a bunch of stuff I don't feel.
I think they kept every single present I ever sent them. I know my mother filched a couple of bad paintings out the trash when I left town for Boston.
The best presents were the ones I found threadbare and stained because I knew they'd been used over and over.
We've seen pics from inside of your shack. What a pig sty.

I am Jewish and we still gave a few things to friends, including money to the widow of the man, who's family saved my father during the holocaust. I am glad to put that money in the mail to Poland every year. I guess moral obligations are alien to you too. Me, and I are your vocabulary, not we or us.
If you think this makes you nice, no it does not. It makes me feel sorry for you, to points of really sorry. What happened to you to make you this selfish I have no idea.

Nothing better than being alone at the holidays to put your life in perspective. Just underlines what a cruel meaningless joke life is.

These are some of my favorite types of DUmmy threads. I love it when they expose their misery.
-
Why must they wait for Christmas to give gifts to friends/relatives?
-
Two words that are foreign to DUmmies:
Make friends.
Make friends.
-
The idiots on the island are truly a miserable bunch. It's the little snippets like this that you see the true loathsome people they are.
-
I checked out this thread yesterday and it reminded me of a thanksgiving thread where it was stipulated that DUmmies hate their families.
Or rather, that their families would just as soon not have them around, and the DUmmies sense this so they go...well I got this uncle who is just insufferable so I ain't going.
Don't worry DUmmies, It's ok to sit alone in the darkness.
After all, you don't believe in all this crap...right?
-

Yep.
That's another reason I love the Christmas season. You know that some of them add to the total count of suicide during the holidays.

You're missing how DUmmies think. It's not about what you give but what you get.

Eh..I figure you are right, BUT, they do seem to despise the holidays.
And they won't let you forget it.

A most strange post from the pretend reporter who claims to know and have done everything yet knows next to nothing and has never done much beyond winning DOTY.
I am Jewish — She is posting on a website that openly hates Israel and secretly appears to hate Jews.
saved my father during the holocaust — She is posting on a website whose mindset and adoration toward their political leaders very much matches the mindset and adoration as shown by the population that allowed the holocaust to take place.
moral obligations are alien to you — She is posting at a website whose idea of ‘moral’ is to do what feels good and whose idea of ‘obligation’ is even more skewed.
Me, and I are your vocabulary, not we or us — She is posting at a website where each member, including herself, thinks he, she and/or it is the center of the known universe.
What happened to you to make you this selfish — She is posting at a website whose central theme is to steal from honest people who work and pass out the loot to those too sorry to work (in other words, themselves) which on its face seems kind of selfish.
On the plus side for the pretend reporter, despite some punctuation that is as bad as that of a some fictional spirit-guides she has finally prepared a writing that did not need to go through some sort of translation device in order to understand it.

7. I get gifts for people in my family.
I enjoy it.
But I sure as hell don't drink with them.
:lmao: Remember that reference?
-
Well, I have to say that was probably the most cogent and reasonable thing nads has ever posted. There was also some pretty good sarcasm directed at the OP in that thread from other DUers enjoying a moment of lucidity, which seems to have largely sailed past many of us here.

I would dearly love to encourage and assist them, in that endeavor, during this Holiday season.

"Your" money? DUmmy, that money doesn't belong to you, it belongs to the government. You had best be sending in that extra scratch to the IRS so they can redistribute it as they see fit.
Hey, it's what you demand of the 1%. You going to follow those same demands or are you the hypocrite we know you, as a liberal, to be?
-
Your Christmas budget is only 400 dollars?
Not to "side" with the DUmmie, but this would have been nice. Our company did away with Christmas bonus's 4 years ago. Since then Christmas has been pretty "thin". We don't even get a party this year. Ho, Ho, Hum. :p

I was surprised by her post, thinking..."Nads couldn't be a mole could she"?

While I agree, there's no "secret" about it. DU has long shown Stormfront-level anti-Semitism. As for Nadin, she's "Jewish" in the same way that I am "Catholic". In name only, not in practice.

I wonder if cousin it has been circumcised?

Many of the primitives haven't bought gifts since Planned Parenthood stopped offering gift certificates a couple of years ago.

Caution: Illiterate journo at work!
Really, though, I wonder how much longer the nutcase will keep slinking around, commenting surreptitously on obscure threads. It's like she's trying to hide in full view.
She knows the voting period is over.
I expected her to be back in action with her hilarious OPs by now.

nads is Jewish ?
We need to update her resume to include Rabbi.
Who woulda thunk it ?

That's easy.
Just wish a DUmmie a "Merry Christmas", then sit back and watch the fun.
