In two hours, I go to my aunt's house for Thanksgiving dinner.  I intend to do my best not to get into an argument with my aunt.  And not to be bitchy when she tells me she has a computer problem.  Because my real thoughts will be along the lines of "Oh, but aren't I supposed to clean up the kitchen because I'm a girl?  In case you haven't noticed

Sooooo...how was it?

Come on, you should know you're going to offend and upset people! You're a girl, working with men, and you wear pants and have been known to dye your hair and hang out in your underwear and tinker with electronics and you have boobs, after all, how could you think that was going to be okay with everybody?! Are you actively trying to offend people or what? Don't you care what your family thinks??

(That crash you heard was my sarcasm-meter exploding.)

Ours was better than usual, actually. It was just immediate family, and (unlike last year, when my mother and aunt got into a feud which is still apparently going on) was all rather calm. Amazing.

Ah, the joys of family. Although dyslexia (which i have a tiny smidgen of) can be fun: first glance, when I read "Lubavitch", I transposed the 'b' and the 'v'. Hopefully you won't hold mentioning that against me.

For the rest, I can't give you any useful advice. The use of electroshock, bamboo splinters under the fingernails, and exposing them to continuous exposure to "The Carpenters" is frowned upon in certain circles, and might get you talked about. ;-)
