Quizzle for 11 October 2022:

Do you have a family member who drives you NUTS?

Do my teenage sons and wife count?...I spent the first 20 mins in the house after getting home from work corralling the boys to pick up things they had left around the house and putting away things in the kitchen they had left out after having the day off yesterday.

Yes. My sister's beagle. A couple hours of him is enough for everyone. Last year at Christmas he got on the table and ate a pound of butter. You can't put him outside without tying him up or he runs away. He doesn't come when called. Dad and I say to just let him go, he'll come home when he's hungry. Mumsy won't let us. He's mostly toilet trained now, but you have to watch he doesn't go downstairs and poop. Last night he got "overstimulated" and humped my grandma. By far, he is the worst to take for a walk, because he has major dog aggression issues. If a dog walks by the cabin, he beagles for five minutes. It's a horrible, ear piercing bark and howl. When he meets another one, he barks and tries to attack it. One day, he will get the stuffing beat out of him. We almost had my sister give him away once, but she decided he wasn't so bad after all.

Yep. My closest friends and worst enemies are cousins. Most are decent enough people but many have various idiosyncrasies that can get on my nerves. My parents worked hard at maintaining a relationship with much of the extended family. After it devolved into vicious personal attacks between some of us I just don't bother anymore. I prefer a peaceful life without stupid, pointless drama and conflict.

Yes, but it's mostly just minorly annoying,  but  generally easy to put up with type of stuff. I'm sure I return the favor,  as well. 

 

There's nothing really bad, though.  We make a point of bringing it up and resolving it before it gets to that point.

8th: What is your favorite snack?

9th: What is your pet's favorite snack?

PS: Get outta that Halloween candy!

Generally, I like anything crunchy and salty. And I find "sweet and salty" crunchy snacks dangerously addictive.

 

No pets. So I'll eat their share.

I have never decorated my home or office space.

 

It's not that I'm a stick-in-the-mud, I *do* like seeing decorations elsewhere, but I live alone so no one is around to enjoy it. And there are plenty other decorations at work.

I'm the answer to that question for the rest of the family. 😉

 

For my immediate family, we're pretty chill and reasonable people. So nothing out of the ordinary. Of course, as children or teenagers we'd drive ourselves crazy, but in a "healthy" way that prepares you for life in society.

 

Now the extended family... There are cousins with different views and are very VERY vocal about it, and you try to dance around the subject at family gatherings.

Not really, though as fall has arrived this week nature is decorating.

**No.

I don’t go “ NUTs “   I am more likely to snarl, get surly, or growl. But I wouldn’t call that sort of thing Nutty. 


Justifiable slow building anger is not necessarily irrational. :ik_oops:
 

**For the record most of them are very nice.
