I had such a good xmas eve! My mom came over @ 1:30pm and we had bruch. I made cheese strata (saw the recipe on Martha and thought it would be awesome) we also had honey buns, sausage, bacon, cheesy hash browns. Watched the Lions win *YAY* Exchanged gifts. Mom got us both winter coats & Detroit Lions shirts and got Kaguya a cute water bowl and her favorite treats. Kevin gave me one gift....a pair of GORGEOUS black boots! I love them! I will take pics of everything soon.
Around 6 we went to his parents' place for the annual Bencik xmas celebration. I wasn't looking forward to it, but it ended up being alot of fun! And I got to tell everyone we're getting married in May so hopefully they'll show up.
We exchanged gifts when we got home. I got Kevin a 5 inch ceramic chef's knife and he got me a RHPS trivia game! I LOVE IT! And he loves the knife. So i did good. Now we're going to watch Bewitched (the movie) and wrap gifts. Tomorrow we head to my dad's for brunch then Keith and Karyann's and then Joe and Jules and then my brothers and finally HOME!
I LOVE XMAS!!!

Stupid Yahoo Group
Okay I just have to vent. and I warn you there may be obscenities here. Sorry.
I've been a member (until today) of a Detroit Lions group on Yahoo. I've loved it, plus my old friend Dino is a member there, but we had a new member join recently. He's pretty much an azz so I try to ignore him as much as possible (and I've deleted many of the posts I've gotten in email so this won't be a complete listing of his arrogance and idiocy) so one of the posts he sends that gets my blood boiling is this:
~~~~~~~~~
Yea, we used to have hot cheerleaders just like the cowboys, in fact, we had 2 different sets on the field, at both corner endzones. A pom-pom squad and a cheerleading squad. Lions thought it took interest off the game and put it on them, so they axed em'. They also discovered some pervs were buying tickets and watching them the whole game, and never even looking at the game, and believe it or not, it was true. They started filming the cheerleader watchers and decided we had some creepys in the stands. But hey, even true football fans would miss a play now n then because of em', if ya know what I mean. This is when they would even do cheers during plays, not like now when cheerleaders only do them between plays and time-outs.
I think if we got some cheerleaders back, and they did not cheer during plays, it would add support and not take from the game.
But Michigan is a very misandrist feminist Matriarchy, and virtually feminist controlled. Wives and feminists didn't like their husbands looking at the cheerleaders for three hours with football plays in between. I think our female governor and senator are proof of that. Michigan is feminist controlled, don't get a divorce or cross a female in Michigan, the feminists will see that you are hung without a trial. lol.
When they dumped the cheerleaders because the feminists didn't want it, the news ran a story insinuating it was because of pervs, by filming a guy in the stands staring at the cheerleading squad. So between the two, it was axed.
You get a different perspective when you've lived in Dallas for 2 years and Florida for 1o, like I have. When I came back home I discovered just how controled Michigan was by the feminazi's. I didn't realize it until I moved to states with more equality. We gave them the right to vote, and have done nothing but strip males of their rights and children ever since. Ever wonder why a female with 6 kids gets custody and $2600.00 per month in welfare, while males get $150 in food stamps and must sleep in the alley? You guessed it, feminist control. And male feminists are even worse, they'll do anything a female tells them to do. They are no man. If the feminists don't want cheerleaders, ya ain't gonna see em' in a state like Michigan. lol. Sad but true.
~~~~~~~~~
I mean WTF! FEMINAZIS?!?! I was so flipping mad I composed about 5 email posts to reply to it chock full of facts and refuting his ignorant mysoginistic view of things but I finally calmed down and let it pass. I figured why give him power over me. so I ignore his posts for the most part...if he spouts off I let it pass. I mean some people just get off on being assholes online. And I know sometimes I'm uber sensitive to situations where i feel men are talking down to me cuz I'm a woman or the whole being hispanic in a sea of whites thing. So I let it slide...and a few others...after all this is a group consisting mostly of men so I try not to rock the boat. But then the other day we're talking about former QBs that should come back to the Lions and I mention Jim Harbaugh (*sigh* he's dreamy...plus he was an amazing team leader on and off the field) actually the posts go like this:

Oh Gawd! We can talk for days about the people the Lions let get away. Is it possible to be under the influence of organizational stupidity? I mean a whole organization that fails because of a compete lack of common sense? Or maybe a course. This Jauron guy is killing with his interviews. Its like:
[Journalist]: "Coach Jauron, what do you tell your players before a game like this?"
[Jauron]: "I don't know."
[Journalist]: "Coach, why have the Lions continued to lose and what will you do about it?"
[Jauron]: "I don't know. Find me one person that has the answer to that, he/she can tell me, and we'll both know."
[Jauron]: "Garcia is my starter"
AN ORGANIZATIONAL LACK OF FOOTBALL SENSE!!! Or maybe this is a strategy designed to trick the football world believing the Lions are perennial losers. If thats the case then it is pure ambrosia genius because they even got the players fooled.

Does he mean like those butches they get with the manly voice on the field that we have to listen to with a pre-script que card at least once every quarter telling us about a player injury? It's laughable! Then she'll move her hands around to try and convince us she's right, like she's in the locker room and rehab with the injured player. It's a feminist control power fiasco! I say boot her ass off the field, they try and stick there nose in everything! These female butch commentators don't know jack about the game, so why even try and push that BS off on us? As soon as the sideline female commentator starts her dialog, I turn the TV to another game to check the score. At least if a guy were doing it, it wouldn't look so fake......(there's more but it's football stuff so it's actually pretty relevant to the topic)

Yay Todd. I mean he's a Favre lover so I don't particularly like his but that's okay he's got balls enough to say something to this asshole running his male mouth. Then:

david adams <***@yahoo.com> wrote:
I like to see female fans, but why are all the sideline commenters now females?
There are plenty of male football sports commentaters more deserving with more knowledge and experience than the females reading que cards, or memorizing a short scrpit. And why do they all have to have a man's voice or sound they are chain smokers?
Next they'll insist on being coaches or allowed to play in the NFL, how would you feel about that?
I'm with the times, that's the problem. Women getting their hands on every facet of male sports is the new criteria. Hell, if the white man didn't have a say, the whole league would be black players by now. Where do ya draw the line? Are white men still in the NFL only for a harmonic ethnic racial balance? Are there better white quarterbacks more deserving than Vick? The last thing I need is a girl telling me how to play football. Are we going to hold them at sideline injury reports, player status and after game interviews? I've already talked to several guys that don't like them on the field. Would you spear a female like you would a male? Do I feel threatened that they may soon insist on playing? No, but who are we to say no they can't play? Once they get their foot in the door like they are doing, it's all down hill from there. That Chang girl is trying to get into the PGA when there is a WPGA already? What kind of power play is that? Can I join the WPGA? Just curious?.....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
there are about 3 more emails where he "argues" his point so i post:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
You're joking right? Cuz this ignorance is only at home on the Jerry Springer show. I respectufully ask the moderators to keep this racist mysoginistic bullshit of the board. I've let many a comment from you slide, but as a female football fan (oh yeah, did I mention I'm also OF COLOR?) I find this highly offensive.
Thank you
Jazmyn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And I'm told by someone else that "As much as Dave's post lacked tact, he makes some good points, and just because he's right doesn't mean he should be shut down." And one of the MODERATORS says basically "this topic isn't about the Lions anymore...let it drop" SO...it's okay for David to argue his mysoginistic bullshit about football in general but I can't say how I feel? FUCK THEM. So I left the group. I posted a goodbye and the reason why I left. FUCK that. Maybe I'm too used to the couch where we actually try not to hurt people's feelings, but seriously.
I have fought the majority of my adult life as a sports fan...as a FEMALE sports fan...to simply be treated as an equal in my opinions and comments on the game. I know it sounds foolish and I'm sure I'll regret leaving the group someday but when you KNOW you have a female in the group who is an active member, how can you let someone spout off at the mouth like that?
I"m highly emotional today anyway for some reason. I know it's not PMS cuz i just went thru that. I've been crying @ thedrop of a hat. But I asked Kevin what he thought of what the guy posted last night before I sent my post thru and he said the guy was an idiot.
Maybe I should have let it go. Maybe i should have argued my point more and tore him down. I'm just not in the mood to deal with any more assholes than i have in the past week or so.
I've decided I think I hate people. Not my friends. Just people.

So much to do
so little time. I have so much online crap to do....going thru wedding plans, reorganizing my emails and adding filters, not to mention keeping up with neo and gaia...and now I'm crocheting 12 hours a day. No kidding. I know I was setting up a crochet blog (and I still plan to) but my bright idea was to crochet scarves for all the women in my and kevin's family. I'm an idiot. PLUS my mom wants a shawl. SO....I'm watching a million hours of TV as I crochet...at least I'm emptying out the DVR of all the stuff I recorded but haven't watched yet lol.
Since we have all our shopping done, tonight we're cleaning the house when kevin gets home and then doing some wrapping. Tomorrow I shall be crocheting some more and then possibly going to a party with my mom...not sure about that. Saturday is brunch here with my mom and Todd to exchange gifts then over to kevin's mom & dad's for xmas eve celebration with the Bencik's (so not looking forward to that) and Sunday is brunch at my dad's then possibly Joey and Julies and then over To Keith's for dinner (we're bringing the dessert) If I'm lucky instead of going to Joey and Julies we're gonna go see Memoirs of a Geisha!!!!
Kitty's doing well...wedding plans are still on altho I haven't had anything new to add lately...going dress shopping next month...Kevin's wonderful...we had a talk about the racist pig @ the bar and worked out my issues....went to a Motor city mechanics game last night and saw the bipper family, that was fun...and now I must go crochet some more. Watching "Born Yesterday" (the 1950 version with William Holden) then I think it's gonna be "to Kill a Mockingbird"
*hugs* HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!
