Guys!

It's Christmas!

That means no headgear and it's bare knuckle so get ready while I collect bets
Have you been to Peru?

If you want to learn more about this, search for "Takanakuy".

(They do wrap their knuckles in cloth, though.)

Seems uncharacteristically reasonable.

Strange that at this time of year (especially in the Northern Hemisphere) people would voluntarily submit to societal compulsions to add more things to their to-do lists when we would all probably benefit more from everyone taking a break from the arbitrary templates and hibernating for a while.

Inasmuch as you seem to lack social intelligence (except to whatever extent it serves your goals as a sociopath), may I suggest that next time around you broach the topic a few months in advance with the people who might be most disturbed by your disruption of their familiar traditions? Maybe also offer to meet up sometime before or after the holidays and honestly explain that you could use a rest at the end of the year.

You're welcome.

VR there are lines that shouldn’t be crossed and you seem to have done that. You may or may not care but come on.😢
He seems to have shifted from unfunny disinhibited drivel to unfunny disinhibited nastiness.

You mustn't be liked much within your husbands family 😂

Do they not think it's odd?
We're a blended family. We both had lives before we met (in our 50s). I'm not related to any of them, and my sister is the only one of my own family still alive. So no, they don't think it's odd.

Nothing nasty about it, you already were in on a lie you were dead during a Pandemic when real people are dying. Now you expect people to believe what you say about people dying, even if there is the possibility it is true. You already showed you were a liar on the pretense of it being a Joke, not a funny during a Pandemic which has killed thousands of people! I don't think you even get it as to why you're not believed by me.

Very Rusty If you are a decent human being in the real world, you know what you should do now to repair your reputation.
Perhaps he's just a thoroughly indecent human being in the real world?

Sometimes when you start digging a hole one losses not just time but perspective and all of a sudden a way out becomes very difficult to see.🤔

NO, I don't pretend to be dead during a pandemic like you did fmf. 😛

It seems to be a classic case of online disinhibition syndrome. He keeps going on about how I "pretended to be dead" when I did nothing of the sort. I was playing chess against Ponderable and Kewpie.

You didn't stop gooster from saying it or say it wasn't true, so you are just as guilty as he is! Hell you didn't even get after him for doing it now that I think about it. That you should have done for sure!!! You can't make be believe you didn't know what was being said and sitting back laughing about it.
