Don’t have time to listen to them though - we can’t open the presents until after my mother-in-law is here and after we eat lunch (husband’s orders.) So I have to go in and take care of the food.
I already let our daughter open a present from her friends and one from us - I don’t like this business of waiting until 2 or 3 in the afternoon to see what you have, and then having to be so super careful about not tearing the paper so it can be reused. I’m ripping this year and I don’t care WHAT my MIL says - it’s my house too!
I don’t know much about the Cthulhu mythos, but I may be much older than the old ones. My step mom took us all to a councilor who uses an unusual technique to get rid of all the negativity you pick up in past lives. I am a skeptic, but I went along with it, anyway. She regresses you back in time to points before you had picked up the different spiritual neuroses she has categorized. I regressed back before the existence of this cosmos to a time in a previous cosmos before there was significant oxygen in the atmosphere of that cosmos’s Earth (I was cyanobacteria (blue-green algae)). Evil entities seem to avoid me, I take it even they respect their elders.
I still have my WWCD bracelet. It’s about twenty years old now and what was once a black bracelet is now kinda orange-ish and splotchy… but, it hasn’t fallen off yet… and nor has my hand for that matter… fascinating…
