Edit: Stand Down, the event has ended, and we’ve returned to DEFCON 4. Your support was felt in spirit, if not in the flesh, and your service is appreciated.

There is of course a “no politics” rule, which means they get to “accidentally” drop little comments then titter in apology, but no one gets to reply.

And the last thing I’m going to do is make a scene at my wife’s family’s house with my wife’s family on my wife’s birthday.

So here I sit, stewing, and I don’t even have access to anything intoxicating.

Please send a few hours of amnesia and something cold to drink. And earplugs? How about a national emergency requiring us to leave the premises?

    Call them out or leave. Nothing is worth torturing yourself. Perhaps your wife will be mad but trust me, it’s only worse in the short term and perhaps opens a way to dodge them all together.
