Title: In general, how was your 2015?
Post by: Relaxer on December 17, 2015, 02:55:06 pm
Mine was pretty good. Job is relatively secure, marriage is in a much better place compared to this time last year, one kid is thriving, general health is ok though it declined a bit the past few months due to sports injuries.

On the other side, one kid is struggling and it's getting worse rather than better, we did virtually zero home maintenance and some of the neglected issues are rapidly getting worse, underlying health issues are always lurking in the background and could explode at any moment, marriage is in a better place but there's still a lot more drama than I'd like, I've developed a potentially very dangerous feud with a higher level person at work.

I'll give it a 6.3/10

I continue to be a beautiful disaster who lives a complete consequence-free life and falls ass-backwards into success. 10/10.

Could have a job I care about a bit more, but all in all, can't complain.

9.1/10

I've had better, I've had worse.

Sadly, time does seem to go by faster after you pass 45.

At least I didn't break a rib like I did in 2012, or break my back like I did in 2014.

Beware even-numbered years, apparently.

Was born in 1967, met my wife in 2001. Got married in 2003. Had our kid in 2007. All good things.

My dad got cancer and died in 1996.

I think you're onto something.

You also got your bone on at least once in 2015, so that's something nice.

However, I presume since your daughter was born in 2007, that you got to dunk yer dong in 2006. Maybe it was a post-election throw-down?

Mid-term post-election sex is the best post-election sex.

My second son was born in 2008 so looks like 2007 was my hump year. God I will never forget that.

Well, mid-term election sex is certainly appropriate for me.

Because no one shows up!

I also got hired at my current place of employment in 1997. So that's another plus for the odds.

Yes, conception happened in 2006. But conception isn't much fun when you're trying to get pregnant, is it? I mean I had to have sex for like every day for a week for at least three months (fun when you're 21, but I was 39!) before we got pregnant. Is that kind of pressure really that much fun?

Yes. Yes, it most certainly is.

There was a period of time where I wanted to get a vasectomy and not tell my wife, and then convince her that we should have a 3rd kid so that I'd get like six months of constant lovin' without fear of further ruining my life.

What was your plan when/if she wanted to go to a fertility to clinic to see why you guys were having trouble conceiving?

Not as good as some years, but probably better than most. But for a lot of people I know, 2015 was one of the worst years they've had in a long, long time.

relaxer, i want to know more about this fight you got going with a work higher up.

my year, was up and down.  great job, great partner, great friends.

but, I flipped and totaled my vehicle in the national forest when a full size bear was right there in the road.  I came within second or inches of dying, for real.  the police and paramedics who pulled me out the vehicle through the windshield after I was knocked unconscious for over 30 minutes, told me . . . dude, you got 9 lives, because you should be dead right here right now.  I will never be the same mentally after that, for it changed my perspectives on life in general.  Plus I loved that vehicle.

I did finish my first novel of fiction this year, and now I am in the throws of rewriting it for final prep to be hopefully published in 2016. 

I won't complain . . . but it would have been nice to see more shows this year.  totally slacked on that department.  Did not even see phish this year.

Offer to do more housework. My wife tells me all the time she's be up for boning daily if I did my share of the housework.

I don't trust a lot of people . . . but im working on that.  I would never share my personal life on a site full of strangers, but as I said, my views of what is perceived as reality has changed, so now I don't mind posting my photos on here, telling people what I do for a living, giving some internal insight into my levels of thinking.

plus, im trying to forget the accident.  and if I ever see that bear again, im knocking him the fuck out.

I already own: groceries; bills; laundry, school lunches; all get-ready-for-school activities including getting kiddies up and dressed, having breakfast, and pooping; 75% of dog-walking; 50% of dish-washing; 25% of dinner preparation; and oh yeah, I make the money, provide us insurance, pay the taxes, and manage our rental properties.

My wife owns: school pick-up, gifts, travel plans, 75% of dinner preparation, 50% of dish-washing, 25% of dog-walking, and there might be a couple more but I can't remember them. Bottom line is (and we both acknowledge this) I do the majority of the housework.

I remember the good old days when they didn't use such judgmental terms as "erectile dysfunction," and called it something more playful like "sleepy peepee."

But seriously, there's a pill for that.

Nah, it's not ED or even whiskey-dick-itis. It's a sad, tragic case of not-gettin-any-action syndrome.

Um...holy shit! Glad you're ok!

My year was relatively good. Passed the CSP exam, husband got a job he really likes, MIL is staying relatively sane and not drinking, I like my job.

On the flip side, our cat almost died, but she seems to be hanging in there and both of my husband's grandparents died within 2 weeks of one another last month. But, there's always some bad to round out the good.
