I have a scar near my knee from when I sliced my leg open on the chain guard of my bicycle when I was a little kid. That was almost 40 years ago.
I also have a pocket knife that's so sharp you could get cut bad enough to need stitches just from looking at it...

Nice
Although I'm not sure I would want to look at it since I have never had stitches before and don't intend on changing that

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! The problem is that I have four siblings, all of whom have husband/wives, and children of their own. So they usually come in the morning and stay for about half the day, then I am left with my parents alone, it is very boring. Plus I was hoping that this year I wouldn't be alone (romantically), but I am so...... yes I will be bored on Christmas. Hmmm, we're normally at my aunts house during the afternoon through supper but I don't expect to get stuff that will keep me busy the entire time we're there, so how 'bout we make a POTN date, sometime in the afternoon/evening we get on here and talk about what we got, whether we like it or not and so on

I hate that! In my family nobody cares about my photography unless I will take pictures of their bratty kids, but if you sing or play a musical instrument) niether of which I do), then you are perfect and amazing. If you don't you are basically scum.
That's KIND of how my family is, but not so much. My Dad was into photography when he was in highschool so he understands most of my stuff but as far as my Mom is concerned, my brother's dancing is the most important thing in the world.

Well, that's better than having to watch your sister-in-law get complimented for her amazing use of clip-art to design address labels or her wonderful ability to decorate cakes with a piece of card stock (enhanced with clipart) covered in contact paper. Or, her lovely clip-art designs printed onto t-shirt transfers and destroying t-shirts with crappy designs that crack after 3 washed. She even puts the kid's name on the design so you know who the kid wearing it is. And, always theri first and middle name. She's even put a picture of the kid on the kid's own t-shirt. My MIL pisses me off so much. I design a cool x-mas card from scratch and get nothing while my SIL gets RAVE reviews for the crap she puts out.
That's what happens, every family has a favorite, and if you're not it then you will be ignored fairly often.
