Cousin Ricky Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 My mom just asked me if I’m going to the parish picnic tomorrow.I hadn’t considered it. But the New England Patriots don’t play until evening, so I can’t use that as an excuse.Maybe I’ll just take Nancy Reagan’s advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So... will there be booze, or at least, beer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GypsyMoon Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I used to have to go to "fellowship meals", I' m assuming ots pretty much the same thing, couldnt get out of ot so I used to annoy them all by being the most anti social withdrawn person there. It was funny seeing the reactions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellinas Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Sounds like the last church barbeque where I sat by myself in silence eating the sandwiches I'd prepared in advance. Are they at least going somewhere that will permit you to go for a walk by yourself? Or how about feigning a migraine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cousin Ricky Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 I took Nancy Reagan's advice and skipped to a tavern to watch the Seattle Seahawks show up late and the Green Bay Packers go home early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cousin Ricky Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Are they at least going somewhere that will permit you to go for a walk by yourself? That's what I did at my family reunion last August. I learned in 2010 that Christianity is the official family religion, and in 2014, the reunion committee managed to schedule the Official Family Church Service so that it was logistically impossible to skip it without missing the family dinner that followed. So I went for a walk and then sat on a park bench until the service was over. (Judging from the reports from my mom and aunt, my watching ants crawl up a tree trunk was more entertaining than the church service.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry your team packed up and went home before the game ended. Maybe they should hire a fat lady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
