Visitation
Good gods.
Not only do I have to kid-proof the house and cat-proof the house (we're not even going into the logistics, also of practical interest here, of proofing the house against ghost chickens) but I have to klepto-proof the house.
Sis's relations are kookier than a hatbox filled with live mink. Her biological sister is a pyscho klepto "Sunday Christian" -- the sort who says she's Christian and all witches are tools of the Devil ... but asks her pagan sister to come and exorcise the house....
...After "psycho klepto Sunday-Christian" the descriptions used for this woman get more interesting, and since my nephew is learning to read and is in the room I'll spare you the best ones. Plus a racist and a homophobe and a hypocrite and a lying cheating snitch.
I don't care for her, and neither does Sis, but Grandma won't choose sides between her daughters (good for you, Grandma... though personally having loyalty *only* to Sis, I say fuck the lying cheating stealing little *ahem*....) and insists on having Miss (well, technically Mrs.) K* visit us.
I really wish I could come out of the closet as bi at them. I really wish I could. They'd freak and trip, but the problem is, the whole family's homophobic, and unfortunately (while Sis is cool with me) her family, the whole thing, even the people in it she likes, would assume the worst about her and me, and never speak to either of us again, and try to get Nephew taken away from her, and .... *sigh*
Grr.
I don't like the rest of her family very much. Perhaps it's her attitude toward them rubbing off on me.

no subject
I guess I'm lucky that the family I'm still speaking too could care less about the fact that I'm bi. I finally had to cut myself off from the rest.
witch
I don't mention the whole witch thing much around my immediate family. The rest of the family seems to be cool, but my dad just isn't comfortable at all with any sort of religion, especially the overblown Christian crap, as he had far too much of that whammed at him while he was growing up. He now thinks that all religions are equally crackpot.
Re: witch
OTOH, while I'm sure no religion I have learned any degree of detail about is correct, there is something to be gleaned from each. Its the crackpots who take each word literally that destroy the chance of finding a gem of truth in something that will be 98% corrupted either by greed or powerlust, or simply by translation and time... and what makes ANYONE think a bunch of prehistoric humans had ANYTHING figured out, anyways?
OTGH theres something out there, to be sure, that transcends anything human science has shown us... its just that it also transcends anything human religion has tried to show us even more so.
Re: witch
...I find I don't want to even begin a discussion of the Powers that Be with him.
I know my merely human mind isn't capable of comprehending anything close to the truth about the universe and life and everything.
Take what V.M. Smith said, though, about religion -- crud, all of it, with bare glimmers of truth here and there -- or else every single word the truth for the human transcriptionist.
By the virtue that no two people possess the same postion in spacetime, each of us has a different view...
the trouble comes when people take that others' truths should be their own, without searching out their own first, or worse, that *their* truth is the only truth.
