GM's thread about nothing (32 Viewers)

Nobody but ford gave a #### that my ####### house nearly burnt down earlier in the week.

:finger:
compost gets hot. dumping hot coals in it=not good.

you should probably just give up doing stupid #### for lent.
Lady raiders did it you ####er!!!! I told her she was an idiot and not to do it, from the couch, with a beer in hand. Eventually I forked lifted my ### out of the couch and checked the compost, literally running my fingers through the ashes. It seemed ok. :mellow: not so much.

And I am giving up something stupid for lent......drinking. Hey-O

got a message from my sister earlier tonight, just asking to call her back. was going to wait until my daughter went to bed to call.

a couple hours later my parents called me over and over while I was reading to my daughter...knew something bad had happened. my daughter said go answer the phone, something must have happened...

my brother in law was murdered tonight by someone that was renting a room in his house.

 
um, this sounds awful, but spare the thoprawishes.

he was a bipolar alcoholic, and for years I've lived in fear for my sister's safety. I've driven to Portland on more than one occasion just to check on her.

they were separated, but not divorced. she loved him, and didn't want to divorce him. they worked out living in separate houses.

I knew him for about 20 years. outside of the craziness, he wasn't a bad guy. brilliant, inventive, creative. but dark, unpredictable and prone to violence. I got along with him. the rest of my family didn't. I'm more confused than anything, and the fact that I can't feel anything more than relief for my sister makes me feel a little...dirty? empty? I just don't feel much about his life ending. I'm not surprised.

All I can do is support my sister, but I'm a little ashamed about how little value I put on his life.

 
Wow, fish, I'm just really sorry. Maybe you won't necessarily grieve the loss of his life, but there will probably be plenty to grieve in the coming days/weeks. I'll spare the TPWs if you like but I can't promise I won't be thinking about your family.

So was this a cold blooded murder or was there an incident or altercation?

Holy God, man, that's horrible. I'm so sorry.

Oops, kept reading. Glad your sister is safe. Hope it ultimately turns out better for her.

No doubt. Ours like the hot wheels too. Stumbled upon a few of the egg openings too. Just so weird

Sorry gb. Tpw's for your sister.

Ironic, if you had married Knuckles, she actually wouldn't have been the least stable person in the family. Too soon? Sorry if it's too soon. Seriously tpw's to the whole Fish family.

I completely empathize with you, except my sister lives 1500 miles away, so the drives over to check on her are limited. They have a 9 year-old son, and before I had my own daughter I never thought I could worry that much for the safety of another person. He went off meds last year, "'cause he didn't need them anymore." He just got better on his own. All of a sudden. The drugs had nothing to do with it. Maddening.

Sorry. I'm rambling. Where I was going was: I don't think there's anything to feel dirty about. When something improves the safety and well-being of your family, how can you NOT feel some semblance of relief or satisfaction from it, even if that something is awful for someone else?

My son has just started watching Youtube videos of Hot Wheels tracks. Loves them. Would watch for hours if we let him.

The Minnesota guy who owns every Hot Wheels track ever is completely nuts.

Yes - wall tracks are a particularly big hit.

This is the guy.

My kid does this. He asks for more absurd situations each time. "I want a race where there's a crash and an ambulance comes" #### like that.

I got him a cheap pad that he can do voice search on, but he doesn't use it much yet.

Edit: Oh man, he loves the surprise eggs too. Also he's into trash packs now. Talk about a colossal waste of money...at least they're smaller than cars, which have basically taken over the house.

Losing somebody to murder is extremely different that losing somebody to old age, disease or even an accident. Your sister is going to need your love and support for a long, long, time. Hang in there man.

Hadn't thought about it that way. Thanks.

 
Oh it's Fat Tuesday you ***jnuts!!!!!!

In honor of that im proving to myself that I'm not an alcoholic, these cocktails I'm hammering tonight will be the last until that idiot, jeebus, gets his ### out f the desert Someone get that dude a gps.

No booze for lent. Tpw's welcome.
In for this, too.

:eek: TPW to you and your family fish.

 
News report makes the victim sound like a cross between Manute Bol and Ghandi.
Yeah, odd. Sorry for your sister's loss, fish. That's tough no matter what the circumstances.
This is where I am with the FIL. He was not a great father all of the time. In fact, just six months ago my wife nearly had to stab him with a pair of scissors in self-defense. He pretty much abandoned his wife for several months and went back to Italy. Before I came into the family, they had him arrested for a physical altercation with his son.All that said, he was a husband and a father and his wife and kids are sad he's gone, as am I. Despite all his insanity he loved us and we him. It's weird typing all that and then following it up with "but we loved him" but it's a loss and it's tough. I guess just to echo krista's sentiment, even though he wasn't the greatest guy, your sister and the family are still hurting.

 
think it's weird he never told me he was friends with SLB
Since everybody insists on sticking to this meme

My 20 year old cousin died Monday night. Not that it makes it any easier but he was sickly his whole life. His parents are angels here on Earth for what they went through taking care of him and the love they gave.

Found out yesterday our old neighbor had a heart attack and died yesterday morning. He was 2 years younger than me. He was watching their young daughter while his wife was at the store. Came home and found him dead.
