Ramblings
Went to my sister in law's birthday party last night. She recently came around and started acting normal after 4 years of hating our guts..I still don't know what started or ended her hatred for my wife and I. She changed I stay the same. I'm not going to bother getting attached to these fuckers because they will probably go off the deep end again at some point.
My wife's feelings were hurt because on her birthday a little over a month ago, none of her brothers or sister bothered to call her, send a card, present etc.. and she was expected to go to this party and be chipper about it.
I personally couldn't give half a shit about these people. Sister in law is manic, The Brother in law I talked about yesterday is piece of shit and the other brother is a drugged out loser.
Went to my dad's house this morning. My Aunt and her husband were visiting from KC. They are nice folks but I'm just now getting to know them. They run a day care and do the foster kid thing. They have 2 teen aged daughters who are happier texting to far off places than doing the family thing...oh well.
They were driving my late grandmother's ford escort when it broke down in Waco. The mechanic said "you blew the engine 4 grand to fix it". Luckily My cousins went up and towed it to my dad's house. I examined the car and it just needs a timing chain....predatory fuckers..that's what's wrong with America these days.
I'm going to offer to buy the car and fix it up for my son. I think that would be the right thing to do.
I shot my .45/410 "The judge" for the first time today. The .45 long colt was pretty accurate. But when using the 410 shells at 25 feet the bird shot bounced off the oak logs we were using for a backstop and peppered me pretty good. I'm sticking to triple ought buck from now on...
My kids spent several hours fucking with the prime directive and moving different ants from one colony to another to see what happened. I told them that if they got bit not to come crying to me...just bluffing of course.
Oh well here's a video:

That's pretty amazing! That was a male right? I've only ever seen women play the harp. And Star Wars music - although it sounded great - isn't what you'd first think of
HA. It's fun to mess with the minds of kids. Especially when ants are involved. Cheers Hammer!!
I guess his dad thought "he will have to get tough or die" and that is the reason I let him learn the harp.
Of all the songs to play on the harp as well. I am amazed/dumbfounded/amused all the same time.
Hey Man.. Kids and there things outside.. Yikes. My girls are so afraid of the ants that they wont touch them. Glad to hear you are just getting to know some relatives. Good or bad only you will know but at least you know them. I would buy the car and keep it safe at that point..
Did you read the piece on "The Box of Truth" about the effectiveness of the .410 loads in that sidearm? Pretty much the same results you had. Great for snakes at your feet, apparently.
Neat concept with the dual loads like that though.
hmm... Star Wars music on the harp.. interesting combo. I'm glad my kid play the guitar though. ;)
After 25+ years in my hub's family his mother recently ripped into me with things she'd been saving up for YEARS. Totally blindsided all of us with it. No one really knew the level of hatred she felt for me until that happened. We only really saw them for family birthdays, and holidays, so for her to have such harsh opinions and remember shit she didn't like about me from 1985, 1989, 1992, 1995, etc. etc. was just CRAZY!!
It's a shame really as now she's missing a relationship with her son and some of her grandkids. Hatred is a terrible thing.
Sounds like someone's trying to stimulate their pockets in Waco.
holy shit he's not even big enough to reach all those strings.
I know what you mean about the in laws. One sister in law came back here and started treating me pretty good, and gigantor pretty good after 15 years of crap. We are appreciative and accept it, but I am still very much on guard and watching and expecting it to all go to hell real soon.
I have one or two unpredictable family members as well. Sometimes they're hugs and kisses and other times they sit there and glare at you over their wine glasses. Very strange.
You're a good guy offering to buy the car and fixing it up for your son. 4 grand...give me a break!
they are righting wrongs...I messed with the Prime Directive about 40 years ago.
Oh yea, sisters suck! Well at least my sister and my husband's sister sucks. We don't even try to get along with those wenches! Every time we are forced to do a family get together we expect the worst, and always leave early with a headache. Sometimes I wonder if I am the only nice woman in the world that doesn't feel the need to say extremely rude things for shock value to my family members.
Usually I find harps very calming but I was distracted by that very creepy hand that kept hovering and then darting for the page.
Cheers
Well well well, what in all hells happened with the ants
CrystalChick... exact thing happened to me with my MIL. She's passed on and now it's become a family story for generations to come.
Hammer, my SIL just bought a Smith & Wesson 500. My Dad said, Well, hell, I guess they won't have to worry about when elephants decide to wander on their land
Life is fun, huh?
;-)
hammer - my husband replaced the timing chain in my ford escort wagon a couple of years ago and that little car has over 300,000 miles on it - one of the best investments we ever made in 2003~!
of course, our two are spoiled turds and one is more than likely getting a mustang for graduation along with every spare cent we've got for at least the next two years when he goes off to college - he's worth it, however - spoiled as they are, we're more spoiled by them as they are two of the best kidz on the planet.
p.s. - we tried to give them the escort, but we got this look like, "WTF?!? you want ME to drive a station wagon?"
Buddy of mine has a Judge. He loves it! Just got himself an M-4 carbine at the gun show in Austin. Sent me a text from the show sayin' he'd been bad. Cracks me up.
And that boys got skills, but he'll never get laid playin' the harp.
