We have one like that. She's been banned from events at our house and other family locations for a couple of years now. Can't visit without a phone call. She told us stuff other family members supposedly said about us and told them stuff we said about them, etc. Alcohol is involved. Stuff like that never goes away, you have to protect yourself.

Just got a call from the GD. Her family have all been sick for a couple of days. Throwing up and coughing. Sounds like the flu. Her husband got it first and he is starting to recover. He's coming over to pick up some food. We will wear masks while he's here. Down to 5 for dinner now.

My wife’s mother and other brother were already fed up with him and I told my wife to let them know what he said to our daughter. I just can’t understand him thinking that he could sway her with gifts and that she wouldn’t tell us what he said. I’m done with him.

I'd say jerk brother should not be allowed in your house.

Hey @Uncle Willie, long time lurker checking in.

I had meniscus surgery yesterday. Just before rolling me into the OR the anesthesia assistant and nurses went over a bunch of questions (which had been done earlier but OK). When I said I vaped nicotine, the assistant basically hissed in my ear that I need to stop as it was worse for my lungs than smoking. I turned my head to look at a nurse on the other side of the bed and said 'Funny thing, they have vape shops in hospitals in the UK' and left it at that. The good news is that's about the last thing I remember until I woke up after the surgery, so the anesthesia was pretty good!

Looking forward to being mobile in the new year and losing the pounds that came on in the past 9 months. I thought it was arthritis acting up again, so I did RICE and my PT exercises then tried taking a short walk, but my knee blew up. Rinse and repeat before I finally called an orthopedist. MRI revealed the meniscus tear and the usual conservative course is to head to PT first. Tried that and got bounced out when my knee blew up again. Then had to wait for a surgical consult and getting on his schedule. Recovery PT starts in Jan. and I'm so ready for it.

Sending positive thoughts to @MikeE3 for a resolution to his issues too!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

Good morning. It’s hard to believe I only have a few days left of vacation. It has flown by.

The jerk brother stayed well after the in-laws left which was odd. Our oldest just left a few minutes ago. We found out some stuff he said to our oldest daughter after he left and my wife is fuming mad.
