Yep. It could be worse. You could wake up strapped to a chair and forced to watch "Growing up hip-hop"
Please, take NO offense, anyone
Oh now you're getting to be like Bruno, the sadistic torture guy. * shivers *
There's something dubbed Ex Isle, um, a whole slew of erm um ... not sure what kind of shows. Me and wife say no thanks to them. We like seeing old Law & Order reruns. She also watches those House Hunter shows.
Her doing that is kind of part of the going on here in a way. We're both looking to
escape and be off to ourselves again. Her bro-in-law has is breathing my air and I'm grumpy about it because my wife says so, and she's pixel off at him in a bad way. Her pixel off is highly justified too. He crashed her into the barn's post a couple days ago.
He fouled up the passenger doors. It's a 4 door, light SUV. Not sure if we can open the doors or not yet.Afraid to for fear of being unable to close them. It is a
used and fully paid for truck. That is not the point though.
He and I had spoken regarding moving the truck. My consensus was "well, it's snowed and iced in, wait and let it thaw out". Nah, he has go and be like "I am the greatest driver, most know it all, blah, blah, blah" and try moving the truck. Like her, I'm still wondering why he did not stop when it was patently obvious that it had started spinning, sliding, had no real back end control. I can only return, ... "Behold the power of stupid!"
And it is not the first he has fouled up this truck for her. And to boot my wife is paying about 3-4K a year for utilities here, plus feeding her sister money all the d_ time. My wife will be fortunate to maybe hit around 13/14k this year clear ... minus oh say probably 5/6kwhich goes out for her sister and her family. No, money really is not the issue. It is an issue, but not the issue. Yes, I understand helping family. But help and spooning them life, wiping .... are two different things.
It especially gets irksome what with me being the
nice guy and the
bigger man,
better than that when it all gets dumped back at us in a sh@@y way. Their attitudes toward me convey a message of hate, of 'you're not family'. Her sister apparently even has my wife's dad telling lies against me. I used to be the son-in-law they liked. Well, I can be the nice guy alright. Doesn't mean I need to extend myself any further than needed.
"Oh you needed firewood brought in? Well shoot you got two sons able bodied enough but um, sure um, up to you ...sorry I forgot to bring wood in". "You wanted coffee too? Oh drat, I dumped half a pot thinking I'd spare it going bad", "You were coming back into this room, when? Sorry, we're paying the lights, I wanted this room off for a bit and no one was in here" ... .
Yep, I can be nice and I can be nice being nasty too. I have just held off a great bit. Might need to start.
