Back to Status Quo

So my mother (88) was depressed enough to be on death's door a couple months back.  She had Awesomeson and Awesome Dil worried which they didn't need since Awesome son is serving a deployment until April overseas.

Now my parents have been religiously shunning me for a good two decades.  2 months ago my father decided to call me and tell me what was happening which normally I never get a call from them.  And before all this happened he adamantly refused to see me when Awesomeson offered to visit taking me along.  Which upset Awesomeson.

Nucking Futs!

So Chef is ALWAYS asking me to look up biz contacts for him and text him the info so he can call them.   He NEVER saves any numbers to HIS contact list...  Why you may ask?

He actually takes PHOTOS of contact info on biz cards!!!  So we were driving back from Buffalo and I have his phone.  He tells me to look at his photos in his gallery and call that number or to scroll through the hundreds of random, unsaved to contacts phone numbers in his recent calls and look for that specific number to call.

Chef's Nephew Now Has A BM2

That R-U-N-N-O-F-T.  This is the only son of Mr. Not-So-Neutral (they are enmeshed).  This is the nephew who is supposedly rebuilding Chef's vintage vehicle in exchange for a brand new heating system (at our expense).  I'll call him the Mechanic.  Again I could see offering the labor for free but the whole system?  Supposedly BM2 dumped him with the children but I sincerely doubt it.  These guys are gruff, burly men and BM2 would NEVER give up her kids!   

Christmas Tree Wars

I've finally finished up the rental single family house which was a total massive project.  I'm exhausted from it all and with Awesomeson away and AwesomeDIL/DGD not coming over for xmas I figured instead of getting a fresh tree, Id pick up a 9 footer artificial one (we have high ceilings) from craigslist.  It should be noted that I do all the decorating and tree care.  Chef just drags it in the house then sets it in the stand.

Last Friggin' Month of CS

I'm sure it will drag on endlessly.  Chef doesn't have a W2 job and works for himself so I send an auto payment from the biz acct directly to Chef's account which in turn generates an auto pymt to NYS CSEU.  The HousesHitter will turn 21 in one more month, the last of the 3 ferals.

I have the payment stopping after 1/4/24, the last of which is prorated for the partial week that he is still 20.

As luck would have it, our Obamacare premium will be doubling at the same time so you can't win for losing. 

Kes Update

Wondering how Kes is getting along with the constant backsliding of her DH in the face of his now adult mini spouses (the madams)?   I know recently ot was touch and go for her.

Another Night Terror!

Not sure if it's because it is the USA's Thanksgiving or Chef doing all this free work for his brother Mr not so neutral with no anticipation of them rebuilding his antique truck in view as a ( very lopsided) exchange, but I had a night terror in which Chef reunited with his oldest two, namely OSS Pumpkinhead (27) and SD(25) the Animal Torturer.    The HousesHitter YSS ( on the precipice of 21)  was nowhere in sight probably because he would have been in jail by then.

O/T Holidays when Overseas in the Military

Question:  are you allowed to send Christmas presents to military stationed overseas during their deployment?  And if so I'm thinking you want to send something small so that you don't burden the military personnel having to haul it back home.   Awesomeson is in Saudi Arabia, which is a primarily Muslim country.   He has already warned me about sending items related to religion especially Christendom.  

Any gift I sent him though would not be religiously themed.
