Odd Happenings
 

Many of you more than likely have had something simular to this happen to you. Your parents move, and need a place to stay for a while while their new home is being built. You have the extra room so you say sure, come on over and stay. Then you come home in the afternoon and plan on watching Girls Gone Wild or something equally obnoxious from your friends DVD collection only to discover that your Grandmother is watching the Lone Ranger.

Now just savor the shows theme music for a while.

Well, it certainly could have been much worse. Can you say, "Golden Girls"? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Odd Happenings
 

Naw, the worst would be if you walked in and your Grandma was watching Girls gone Wild.

Re: Odd Happenings
 

Sounds like a good time to get out of the house and do something outside...

Re: Odd Happenings
 

Geo, if that happened I would immediately make sure I wasn't a walk-on for either 'The Exorcist II' or a remake of 'The Twilight Zone'. Then I'd wash my eyes out with bleech and go see a shrink.

Not that I didn't like my grandmothers, they we're interesting women. But they've been dead for over 10 years now...

I could just see the headlines now.

Girls Gone Wilds kills elderly women in grandsons home. The pervert left the DVD out and his elderly grandmother mistook it for a rerun of Matlock. See Page 5.

On page 5 they have a nice distorted b&w mug shot of me from 20 years ago.

NOOOOOOooooooooooooooo Thanks.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Went and chopped wood all day. As payment, was given DVD to watch. Could not refuse or be branded as sissy boy. Came home, smelling of pine, with DVD in hand.

"Oh hey whats that in your hand?"
"A DVD."
"Looks more like a smut book to me."
"Oh hey look the Lone Ranger is on."

LOL. You know for sure your day isn't going to be good when you hear the words, "Submitted for your approval..."

It can get much worse my friend. Try this on for size: Your parents get to be 60’s and 70’s and the step mom runs off with a younger man (60’s) and files for a divorce on the grounds of mental cruelty. Pop refuses to believe what has happened so you hire him a detective. The detective lays out the hard proof and the divorce on grounds of adultery commences. Three years later, when all is said and done, no one hates the adulterous bit**, they all hate you! Step mom (with reason) Half/brothers, sister, they all think it would have blown over if you had kept out of it. No one cares that she all but cleaned Pop out!

Then the bit** files for half of a family trust which she thought was Pop’s money. A: It’s not his; he gets a portion of the income, and B: she is excluded from any benefit by an existing prenuptial agreement. 30 grand later the court agrees. As trustee, I ask for and get 300% legal fees for the bullsh** suit, as is the law in this state. I take the amount spent in legal fees and release her from the remaining obligation. Again I am the SOB of the family. The consensus is that I should have paid her off. Then she talks two of the half/siblings into trying to remove me as trustee on the grounds that by releasing her from the remainder of the judgment, I was not acting in the best interest of the trust. Well that one fell flat on its face at pre-trial.

Now she has talked two of the half/siblings into trying to break the trust! A trust that has provided for the retirement of two, soon to be three generations of my family, not to mention seen many of them through financial difficulties. So now I am in the position of protecting the trust from the actions several members of my family.

So if you think house guests are bad, just consider how bad it could get.

Re: Odd Happenings
 

We all know about Stepmothers. You are not an SOB. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I have many a horror story I can swap, but nothing tthat tops what has happened to you.

My step brothers and I are still friends despite lifes little twists and turns.
