[SAT 9,609]

Why you complaining? The 'asian' community lobbied for it, spent monies in the right places, and got what they wanted. You should take advantage of the downtime... And put a handcuff with 18 foot chain on your housemate, in the kitchen, so's she can make the family reunion meal.

Right?

Right !

Ya, something about snow days and the price of heating oil later on in the season

Was it fook related or illegal alien workers related?

We has an entire building, new construction, collapse recently. All I can blame is the illegal alien work crews.

1- Wrong! you numb nut. It's a mere political gimmick that all these foreign holidays are observed. Like I said, it's a lib- sobbin' fake gesture of good will to get votes. Every Chinamen parent would not mind sending their kids to school on lunar new year. Education comes first. there's at least 6 or 7 school days missed as a result of these stupid dum ### holidays catering to everyone and their mothers.

2- not fook related.

3- That might be true for texas.

Speaking of texas, what is the new state motto?

"Se hablo ingles"?

I dare you guys to try to buy a book of stamps from the USPS online.

It's like they don't want your business.

I've done it recently and it was fine.

[SAT 9,609]

Query - would you have extra monies if you set up your land for deer-leases? Pair up with a guide, take half the fees? I know it's not the season anymore, but hey ! I remember mentioning this 3 years ago.

Then pocket the money in your private fund, the cashbox buried in the boat.

you fook, why indahel would I do that?

I don't need the money, what are you retarked?

I've done it recently and it was fine.

From the USPS website?

I order priority mail shipping boxes at least once a week. Same ordering system. But I use a PC. Are you using a PC, with a real web browser, after logging in to yer account? Sure, the boxes are free, but hey !!

first my account was disabled, then they emailed me a password that didn't work

then I had to create a new account

then they said the password does not fit their criteria

Then they said that my discover (black card) was no good.....

[N-o-l-a 7,167]

From the USPS website?

Yes. In retrospect maybe it wasn't so recent, more like beginning of December.

[Darnell 8,478]

As it stands, half of it goes to the kids.

But even when I leave stuff to the kids, their mother can get her hands at it, illegally or otherwise.

I don't have any trust funds set up. Because there are several disadvantages.

That's easy - don't die until the youngest hits the age of majority.

Then write a will the day after, leaving the housemate nothing, with instructions that any domicile/land must be sold and the funds go into an estate. The estate fund manager only writes checks to the companies where the kids are buying big ticket items. Maybe add in a monthly allowance.

Or, this month, prep the post-nup and get her to sign it.

you nuts of numage, you can't do that in NY

[SAT 9,609]

There's like a hundred texts on my phone.....

can't they see that I'm battling the post office?

[Darnell 8,478]

So, last night, my sister was in from Philly.

My mother was expecting to have reunion dinner.

I was already fighting with Tiff....

I said to my mother, you can have all the reunion dinners you want with your daughter. My reunion dinner is at my house tomorrow. If they can't make it, too ###### bad. I am not changing my schedule because my BIL has to have dinner at his parents house tonight.

I didn't eat with anyone. I went out by myself.

Then, later, I told Tiff to get the #### out. Go stay with her sister. Go rent a room, I don't care anymore. had enough.

I told her to go eat with her sister. Why not? Tiff bought the food.....

She said a few things that almost made me think that she, like my father, is jealous of me.

She forgot that I grew up poor.

Anyway, she still thinks in the mentality of her friends. Can't see or plan past a week into the future.

I reminded her that she has a choice, and she's not helping me at all. I think Fat boy (again) reminded her how fortunate she is. I think she doesn't realize how good she has it.

And then there was her friend PC, the same one that thought she was going to buy into that restaurant? and become rich? She got into this multi-level marketing scheme, and had a great month. Tiff joining her, swearing that they're going to be rich? And PC was going to quit her job because she had a good month? remember? Well.....dead in the water, does that sum it up? But when I tried to tell Tiff that these MLMs are nothing but a scam. She wanted to kill me.

I also threw in her face that 3 years ago, everyone in Malaysia was bragging about how great the economy was. Well, how times have changed. Seems like everybody is....###### BROKE now! yeah, who saw that coming? Steve did.

6 months ago, her friends kept buying the ringgit (Malaysian currency) at 1 US- 3.75 RM. well, they lost their pants too.

You think Tiff would listen to her husband? Or her stupid dum ### friends?

I asked her, where do you see yourself 10 years from now? No answer.

5 years? no answer.

1 year? no answer.

right.....so I told her where I saw her 1, 5, 10, 20 years from now. Because I can see. I'm fortunate enough to be able to see, and plan. And I told her she's not helping. She's just pissing me the #### off daily.

It's good (for you) that you let her know how you feel. It won't make a lick of difference, she's not going to change.

Query - if you got her father involved , would he lay down the law? (The Steve Law, that is )

So, Tiff apologized. She tried to give me money, but she doesn't understand that it's not about that.

I set up a deduction from her checking account to the kids' 529s.

I told her she has to pay 1 electric bill.

I have to give her some responsibility.

(I have 8 or 9 utilitiy accounts.....)

Did I ever tell you that in her entire life, she has never had to buy a cell phone, or pay a cell phone bill?

well ,lets see what happens in March...

[SAT 9,609]

<shrugs>

I think by now, my FIL hates Gump.

His period of tolerance is over.

I mentioned that he said he was never crazy about that marriage.

Now, it's 9 years and 2 kids later.

And his daughter has absolutely nothing to show for it.

[NikLR 13,227]

That would be rather important for some cultures too wouldnt it?

[Darnell 8,478]

How many beers has the hillbilly downed already watching the game?

Speaking of downing beers, where's Darklar...

Oh - sorry, was out for weekend fun at the garden. Got the 3-level fort thingie roughed out. Bottom level is a wet room, for cleaning stuff. 3 sides are garage doors. 2nd level is sleeping, cooking area, electronic gear. 3rd level is a half-wall, observation deck, with pig smoker. On top of the roof surface will be the solar panels - tis a 12 volt fort The beams, 8 x 8, were picked up from another reclamation buddy - we traded for 6 80 pound bags o horse manure.

Also mixed 300 bags of specially cured grass clippings with 1000 pounds of dead vegetables and dead fruit, making dirt... It was a long weekend, I not participate in any CNY stuff on purpose. I snuck in some left-overs, and that was it. Well, maybe had 2 special monki showers also.

And sorry, I don't drink when school is in session. semester breaks? maybe.. I've lost my ability to handle a six-pack.

[SAT 9,609]

That would be rather important for some cultures too wouldnt it?

It's important in every culture to varying degrees.

The mideast is how many camels you have

China is how much farmland you got

etc.....

But you know, news travels thru the grapevine.

Even when I traveled to Malaysia, Tiff's extended family already knew that her sis didn't marry good.

And now, he's past the critical period of time for a man to make something of himself, I mean, there are exceptions of course.

What's the difference between a pizza and Gump?

A pizza can feed a family of 4.....

[NikLR 13,227]

Its not important to my family and most I know. What was important was happiness.
