You can't even remember what else was said. Somebody else was taking over? Talking in your voice, it just wasn't in your natural character.

I've been scarce around here a few days. Haven't been able to think straight, been very tired and spent. Getting some rest.

For those that know, Those that don't. I lost my Baby Brother in Nov. It was and still is a touchy hard subject to deal with. Been working on getting past it. I'm just slow.

His ex wife called me the other day. "The Manipulator"
She told me ( didn't ask) stating that she was making plans to come on down with her kids for a visit. Excuse me? I didn't invite you! As she put it she was doing ME the favor. Seriously don't do me any.

What set me off was her complaining, she was in a rage, that her kids would only be receiving a partial payout of my brothers S.S. money. They won't see a dime of his 401k, Life insurance or anything else concerning his property. I think she took Wifey #2 to court and lost it all. Being a self centered little twit never will benefit you!

Her fatal mistake with me was when she mocked my brother yet again. I let the first time go. I wasn't in the mood to hear any more. Somebody had to stick up for him. Like when we were kids, it was me who ran across the school yard kicking some bullies butt. The big guy little guy 5 to 1 never flew with me. I took them out and made them pay for it for days. Just because they got stupid and got caught.! Munky Stomp!

She went on to tell me what Wifey #2 did with my brothers remains. I almost got sick. It was so shocking and disgusting.

That's when I just blew. I ripped her up one side and down the other. Called her out for mocking him after he's gone. After everything he's ever done for her and her kids. She didn't deny it.Shined what I said on. Don't shine me on little girl! Told her & #2 were nothing but bullies. You 2 just didn't know when to stop did YOU!? You guys just kept kicking him to the point until he was castrated, beaten down to get the the state he was in.

Are you BOTH happy now?!! It didn't stop with that. I took it even farther. Vented at what a disgrace her and her kids attitudes were at his funeral. And still are behaving badly. That frankly I could care less what your selfish minions get or don't get! And that included the other minion as well. That I thought it was fantastic that she wasn't going to get a damn dime. Never will!

My Mother had better not EVER find out what she did to him. If I find out she has, in the condition that she's in right now. Somebody's going to hear MY foot steps! Do YOU understand ME?!!

( This is where I checked out and can only remember very little of that conversation, before I ended up just hanging up on her)
I could still hear her ranting as I was doing it.

Go ahead Cupcake, keep lawyering up Ms. Know it all. Now you really won't have any money. You life styles changing. Don't like it now? You liked that piece of land? Nice truck eh'? Fed well? Pretty sweet life you had huh?
It is no more.

My husband thinks that the timing of that call was for a reason. I had very little of it at the time. Things had to be said. That maybe it was my Brother who took over used me as his voice so he could have the final say, finalize things, say the things that he couldn't when he was here. He probably needed that for his own closure so he could finally have some peace. If it was him I'm sure he's extremely proud and thankful to you for sticking up for him.He's watching over you. ]]> Off Topic, Jokes, Games...

DID YOU KNOW...
Brains in love and brains in lust are not identical. Erotic photos activate the hypothalamus (which controls hunger and thirst) and the amygada (arousal) areas of the brain. Love activates areas of the brain with a high concentration of receptors for dopamine (associated with euphoria, craving, and addiction) and its relative, norepinephrine.

My friends and I play disc golf in a public park, where we just have targets marked on trees with two pieces of white tape. You try to get the disc to the tree in the least number of throws possible. Anyway, my boyfriend designed this course 5 years ago, and now this guy wants to come and put baskets in, and make it a public course with signs, and set tee boxes so anyone can come and play. We play across the park, and then back, using the same targets from different tee boxes so that we have 18 holes, but with a public course it would end up being a short, 9 hole course. So not only will putting baskets in destroy 9 of our holes, every course I've ever seen has issues with erosion, garbage, people breaking off branches in their way and killing trees, drinking beer, throwing cigarette butts everywhere, and the biggest issue is that this is a pretty heavily trafficked park- lots of picnics and families. If there are people in our way, we always skip the hole, or change the spot we throw from (almost every hole on our 18 hole course has an alternate tee box for that reason). I bet a lot of disc golfers will think that the park goers should get out of their way because "it's a disc golf course." I can see innocent bystanders getting hurt. Am I being hypocritical?? There is a parks and recreation meeting tonight about it that I plan to go to, but I'm worried that they will say we just don't want to share our course. Unfortunately everyone else in our disc club either has to work, or is out of town so I have to go by myself and represent how we all feel about it. That's why I'd like to hear an outside opinion. I'm not very good on the spot, and I'd like to have an idea of how people are going to respond, and whether anyone is going to agree with our point of view, or if they are going to think we are being selfish.

Oh, another thing that bother me is that this "disc golf dude", as he calls himself, plans to use the 9 holes up the park that my bf designed, and we have been playing for years, but when people ask who designed the course, the answer is going to be, "Chuck, the disc golf dude", or whatever his name is. It bothers me because mike put a lot of work into it- the course has been evolving and getting better for 5 years. He drew out maps and really put thought into it. So anyway, a little feedback/suggestions/devils advocate would be really helpful :). Thanks all! ]]> Off Topic, Jokes, Games...
