Neither, I just live life as DRAMA FREE as possible. I am becoming progressively drama-free, and I don't go seeking it out. I come on here because I like you guys, and it entertains me most days while I am working. I don't want anything to do with an internet community where everyone fights and calls eachother names. If I wanted that I'd go to a family reuinion. lol.

Your new name is officially redneck 007.

I dont even have to go to a family reuinion I just gotta pick up the phone and call my sister....those are always fun conversations. I swear she was adopted, the devil himself left her at our front door 16 yrs ago.

Kinda know the feeling - my lil' sis has 2 boys and talk about out-of-control.... I was home for Thanksgiving last year and excused myself to go outside - Sis asks "you OK?" and i said "i'm going outside so that i resist smacking the crap out of AJ (her son)" - best part is that lil' sis will complain about how hard big sis and her hubby are on their boys (3).... but those 3 listen, and when you say enough, you quite often don't need to repeat yourself.... hmmmmm... lil' sis was the baby and a goody-two-shoes, so she didn't get to experience the benefits of an a$$-whooping, and boy does it show...
Lisa's shared some of her drama with me over the phone, and if there is an award for tolerance, we don't stand a chance, it's all hers.

Chris, unfortunately I think there are many of us who know exactly what you mean.

Thanks Brendan. There are some experiences that age you, and that was defintiely one of them. All I know is, I am officially done with helping people...else I'll need to rename myself "Matt" so everyone will stop wondering why people like to walk all over me.
Actually, Randy's dad has expressed a desire for Randy to take over the family biz, so if it all works out, we may be moving to the Omaha area. I told him if I can have a tractor, a barn, and 10 acres, I'm all his. I'm all about leaving the negativity behind.

I have 2 little sister probems. They're both left-wing wackos. I don't think I need to go any further than that. Do I?

Im the oldest and believe me Ive had my share of @$$ whooping, my sis gets away with everything unless shes dealing with me, I anit taking no lip from her, and she tests it everytime...never learns.
I was just messing with Lisa and I hope she doesnt take it the wrong way, I didnt mean it in a bad way just more of a stereo typical statment toward women as a joke. I dont know her too well so maybe that was an ignorant statment for me to make.

Chris you're fine, I didn't take it the wrong way. I knew you were joking. Brendan was just saying, based on what I have told him over the phone, that as I try to stay away from the drama, a good bit of it has managed to follow me around. Brendan sounds surprised he never saw me on the 5:00 news.

Im sure Im not the only one, but its not much fun
I dont know what your talking about but the barn, tractor, and 10 acres sounds nice. Just need a pond like Ricks

Ok just wanted to make that clear since its hard to show your expressions on here compared to in person. Im clearly missing something, but Im not sure I want to ask why you would have been on the news
Brendan sounds surprised he never saw me on the 5:00 news.
I don't think we'd see you on the news, unless it was for smoking mopeds!!! LOL!!! Others you've mentioned.... yeah, they almost sound "Springer-worthy".
We've never met in person, but from the posts here and chatting on the phone, Lisa's one of those people you instantly like and know you could trust. All to rare these days, unfortunately. Alot of the regulars here give the same impression, and with the threads like Jeremy's blown motor and others, the people here are just incredible. I'm honored to be a tiny part of it.

Yes yes I know I was being vague. Well here's the short of it: back in October, I bought my house. Right around that same time, my older sister took a job in Denver and moved here from Grand Junction. She owned a house in Grand Junction at the time, and was living with other relatives here in Denver and hating life...so I told her she and her family could live with me until they sold their house. She has a husband, a 1-year-old daughter, and three very large dogs.
We didn't really have a verbal agreement on bills and such, since she is family (and since I had promised my dad I would take care of the family), I basically just told her to help me as she was able, as she just kept telling me about how they were on hard times.
Well she stayed for 7 months, didn't sell her house because they were dead set on selling it for a bunch of money so they could buy all new funiture and a new car with the equity. They completely took over my house, screaming child and dogs run amuck... and only rarely would she help me with bills. Here I am, 25-years-old, in my first house, just barely making the mortgage and the INSANE utility bills (because of constant laundry, constant dishes, constant showers) and they are out to dinner every night, telling me all about how poor they are. I think I lived on raisin bran and top ramen. lol.
There are a lot of small details, that would make anyone go . But, finally in April I told them they had to go. She told my other sister just a few months after they moved out and bought a house that in the time she lived with me, she had managed to save over $10,000.
You think your sister is bad.
I apologize if this is all too personal of info for all of you, but Chris asked, and I thought it fair to at least let you in on what Brendan and I were discussing. I've moved past it, and looking forward to better things...now back to lighthearted conversation and tasteless jokes.
Did he find his missing duck? Not another word on the disappearing duck. One of those coonass neighbors of his probably put it in gumbo.
You may be right Mark. I think he kept seeing me watching him, and decided the best thing to do is leave. I just found out the duck is at my neighbors pond with some hens. Go figure. And I found out that the same neighbor has one of our roosters. Well, less to feed.
