Bizarre that you call your own son "her brother." Why are YOU estranged from your son?

In Reply to: Should I just quit answering the phone at all? - How to say it
If you have TOLD your own children that they "will never know you" then how can you expect them to know you?
You're actually considering disconnecting the phone because your own daughter made an incorrect assumption about you? You're going to estrange yourself from her, too?
You have so much more to deal with than you realize.

Despite "HER" being gone, banning is still ongoing here.
True but they were estranged and it makes sense - sm
that AN would want to be with her child; not with the Smith family in TX because her mother (who she reportedly hated) wanted her in her home town (probably for appearance sake and one last jab to get her way with her own daughter, which is pretty pathetic). The mom has said that years ago she had said she wanted to be buried near MM in CA, so if that is the case why push to bury her in TX? (if she was really interested in doing what her daughter wished?) Kind of contradicts everything don't ya think? They say she is going to try to get her exumed and taken back to TX for reburial, which again I think is a horrible thing to do. Let her body be. I find it hard to believe the mom would be visiting the grave that often in TX. I really believe she is just doing it for (1) the publicity, (2) the appearance of doing what she believes others think a "mom" would do, (3) just to be one last thorn in her daughter's side. Because of all her grandstanding they could not even have an open casket since the body had decayed so much in all the legal wrangling crap. Total morons, all of them.
I have a great brother like that too! I love my Big Brother!
Enjoy the love!
I have an older brother and younger brother
and I was a terrible handful, especially during high school compared to my brothers.
Sure it's bizarre
But I would think people in a stable relationship would not cheat in the situation of dancing together just as they would not cheat in the situation of placing catheters. (LOL--I'm weird!) It's all done for the paycheck at the end. If someone leaves their spouse or boy/girlfriend because they are dancing together and cannot look past the job function, then it is the problem with the person, not a problem with the dancing itself.
My weird comparison is merely that it's the people with the problem, not the dancing situation (or other intimate situations).
I'm sure they WILL - it happens to less-bizarre
Every time that woman opens her mouth, she just digs herself in deeper, in terms of the possibility that the state will find her an unfit mother. Those babies are going to need a LOT of care, something Octo doesn't even seem to be able to do for herself, let alone anyone else.
his head IS very very bizarre
I also noticed this. I have never seen anything like it in my life! It almost looks like part of his skull is gone. I kept staring yet didn't want to look, if you know what I mean!
bizarre what mine got up to
I left him because he told me he was "gay" (among other reasons). He proceeded to throw himself into a gay lifestyle for a few years, then changed his mind and married a Korean lady who spoke little English and didn't drive. They had a child. Then he changed his mind again and decided he needed a sex change. She divorced him and he lost his visitation rights. Today he's living with a man who doesn't know he wasn't born a woman. Its disgusting he felt it was OK to mess up so many lives with deceptions on his path of self-discovery.
Mothman is bizarre! Kept me awake a while! (sm)
Had never heard of it until the post and then after the responses yesterday I looked it up and read about it. Also read about the cornstalk curse that is supposed to have been placed over the area by an Indian chief who was wrongly killed - Kept me awake a little while once I was in my dark room!! LOL!
It's bizarre regardless of her reasoning. Wonder what else he's hiding?

Whaaat? That's pretty bizarre. And why would
It's a perfectly civil conversation about different beliefs. Unless you think that a thread that doesn't follow strict Christian philosophy would automatically be deleted from MT Stars?
Me too! SNL and Bizarre on HBO. Now THAT was naughty! Good times.. nm
Husband did a bizarre thing - may be offensive so
Everyone was getting ready for school and work this morning, hustle and bustle about the house....I open the door to our room and my husband is right there, door unlocked, using my underwear as a catcher's mitt! He had gotten my clean underwear out of the drawer. We have been having some marital problems and have talked of divorce. I am kind of freaked out. Does this mean he misses me? Does it mean he likes getting away with something right under my nose? Why would he do it at that time of the morning with everyone walking around and the door unlocked? Am I just being naive?
I have the best brother ever!
Tonight my brother called, said he loved me and he knew I was struggling to catch up after being laid off and would I accept his gift to help me catch back up.  I love my family.  It isn't like he has money to spare really but he got a really nice bonus and wanted to share it with me.
My brother and I also won sm
a Halloween costume competition when we were little. He for my original costume (He was a hobo)and me for prettiest costume (me, what else, a princess)My mom was a whiz with the sewing machine. Funniest thing, We had the same last name as the anme of the department store that sponsered the competition. I assure you we were in no way related, but I bet no one else belived it.
Big Brother
Did anyone watch Big Brother last night? Did you think Julie Chen looked awfully skinny. I did not think she looked good at all.
Big Brother
Who out there watches Big Brother? What is wrong with everyone this season? They all seem so emotional. It is so funny to watch. No one gets along. Can't stand Jen.
Oh brother!
a
My brother's got one. They ALWAYS
Why not put $500.00 away in a bank account and then take long weekends or splurge on a huge trip? I don't see where you're saving money really, plus someone's padding their pocket somewhere. :(
My brother
was a wild one when he was 15, hung out with an older crowd and so on. But he straightened out in his early 20s when most guys his age were still barhopping. He ended up getting his GED and now he is a Fire Capt. I think some kids go through those wild years a little earlier than others. I would not be comfortable with him hanging out with a 23-year-old though. Makes you wonder what the older guy's motivation is hanging out with a young teenager. Good luck.
Big Brother
Is anyone out there as disgusted with the results of Big Brother this year? I cannot even watch the last one because it will make me physically sick to see either Daniele or Evel win. Daniele is the biggest baby I have ever seen and Evel is the meanest person I think I have ever seen.
Big Brother
Oh, I was disgusted with how it turned out last night. I bet there are a lot of people out there that feel the same way. I won't have to worry about missing the next show.
Big Brother
I love ED.. He is just being realistic. You do what you gotta do when you are in a game like that. It always amazes me why people get their feelings hurt.. They are there to win the money and that is simply all. Waste of time otherwise. I am glad he won.. of course, his daughter will get the money because of the hate people feel for him... The truth hurts sometimes.
O Brother
Whatta day it's been

O Brother
I glad you enjoyed it....
brother
I'm glad your brother seems to be getting his life together. . my ex was always a wonderful father - that is how I knew the drugs had finally taken over - when our daughter needed medical tests done - lost health insurance when he quit his job - and I BEGGED him to do something to get some money so she could have her tests done. . he did nothing. . I filed for divorce right after that. . he would never even admit he was on drugs. . if he had, we could have tried to get help maybe. .
i could have had his brother - nm

Well, at least not as bad as his gay brother
who has his own porn site, it is called Kitty-Porn. When husband not at home this furry is on hub's computer setting up, shall we say meetings. I would not have known had it not been for my husband telling me he had extra charges on his cell from someone named Romeo, that is when he found out about the gay site fatcat's brother is running. I tell you, these kids now days. They will be the death of me yet!
Through my brother...
and have only been apart when truly necessary!
Oh brother!
This is a 16-year-old you are talking about??? You seem awfully involved in the drama of highschool life. Don't teach him to be concerned about what some snotty girl is doing. Tell him to decide what he wants to do for his B-day and get over it. When he is 35, he will either remember a birthday spent worrying about someone whose name he can't recall, or that he had a really great birthday with friends that were true friends. His choice! This is hardly the end of the world.
My brother is ................. sm
smoking some sausage, ribs, etc., for dinner and we are making potato salad and beans and trimmings to go along with it. He doesn't do this too often, so we are looking forward to a different Easter dinner this year!
Great Brother!
He is very special. Can't be he's married to someone who resents his having much to do with his sister, only sibling.
I am in NJ and worry about my brother-in-law
even though the fires are not near him, things can change if those winds do not stop soon. I wish the best for your friend. Yes, everyone's spirits out there seem to be good. They go through so much with these fires and earthquakes. I believe that is what gives them the strength to deal with these disasters when they happen.
Just to clarify - the brother that my son
lives 30 miles East of my parents. He does not visit, call, he is better than the rest of the family. Read my recent post above in regards to being a future felon. Yes, life is too short now isn't it?
Don't get walnut. My brother did,
and it's not as hard as it sounds like it would be. Cherry is very hard. which is why it is so popular.
I just have WilsonArt (like Pergo), and I got a medium tone. I don't like the color. It is too dull brown. I wish I had gotten something more interesting and dramatic, like light or dark or at least the honey shade I planned on, but I got a good deal on this color, and now I regret the color, but not the product.
Hardwood is better for resale value in many places, and does look better IF you can take care of it. WilsonArt, on the other hand, is indestructable, so it holds up better for rough use.
Another consideration you didn't mention is if you are getting flat boards or the ones with a little edge on them or other texture. I've seen wide planks that had an interesting effect that was very rustic looking. I'm sure any sort of texture would collect dirt, but if you are going to vacuum frequently anyway, the textures/shaped boards look fabulous to me.
Try to see as many pictures and even completed rooms as possible before you decide.
Big brother needs to be careful
I sincerely hope your son didn't run wants/warrants, DL, car registration, LEADS or anything else on sis's boyfriend. My sister is a deputy sheriff, and if she did anything like that for a personal reason, the sheriff would have her badge in about 2 seconds flat. That is a major no-no and one of the first things they learn if they work in the radio room.
My brother has quite a few Boxers
They are so funny! 
We'll probably go to my brother's
He also has 5 boxer dogs that the kids love to play with. I'll probably take some chili cheese dip or some chicken wings; it's hard to tell what I'll come up. Him and his wife are on a diet, so I don't want to bring too much of that kind of stuff. Maybe I'll make a salad! 
Big brother in action again
What happened to freedom of choice? When did what we do off the clock become everyone's business, and when did we, the workers, agree we need some authority with a conflict of interest to police everyone's health for their own good?
So what's next - we all have no health insurance eventually because some greedy insurer decides something we do is a risk? In this profession in particular, they could look to disqualify us for being overweight, or the likelihood of carpal tunnel, or any of the other problems that come from being chained to a keyboard the majority of the time.
On the other hand, some politicians introduce platforms aimed to force us to buy insurance. But what if you are disqualified by the almighty insurers? You can't make everybody get insurance if more and more people are refused insurance due to risk. Something has got to give here, and the madness must stop.
Best of luck to your brother...sm
I am glad he is getting this checked out and that they moved the stress test up. The sooner they figure out what's going on, the sooner he can treat it and at least get that stress out of the way. Let us know how things go.
My brother has 6 boxers.
They don't bite, but they do jump and they wag their tales hard. They are natural lickers (kissers), in my opinion. All we say the whole time we visit is "GIIITTT" because when one is done jumping and kissing/licking, here comes the next one...
My brother has done the same as you and she doesn't get it at all (sm)
He has not been to see her in 5 years and has a one-year-old baby she has never even seen, plus older children she has not seen in 5 years. To this day she thinks it is because his wife has turned him against her. She still doesn't understand that she did anything wrong.
My brother has has Boxers and he took
How about the surgery was $6,000.00 and the PT was $125.00 a visit for about 8 weeks. Only the best for his dogs. Now, he's contemplating putting him down because he still can't walk.
The other one had pancreatic cancer and surgery and just had an eye removed due to cataracts. This totals you guys are giving aren't even close to what he's put out.
It's a shame these vets charge so much.
Dear brother:
Please make some attempt to pay back what you owe me. Your lack of effort and acknowledgment is doing far more damage than just making me poor.

Met at my brother's wedding.
That your brother was your stepbrother
and your mother was your stepmother, I realized it immediately, because you called them 'his son' and 'his wife', was the reason that you did not help locatiang your stepbrother's children, so that they can get their shares?
Strange, strange! This equals indicency. Did you really not know their whereabouts or did you never want to know?
Oh brother, get a life.
and really, just mocking herself. People who can make fun of themselves are more mature than those who are too high and mighty and stuffy to do so. By the way, I'm not a Megan fan, I just don't see anything wrong with her having a little fun at her own expense if she so chooses.
My brother was "babied" like this ... sm
and now he's 45, unemployed, and lives with my 76-year-old mother who basically supports them both with only her Social Security check.
Please, teach your daughter the RIGHT way. Some day (hopefully) she'll thank you for it.
My brother was also babied ..
It was like my mom wanted to spare him from "wanting" and anything he desired, he soon had. As he got older, he "desired" not to go to school in 11th grade and I watched in astonishment as my mother allowed him to sleep all day. When his class was graduated a year later, he was clearly upset that he had quit and ten years later, a GED. All because my mom had it in her mind not to let her little boy feel frustration.
And she kept it up, funding every whim he had, businesses, vehicles, advertising, huge chunks of money that she would get from inheritance or what, she'd pass immediately to him as a loan which he never repaid her and left her to live on SS when she was too old to work.
Well, three marriages and 30 years later, 6 months after my mother's death, (she was his troubleshooter, problem solver, biggest fan and enabler), my brother took his life at the age of 51.
All I believe we wanted was a sound healthy routine and maybe praise for confidence and a stress-free home with a mom and dad who actually enjoy each other (who here loves to hear their mom and dad laugh? Is that the greatest sound or what?).
So yeah, I'd let her quit things as she will discovery talents in areas and find other projects not her cup of tea but the best thing is to let her use her own mind to figure out how to deal with life's problems - a resourceful mind and a sound routine can get us through the worst of times.
Good look with your daughter. I am sure she is a darling.
Both my brother and sister met their spouses this way.
Couldn't tell you the names of the sites they used though. Seems like a good way to meet people these days!
My brother told me that he watched my Mom
when they got married, so they would never get a divorce. Yeah, he said when you get married, they give you two divorce tickets that if torn up, can't be used!!! I believed him, and no, my parents never divorced!!!
