So uhhhhh, what business is he going to start? What money is he going to buy the land and house with? What money will he start the business with?

Have you tried to buy the gas stove back from whoever they sold it to? If you buy a stove it's gotta be as close to the old one as you can get.

It's pretty old. I just cant afford to replace it right now. Worked like a champ right until noon. I def. got my moneys worth, but the timing if terrible. 2 weeks from now I'd probably not need it until next spring.

I have a window unit in the 'computer room' it's cheaper than trying to cool the entire house to make that one room comfortable. When the main unit goes down I put out box fans and redneck engineer forced air through the house. Window unit is 12K Btu but it can make the house livable at least. The way this year is going Mur Mur I am not so sure you won't need it in 2 weeks. It was 103 this afternoon when we came back from dinner. I'm just 'over the hump' from you.

My mother is a stubborn woman insistent on living in her house if there is ANY way. Right now they're managing, like I said I'm about to drop a cheap stove in there to solve this problem. And as much as I bitch, my sister does care about mom and watches over her, helps her around the house, organizes all her medications, cleans the house, etc....

It's just anything involving money they're a negative impact player on.

There's a part of me that feels almost guilty because I have the money to make things easy on them, I make decent money and funding them doesn't honestly put a big financial strain or anything on me. And if it was just my sister I'd be doing it without thinking. But so long as she has a useless bump on a log of a husband I'm pissed that he hasn't managed to at least FEIGN at being a "man of the house".

Hell, as I said if my mom wasn't so stubborn she could be living with me and my wife right now.

At least my grandmother was smart (at the advice of my grandfather) and put the house in a trust with my mom, my uncle Danny (who is my one reasonably responsible uncle) and me listed as the beneficiaries as to protect it from bad financial decisions like "let's just take out mortgages on the family house!". My uncle Danny has already said he plans on just eventually signing over his part of it to me since I handle and take care of everything, and I'm my mom's legal P.O.A. so in theory I "control" the house at this point.

And the lump on a log a few days ago, when I was over there, and he and I were outside just openly said "Well, once your mom is gone, your sister and I are going to move back to Tennessee and buy land, build a house, and I'm going to start a business". I was torn between laughing at his thoughts that he'd be able to do any of that, and wanting to kick his ass over just openly planning on my mom's death.

Sorry for all the walls of text, it's been a long week and this is the place my brain decided to core dump.

Damn man that totally sucks. If you want to buy a truck I got a shithead sales manager that can call you. Ok just trying to be funny.

As far as the stubbornness, old peeps get weird about shit like that. We all have that to look forward to. My mom who lived alone , wanted to continue to live alone and die in her house. She lived in Eastern NC, my brother who was closest , lives 4 hours away. We tried to get her to move in with one of us but Nope. Sadly - thankfully? - wtf ever way , she passed before she was out of rehab.

If we lived close I'd come over and bring beer. family is a curse sometimes.

I won't even call it weird. I completely see why she wants to live there until she dies. She's spent the majority of her life (childhood, then from around 50 on, now in her 70's) there. Also, Alzheimer's is the demon that hunts my family, both her parents (my grandparents) were suffering from it when they died, it's starting to show up in her. She'll have clear days, and not so clear days. And one thing I remember from helping with my grandparents as they slipped away was being around familiar surroundings is key to keeping a steady state and maximizing "good days".

Sorry man that's a rough situation. But if you buy them a stove, what's to stop them from selling THAT to scrappers too?

I hate people trying to mooch off society. Double disability!!!!111 ..sigh Glad they said no to the booze addiction "disability", now we just need to stop doing that for super obese peoples :p

I was going to take a picture but i'm too lazy.

I'm offshore staying in a 4 man room. There's tape on the shower wall with a hand written note "Leave shower curtain like this" And I'm like, LIKE WHAT? JFC you take the time to make a hand written note and you can't describe better how you want the fucking shower curtain left? I've seen it left in 3 different positions and I'm 99.9% sure none of them are what the sign writer wanted.

Meaningless signs piss me off and they're everywhere out here.

Yes. Netflix is the worst because they're randomly in the middle of what you're watching. Paramount, Amazon etc are at least at the start so your movie isn't randomly interrupted.

I don't pay for any of this so cant really tell Netflix to fuck off. I did that a while ago.

I connect my main TV to an old gaming laptop. Firefox plus uBlock origins removes ads from Prime Video and Youtube no problem. I'm not sure if 4k works in the browser though for Prime... but it looks nice still /shrug

I got rid of a shitty old dresser because the woman said we didn't need it. Then she ordered a new one the next day. I just finished putting that cocksucker together. Took me 3 fucking hours. I've never seen a piece of furniture with so many godamn parts.

Should have built one or told her to go fish the old one out of the landfill.

So Thursday was my granddaughter's birthday, so as a family we went to a restaurant of her choosing and she wanted a Ramen bar.
I have never been to a ramen bar, in fact the only ramen I have ever had is the Maruchan crap you buy at walmart.
They were charging 20 mother fucking goddamn dollars for a bowl of soup! The worst thing is that it wasn't even much better than the store bought stuff which I can buy for 3 dollars a box (12 count).
