The Syndicate

I've heard that too. Some specific someone's had a pretty fantastic weekend.

I've heard that a specific someone had to go through like 1000000000000000 metric tons of tape to get to teh goods.

Congrats!! Also, splints and keys just got married

Lol, so true Bea. He did a great job lying about it though. And I tried repeatedly to get him to open it instead of me. He kept insisting I should open it, Lol. And it was so very Alex. He couldn't wait for really elaborate plans. He just rushed in the door and did it immediately. I love it tbqh.

Yes - it was awesome reading Alex tell me about it because I can just picture him being all .....well....Alex about the whole thing.

Alex proposing to me? Eh...not worth the effort.

Senior Attorney with the Department of Business and Professional Regulation -- I'm officially becoming Leslie Knope!

I heard it was months in the making. I'm pleased as punch to hear about this news, A&A!

This is a picture of ponies in sweaters. MOST RANDOM THING EVER??

Shetland has good ponies and sweaters.

I need to be there, with the ponies & sweaters & the ponies in sweaters.

*Falls over & dies*

I love that photo!

Oh I live in Tallahassee now. It's weird. I drove all around Capital Circle last night and accidentally ended up in Georgia. I pulled over to a random gas station and asked a police officer: "Excuse me, Officer? Can you corroborate that I'm in Georgia?"

Then I got back in my car and MattMatt looked up directions. Last time I'm ever spontaneous, I tell you what.

Omg ture. Also, I love it. My lil internet fairy.

I am doing a Ropes Course tomorrow. I won't die, right?

Probably not.

well, that was a strangely and unpredictably straightforward answer.

I think it is the obvious one. The only thing you'll be dying from is the desire to go back.

Just make sure you don't get rope BURN! Ahahaahaha! Get it? Because it is a ropes course!

I don't get it at all. Maybe you can explain it a better way?

Aww Matty, you and your puns.

I like H. L. Mencken.

Hello friends! What goes on in this place? It's nice not to have to write all green over here

This is the random/chat thread, hi there!

Welcome to OT land, where you don't have to worry about everyone scrutinizing and overanalyzing everything that you say & do.

What do you mean by that?!

I'm here often as a chatty creature.

Today I made coffee for the office because they like it when I do it and I like making things for people.

come here and make me coffee....i NEED IT!!! AND I'M TIRED AND I DON'T HAVE THE ENERGY TO MAKE IT MYSELF AND BDH HAS MANY WONDERFUL QUALITIES BUT COFFEE MAKING ISNOT ONE OF THEM. HEEEEEEEEELLLLPPPPPP!!!!!

My stepmother is only 10years older than I, and she has insinuated her kids so much into my Dads life. She had a hissy fit that my brother asked for some jewelry that had belonged to our grandfather, she felt that her son, who likes jewelry, would have gotten them. WTF?

I hate family tensions over stuff I also hate (I hate admitting this, but it's true) greedy stepparents.

Out of curiousity, how long have they been a part of the family? keys recently had a similar issue with his aunt and cousins taking everything of his grandparents, so I know he'd feel you and your brothers pain. I hate greediness. Especially in a situation like this because it should be about wanting a memento to remember by not about wanting it for the monetary value.
My siblings and cousins were probably mad at me when my grandmother died I got her favorite jewelry and I am one of the youngest, but I also took care of her.

I feel the same as Mandi.
Tbh your brother shouldn't have even felt the need to ask for something that belongs "in family". If the step-brother had taken care of your Grandfather or was his bestest friend - then maybe, otherwise they should butt their greedy noses out of business that does not apply to them.

I know the cross necklace my Grandmother had set aside for me is my most precious possession I own - its not worth crap but the sentimental value is astronomical.

Also your Step-Mommy sounds like a real - rhymes with witch.

My Dad is still alive, he never wears the stuff, so Joe asked for it. Perhaps it was the way he asked for it, "So it will stay in the family", with "that" tone. My brother could never play Mafia, he can't sugarcoat things, and has never had any desire to do so.

Diane has her good points, and one of them is that she is an awesome mother, she loves her kids with a huge passion, and would fight to the death for them. Them, lol. They have been married 15 or 16 years, I want to say. Together for a few before that.

One good thing, this has started the will discussion. He is understanding that writing a detailed will with specific bequests of "things" not just $$ might be a good idea. He just had the simple will, and told us that he trusted Diane to do the "right thing". This thing kinda opened his eyes a bit.

I HAVE to put this somewhere....it is too damn cute not to!

Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm warned us about Wicked Stepmothers centuries ago. Their words remain as true today as ever.

Diggz's grandparents have stickers on the backs of EVERTYTHING in their homes with names on them. It's who they want to get what when they die.

I'm not even joking. It's absurd and brilliant at the same time.

China cabnets, Jewlery, pictures, the recepie box, everything.

and by homes I ment home. Geeze, You'd think 3/4ths of a pot of coffee would be enough. You'd think incorectly.

My grandma did that for some stuff, although my mom ultimately ended up with most stuff anyway.
