Wouldn't ALLOW her to return?!??!! Who's name is on the lease? Gotta say one slap from that loser and his butt would have been reported with a restraining order. Sorry for getting so riled, but sure as I'm sitting here, unless it was only his name on the lease, it wouldn't have been *ME* looking for a new place to live.
EDIT: And even if it was his house, couldn't she have gotten a LE escort to retrieve her things?
Kate: The house they lived in belonged to his family and was given to him. I am pretty sure he is an only child. My sister-in-law used to call him a spoiled brat. She never insisted on her name being put on the house and probably couldn’t care less with being a millionaire a few times over herself. I know what you’re thinking and I would agree that at times, she too acts like a spoiled brat. She eventually did get her things returned and allowed him to keep the furnishings. I would imagine his mommy and daddy are now his ATM machine.
She is a very sweet and kind person, but somewhat naive. She believes everyone wants to be her friend, but certainly not good at choosing men. This is her third marriage at being 46 years old. She was a mid-life baby. Maybe that has something to do with her being naive. (No offense intended to anyone.) We went to dinner one night before going to a concert. Her second husband forgot his wallet, or so he said. I picked up the $180 check.
He said he would pay me back the next day. I guess he meant the next year. That’s when he paid me what he owed. When he paid me, we were outside walking into the theater and he handed me 5-$20 bills. Right there beside us was a bucket for donations for some charity. I have no idea what the charity was, but I dropped the 5-$20 bills into the kettle. I thought he was going to stick his hand in and grab it back, but he didn’t. I could see the veins in his neck becoming enlarged. I kind of smiled.
Oh, yeah. My wife’s side of our marriage is an interesting lot. They keep me on my toes. Some things are funny as all get out. Other things, not so funny. My wife’s dad was arrested one time for throwing litter on the street. There was a trash can right beside him. I asked him why doesn’t he pick up his trash and throw it in the can. He waved me off and said ahhh. Less than a minute later, a cop shows up and approaches her dad and tells him he’s going to be arrested for littering.
Dad asked how much was the fine. The cop said the sign was right above him, it’s 500 bucks. Dad said OK, give me the ticket. The cop did as told. The cop told him not to liter again. We walked into the theater and my wife asked if we should buy something. I asked her what would she like. She said she didn’t know, but maybe some popcorn later on and a Diet Coke with no ice and another cup with only ice.
The kid behind the counter said he couldn’t do that. I asked why. He said because he doesn’t have a code to put in the system for the price of a cup of ice. I told my wife the kid can’t do it. She said OK, we don’t need it anyway. I’m (me) getting a headache.
I live a strange life at times. Don’t get me wrong, my wife’s in laws are very good and giving people. They all mean well. It’s the people that the kids marry and bring into the family that causes things to go amuck at times. There are five kids in the family. There was six until about 30 or so years ago when the one daughter was stabbed to death by her ex-husband at the time. The man that stabbed her received the death penalty and sat on death row for years. He got the DP because he also raped and sodomized her. I was told the judge was furious during sentencing because the ex husband stood before the judge smiling. His sentence has since been commuted to life without parole.
I could easily write a book talking about the family’s escapades.
I apologize for the long post. I tried to write it so to be interesting and keep the readers’ attention. Believe me, I got some real whoppers of stories to share about this family. Nothing that would irritate or embarrass my in laws. They are good, decent people, but some of the stories are funny.
