frequent fry her - birdy, 1 of 4 needed Frequent Fry Her TM - birdy, 1 of 4 needed/Posted: 8-DEC-06
Several hours ago I found out that my BIL was just committed.  What you need to know to understand a bit about my ILs is that under one big crazy roof, in a little three bedroom rented house, live my MIL, GMIL, BIL, SIL, her DH and their two heathen children.  These people can't pay their heating bill, but can somehow afford cartons of cigarettes.  So, you can imagine that it's quite eventful there from time to time.  Thankfully, they live an hour away from us.  My BIL called a while ago to speak with my DH, to tell us that he had just gotten into a fight with my SIL about her half of the rent.  She just took the two kids and left, but not before taking my MIL's, GMIL's, and BIL's share of the rent.  So, they were frantic.  They tried to call her, and she was obviously ignoring her phone.  They called the police.  When they arrived ( I think they have the address memorized by now, because they are over there so often), my BIL called back and was vowing not only to kill her, but himself, as well.  Mind you, he has at least two handguns and a rifle to back him up.  So, they took his guns, and then they took him to the hospital to be evaluated.  I personally think that the whole family needs to go, but I suppose that's just me.  But now MIL is on the phone crying about how DH needs to drive out there and somehow save the day once more.  The problem is that every time he tries to be the good guy and help, he ends up being the one in trouble.  It always gets turned around on him somehow, and then the police fill out a report on him.  So, I put my foot down and explained to him that they are grown ups, and they need to figure this out on their own.  There is nothing he can do for them at this point.  And besides, they are the type of family that can have a huge blowout one day, and all is forgotten the next.  So why bother?  I took the only car and went to my mother's.  I told DH to call me in case of a real emergency.  It's not that I don't think they need the help, I just think at this point we are the wrong people to help them.  Am I the one that's in the wrong?

It never ceases to amaze me how self-absorbed my MIL is.  It is like she just cannot comprehend other people having lives, and certainly they don't have significant events in their lives, like she does.  A prime example happened this week.  There was a tornado in a nearby area, which caused major damage to homes and injured a number of people.  MIL had to take FIL for an outpatient appointment that afternoon, and she has been telling everyone that she was caught in the tornado.  Well, the tornado actually happened a couple of miles away from where she was, and it happened in the morning, nearly 3 hours before she drove near there.  So, she was actually several miles away from it, and in no danger whatsoever.  She told us about her ordeal and about the tornado this morning (as if we couldn't possibly have known about it, even though it was on every news bulletin and in every newspaper in the country, and EVERYBODY over here knows about it).  What did she think, it was only on HER radio and TV?

Worst gift:  A big, chunky, ugly bracelet made of yellow shells.  It cut off my circulation and constricted my wrist, and the dye rubbed off onto my skin.
