I got a pretty decent surprise today

[adam_f]

I was in Target buying a pretzel and an icee when I see this guy who my sister used to date. We said hi and he said he was living outside of Chicago and was here to visit his family. Okay. Swell and all that. He then proceeds to tell me he hopes to see me at Easter this year, leaving me with a puzzled look, for I haven't seen this guy in five or six years. Then he asks "Why does that surprise you? I'm married to your sister. C'mon man. Get over this flying thing."

Huh.

I don't really get along with my sister. My older brother doesn't either. I did talk to her in November, and she told me she was still in Morgantown, West Virginia living with her friends. Lo and behold, she was in Target too, and we got to have a nice chat. She said she dislikes me so much that she had no intention of ever telling me, she just assumed someone would tell me. Not quite sure why she wouldn't tell me, really no reason not to in my mind, but I was kinda pissed. Especially when she told me that our parents were there with a 150 other people at the wedding, complete with instructions that no one tells me or my brother. That weekend I was in Philly with my brother helping him move back here. Could've rescheduled that.

Kinda weird. Wouldn't think this would need to be a secret, but I guess not.

[hpdrifter]

Wow, why does your sister dislike you so much?

I can't imagine feeling that way about a sibling. My sister will be my maid of honor at my wedding, no question.

I mean, there's a little bit of a difference between "don't get along" and
quite dislikes me so much that she didn't want to tell me"

[cookiepuss]

I just have one question....

do you go to Target just to pick up pretzels and Icees?

I go there on my lunch break. I suppose that is a trife odd.

[ASsman]

I say we drink to it. I to am having a splendid day/week. Nothing to compare that. But drink worthy nonetheless. *mixes some white russians* To life! And the people who make it wonder fucking ful !!

[hpdrifter]

I wish I worked near a target. I could take care of so much on my lunch break.

And they have such a good fountain soda selection.

yeah no wonder your sister doesn't like you. weirdo.

I'm kidding. seriously that sucks about you and your brother's relationship with your sis. :(

[ASsman]

On the same note. What a dumbass how would he not know you did not know of the marriage. Seriously who is this guy. He ain't coming over for white russians.

[adam_f]

I really couldn't care less. I'm just kinda angry that I didn't find out sooner. Maybe send them a Christmas card. Or a Hanukaeiuypioadfa card. He's Jewish.

[hpdrifter]

Yeah, he and his wife obviously don't talk much. I mean, I would notice if my fiance's immediate family didn't show up for our wedding.

[hpdrifter]

Seriously, though. How is it that you have such a terrible relationship with your own sister?

[adam_f]

I don't know. I broke her windshield once and blamed it on my neighbor. Maybe that's it. She started the feud, I just went along with it. Didn't think it was this extensive though

[jabumbo]

i bet their kid has a huge nose


and its not because that guy is jewish

[ASsman]

As you would with any other person. The only thing that is different is that you have had to put up with the same person for years. Like a marriage, there is not difference, just that as a culture we hold relatives in higher regard. Silly, if you ask me.

[DandyFop]

Yeah that is weird that she was keeping it all hush hush but then the husband just blurts it out?

How dumb and dramatic is it of her to try and keep that a secret though. She went out of her way to do that, and what about your parents? If my kids were doing that to each other, I'd be like "shut the fuck up, get over yourself, and tell your brother".

Weird.

[adam_f]

He does have a large schnozz.

Probably has nothing to do with his being jewish. His dad is probably the guy who played Al on Happy Days.

[Bob]

it's kind of a slap in the face that they'd invite your parents, but not you (although technically i guess they're her parents too). it must be hard on them to keep it a secret, too.

[hpdrifter]

Yeah, I never cease to be amazed at how some parents never stop parenting their children. My friend has 2 sisters and they're 29 (twins) and both of them are sporadically moving back in with the parents, the parents pay their bills, take care of their pets, and intervene when they bicker like 6 year olds. I don't have to see it but it annoys me just knowing that it happens.

[adam_f]

I don't know. I'm not even going to tell them I know out of spite. Word up.

[DandyFop]

Yeah that sounds like the solution. More conflict.

[hpdrifter]

I don't know. I broke her windshield once and blamed it on my neighbor. Maybe that's it. She started the feud, I just went along with it. Didn't think it was this extensive though

Thats not the cut you out of my life kind of thing, though. A broken windshield?

[adam_f]

[/windshield joke]

[Justin]

so was the pretzel good?

[adam_f]

How can a pretzel from Target NOT be good? Answer me that.

[DandyFop]

I really want a fuckin pretzel now.

Sorry, man.

ive never had one from there...but i have had pretzels in other stores like that and they are always to hard...i like the hot and mushy ones with lots of salt

[adam_f]

Targets preztzels are sent from Jesus to Dale the pretzel checkout guy. FedEx probably.

[DandyFop]

Sorry, man.

Pointless!

Why did you respond?

[rirv]

Pointless!

Why did you respond?

Because he gets transsexuals to make sushi rolls on his bald head.

[abcdefz]

....sometimes it's best to just listen and acknowledge what you've heard.

[cookiepuss]

Yeah, he and his wife obviously don't talk much. I mean, I would notice if my fiance's immediate family didn't show up for our wedding.

Maybe it's not even that..perhaps she didn't tell her man that she didn't invite her brothers and possibly lied to him and said "oh they can't make it" or "oh yeah those losers didn't even bother to show up."

or quite possibly she told her husband she wasn't inviting them but the hubby figured that by NOW they must have heard through the grapevine.




if I get married I plan to avoid all this type of crap, by eloping and only telling people after we're already married. I like the idea of having a ceremony with just me and my honey and a justice of peace, maybe one friend as a witness...or that lady that plays the organ in those little chapel o love type place could be the witness. yeah, no.... fuck witnesses. who needs em? I never did like that part about "if any one objects to this union."

[roosta]

wow...you're PARENTS where in on it too.?

[hpdrifter]

When I was engaged I wanted to just go to Vegas and get married in a Led Zeppelin t-shirt. We were a rock n roll couple, we were in a band together. I didn't see the problem.

He wanted to get married in a church. :rolleyes:

It didn't work out anyway.

[Jmoney77]

I felle bad for u :cool:

The older I get the more appealing this option is. Mostly because I can't stand most of my family and I don't want the bastids around! They'll just embarass me in front of my new hubby by acting like stereotypical rednecks. *sigh*

Gotta remember, they're my sister's parents too. I'm not harboring ill will towards them.

[ms.peachy]

Wow. I never know what to say when I come across a story about someone whose family is possibly weirder than mine.

[adam_f]

You could say 'WHAT THE DILLYO, PLAYA!'
