Morning all you people without a president


just some snoring sleeping bastard in the wht hse
 
Just might be a good thing to do.
Thanks for not useing a capital b......... I refuse to !



So sorry to hear this, were they close?
I have dozens and dozen of cousins, but I only stay/have contact with two.
We were all close at one time. My relatives had monthly get-togethers for years. My grandmother had 13 kids, so lots of we cousins
 
There were 9 siblings in my mothers family and 7 in my fathers, one aunt on my mothers side had 8 kids!

I recall a listing of them at 53 First cousins....
 
I dont have a big family and the ones I have don't talk to me because I'm conservative or because they think it was impossible that I worked for what I have today. I have a different mentality than them. We were the only ones that grew up dirt floor poor so we were the outcasts when we were young and now I have far out succeeded them but I haven't forgotten where I came from so they still can't relate. They tried a few years back when my business was doing good to invite me to their circle but I was still to redneck and backwoods for them. We are now mostly shunned and I like it that way
 
Out of all of the related 'family' I haven't seen a one in probably 20+ years or better, any of them. Most I have never seen or ever known,
I left home when I just turned 17 and really haven't looked back nor wanted to. I have one cousin that contacted me by email 7-8 years ago and we just say Hi about every six months or so.
My immediate family, Twin sister was killed at 5 years old, Father gone in '68, Mother about 8 years ago and my only younger Brother about five years ago... So for me, no 'family'...
 
How did your twin sister die?

On a motorcycle ride with my father july 1953, the cycle was his brothers, my Uncle John. The asshole had her sitting in front of him on the seat, a minor crash is all it took. I hated him from then on, we never got along after that, and why I left when I turned 17.


can you say VERY disfunctional family



( I guess this is one of those things, if you dont want to know, don't ask or TMI... Don't worry, doesn't bother me I'll answer most anything)

I'm sorry to hear this. After posting i thought that is none of my business, and apologies go out to you.
No apologies needed at all, It's just life and thats the way it is, I'm not a sensitive person at all.

In fact I pretty well stopped having most feelings in the late 60s early 70s.

I know how it is. My mother died mid 80's on the day before my birthday My father a couple years later, A brother the year after that. My sister lives two blocks from me and I see her about twice a year. For years I worked 16 hour days, 6-7 days a week, while some of my cousins lived on welfare.
 
I've been told I dont have feelings. They are mostly right. I just know death is part of life. Only really cried once, that was when mom died. She taught me everything I know. She was more of a man then most men could dream of. Did construction, knew her way around a knife, worked hard and didn't take any shit.

I'm trying to stop working 16 hour days because life is short.

The last 10 years I worked. I cut back to 5 days a week and working by myself. When I had a helper it seemed I had to make three times as much instead of twice as much. That way I could spend time with my kids too.

Even now with three employees i find myself working for them and not for me. I dont need to make the money thry do. I can afford a few days off

I spent a lot more time with my younger kids and we are a lot closer.
 
I sure am glad I'm retired and don't have to deal with ANY of this crap.
