Hmpf. Which one is the normal-ish brother in the pecking order?

Thinking you'll rise from the dead when he needs something some day.
Bro #1 is my fave - currently lives with Bro #3 since he and his wife (my cleaning lady) split in June 2013.
Bro #2 is the addict - separated from BFF/SIL, Tammy.
Bro #3 is the baby I thought was mine. The niece (2012) and the nephew (2013) that Tammy and I took to Disney belong to him. He used to be my fave, but we are faaaaaaar too much alike - especially in our negative attributes!

I'd be interested to know what you think about The Connolly, a condo being built in nearby Hamilton. It's front, is a beautiful historical church, with a 30-storey glass condo attached/behind it.

See this all the time in DT Chicago. Got to love the Old Water Tower that survived the Great Chicago Fire and the John Hancock Building smashed up against the Water Tower Place Mall. :cautious: Zoning down on the Mag Mile never seemed to have parameters.

So #3 is the normal-ish one I must be thinking of....non needing money from Sis, wife, family???? Helpful to other brother dude?

Bro #1 is normal (ish). He suffered a devastating car accident almost 20 years ago, and each year his disabilies get worse. With the help of medical marijuana, he has weaned himself off of all of the other pseudo-heroine opiates.
You all know how I feel about recreational drug use; but used correctly, I do believe that marijuana deserves a place on a doctor's Rx pad. It's certainly less destructive than fentanyl, oxy's, percs, and dilaudid. Thankfully, doctors up here are pulling away from routinely prescribing these other highly addictive pain killers.

Bro #2 is a troubled soul. Much more so since his marriage ended and my mom died. I am just so sad for him, but as I told you in January, I am done bailing him out. No more rent money - not even cash for food. Every time I buy him groceries, that just frees up money for him to buy more drugs.
I bailed him out one final time, only to clear my conscience.
Fingers still crossed he ends up in jail, rather than the morgue.

And of course Bro #3 is normal. I already told ya, he's just like me. Warts and all. :hilarious:

Yeah we all have our warts. As I said before conscience or not it is on him. It doesn't stop the hurt or pain for you but you have been a good Sis and now it is up to him. Death is hard for us all, we love our parents, our grandparents but eventually we get a grip on it, many of us through faith rather than an excuse for spiraling out of control. The ones I have such empathy for is those who loose a child. I can't wrap my brain around that.

I agree with the Marijuana thoughts though for your brother. It is so proven yet we here have been so slow to acknowledge the medical aspects due to the hippie generation of recreational use. I'm torn about the use for recreational use because I'm known to have wine now and then....not sure of the overall difference never playing with drugs myself but really have come to be a believer in the many uses for the drug for medical reasons. My state has been forced into complying with medical marijuana this past year and have made a total mess of the medical licencing breaking their own regulations. Nutty peeps.

I looove leftover fried spaghetti.
Pizza, we reheat in the toaster oven. I've never thought of plopping it in the frypan.

The crust comes out nice and crisp in Frying Pan. We were in a pizzeria when a waitress told us how to properly reheat pizza, being the closest version to how the crust was baked the first time around. She was also the same lady who nixed the idea of rewarming our Spaghetti in the micro.

@StarWarsGirl95 - are you home yet?
Sorry you're having a carppy day, but just remember ... "Some days are like that. Even in Australia".
Got home about 20 minutes ago. This has been one big epic fail. After the tow truck broke down (it's been one of those days), we told security what was going on. Then I went in the school of business and found a custodian, who gave us trash bags, so the window and most of the inside is covered. Car is still at school. It's right in view of a security camera. Security said they will keep an eye on it and clear the snow off of it if it starts accumulating. And they won't ticket me for not having my hangtag. Since the window is open, they didn't want someone reaching in and stealing it.

Maybe we should turn on Alexander during the snow day tomorrow.

C'mon though - did you buy Jennifer Garner being married to Steve Carell?
IRL, she's married to Ben-flipping-Affleck!

wow.. AAA seems to be making mistakes after mistakes :/
We're thinking of canceling our membership. Because the first time we used them, they towed the car to the wrong repair shop. Then the second time, they rescued me with a flat tire. No issues, they were there in 45 minutes, and they told me that the tire rim was damaged, which was helpful.

This time...ugh
