O/T Lasagna and Stupidity

thinkthrice's picture

So I made a classic lasagna the other night which turned out perfect if I do say so myself.  If there is one thing I can't stand it is watery lasagna but I digress.  Chef is half Italian and half German and I am French Canadian so I don't really hanker for lasagna very often-- I mostly made it for him as I'm trying to get him to stop cooking and taking over the kitchen again.

"The Mechanic" Gets Engaged to BM2

Ladies and gentlemen start your popcorn!  Chef's nephew, the Mechanic, who is the adult son of Mr Not So Neutral, and who promised to rebuild Chef's vintage vehicle in exchange for a brand new fancy heating system has gotten engaged to party girl BM2.

We haven't seen hide nor hair of either of them since Chef put in that huge, top of the line heating system for them in their garage for free.  Crickets about the vintage vehicle as well.   Most of the vintage vehicle parts remain cluttered up in my garage so they haven't so much as touched one bolt on it I'm sure.

Stood up to NPD Chef!

So as he was dictating invoices, apparently I made a mistake by charging this extremely cheap woman / slumlord with more money than God a standard service call.  I have never met this woman but she must be good looking because Chef cuts her all kinds of breaks on her bills.  

Anyway she got the invoice and wrote back in the email that it's not her invoice because she thought putting in two whole new air conditioner parts would be free for her including the refrigerant which is very expensive.

My Mother Passed

Last week at age 89.  She led a permanently depressed life mostly, IMO, due to being confined to the role the cult assigned to her.   Absolutely nothing physically wrong with her no health issues nor disease . My younger sister, being an only child (well that's what it felt like as she was the golden child) has made a great deal of mourning posts on social media.   

Of course she was always seen as the "loyal" child having not officially left the cult as I had.  Even though she has no intentions of rejoining and was much more "sinful" in her life than I have been.  

Speaking of Getting Fired

Looks as though the  HousesHitter (YSS21) has lost his job at the local branch of a  global manufacturing plant.

His social media included his job title and this company for some months now and all of a sudden it was taken down with no replacement.   

If true frankly I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did as he has zero work ethic.

Meanwhile,  Pumpkinhead (OSS stb 28) posted a very long poem lamenting adulting!

Back On The Meds

So Chef has a new doctor that he likes.   He is not pushy and militant like the former doctor.  I noticed the difference when I went to him as well.   

Chef is back on a new blood pressure medicine and on a statin for cholesterol which seems to have a calming effect!  I'm not sure what it is about these meds but he has been actually sensible and reasonable (caveat to the best of Chef's ability which is not much).

Pumpkinhead's Perpetual Yard Sale

Pumpkinhead (OSS stb 28) I've noticed is constantly running a yard sale.  I'm not sure how they accumulated so much stuff at this young age but I know that the Girhippo is a pig and a hoarder.  "Everything Must Go" is the theme of the day.

If you can recall he most recently asked Mr Not So Neutral (Chef's half bro) about electrical repairs at Pumpkinhead's house.  Of course,  Mr Not So Neutral knows nothing about electrical work as he works in a landfill but tried to refer Pumpkinhead to Chef which irritated Chef (and me) to no end as they have been estranged for 15 years now.

A Day That Shall Live In Infamy (20 yrs)

Twenty years ago this day, I foolishly allowed Chef's size 10 workboots to cross my threshold. 

We happen to be staying in a ritzy hotel in Buffalo to visit Awesomeson, Awesome DIL and Awesome GD3 before Awesomeson heads out of state for 3 months starting in August to continue his electrical education in preparation for civilian life .

I mentioned that it was 20 yrs ago that Chef moved in (to Chef) and he says "time sure does fly"  and I added "when you're having fun..."  To which he sarcastically went "ha ha."

Then he said "I knew it was in the summer sometime."
