So Chef has had a mood swing back in the opposite direction day after xmas and is now being ultra nice (who are you and what did you do with Chef?)

Four days ago, Chef got a call around 7 am from his older half bro, Mr. Not So Neutral (who is enmeshed with his adult son, the Mechanic) .

Reverse tape:  out of 12 siblings, only 2 are still married-- the ones that moved away from the "homestead."  Mr.NSN never moved on from his divorce and now the Mechanic is on BM2.

So Mr. NSN began reminiscing with Chef about an old school chum that he thought Chef had dated and all the news about her (roll eyes).  Also, as I have predicted, Mr. NSN and the Mechanic are going to make Chef do all the work on his own vintage vehicle despite us giving them a free fancy  heating system and installing it for said garage.   And Chef will be buying all the parts as well!

WELL Chef had gone over there with more vehicle parts and as we went out to dinner last night, Chef revealed what I already knew.  That Mr. NSN constantly persists in reuniting Chef's now adult, PASed out ferals with Chef.  He went into detail about how Uncle Kinky, Chef's only full blood bro, who took the Girhippo's side, paid for the down payment on Pumpkinhead's (OSS 27) house (located about 15 minutes away from our house) as a wedding gift.

Apparently Pumpkinhead asked Mr. NSN how to hook up an electric dryer and Mr. NSN remarked "well the expert in that would be your Dad!"  Chef immediately told Mr. NSN not to say that bc he has no interest in reuniting with his adult PASed out kids and that my kids (Awesomeson, Peg and their spouses) are his adult children now.

I'm sure THAT will get back to the Gir 'N' Clan, the ferals and Uncle Kinky!

ANYWAY I took FULL FESTIVUS ADVANTAGE seeing Chef's good mood to go over every.f'n.wrong over the last 19.5 years that the ferals, the Gir, Battleaxe Galactica and Uncle Kinky had done to us!!!  The airing of grievances!!

IT.WAS.GLORIOUS!!   All the tax fraud, the bankruptcies, the lying, the guerilla warfare PAS, the fake CPS reports, the impoverishment, the court dates, the attorneys, and of course, HOW I BAILED CHEF OUT OF ALL THAT HOT WATER WITH THE IRS AND THE NYS CHILD ABUSE AND MALTREATMENT REGISTRY THAT THE GIR GOT HIM INTO DEVIOUSLY WHILST I PUT UP WITH IT ALL FOR ALMOST TWO F'N DECADES!!!

Chef eventually sat in stunned silence while I relished the meal.  It might have dawned on Chef that he seldom had my back in return.  Who knows but it was extremely cathartic.

Woo  Hoo  I love Festivus!
