So a couple years before that he had a massive heart attack. I found out about this when I am on a date with my future wife.
So i'm pretty shook up. First time something like this happened, and I have an early shift. So i'm trying to rest for the night.
My brother however, is off the next few days. So he responds to this the same way he responds to everything. Goes out and gets drunk.
That's terrible
At around midnight I still hadn't fallen asleep. and I get a call from my brother.
I answer the phone and he says. "Hey grumplebee, I need to talk to you. Mom just called. Dad died.
His last words were "With my final breath I want everyone to know that I hated Grumplebee!"
needless to say I hung up on him.
Dad made a full recovery from both illnesses. Doctor said he woldn't know he'd had a heart attack if it wasn't on his chart, and he only lost 10% of lung capacity in one lung.
Did your dad put him up to it? Why did he do that?
No my dad wasn't up to doing anything at that point. he almost died and was in bad bad shape.
My brother just did it because he was proper drunk and thought it would be funny.
Did you ever tell him your brother did that?
Oh yeah.
He thought it was hilarious.
He probably did. Lol Is your dad doing well now?
Yeah, he's 60 now. Still working, and working on getting his doctorate of edutation. He's always wanted to be a doctor.
Way to go Grumplebee Sr!
And your brother is a better place?
My brother is a whole nother story.
Your brother sounds like he'll along with your wives family. The messed up ones.
I don't want to get into the whole elaborate thing but he had a traumatically bad work experience. So did I actually. Neither of us coped with it super well. Indeed, we have most of the same problems. But to greater or lesser degrees depending on the particular issue we're talking about.
You ever hear that C.S. Lewis quote about Robber Barons and Moral Busybodies?
No I have not
I'll pull it up. It's a really good one, and one anyone in our area of the politcal spectrum should know.
Ok
One of the reasons why Trump was better than Clinton even *if* every last thing your ever heard about it was true. Including the hooker pissing thing.
Ok, I dig it. I understand it. I don't know why I haven't come across it or can't remember reading it before
Lol
This relates back to me and my brother. So we used to be very close on the political spectrum. Fairly conservative. Then we got jobs.
He worked at a factory that was not unionized. Worked hard, got promoted, and moved to another factory out of state to get them up to snuff. This was the main factory for the country run by a small group of super rich guys.
Like imagine the stereotypical rich factory owner turn of the twentieth century stereotype and you'll get the idea, and they got up to some shady stuff. including hiring illegals etc.
Yes.
So they failed to deliver on a lot of the stuff they promised, he's the only guy in the entire factories QA department which means everyone hates, him, and the cost of living means hes making as much money as he had been before the promotion in pracitcal terms.
He also was supposed to have a team he was managing that never got delivered on.
To spare the blow by blow he had a mental break down, quit his job, and moved hard left.
Now at the same time. I was working for a unionized hotel.
I don't much care for unions, but the union rep lady was friendly enough, and the hotel was constantly claming to not have any money.
It's a mutbillion dollar international corporation that is owned by *another* multibillion dollar corporation
