I seemed to miss this one Barb, you are having lots of fun? If you read my other reply to your ongone saga of Christmas and families, you will know that I have a problem with my neice.
So just before we were to leave a little over a week ago for London, my brother called and said he would be a little delayed, someone had hit his car while in the parking lot of the College. This was the third time it was hit, or banged or something while the neice had it. First the passenger door wouldn't open right, and I told Bruce there is something wrong with the door. and he looked and sure enough, it had been slammed into.
So he asked her and she pretended to not have known anything about it. This after using the car, and running her boyfriend around, they would have had to open that door. And the creak was so loud you couldn't miss it. But no, it wasn't her. Then a few months later, this time she was hit, more damage, so he took it to get repaired, had to pay 500 deductable. Then it was not two weeks later that she came home once again with a car that had the fender hit.
But when he was finished with the insurance stuff and so forth he came to get me and when I saw the damage, it just came out of my mouth, "That was not fender backing out that did that damage??" I mean, it had to have been hit at enough speed to totally smash the front end. But because his daughter said it, he won't budge. So I thought okay, maybe because there was some ice on the ground some kid thought it would be fun to do a wheely in the parking lot. No it couldn't be that because his duaghter said it just appeared there when she came out of class, and there is not room in that parking lot to do spinning around in a car. Then when we got to our brothers home, he looked at the damage and said the same thing I did. Then Bruce just said I don't want to hear anymore about it, okay. OKAY. Then are cousins came and he noticed it, and when he was told it got bumped in the parking lot of the College, the first thing he said was, there is no way that kind of damage was done by someone backing into it???? But again, Bruce said, I do not want to discuss it one way or the other. SO everyone shut up about the car damage.
So, now when he has been off work for over a year sick, and is living on allot less, he has to put out another 500 to have it fixed.
We may never know the full story, but come on. And his car was brand new off the lot a little over a year ago. But we just keep our mouths shut.
She is is little princess.
But oh, I want to smack some sence into her sometimes.
She asked me to make her some of my fudge, because she was craving it, as I cooked while I was there all the time too. And I told her the story of the fish. You can give a man some fish, and it will feed him for one meal, but if you teach him how to fish, he will never go hungry again. So I told her if she wanted fudge, then buy the ingredients and I would show her how. She has not asked about it since.
I am just looking forward to dinner with the my kids and there partners, that will be so nice. Sad that Bethy can't come for long, as she is going to be out patroling keeping the neighbourhoods safe for Christmas night. And we still don't know for how long Mel can come as she is working a second job at a bar, as hostess at Christmas parties. The place she is working at was booked by paramount pictures for the evening. I told her to take a camera and have a pen ready. We can make her tuition selling them on Ebay if she see's someone that is very important there. LOL
Well time to turn this baby off and get some sleep, have a few things to do tomorrow in prep for Sunday dinner.
Happy Holidays Barb and everyone else. :
Gentle hugs
Wendy
