So this happened quite a few years ago, but it’s safe to say that the relationship with the in-laws isn’t going to improve, ever. So, here we go, TLDR at bottom.
My SIL, lets call her Karen, is one of those people that just HAS to make everything about her. You got a huge promotion at work? Meh, no one cares, KAREN JUST BOUGHT MILK HALF PRICE HOW CLEVER IS SHE? You are going to hospital for emergency surgery? Big deal, THIS ONE TIME LIKE 10 YEARS AGO KAREN HAD MINOR DAY SURGERY. Deliberately putting everything in caps here, as Karen is loud and quite over the top at times.
Anyway, after 2 years of dating, my boyfriend (Karen’s younger brother, we will call him Max) proposed. My family’s happy, his family is happy (at this point in time I still had a very close relationship with MIL). We quickly organise a backyard engagement party, and friends/family fly in from interstate, so it’s a reunion and engagement party all in one, good times ahead, right?
So as the afternoon wears on, Karen turns up with her long term partner, Bill. Bill and Karen have been together for 10+ years, have a house, kids etc but aren’t married and have no interest in doing so (no big deal, Max and I originally had no interest either, how we got engaged is another story in itself). Until now, Karen and I got along ok, but that promptly turns sour as she proceeds to spend the whole evening getting drunk and telling every person around what an idiot her brother is for getting married. EVERYONE, my mum, my dad, my work colleagues, everyone heard about how terrible a person I was. Bill was a trooper trying to manage her, but he eventually gave up and left without her.
The end of the night comes, and everyone has left except a few work colleagues that finished late and came over for a chat and a feed. Max is busy with the BBQ, Karen is sitting next to me, facing my colleagues.
Karen(ignoring me): My brother’s a soft cock, getting married. What a piece of shit, you’re a dickhead Max! Fuck marrying her!
Me: Yeh, I’m right here Karen, can you knock it off?
Karen: Yeh, you are, You guys are dickheads, you don’t even have a house. I’ve got a house. Max, you’re making a mistake, you piece of shit.
Max is ignoring his sister, as she drives him nuts(although apparently they are so so close, just ask her). I weigh up my options and decide that storming upstairs and remaining there until she leaves is the best option. Karen leaves in a taxi shortly after (sucked in, cab fare would have be

About three years ago I had a massive computer crash, and the greatest casualty was my iPhoto. Spanning the time between 2004 to 2008, every single photograph I had ever taken was gone in an instant. It was devastating.
The time that these photos were taken was an incredibly unique and exciting time in my life, my band was signed to Warner Brothers, I worked with many of my childhood idols, and I saw the world. More importantly, I was losing the photos and memories with my family, or pictures of my dog Gizmo who died last year, or of my first meetings with people who would later go on to become close friends.
I had a photo backup, but in an unfortunate turn of events, that drive crashed about a month earlier and could not be recovered. I eventually let it go, but if you’ve ever wondered why I try to stay so consistent with documenting my memories online, this is it.
Yesterday, however, I was going through my trove of external hard-drives in search of an old recording and I stumbled upon a hidden folder. I honestly cannot understand how this happened, but all of these years later I have discovered a backup of my photos. Every single one (As far as I can tell). Needless to say I am pretty happy about this, so I figured I would go through and post some of the more interesting or memorable pictures in celebration.
Here are 25 of my favorites.
Recovered Photos: 2004 to 2008
EDIT because people genuinely seem interested. Idiot Pilot is no longer active, but I just put out a record with my new band and it is free right here: Glowbug
Man, I imagine that's the point, but God did I leave hating everyone he encountered.
For all the shit they put the dude through, their fucking self-centered outlooks, the fact that he just tries to do good and gets bitten in the ass every time…and in the end, what does it all amount to? Nobody really learned anything from how shitty they were, nobody faces the consequences he did (I mean cmon, he got jail time, the girls had temporarily rocky relationships). Everyone had a happy ending.
For such I cheery presentation, I'm sitting here more jaded, more sad than I started. Maybe it's just recent personal events, but I'm a little pissed that it's so ok for everyone but him.
I feel a little down about the whole thing, honestly.
Our Friend is 15, not 16 we are all 15, her brother is 14
As the story goes he was walking to class and a door just swung open. It hit him in the head and it knocked him out
We were in Ceramics and the principal came and got our friend Ashley. He told her that Mike was asking for her, so she left class and went with him. Class ended and we went to the nurse and her brother was lying down. She was sitting right next to him holding ice on his head.
She told us that she is leaving when her mom gets here. She helped him get into the car, I have to admit I was worried about him. He was not his usual self he seemed to really not be OK. You could tell his sister was upset. She kept asking the nurse who was the idiot who swung the door open.
My friend, all she cared about is that not all of us could go to the mall after school. She was moaning about how our friend is already one of the prettiest girls in the school and how guys give her a lot of attention. This one is ridiculous she said and I qoute " She cared more about her brother, than she did about me when I broke my wrist". She said freshmen need to know where they are going
She sent me a text saying her brother has a severe concussion and a lump on his head
What do I do about my friend?
tl;dr: Friend was pissed off that not all of us could go to the mall
Seriously, the entire movie is about Paul Rudd being a great guy and getting shit on as a result of it. All of his sisters (among a bunch of other characters) are just dicks to him the whole time and it's honestly hard to watch. It's a funny enough movie but just wasn't that enjoyable because of the amount of shitty characters. Anyone else feel the same way?

Loved every minute. Hilarious.
Paul Rudd plays Ned, a misunderstood idiot hippie brother to a variety of sister's. He fuck's up all their lives, but simultaneously makes them realize they are terrible people.
Great bloopers in the credits.
Rating 7.3/10
Upsnowdens if you agree.
Apparently the Weinstein Co is digitally inserting product-placement for "Our Idiot Brother" into reruns of "How I Met Your Mother". Tonight I was watching the show and behind the actors' heads, in the bar their characters frequent on the show, was a poster for the film. There was also an "Our Idiot Brother" calendar behind Robin and Marshall during the shooting range scene in S02E01, even though the original episode aired in 2006.
I hope this doesn't catch on.
Like the look of this one especially
Is my best bet for cheap sweaters thrift stores?
It has a 6.5 on imdb which is decent for a comedy but i'd rather take recommendations from people like me.
Hey guys we have almost 1 million in here , I don’t know maybe if we all band together on a specific time and a specific day maybe a month from now we can do something, I notice we don’t always have a lot of members online but it’s still a lot of us.
I just started a grad program at my brother's alma mater. He is flying in this weekend to see friends and was planning to stay with me, so he shipped his entertainment package to MY NAME at MY PO BOX on campus through USPS. He will not be staying now.
The university requires a signature to pick up a package. Is it enough to refuse to sign?
Possession and intent to possess are violations for the University Code of Conduct.
I don't want to get him in trouble. He's never put me in a position like this before. but he's the jackass that mailed it to me. He is not on the return address, so nothing connects him to the package.
He told me that if I'm freaking out, I just refuse to sign for it. Is refusing to sign enough?
Advice would be greatly appreciated.
