1) is the sister still alive and how long ago was this gift given?
2) do you happen to know the brand and can search for the replacement online? (If you don't know the brand, refer to #1)
3) call the Wolf
1) is the sister still alive and wanting to date?
The wife’s out of town, and you’re sober enough to hear a fvckin fly, at night, in the dark?
I think there’s some Freud shit going on with the lamp.
Or, your Cpap clogged up.
@joe_hoopsier I don’t think I’d want to date a woman who gives lamps as gifts. She sounds like loads of fun.
@jdb Ugh. My sister is a hoarder. I moved her out to an assisted living place last year and threw most of her shit away. Now she's trashing up her new apartment.
Not the first time I've moved her, either.
It's a real mental illness and it's disgusting.

He’s just a brilliant asshole.Your dad is a freakin' gangster. I love this guy.@co-hoosier man, my parents see this differently. Every time they visit they bring a load of shit to offload on us. Most of it I don't want anyways so we tell them we have no room. I'll take a china set when they give it to us so the girls can have the nice stuff, but that's about it.
I'd say 3 months ago we had a visit from my parents. They come bearing arms full of crap. After proceeding to go through the items which included a folder full of love letters my dad had collected from a past girlfriend (we all thought this was f*cking nuts and disrespectful since my mom was with him, shoulda thrown that shit away.). Then inside a paper grocery bag my dad pulls out a human skull. We were all like, WTF!!! This was a skull handed down to him by his father that had attended med school. If I understand this correctly I believe back in the day med students received a human skull as part of their education, (I could be wrong). Regardless there was a effing human skull sitting on my dinner table.
My wife who IS a doctor yelled at my dad to take that off her table and return it home. My dad proceeded to say if you don't want it I'll just throw it away. Which my wife responded, that's against the law. You have to properly dispose of it. So we lectured my mom and dad they needed to contact the IU medical school and find out what to do with this skull.
I'll guarantee you my dad returned home and tossed that in the trash.

@old-crescent Hopefully she isn't as bad as I saw on that show (TLC?). THat was flat out disgusting.
Wife is out of town for work until thursday. A fly got into the house and when I went to bed around 10:30 last night, it was buzzing around the room. Tried for an hour to get it, shoo it out of the room, open windows. Nothing worked. Tried to power through it and get to sleep. By 1:00 a.m. the fly is still buzzing, and I'm still awake. I get up out of bed, flick on the lights again, and I see that the fly is on the lamp shade at my night stand. I grab the closest pair of shoes I can find and swing as hard as I can-not giving a lick of the consequences. Well, I got the fly and literally destroyed the lamp as collateral damage.
The problem is that the lamp was a gift to my wife from her sister. Sentimental value and all that. I have 3 potential options:
1. Blame the dog;
2. Blame my wife "you shouldn't have put it on my side of the bed"
3. Fess up.
My reaction is to pick 3, and just say "I was so tired I didn't know what I was doing".
Step 1: Ask your wife if her sister knew she was out of town. Slowly start nodding when your wife says yes. Explain in great detail how you have unfortunately lived a difficult life. For as long as you can remember you have been treated as a piece of meat by women. Start telling her the story from grade school when Alexis beat you up because you wouldn't be her boyfriend. Or how for months when you got your morning coffee from Desiree in the drive up window at McDonald's she kept giving the blow job gesture (I'd show the wife what the gesture is for effect). Or the time at band camp with that one gal. Now you add as many stories as you like here.
Give her a moment to digest your sexiness. And then tell her the unfortunate truth that her sister broke into your bedroom and as a last ditch effort you had to smash her over the head with the lamp to keep her from raping you. Then shrug, kiss her on the cheek, and ask her what's for dinner. Oh....when you're walking out of the bedroom tell her if she cleans up the mess you'll give her the business later.
Not going to lie, I haven't seen anything this intriguing since McMurtry's ex wife sent me a text asking me pick up a carton of Marlboro reds, a bag of Cheetos, a bottle of Everclear and two dwarfs and bring it all to her apartment

Your dad is a freakin’ gangster. I love this guy.
He’s just a brilliant asshole.
I want this on my gravestone.

There are a number of dysfunctional NPC's on this board, for sure...

this is the worst. My parents were hoarders. I wouldn’t say we are minimalists, but we have no interest in a lot of the sentimental stuff.
Now they are downsizing to a ranch ina few months, so I expect a special visit just to unload more shit. Thinking about cleaning their house out is stressing me out.
My dad keeps EVERYTHING & organizes it meticulously. Every couple of months he’ll send some crap home with me, like every report card I ever got, school projects & awards, all kinds of dumb Knick-knacks, etc. Every once in a while something really cool comes out of it though. My son is riding around on my bmx bike that I had when I was his age - I had no idea but my dad kept it, fully restored it, & gave it to him a few months back. My boy thinks it’s the coolest thing ever & never rides his much nicer Trek sitting in the garage…
