Anyone want to adopt ...

Me?

I've read that "Family are like fish. After three days, you either have to cook them, or throw them out. If they hang around too long - they permeate the air. It's not one big thing - it's a bunch of ongoing, little things that eat at you until you feel like they have filled up the place and surrounded you. Like a lingering smell that you know is there, but you can't quite figure out what it is. "


My older sister (she's 35) quit her job last week in California and decide to come home to Atlanta. She has no job, no money and no car...and up and quit her job. Great plan...not...

Sounds great huh?

Well she's been at our home for a 7 days now (driving my wife and I crazy) and informed us today that she 'is" going to stay until the beginning of the year.....I was ready to ship her off when I got this 'news" today...Oh God please help me!

Normally this would not be a big deal but my wife is on bed rest...twins are on the way in 8 weeks....our house is for sale .....and 2 grandparents are coming in in 1 week to stay with us for the next 3 months...and we have NO room for her.

WILL someone please adopt me? Jocke? Paul? Anyone? You can wear my watches...

No worries... Come and stay here... We've got plenty of room!

I'll just go and get your "bedroom" ready...!

You might find that most men would find it difficult to find the right answer to that question!

My 50 year old brother did the same thing to me a few years ago, only his joblessness wasn't voluntary. I figured it'd be a few weeks, maybe a month. 7 months later I was ready to wring his neck as he was the most negative person, and I couldn't take it. Better now, but it was probably a year after he moved out before I was ready to spend any time with hi.

So, come on up - for a spell.

If that is the case she's hot, she cooks, she cleans and does whatever you want.

Where shall I send her to?
