Well I spent most of yesterday evening helping one of my cousins move for the second time in six months. She made the mistake of moving into the second floor suite of our uncle's house to watch over the place while he was gone (he and his wife are truckers.) The problem here being that our uncle's a world-class asshole.
He always acts like he's so much better than the rest of us when he's so deeply in debt that it's ridiculous. He's an impulse big-ticket item buyer which usually a vehicle of somesort or the aforementioned house. Just recently he realized that he couldn't pay for the van he'd bought and offered to trade it with my aunt's just paid of T-Bird. My grandmother liked the idea and being the 'momma's girl' my aunt is she signed over the tittle and took up the payments on the van.
But I digress... I have no idea what my cousin was thinking when she accepted the offer to move into the house in the first place when she knew just as much as the rest of us how nothing my uncle offers comes without so many strings attached it'd make a marionette puppet scream in terror. Well I said it wouldn't last a year and I was right. I’d feel vindicated if I wasn't so sore from being the family pack mule from 7p.m. to 1a.m. last night. As if it was really a surprise that'd I'd be called in for that particular duty. :roll:
