BBW's Check In Version 4

The only people that didn't like me driving their kids to school in the snow were a couple of local cops: I used to beat them racing karts on dirt and could handle the conditions better LOL

I took my 1st and 2nd car to the quarter mike track and would beat the boys. I have calmed down a lot. I drive a sensible car now.

My older sister was the better straight quarter racer, while I was better at the dirt ovals and asphalt ovals and courses.

My son has a heavy foot, but he can't beat his half-blind, fat old man on the kart tracks LOL

My oldest brother would run me into the tires every time! I think it is because I gsve him chicken pox the day of his first date. You would think he would forgive a girl for that. It has been almost 40 years...

On dirt, no one in the family could slide like me. On asphalt, she could keep close to me, but couldn't beat me.

She had better timing on the tree than me.

The only things that kept me from going into racing were:

1. I discovered girls
2. Professional drivers I and my father knew told me to go to college
3. I discovered I was good at soccer
4. I discovered girls liked me

LOL

I played soccer in college, which helped garner a partial scholarship: Also had TAP, Pell, trust fund from aunt after she received a major insurance and civil suit awards. Pell paid from my books and most of my off-campus housing, I worked to pay the rest and have spending money (roommates loved that I worked at an Italian restaurant, where the owner's mom would always send me home with food LOL)

My dad died when I was a freshman in high school, so I got extra money to go to college. I got pells as well. I did not want any debt when I graduated, so for for 3 years, I worked 2 jobs. I was head hunted for another job and went there. Within 4 days, I got a promotion. I was making better money than my mom while I was in college with bettrr benefits.

I graduated with two Associates degrees, in Business and Computer Science. I had a job waiting for me at a commercial insurance company, to get their underwriting records and files computerized. I worked there until I was "downsized," then hired as a "consultant" to work in another part of the corporation until the birth of my son. I became the stay-at-home parent: Helped because wife was bringing home twice what I was grossing and had benefits.

I now work as a consultant, working at a health care insurer, through a cousin's consulting firm. I work at that agency, too, reading resumes and researching them - making sure people don't lie - and giving a few interviews.

I still owe $20 from college. I borrowed it from my dad. That was in 1984: he passed away in 1989...Don't think I have to worry about it LOL

I don't have any college debt. I lived at home with my mom so I could afford to go. Made sacrifices, don't regret it. I'm the first person in my family with a college degree. My oldest brother holds it against me. He always was an ass!

I was the first male to graduate from high school in just 4 years in the extended family, let alone have college degrees. My sister has 2 and 4 year nursing degrees.

Our younger brother whines because he has a GED and then had to drop out of college because he didn't cut it academically. He's 49 and STILL thinks the world owes him.

He' bipolar. He has behavior problems. I wrote him out of my life 5 years ago. I see him at Thanksgiving and at Christmas. I go to other people's houses on those occasions, so if he acts up, I can leave. He is not welcome in my home. During those few hours, my stress level is through the roof becsuse one of his behaviors is verbal aggression towards me. I do not put up with it anymore.
My mom died in 2002. All bets have been off since then

My brother is just a pot addicted lazy ass person who is now on disability - legitimately injured his back while at work 10 years ago. He's played the victim all his life: Used the "Boo hoo I can't live up to what they've done" bullshit.

Our parents never compared us to one another, never did the "Why can't you be like your brother/sister" shit. He was spoiled by our mother, since he was an "accident" baby, always spoiled by our aunt because he was born mothers after her own baby was born - she was 16 and gave her up for adoption. Now that he came out, he uses the "I had to hide my sexuality because you all would have disowned me" excuse for his past behavior - drug use, criminal behavior, etc.

I told my brother when he gets therapy and on medication, then I will know he wants to have a relationship with me again. His behavior has been on the decline for years and it was never that great to wiite home about. Please! He made my mom cry her lst Christmas. He sold her jewelry after her death. He is in a "swingers"club and will discuss his lifestyle openly to embarrass you. He will bring fellow swingers to holiday dinners. He started claiming things in my moms house and she was not even cold in yhe ground yet. He is a bad human being. In the gene pool, he swims in the shallow end.

Last Christmas Eve, my brother stated that our sister killed our mother, gave her drugs that killed her. No one's forgotten it, and he's been persona non grata at family gatherings. He's a little pissed because he thinks he didn't receive enough money from our mother's estate, thinks that our sister and I received more, even though the lawyer had it all printed off and slowly explained it all to him.

He thinks we took her jewelry from a safety deposit box and sold it. The stuff in that box wasn't jewelry, just personal items for my son, my nephew, and niece.

I completely understand. Imagine that plus getting embarrassed in restaurants. I just don't answer the phone when he calls. I let it go to voice mail, see the mood he is in, then return the call. Good mood, rihht awsy. Bsd mood, the next day. Self protection. He is very verbally aggressive towsrd me.
my other brother, the one who is between us in sge, hsngs up on him and tells him off. He is in business with him snd is slwsys pulling the bipolar brother's portion of the work load. He whines with him. With me, it is sharp barbs. Now, he has no relationship with me
 
Thanks. Luckily it's a great day here. Almost 60 and clear and sunny. :)

My run went very well. This couch to 5k thing may be on to something...

Glad to hear the run went well! I'm starting to look forward to my lunch break at 11 so I can go to the gym. :)
