    The harassment my good friend Marissa's brother in law puts my wife and I through. She is few up too with it and sees us like any couple. Wife is a pre op MTF transsexual which she decided not to have the GRS and I see her happy supporting her decision. Marissa sees us like any normal couple and her brother in law Jon is always calling my wife a freak and thinks I am gay which I am not. It is getting to the point Marissa is going to talk to her husband, sister in law and his parents on this soon.

    it is too bad you and your wife are getting grief.

    I’m kind of surprised you use the term “transsexual “which is seen these days as dated and often offensive. Are you ok with “transgender?” Buck Angel uses “ transsexual” deliberately, but he is an old guy and admits to that.

    I guess I would use the term “ trans” if I was in a room with opposite-sex identifying people just to keep it simple and avoid conflict.

    They ended up coming on Saturday. Found out the first Friday they missed was because the driver has a "favorite" truck and it was broken down and he didn't want to take the other one. So instead he leaves people with over-flowing cans sitting at the curb for two weeks. I managed to play a mean game of Tetris with our trash bags and had quite the tower going. Other people just started throwing bags on the ground which were then torn apart by raccoons. Hence why I didn't want any of ours on the ground.

    It has been a very tough week! My brother went into the hospital yesterday. He is 1700 miles away. I talked to him yesterday but could not get a hold of him today so I called the hospital direct instead of his cell. Turns out he was in surgery. Doctor called just a few minutes later and informed me I needed to make the decision to pull the plug. He had no pulse and was not breathing on his own. They asked me because, unbeknownst to me, he made me power of attorney. I told them to remove machines. I was told he died quietly a few minutes later. I called his estranged son and asked him to take over arrangements. His estranged wife called and screamed and screamed at me. I did what he would have wanted me to do and that I would want done for me. Talk about heartbreak?

    Work is incredibly stressful lately. The Indian half of the owners is the major problem. It’s so nice when he’s out of the country or at the other local office.

    The new Trump tariffs will make things worse, but we’ll have to wait until Monday to see what happens.

    Oh, frugal-one, I am so sorry you're having to deal with all of that! It's clear that your brother trusted your judgement above all others, and you came through for him as he knew you would.
