After today, two more reverse ransom aka broken vehicle payments.  We've already paid off the first two broken vehicles and this is the last one.  After 19 years and 6 months.

All of said funds have been flushed down the crapper.   I don't even want to think about how much money we've paid over almost two decades or I will become violently ill.  It has always been the Girhippo's  walking around money even when it was practically all of Chef's salary.  After the divorce she immediately sought out a sugar daddy of course.  StepDaddyBigBucks will be 62 next week and the Gir is 51.

So Chef is ALWAYS asking me to look up biz contacts for him and text him the info so he can call them.   He NEVER saves any numbers to HIS contact list...  Why you may ask?

He actually takes PHOTOS of contact info on biz cards!!!  So we were driving back from Buffalo and I have his phone.  He tells me to look at his photos in his gallery and call that number or to scroll through the hundreds of random, unsaved to contacts phone numbers in his recent calls and look for that specific number to call.

That R-U-N-N-O-F-T.  This is the only son of Mr. Not-So-Neutral (they are enmeshed).  This is the nephew who is supposedly rebuilding Chef's vintage vehicle in exchange for a brand new heating system (at our expense).  I'll call him the Mechanic.  Again I could see offering the labor for free but the whole system?  Supposedly BM2 dumped him with the children but I sincerely doubt it.  These guys are gruff, burly men and BM2 would NEVER give up her kids!   

I've finally finished up the rental single family house which was a total massive project.  I'm exhausted from it all and with Awesomeson away and AwesomeDIL/DGD not coming over for xmas I figured instead of getting a fresh tree, Id pick up a 9 footer artificial one (we have high ceilings) from craigslist.  It should be noted that I do all the decorating and tree care.  Chef just drags it in the house then sets it in the stand.
