I love my brother, but he's so stupid.

I probably shouldn't jump in here, but is being overweight necessarily worth lumping in with everything else here? I know its unhealthy and unattractive (I'm pretty overweight myself... though of course male) but the rest of it is character issues.

shit man I got meat on me, some women like it
 
Holy crap. 200 lbs, incredibly insensitive and wants to claim ownership on a cobbler after she takes off with his "best friend."

Your brother is so much better off. I hope he meets someone worth his while.

LOL--yep--the gall of her and this was only a few days after she left too. That cobbler was probably moldy by then anyway. I just talked to him a little while ago. He's doing alright now and keeping himself busy fixing up the house now that she's gone. He said he's repainting and having new carpet installed and going to toss out the bed in the spare bedroom they were fooling around on.

He has a really nice home in S.D. All she did was break his heart and drag him down. I told him that if he got back together with her--don't expect me to be friends with her any more. He said that won't happen, but he's such a soft heart and so forgiving. I know this guy she ran off with--he'll dump her eventually I have no doubt.

He is better off and I told to be patient that he'd meet someone nice down the road who's local. He's been married before too, but never to anyone as long as he was this one--and it's also harder now that he's older too. Keep him in your prayers for me please. I'm hoping that he'll find a good Christian gal that just wants someone who will be there and be good to him.

My hubby has a beer gut, but a really cute butt that makes up for it. :D Oh Lord--I said the word "butt" again didn't I. :p

I always tell him he's got the *dickydoo disease*--his belly gets there before the dicky do. :p Men are just shaped that way--they can't help it.

FF--why do you take everything to heart that I say? I'm talking about a 59 year old woman with health problems and seriously overweight who ran off with my brothers friend. If you're self conscious about your weight--and you should be at your age--then do something about it. Don't blame everyone who makes reference to *weight as a personal affront to you.

I will tell you this--you're missing out on a lot of good things by not doing something about it at your young age. As people age and get in their fifties and sixties--it's fairly common to put on some weight because the body slows down at that age. I've seen too many young people that are over-weight simply because they don't get out and walk, hike and do physical activities. When I was your age--there was no internet and T.V. like there is today--we were always outside and busy doing things that kept us active. It's just a healthier lifestyle for young people. There was nothing here said that discriminates against people who are over weight at all. This was all directed towards my brothers wife and that was it.

You're making me feel old-things were the same when I was FF's age. :eek: Giving kids the "when I was your age" lectures nowadays is fun and a bit depressing and odd all at once. :eek: :D

It's true too! It's true that I had to walk four miles to school and back every day too, no kiddin-- LOL
I had to walk over a mile to school every morning--then home for lunch and then back to school and then home again after school. How many kids have to do that today? I didn't get to take the bus because we lived on the edge of the bussing route--so I had to walk.

Today I see kids waddling to the end of their driveways waiting for the bus. It is a real problem today--that much I can see and believe. They'd probably pass out before they made it to school if they had to walk the distance I had to. Plus it didn't help that I had four older brothers and a sister who ate everything in house before I could get a scrap. I was this skinny lil thing who got kicked away from the table and had to eat crumbs. :(

I actually had Amy's post in mind, not yours. I don't "take it to heart" either, and it wasn't really about me. I just don't think "over 200 lbs" deserves to be in the same category as "runs off with husband's best friend" and "demands food from husband's house after leaving him" and even "incredibly insensitive."

Oh come off it FF--this is really all about you taking something personal that you well know wasn't said in that context. I was talking about his rotten whoring wife who I compare with a pig who has taken almost all of his furniture out of the house and still wanted to own the cobbler leftover in the fridge to stuff her fat face with and share with my brothers *ex* best friend who betrayed him as well. I mean--just how low can a person go before they're nothing more than a disgusting hog.

OK, I get the reason for the overweight reference then. Fair enough. And no, I wasn't "taking it personal". I just didn't understand WHY the weight reference. Now I get it.

Having been overweight after/during being pregnant--it sucks. It sucks a lot. And it is a choice. If you want to make a comparison, it's harming yourself versus harming someone else--this person that I referred to was/is harming herself and another person. Harming yourself is less of an offense, so I'll agree on that, even though you probably shouldn't. Take care of yourself.

Yep. That clears things up!
 
He loves to cook! He loves nature, hiking and occasional trips too, but mostly he's a homebody who loves his pets and gardening. I know he'll meet someone nice eventually--this has just been so hard for him. He already has some emotional problems, so I was so worried about him getting too depressed. He's been calling me a lot now and mostly I just listen to him because I know he just needs to vent and I'm the only one he's got that will listen to the extent that I do. He told me the other day--I thank God for you sis--you're the only one who loves me. I told him--nah--God loves you much more than me hon. :p

What he needs is some good marketing--he sounds like a really nice guy.
 
Yeah, my brother's are dumb too, bless their hearts.

He sounds like a good man, he won't be lonely for long.

As a matter of fact, he mentioned that as well. In fact while she was staying with this other guy--she had the nerve to call my brother asking him if the cobbler was still in the fridge--I kid you not.

:eek::D
Well, it was a cobbler.
 
I think your brother dodged a bullet cos had your brother fallen for the first scam, he would have continued to fall for other smaller scams with the same in an attempt to redeem himself and not look stupid. Sorta works like how casinos make money, except in this case the house wins 100% of the time.

Just for giggles, a famous Nigerian comedian made a music video about the whole 419 Nigerian email scam thingy. Mugu means a gullible person, 419 means the code in the Nigeria legal system that deals with financial scams and Oyibo for the most part means westerner.



Just so nobody becomes a mugu, there is a craigslist version of this scam where someone(the scammer) would buy your item on craigslist and instead of writing a cheque for the exact amount of the item, they will write a cheque for $5000. They will tell you to cash it, take your portion and then send the rest to him or his friend in the US whose having a birthday or some celebration. You cash the cheque, send him the item and the surplus cash to him/his friend. Later the bank will send you a letter telling you there is a problem with the cheque and they now want their money back. The problem now is that you have sent the item, the surplus and possibly spent your portion of the cheque.
