When you are sadly related to idiots.

[hosh]

I have recently been involved in an incident that consisted of my brother in-law throwing a poison sumac onto a bonfire. Needless to say we are happy no one died and I was the only one to have breathed in any of the smoke. Now I never liked my brother in-law, permanent scarring on my lungs due to the developed internal rash does not improve my feelings towards him either, but I'm told I can't kill him.

Anyone else have those kind of people in there life.

I had to look up what a poison sumac was Sounds nasty!

Luckily my relatives aren't THAT bad!

[Thlaylie]

We could tell him about my sister?

Long story short she stole the money to bury my Mom that myself and all my relatives had to put up because Mom's plot and plans were 20 years old because she felt it belonged to her?

While I received no physical damage from this incident and many like incidents, the emotional scarring is pretty bad.

[hosh]

LOL I forget that a large portion of the membership lives in countries where the flora is not actively trying to kill you. For all those who don't know poison sumac is a plant that produces a rather toxic resin. This resin induces extreme reactions when even the tiniest amount comes in to contact with your skin and heaven help you if it gets into a permeable mucus membrane. Burning it vaporizes said resin so it will then get into your lungs, eyes, and sinuses while blanketing your body in the stuff. It is not fun let me tell you.

I have a grandmother (father's side) who (according to my dad's stories) took all of his summer job's money from the bank account without telling him, became alienated from her daughter and then proceeded to convince HER daughter to come and live with her (despite her living in an old piece of (please do not swear) apartment in Ottawa (no offense to Ottawa)) before finishing school (she was 16), so my aunt lost custody of her own daughter, who never finished school, and then my grandmother went on to sue my aunt for money to take care of the kid.

I suppose I shouldn't be so harsh because she's so close to passing away, but still... I hope I'm not like that when I get old, to say the least.

I wouldn't say I'm related to idiots as too... ignorant people (not sure what the difference is lol). And to aging grandparents who probably won't croak anytime soon :/ The product of years (a lifetime in their case) of constant negativity and being bad to the core often results in an extended life.

My sister went through a phase of stupidity - Smoking, drinking and so on. It ended though so its all good! Nothing compared to just about all of the above.

so my aunt lost custody of her own daughter, who never finished school, and then my grandmother went on to sue my aunt for money to take care of the kid.

Sounds harsh!

hosh: Just to show him that there are no hard feelings give him a gallon can of gasoline, a pumpkin and some matches. Then run for your life!

I don't like my step-sisters and step-mother. They are not exactly idiots, just dense. They are the types of people who always think they are right, even if they are DEAD WRONG they are still right (though it may just be a female thing...)<-- no offense.

They are the type of people that I swear, your IQ drops if you listen to what they say -_-.

I wouldnt call my sister an idiot, because this is my stupid fault really. I was trying to scare her, by sneaking up on her while she was painting/converting figures. I shouted 'boo', and she spun around, hobby knife in hand, and accidentaly nearly gutted me with it.

Fortunately, no permanent scar, and its nearly faded now. I know not to sneak up on my sister anymore
