Dear Grandma,
Why in the world did you save all that stuff?
The saddest thing is we're finding junk from the 60's-70's which means it wasn't just you hoarding this stuff, but Grandpa too!
After 1 day the dumpster is 1/3 full and that's only from the kitchen, den, living room, bedrooms! We still have the basement to go through! And it's packed with crap!
Dear Future Brother in Law,
I like you, we get along great, and I think of you as a friend. You have helped my sister and I have a better friendship/relationship, and for that I thank-you.
That said, get yourself a job and sell the goddamn cars! Stop relying on my sister!
I know the economy is bad, and that's why you lost your job, I can sympathize, and I understand. But you are living rent free in my grandmother's house, and now that she's in the Nursing home that's temporary. Could be months/years, who knows. But if she doesn't die, then we have to sell the house to pay for her care.
Let's start with the cars. You drive the Dodge, bought it after the 88 Ford went kaput, but explain to me why the 88 Ford is still in my grandmother's garage. You haven't even put an ad up trying to sell it yet! I know it "doesn't cost me anything to sit" but when you have no money, it's time Jack.
Same goes with the 79 Ford, and the Monte Carlo. They're sitting doing nothing, time for them to go!
I understand you wish you hadn't sold the Mustang to my Dad, but you're the one who asked my sister to marry him, and you had to have known that was going to mean getting a house/apartment. So that means you have to sell the toys, and get rid of the debt.
Hell I never had the toys, I wanted the house and got it at 19! Now I'm on my 2nd house and I'm 24!
Look, I'm very protective of my sister, and I don't want to see her hurt. Since the wedding plans are still progressing I assume you still want to marry her. So please, work this stuff out on your own before I have to have a chat with you. I really don't want to do that.

Because you can't watch her while I'm out cold from the Aleve? And besides, even if you had 'vetoed' the whole I need a nap thing? It wouldn't have stuck because you know Aleve makes me tired.
