Functional decor is my personal favorite. I usually have my guitars hung up (just moved, not up in the new house yet). I tried to convince my wife to let me buy two giant googly eyes and set up our central vacuum tube as a mustache, but she didn't go for it (I don't blame her, just a tad sad).

Isn't that great?

Finally. I've been offering for years.

Oh no! They probably shouldn't use a VPN to submit things from different IP addresses, that would make it even more frustrating for them!

How about we call for his arrest and trial?

I'm really sorry to hear that. Sometimes life puts us in a place where we need our family, even if they're awful.

That all sucks. To answer your question: decide whether you really have to deal with them forever. In this case, unless I'm missing something significant, it sounds like you could cut your brother and his family out of your life. It sounds like their contributions are exclusively negative, and after going behind you and your mother's backs with the land thing, you'd be perfectly justified to cut them out.

In short: don't deal with them.

I live a few miles from the border and cross at least weekly. You could generally get away with this for a handful of things, especially if you're smart about it (dispose of all packaging and tags, have an otherwise legit reason for a short visit, etc).

But if they question you, and they determine you're intentionally lying about it, you can expect to pay additional fines and lose several hours of your life.

Brilliant. Good setup, nice twist at the end.

Often some sort of coupling pin.
