I feel resentment toward my sister

I don't hate her, she is just "sunshine, flowers and everything beautiful". She also lives 1500 miles away and judges me on how I am dealing with our parents. Nothing bad, really, but if I am not there immediately, I'm a pile of shit.

Toilet seat broken? Call Aerows to fix it on her day off.

Need help with something minor, which turns into you replacing the coil behind the clothes dryer? Aerows was called and responded. At 6PM fresh out of work. Done at 8PM.

Mother dumps pasta down the drain, proceeds to do the dishes in hot water

I know, responded, pulled out the pipes under the sink while getting screamed at not to make too big of a mess (?)

Dislodge a shit-ton of swollen pasta from said pipes, replace all.

Hear mom call my sister. "Somehow she fixed it, didn't take much. How are the kids?"

I said No today

It is hard for me, but I said NO. NO I will not come over after work to clean out the garage.

I have ducked my father for 3 days because he keeps hinting. I dodged him enough that I think "Operation make Aerows work like a dog cleaning out the garage while I wave my cane and supervise" came to a hault.

The magic word was "No". Not tonight, not tomorrow night.

Dumb ways to Die

I hope this isn't in poor taste, but it is quite hilarious.

Anyone know where to get seat covers for a truck?

I'd prefer leather, but good canvas is okay too. It's for an old (94) Silverado pick up.

Wanted: Good salsa verde recipe

I like salsa verde. Anyone have a good recipe?

Cara & Kahlan is not dead!

My Hoot Owl is back!

Hooting at me, when I hoot at it! It is pure entertainment.

I wouldn't like to be on the bad side of one of these

Help

I don't know what to do. My parents are 86 and 82 respectively and seem to think they are 40. The only 40 year old around is me. Unloading trucks, doing things that I'm really not capable of doing. I've lost 20 lbs. that I didn't have to lose, and my blood pressure was scary when I went to the doctor the other day.

I nearly broke my finger because my father, directing the "help" (me) waiving his cane wanted my 82 year old mother to cart some crap out of the back of the truck. Needless to say, I took over (at a moment's notice, mind you) and damn near broke my finger to get my mother out of the back of the truck.

I'm pissed, and expressed being pissed, then I am accused of being a piece of shit. Their words.

I'm going to have a stroke.

Elderly parents

I have two elderly parents that seem to believe that nothing has changed. My mother was in the back of a pickup truck at the bequest of my father (who is 86 and can't get up there) after she, at 82 fell 3 months ago. I tried to help, and nearly got my finger broken, and the response was "Don't you love me?" and "We'll go back tomorrow".

My blood pressure is at 180/103. I weigh 110. I'm going to stroke out.
