Good luck brotha! Just got rid of the last of family this morning that have been here since Thanksgiving since some stayed because the baby came shortly after the holiday. It is sooo nice to have a quiet house again although the outlaws who moved here after us My wife and I would vent to each other every night to keep from snapping.

To the batcave...

Re: Lord give me strength
 

Man, I don't even know what to say.......;s

Re: Lord give me strength
 

I didn't know this happened in real life

Re: Lord give me strength
 

Always Remember:

6 packs are such to take care of you Sunday thru Monday.

Bourbon comes in single bottles for Saturday.

In Laws may come and In laws may go but Crowbars last forever :)

Re: Lord give me strength
 

Good luck.

Re: Lord give me strength
 

Kevin? Kevin, are you there?


OK....who has bail money?

Re: Lord give me strength
 

I Think He Was Kidnapped!:r

Re: Lord give me strength
 

If it's any consolation, I'm getting a hell of a laugh at your expense. I already can't wait to see what happens next. :D
;s

Re: Lord give me strength
 

I think he is probably ok. Poor fellow was probably eager to get out of the house this morning even if he went to work.

Re: Lord give me strength
 

Would it be cheaper to put them up in a hotel?

When my parents came to live with us it lasted a week and they decided that it was worth it for them to live in a hotel until the house was ready.

Day 3 update: Sorry I wasn't around to much yesterday, The wife and I took her employees to brunch at a nice resort casino here and we got a room and stayed the night. They have a great cigar lounge, very nice restaurants and we had an excellent time, until we returned to our home, or what I now affectionately refer to as "Hell House"!
As I walked through the door this morning upon our return, I suddenly felt myself transforming into Colonel Kurtz from Apocalypse Now as I begun mumbling "The Horror, The Horror".

My front entry rug has become a dog urine receptacle. The grout under the dining table was now a stream of yellow tributaries flowing , as best I can tell, toward the pacific. There are half eaten dog treats strewn about the house. I will spare you the details of how the house smells as I will leave that to your imagination.
My MIL tried to make me believe it was our dog who has been soiling the entry rug, a feat she has yet to accomplish in the last eight years, and as I got down on my hand and knees to clean the tributaries under the table, my MIL's husband, who was seated at the table using his laptop, would not move his feet so that I could clean under them.
They just left to go look at homes and took their 3 dogs with them. I will continue to clean the house now that they are gone as soon as I am done cleaning my hunting rifles.:D :gn

Re: Lord give me strength
 

sound advise........either they go or you go......peace of mind in not over rated

You may be getting a call from me in the near future!:r

Re: Lord give me strength
 

Laura, at this point it may be cheaper to pay for a Defense Lawyer!:gn :r

Re: Lord give me strength
 

I got an idea, move the dogs to a hotel and then the in laws shall follow.

Re: Lord give me strength
 

maybe he started doing volunteering at local non profits so hes at home less, I mean so he's showing he cares about society.

Re: Lord give me strength
 

Kevin: In all seriousness, it is NOT acceptable that they destroy your house. They need to be told that they are guests, and anymore urine on the floor will be one drop too much, and they will have to vacant and move to a hotel. Likewise any undue "takeover" of the house or refrigerator contents by said people will result in immediate removal. It's funny only up to a point. I really think you need to talk to your wife and tell her that what is going on is beyond the pale, and the trespassers need to be moved to a hotel.

I really feel bad for you, brother. I hope that you can get rid of these people before you lose your sanity and good humor!

Re: Lord give me strength
 

Kevin, come to Cali ;)

Re: Lord give me strength
 

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
I would be helping her find a place.

Re: Lord give me strength
 

I tried to clean the entry rug, But it looks like I'll have to send it out to get it done right. I have another area rug to replace it, but damn, that rug really tied the room together. I feel like the Dude.:r

Re: Lord give me strength
 

I Agree, Kevin; They Shouldn't Destroy Your Home! You Need To Talk!

Re: Lord give me strength
 

oops, sorry, but while cleaning up your messes, we inadvertently changed the locks and left for a short retreat in the wood.

Re: Lord give me strength
 

I have a backhoe...

Two (?) words: Wood Chipper!
 

Well, I had this reserved for my MIL but seeing as we're all family here I can loan it out to you for yours. Happy I could help! :r

Re: Lord give me strength
 

Hugh spread some great words, I have this issue with the woman that lives there and her kids and I put up with it for 2 years mine be it was trying to make a family look past everyones character defects and etc. but 2 years later am walking in the resentments road and I lock myself with my son away from everyone or disappear with him for hours only to return to chaos and unhealthiness. Not judging just saying brother. many a time we had talks but issues didn't change so start the talks...you sound like a strong man, keep your wife into how you feel and whats going on and deal with it together.

Re: Two (?) words: Wood Chipper!
 

Forrest, I may just drive on down and borrow that from ya. Hell, I'll even clean it when I'm done (might be alot of hair in there)!:r

Re: Lord give me strength
 

;s;s:np;s;s


Seriously, this is really getting out of hand and it's only Day Three. Send 'em to Jersey...I can just about guarantee they won't be returning to bother you ever again!

Re: Lord give me strength
 

Brother, if I toss anything at Jersey I guarantee it ain't gonna be dogs and in-laws!;) :r

Re: Lord give me strength
 

Have you considered sending them on one of those meetings where they sit for like 4 hours being told the wonders of time shares?

Say...all of them within a 2 hour drive?

Re: Lord give me strength
 

Watch dog bark on a hot summer night,
kill my in-laws, kill my in-laws,
watch dog bark, though he bite,
kill my in-laws, kill my in-laws,
slip in his window, break their neck,
then their house I start to wreck,
got no reason, what the heck!
kill my in-laws, kill my in-laws,
C-I-L-L my in-laws.

Re: Lord give me strength
 

Seems like a song that would have a banjo behind it, right?

Re: Lord give me strength
 

My in-laws routinely stay for a month. Of course, they live in Europe and my wife and I live in Michigan.

I honestly have nothing to complain about. I love my in-laws and they are great with my kids. After a while though my MIL starts driving my wife nuts.

Re: Lord give me strength
 

Actually an old SNL Eddie Murphy skit, substitute "landlord" for in-laws.

Re: Lord give me strength
 

Well Kevin after talking with you last night and then reading this thread, I feel for you bro, two weeks is a long time to hold your tongue. You keep a very nice clean home and a couple of mutts shouldn't be ALLOWED to disgrace it with piss. Maybe a trip to the neighbors house Smith&Wesson's is in order;):D:D

Re: Lord give me strength
 

Ah, yes. "Images" by Tyrone Banks.

Re: Lord give me strength
 

The Dude abides. At this point White Russians are your friend, my friend.

Keep your head up Brother!

Re: Lord give me strength
 

WINNER!
Just made my night Tom! :tu :r

Re: Lord give me strength
 

Now ya know why I really want to get away and hit the cigar lounge as often as possible! :ss

Re: Lord give me strength
 

Do it! I'd say you deserve it.

By the way. Just rewatched Christmas Vacation last nite and this thread came to mind...:r;s

Re: Lord give me strength
 

We're really gonna need a summary on this one, Kev. I just came and looked this thread up just so Lisa and I could see how it all worked out. :)

Re: Lord give me strength
 

Yes. Update PLEASE!

Re: Lord give me strength
 

Kevin had another thread where he said his FIL (not the one staying with him) passed away yesterday, so he might not be able to update here at the moment.

Re: Lord give me strength
 

Thank you Tom, you are correct. My true father in-law who just passed lived in northern Ca.
I will be up dating you all shortly on the further trails and tribulations here at the Casa as soon as I gather my scattered thoughts (and get back from the hardware store as I needed to pick up a shovel, lg plastic bags, duct tape and lye :r)

Re: Lord give me strength
 

Sorry for your loss. Glad to see you are back on the task at hand :)

Re: Lord give me strength
 

sorry for your loss but I see you've retained your sense of humor

Re: Lord give me strength
 

find a horse ranch, under the manure pile they go.....in about 3 weeks nothing left!!:D

Re: Lord give me strength
 

Sorry to hear about your Father in Law. I cant wait to hear more about your troubles on the home front though.

Re: Lord give me strength
 

hmmm my next door neighbor has horses....

On a serious note, sorry for your loss Kevin. Prayers sent.
