Thanksgiving-November 2010-HELP!

Liar’s & Lie’s
November 21,2010 - By John Lewis - lewis1946@cox.net

Since Thanksgiving is so close and I normally make it as easy on the cooks as well as everyone else in my family by taking them out for a Thanksgiving dinner. I have done this for years now. This year a little different than normal and I have a decision to make as to people that are no longer children, but act as if there six or seven years old. There are a few members of the family that has always been invited and this year I want to invite all those that I normally do. The problem is that the lie’s or liar’s still insist that they did not lie even when it is shown that they have. I fear for other members not having a good time, and even thinking of saying that family tradition is off for good. I always have looked at this tradition every year as we all work at our stressful jobs as most of us do, and a great release and say how we all love each other. Of course there is no love with a few that still won’t let by gone be just that and I am already getting phone calls as to if so and so can come as were worked things out between us. Then I say what about the other side of the families then. Well, if they don’t say nothing then we won’t. I said I can’t take that as I know the truth as well as you do and your wanting to already tell me that you want this and I already stated that he has never been a part of the family when I started this years ago. He said well I suppose I could tell him no, but I really wanted him there as a back up in case the other side started something. Then I started to think that here it is a few days until Thanksgiving and I already had all the invites arranged since last week. I asked why didn’t you call me last week or two weeks ago or even tell my kid or grandson as they work together about your feelings. Of course the lie is well I didn’t think of it until now. This one cousin attended a family get together for the very first time last year and met a gal with a large family and no one even knew any of them at the time. In fact they even invited many more people that we din’t know, but I am the type the more the merrier so never object. I did ask that they introduce everyone and of course no one did as they all wanted to just eat and leave. This time only the cousin wants to attend and it would be his second. I also really want him to as well as he is not as bad as he puts on to many just lonely and maybe feels left out a lot because of his anger and lie problem. I asked the family member why he would be even around this person after seeing him for three times now going off in a rage and beating on people for no reason what so ever. He said he is my cousin, and I don’t want to leave him out in case there is trouble. In case? I think to myself. In case. Now, I also had to listen to even lie’s from this person as to how my son has to loan me the money to pay for the dinner. Yes, this is part true, what the truth of the matter is that my property tax payment for some unknown reason never reached me, so I had to make up hundreds of dollars and that also cut into my Thanksgiving dinner plan this year. Yes, first time in thirty some years that I was ever late with property taxes. I pay bills as they come and if see nothing then there paid. I also know if this notice didn’t reach me that one would be sent to where I could sign for it next. In short someone that checks the mail didn’t give it to me or it really did get lost in the mail. I never have lost any mail in my life either until now. Anyway, I asked older son that if he was going to keep paying his rent up in advance. He said yes because he never knows when his hours will be cut and he has one of the best rooms in the house outside of me. What do I hear from this cousin is that I have to borrow the two hundred this year. Then I also have to hear that my grandson even gave me five bucks so that I would not starve. So, this person telling me all this states if I am hurting why didn’t I let him know and he’ll bring food over. I was flabbier gassed after hearing these lie’s and then was told not to say nothing to my son or grandson as they would know it came from him as they work together. I said first yes I was short for Thanksgiving dinner because of the property taxes but also knew that I would be caught up with no problem. Giving me five bucks by my grandson. No, my grandson placed a five dollar bill on my chest when leaving. I asked what is this. He said get something to eat. I said you don’t have to do thta as I have enough to eat on if I want to go out and get something. I have a baked potato that I wanted to heat up. In short he my grandson stretched the truth as if I am broke and going hungry. I said well great then grandson I will deduct that off the seven thousand dollars he owes on his bill. That was the end of that. Now I am really more fed up than anything else and just don’t want to hold the family tradition any longer. After all parts of familky don’t like each other again because of lie’s told and they refuse to admit who is the liar even when the truth is well known. For today I need to think if it is time to cancel all this free family traditions of loaning and helping any longer as people seem to know or do so much better and I could never make it without them. Which is untrue as I could live so much easier if I lived on my own and didn’t have all these bills for a six bedroom house and three baths coming in every month. But, I keep it because times will get worst before they get better and many people need a place to stay in these times that soon to befall everyone. My property is paid for in full, I still need to pay taxes as well as insurance as everyone else does and all those regular bills that come with a home. Things that many people can’t afford but I can like cable, phone gas, water, trash, this computer connection and so many other things. Cat and dog food and so on. I recall when I went to the doctor and my son and his son, my grandson said they were going to plot against me so they could have a party at the house and talk my doctor into placing me in the hospital. What these two kids didn’t know is that I am a vet and most doctors will listen to the patience before listening to there kid oe even grand kids. They were told if I felt I could not make it home then I should be in the hospital. I said I can make it home as my kid was driving. Slam dunk! The doctor then preceded to inform these two that I am a vet and well trained in mind and body and your dad knows when something is wrong before you ever will. That did shut them up but they stioll tell these lies around for what reason I still can’t figure out. But, since they all have places to go for Thanksgiving then I am thinking that they should go to all these places and we all do our own thing starting this year and from now on.
