[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 227283, member: 1024"] I had to bring this back up. I was too wrapped up in the goings on of the day, so I couldn't really think, but as I posted on another thread..... husband's uncle has always been a major difficult child/bum/blacksheep of the family. He's been a drug user and can't hold a job...ever. Some major events happened in the past year or so. He's finally clean for 8 months. He still doesn't have a job, but is getting an allowance from his mother's estate and husband's dad and mom are helping him out a bit. Anyway, he's saved his money from his allowance and bought all of the ladies pointsetta flowers. Not little ones either. They were nice sized ones. He gave everyone lottery tickets too. This, from a guy who complains (in the past) that there isn't enough shrimp on the table and who actually gave me a stained, stinky, halloween shirt for christmas one year. The second thing is also from the same person. He's always been negative and complaining every time we've seen him in years past. He was actually pleasant and coopertive. He even went in the other room to smoke so it wouldn't bother us. WOW! What a drastic change. So, I guess we did have a couple of Christmas miracles this year. [/QUOTE]
