LookieNoNookie -> My brother is now.... (6/4/2014 6:50:25 PM)
Officially under the knife. Driving 7 hours to visit him tomorrow...made me promise not to tell Mom (whom I'm taking with me tomorrow a.m. for a "nice getaway....you and I haven't spent enough time together")...she'd freak....it's a BIG operation and he's her oldest....could very well die before we get there. But he said "DO NOT TELL HER!!!!!"....so, I respected my brothers request and told her "we're just gonna go surprise him and say "heya"". Should be a good drive. My Mom's a fucking loon, funnier than shit. No matter what happens, it'll be a good memory. Just hoping my brother's still alive when we get there. (He owes me 12 bucks....and I intend on collecting).

Best wishes for your brother. It just doesn't seem like the greatest idea to keep this a secret from your mom, loony though she may be, then spring it on her when you get to the hospital parking lot. And if your brother is that much at risk, don't you think she'd want to know that? And if he gets mad at you for telling her, throw him a bone and forgive the $12.

I am also the type of person who won't break a promise or go back on my word. Your brother knows you well enough that he'll appreciate your creative approach, sooner or later. You would want him to have done the same. To guide you on your journey, and may it be a fortuitous one: [image]local://upfiles/1774587/42453A81FA584BC1A1B3C079BA95D594.jpg[/image]

I think you're right on the informing Mom....and I was thinking of kind of drifting into that about an hour away but....the 12 bucks.....that was cash.

JstAnotherSub -> RE: My brother is now.... (6/7/2014 5:59:04 AM)
good deal for him, how many times did mom hit you upside the head for not telling her sooner? :o)

smileforme50 -> RE: My brother is now.... (6/7/2014 8:02:20 AM)
Thank goodness....we were all wishing the best. But I do have to echo the question that was asked.... quote: ORIGINAL: JstAnotherSub good deal for him, how many times did mom hit you upside the head for not telling her sooner? :o)

How could she not? But something tells me the loon doesn't fall far from the tree.
