My kid-brother, DA'd for 6 years, came here to the Philippines to marry the love of his life. We invited our parents, both hard-core, active, fire and brimstone, book selling, family hating, rubba-flubs, and they came up with some cock-and-bull ($hit) story about how poor they were (gave it ALL to the watchliars, 1 million $+), and "would love to attend but couldn't afford it", and then announced that they were going to Florida for a 3 week vacation. Useless freaking religious crackpots.
Thanks for listening to me rant. Sorry.
