I know that this is a thread that doesn't concern chain saws, but I don't know where else to turn, and this is where I hang out a lot, but I need some advice. Talking with you guys is something I really enjoy doing, and I hope you guys feel the same with me.
You See. My Father passed away 10 years ago this Sept, and a couple years ago my Mother started seeing this guy, and fell head over heals for him. Since I started meeting this guy, I have found him to be quite the person that I feel that my mother shouldn't be hanging around. This guy is Deceitful, and a Liar
I caught him hitting on my girl friend, and the way he talked to her was not being a gentleman like at all. He was trying to talk her into taking off her top in front of him, and when I questioned him in front of my mother, he Lied about it, and my mother told me that he never said that at all, and I was wrong, and she took his side of the story. She told me she knew what he said. I told her I heard what he had said, and what he told you is two different things.
He has her believing that he knows more about everything, than I do. He knows more about Chain Saws, Snow Blowers, for behind Tractors, Hauling, and Loading Trailers than me. Well his experience doesnt mount to a hill of beans, and this is why.
His Chain Saw, He takes to a Small Engine Repair Shop for service, because he doesn't know how.
Me, My Father, and Great Uncle taught me how to properly look after my chain saws, and all farm equipment, ever since I was 10 or 12 years old. I also have a Plaque from Still hanging on my Shop Wall, stating that I'm a Certified Stihl Factory Service Technician, and I know Chain Saws like the back of my hand, inside out, and backwards. This guy says that a Chain Saw has cycles for speed, like it has a 2 speed transmission or something.
I've been raised on a farm, and have operated Tractors, and Snow blowers, and all types of farm equipment for over 30 years. Him 2 winters, and I don't know anything compared to him the subject.
He has hauled a trailer, or loaded a trailer, or what I call a Want to be trailer, behind a pick up truck a few times. Let me explain, I've driven Semi Tractor Trailers for over 13 years. I've even owned a couple of High Way Tractors, and just about hauled pretty much all over North America a quite a few times, from Liquid Tankers, to Van Trailers to Flat Bed Trailers, of every configuration, and even grain hoppers, and Dump Trailers. And this guy tries to tell me how to load a trailer, or how to haul one.
What really gets me with this guy, is that he has my mother convinced that he has Arthritis of the Blood. Internet is a wonderful thing, and I think that this guy needs to do some research, because I sure did. According to the Canadian Arthritis Society, the American Arthritis Society, there is No Such Thing.
Now this is where your advice comes in. How do I sit my Mother down, and tell her that this jerk is nothing but a Fake, and a Liar.
This is another Problem I have to deal with too. Ever since my Father passed away, I've never seen her this Happy in a long time. Do I just put up with this guys B.S. for her sake, Keep letting him try to show me up in front of my Mother, and let it eat me up inside, or set this guy straight.
I've already am suffering a Nervous Break Down over this, and presently seeing a Psycoligest over it.
This is why I'm seeking your advice, and help, and input. It will be greatly appreciated. Bruce.
