Almost Newlyweds...and Brother in Law
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 02-21-2013 - 2:55am
Hey All! I am in need of some serious advice, and was hoping to get some feedback.
I am getting married in about two weeks to a wonderful man, we have been dating for almost eight years- we are both in our late twenties. For the majority of our relationship, we have lived in different states but always managed to see each other on weekends. We have never technically lived together. He lives in Virginia, I live in Tennessee. After the wedding, our plan is to live in his condo until we find a house to buy. We have been actively searching for a house in my home state- but have not found anything worth placing an offer on. Our plan was to simply stay in his condo, that he already owns, until we find something suitable.
But...here is the problem. He has a younger brother, who is 26, who is now planning on living with us. I was just told this earlier this week. He has never had a steady job, doesn't have one friend, and is fully supported (financially) by his parents. He will accumulate thousands of dollars on his credit card bills buying guitars and man jewelry- and the bills are magically paid for each month by the parents. The one and only job he had lasted about 2 months- he ended up being fired because he was caught stealing. This was over 8 years ago. His parents pay his rent, bought him a new car, and never encourage him to get a job or meet people (that's a whole other post!). I have tried to encourage my fiance to build this guy's self esteem so that he can have a productive life, but he doesn't want to get involved and thinks that he is completely fine.
Right now, my future brother in law is living with his other brother- but this brother is relocating for work so he will not be going with him. This brother is constantly complaining about him, because he never leaves their apartment. He sits on the couch all day, literally, watching TV and eating snacks. He will be on the couch from 7am until midnight. He is extremely anti-social and gets very upset if his routine gets interrupted. He gets annoyed at the brother's girlfriend if she comes over too often, and will shoot her evil glares if she opens the refrigerator without asking first. I have gotten these looks before from him, and I will tell you- it's incredibly creepy. He can go from being very moody and eerie to very friendly and kind. I am convinced he has a social anxiety problem and also a mental disorder.
When my fiance and I started dating years ago- his brother would never say hello to me. He would pretend that I wasn't there. If i walked in the door and would say hello, he would turn his head the other way and stare at me out of the corner of his eye. He started acknowledging my presence about four years into the relationship- I would only get a head nod and a grumbly 'hello.'
He always goes to my fiance's condo to stay (his apartment is about 30 minutes away), and will often stay for 2-3 weeks at a time. It is very difficult for me to go visit my fiance when his brother is there, because it is pretty uncomfortable for me. The condo is on the small side- and since the brother NEVER leaves the house, there is no getting away from him. It is rare for my fiance and I to have any alone time when the brother is there. He is very reliant on my fiance- he can't go to the bank or store alone, and can't even order food at a restaurant without clamming up. He really relies on my fiance for everything when he is visiting, so I try to stay away when I know that he is there. To remind you- no one in this family thinks he has a problem, they think he is completely normal and does not need any help.
I always assumed that since my fiance and I are getting married- that the brother would find his own place. But, he now has decided that he will be living with us since the other brother is moving away. He will be moving into the condo the week after our wedding. So basically, we will be coming back from our honeymoon and the brother will already be living there.
There is no telling how long it will take us to buy a house, so I am very concerned about how long we will be living with his brother. I voiced my concerns to my fiance, and he responded in a pretty harsh way. He said that this is his brother, and that I cannot make him choose between me and his 'blood' family. I explained to him that the first months of being newlyweds are so crucial...this is our first time living together, and we need to set our routine and get used to living with each other. I explained to him that having his brother there would put a damper on so many things. He agreed to an extent, but said that we would just have to adjust to living with a third person.
His parents offered to have him live with them in California- but the brother's response was that he didn't know anyone there and that he wanted to live near my fiance instead. He has other options, but he just doesn't want to explore them. His parents had no problem with this- and think it's a decent idea that he lives with us since he is 'so familiar' with us.
His brother did make a comment to me last week that he is 'looking forward to moving to Tennessee with us.' I asked my fiance about this afterwards, and he said that his brother is thinking of following us there- but that he would get his own apartment. We'll see.
I feel like I am in a very tough spot right now. I want our marriage to be successful, and I know it is going to be a transition since neither one of us has ever lived with anyone but our immediate families. He has all brothers, and I have all sisters- so this is going to be a real transition for both of us! We want to start having a family right away, and I just don't feel comfortable trying to get pregnant when I have his eerie brother living in such close quarters with us.
His brother will be home ALL day long- so that could make life really awkward for me. If I sit down to watch TV with the brother, he will sit in silence and not say a word to me. I'm afraid that if I'm home alone with him, I will just have to sit in our bedroom until my fiance gets home. I really feel like I'm going to be walking on eggshells 24/7. I'm worried that his brother is going to put a lot of stress on us as newlyweds, I am so desperate for our relationship to start off on the right foot.
Another concern I have is that I am very afraid to leave my dog home alone with the brother. I pray that he wouldn't harm my dog, but I have this odd feeling that there is a chance that he would- maybe as some sort of retaliation of he got mad at me for something. My dog is like my child- I am even considering bringing her to work with me (thank god my boss will allow it).
Once we do buy a house, I will absolutely put my foot down and not allow him to live with us. If I am afraid of him being home alone with my beloved dog, I sure will not feel comfortable having him be alone with my children. If he has his own apartment, I can handle that.
Do you guys think I am being too harsh about this living situation once we get married? Should I just suck it up and try to go with the flow, or am I right in being very upset by all of this?
Thanks in advance :)

Replied to your other posts in "Living Together". There is no way you could have a happy marriage unless your fiance kicks his brother out.
And it won't get better. Go take a look at the posts under "Friends and Family" and "In-Laws".

Hi there & welcome to the group,
Have to say right off the top of my head it sounds like a very bad idea to have his brother live with you.
You're in a tough spot & I think you need to really discuss this before marriage.
You are right in saying there must be some issues with the 26 year old brother.
As no his life is not so normal so to speak.
He needs to live with his parents or elsewhere but not you guys .. mho
Good luck & let us know what happens :)

I have many posts in the "In Lsw" board but my issues have been resolved so they are years old. My issue was my MIL but I still understand the sticky situation.
I disagree with the others that you cannot have a healthy & strong marriage in this situation. Even if my MIL has to move in here, I would survive it and our place is small. You do what you have to do for your family. They depend on you and they are what matter most in life.
HOWEVER, your fiance needs to understand that you two are staring a NEW family and that should be his #1 priority. When you are his wife, you have to come first before everyone and anyone. Of course, it would be a very rare occassion that he would ever have to show you this by actions. HIs "old" family is now his "extended" family. He needs to understand this.
I think it is troubling that a) he made this decision w/o discussing it with you b) you made assumptions about his brother without talking to him about it c) that he was harsh (defensive?) about his brother w/o evening acknowledging how you feel (this makes me suspicious that he was told by brother/family members you wouldn't like it and he was ready for the "fight" or he felt you were attacking his brother instead of just voicing your feelings). Good, honest, open communication is essential in a great marriage.
If I were you, I would sit him down and tell him what your reservations about this situation. Tell him what you appreciate how he feels about his brother - in fact, his love & commitment to family makes him quite the catch! But you need to discuss these things together in future. And you need to have some boundaries. And fo you, you need to discuss what happens if this doesn't work out? What is the game plan then? And what does "not work out" look like so that you can keep a good r/ship with his brother and extended family. This is EXTREMELY important.
Are you willing to have brother move w/you to Tennessee? If not, be CLEAR and voice that NOW. Make sure everyone's intentions are clear.
If you two can work throught this before your marriage then all the better. This kind of "work" is what ppl refer to when they say marriage takes "work". This is great training for the two of you.
Also, please try to have some compassion for his brother. It sounds as tho he may have Asperger or some social disorder but so? There is no treatment or drugs for it...so perhaps his family is overprotective of him for a reason. Just as his silence is unnerving for you, having a chatty person around might be for him...it works both ways :) My DS1 is very quiet and withdrawn - tho he doesn't have anything wrong with him, people who don't know him well always wonder. If you are really concerned about your dog, ask your DH about family pets and fish around for information. Obviously don't ask him outright! But if his brother had a family pet with a long life, you are probably ok. Take him work tho if you really want to - it is your pet and your decision.
Good luck and keep us posted :)

Oh and two things I forgot!
- The reason I disagree with others is that you don't want his whole family turning on you. Or your DF harboring resentment toward you.
- Also, please don't hold what happened with the other BF's gf on the brother. You have no idea what happened in their r/ship. Try to forge your own r/ship with him independantly of your feelings about the past or the fact that he may be an obstacle. If this doesn't work out, it will be bc you didn't try. Your DF will see - even if that is in the future - and he will love and appreciate you for your patience and kindness.

Wow. This is a giant red flag that your future husband is not acknowledging your feelings about having another party live with you. It's his way or no way. Even if you get along with another family member or friend, most people would not be comfortable with that person living with you. You need to be comfortable in your home, and that's not possible when there's someone else besides your spouse wanting to watch other t.v. programs, eating meals with you, and you never have alone time, which is crucial for a person's well being.
I'm going to take a strong position that you shouldn't go forth with the wedding until this issue is resolved. I recommend pre-marital counseling, so that your fiance can get a third party's nonpartial view of the issue. Major things that need to be decided before a couple is married is if they will have children or not, whether or not they will engage in religious activities, who will be responsible for which chores, and what the living arrangements will be.
I would absolutely refuse to move into a home where his brother will live. You can see that you are less of a priorit;y than his brother if he won't budge. If you comply and let the brother live with you, you've lost for the present and the future. If you can't put your foot down now, don't fool yourself that when you buy a house together, that he will somehow give in about his brother. This is what your life will be. A life of misery with a smelly fish in your lilfe every day. It will be a huge strain on your marriage and therefore your life.
You only have one life to live on this planet. I know you've invested 8 years in this relationship, but if you're only in your late twenties, it means you probably have another 50 or 60 years left to live. Don't settle and live a miserable life because you're fiance won't budge on a very unreasonable demand. You are not a sacrificial lamb. You need to stick up for your rights. It's okay to help out family once in a while, but letting this particular family member live with temporarily or permanently which it most likely will turn out to be, is way too much to ask. If I were you, I would let your fiance know you're a strong independent woman who will fight for her happiness. I would put the wedding on hold, insist on premarital counseling. DO NOT go through with the marriage if he won't budge, since this means that he doesn't care about your feelings and it's his way or the highway. You need a partner who will always put you first. Let us know how it goes. Good luck.

This puts you in a very difficult situation. It was very unfair for your DF to tell you a few weeks before the wedding that guess, what? my strang brother is going to be living with us. It would be enough of a strain to find out that a normal family member would be living with you as newlyweds full time when you have never lived together yourselves and need time to adjust to that. Obviously there is something wrong with this guy who is 26, doesn't work & is being supported by family--it could be Asperger's or some other mental disorder. So in 8 yrs, no one has ever mentioned that anything is wrong with the brother? You have never discussed this w/ your DF? It's like the elephant in the room and you need to discuss it now--has he always been like this? Have they ever sent him for treatment (or course now that he's an adult, no one can force him to get treatment), and what is the plan after the parents die? Are they going to leave all their money to him? Are the other brothers expected to support this guy forever? I think you need to know these things going in--and believe me, once he is living with you, you are probably stuck with him forever--if he is planning to move to Tenn. when you move, then I doubt he'll get his own place--by that time, your DH will be saying "well why have him get his own place where he doesn't know anyone?"
What do you think would happen if you just said that you don't want brother living with you & you're willing to postpone the wedding--do you think DF would pick brother over you? I think it's just very upsetting that he "told" you that this is the way things are going to be instead of discussing it with you.
I can see some situations where a family member is going to have to be taken care of but that should be something that is hashed out before the wedding so the person goes into it willingly, not as a surprise that they have no choice on. I have 2 nieces--the 23 yr old one is normal, college grad. The 19 yr old one has something "off" about her--the parents have never said what is wrong, but it's pretty obvious to everyone else that there is something different. Maybe Asperger's. She graduated from high school and she's attending comm. college (only a couple of classes) but she says it's difficult--yet she seems smart. It's more social awkwardness--she acts more like a 13 yr old. She doesn't have a driver's license and has never had a job. I do think she will be able to have some kind of job in the future but probably not a high paying one, so I can see that her sister will probably have to look out for her somewhat after the parents are gone. So I wouldn't say that would necessarily mean that the older sister should never be able to find a DH--but you have to have the right person and it's something that has to be discussed openly so that the person is willing to go into this situation.

Hmm...my stepsister is a lot like that and there is nothing "wrong" with her. Why must we label ppl who are different as off or wrong? My stepsister was 26, living with her parents, working PT and no college. She spent every day in her room reading and all her money on her "children" - 2 horses and eventually 3. She has since moved out and lives in a trailer on someone's property as she tends their horses. As she nears 30, she is just now starting to think about her future and act like an adult. I know why she is this way by my mother refuses to acknowledge it as it is something that you do not speak of.
|Sun, 03-03-2013 - 10:02pm
What your step sister is or does is completely irrelevant in this discussion. Whether you accept your mother in law or not is also irrelevant. The issue is the OP feels uncomfortable with living with her future brother in law and is worried about the safety of her dog, yet her fiance was not acknowledging her concerns and making them a priority.

The perfect antidote to the McSplainer. Gisteo creates one-of-a-kind marketing videos built to engage, entice & convert.

- Cut through the clutter & stand out from your competitors
- Turn confusing blah-blah into aha! moments
- Connect with their heart not just their head

Now then…a bit more about Gisteo
Clearly communicating your value proposition is everything, especially in today's hyper-connected, attention-challenged world. Your competition is literally just a click away. Every product or brand, no matter the size or sector, has a compelling story to tell and a carefully crafted video is the perfect medium to take your message to the next level. For many, however, the process of getting a video made is painfully intimidating, far too expensive or utterly disappointing given the overabundance of uninspiring order takers and fly-by-night "McSplainer" producers out there.
Gisteo digs deep to tell you story in a way that engages, entertains and enlightens your audience. We're dedicated to creating what's right for you and your needs- not what's convenient to us. With Gisteo, there's no unnecessary puffery, egos or shenanigans in the process. Just powerful ideas, freakish attention to detail, and extensive know-how, wrapped in fast, friendly, affordable service.
Gist + Video = Gisteo
noun [jist]
|The central meaning or theme; the main idea. The choicest or most essential part of a concept.
noun [jist-ee-oh]
|1. A glorious animated marketing video that communicates the gist of a brand, product, service or idea.
2. The name of the friendly, creative company that produces gisteos.

Good gisteos are like snowflakes- no two are exactly alike. Unlike snowflakes, however, these things don't melt unless you were to place your laptop or device in a microwave (not recommended). We customize every project to the unique needs and preferences of our clients, while also carefully considering how and where they plan on using their gisteo (review 15 common ways to use a gisteo). We shun the lazy "McSplainer"-style work that has flooded the market over the past couple of years. Our versatility, creativity and flexibility set us apart from others in the industry.

2. Diverse animation styles
Once you have your story, you need to bring it to life. In this regard, Gisteo isn't a "one trick pony." Motion graphics, whiteboard, cartoon, 3D, kinetic typography…we offer a wide array of versatile styles tailored to your unique script.
3. Value-for-money
Honestly, we can't compete with those guys from faraway lands promising $300 videos. Nor can we beat the crowdsourcing sites filled with hungry freelance students low-balling each other to get their first gigs. What we can do is offer you fast, attentive service with no games or surprises and extensive know-how- all at a very fair, competitive price.
4. Experience

I've decided to just let it go.. Because if he really wants to do something with me before summer is over.. He will find a way to get to me. Too bad tonight is the only night I can do something before summer ends, because we go back to school on Wednesday, and there is NO way my dad will let me go anywhere on Tuesday night. Oh well, I guess if he wants to see me, he'll call sometime today, and we will chill. If not, oh well. That's life, and sometimes life isn't all hearts and flowers, rainbows and puppies.. And I would get sick if it was.I am going shopping tomorrow. I am super excited to the max. I love going clothes shopping for school. I always buy stuff that no one else wears, or I usually make my own shirts. I need to go back to doing that, because it's fun being all creative and putting my special touch on my articles of clothing. It rocks.So my sister had a few of her guy buds come over last night at like 1:30 in the morning. It was funny, they left and came back.. And then they left again, and came back one more time. lol.. Finally they left about 4:30 in the morning. lol.. I came in the house, changed into my p.j's and went sleepy-by. Boy was I beat.So here I am now praying that Jay will call me. Part of me wants to call him, and the other part wants him to call here first. It's kind of like this little test my mind is playing out, just to see how much he really does like me. I guess we'll see. lolI should update again today.. As for right now, I am going to eat some Ho-Ho's or Ding Dong's.. Whichever we have. lol

31,000 Tumblekins Toys Recalled by International Playthings Due to Choking and Laceration Hazardsby Lisa Arneill+ in Parenting, Recalls
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with International Playthings LLC, today announced a voluntary recall of about 31,000 Tumblekins Toys. The toys can break into small pieces with sharp points, posing choking and lacerations hazards to children.
The firm has received one report of a toy breaking into small pieces. No injuries have been reported.
This recall involves all Tumblekins toy vehicles and playsets, including the farm playset, fire station, police car, roadster, off-roader, fire truck and school bus.

I love movies and as I've gotten older I not only enjoy the movies for what they are but have come to appreciate how a movie is constructed in terms of its story and cinematography. So when I see an article about Damon Lindelof describing both the writing process and how a story can morph because of the modern studio system I am hooked. If you don't know who Lindelof is you have likely seen a tv show or movie influenced by him. He executive produced Lost, and has writing credits on Cowboys & Aliens, Prometheus, Star Trek: Into Darkness, and World War Z. And those are just the big ones, he has been involved in lots of other shows and movies as a writer and producer.
In an article which originally appeared in New York Magazine Lindelof describes how a simple adaptation of the fable of John Henry and how he beat the steam powered drill goes from small stakes but big moral of the story takeaway to huge world saving stakes. All because the modern studio system demands a product which can be easily sold to as many people as possible, and because there are only a few story beats which are easily translatable to a large mass of people there are only so many ways to tell those same stories without having to increase the stakes with each iteration. So in the original Superman films with Christopher Reeve it was enough that Superman saved Louis Lane. Now, it seems like it is not enough unless Superman saves the world.
From the middle (Link to the full article):
"It sounds sort of hacky and defensive to say, [but it's] almost inescapable," he continues. "It's almost impossible to, for example, not have a final set piece where the fate of the free world is at stake. You basically work your way backward and say, 'Well, the Avengers aren't going to save Guam, they've got to save the world.' Did Star Trek Into Darkness need to have a gigantic starship crashing into San Francisco? I'll never know. But it sure felt like it did."
With that in mind, I've given Lindelof—who's written some hugely embiggened pictures and successfully wrestled others down to human scale—a challenge that only a five-star general in Hollywood's elite fantasy screenwriting corps would have the chops to attempt: Pitch us a summer blockbuster based on something very, very unblockbustery, a simple American tall tale. Let's say, the ballad of folk hero John Henry: the nineteenth-century ex-slave who raced a steam-tunneler through a mountain, won, and perished, the first martyr in the great war twixt Man and Machine. Lindelof, not missing a beat, tongue firmly in cheek but mind fully engaged, dives in—no notes, no pauses, barely stopping for breath. Then he goes even further, giving us anticipated revisions as the notes come in, as the blockbuster hormones surge, as Story Gravity takes hold.
"Well, I think the first thing that would happen is you would say the fundamental, most important part of the story is that he dies—[and that] he is victorious, he beats the machine. It's the triumph of the human spirit over technology. But with that comes a price. And all the studio execs would say, 'Absolutely. That's what we love about this story.' Two drafts later somebody would say, 'Does he have to die?' "
Read the full article if you are at all interested in the construction of the modern blockbuster, you won't be disappointed.

CES 2014: Popular Mechanics Editors' Choice Awards
The world's biggest consumer electronics extravaganza is in full swing, and we've seen every curved TV, Bluetooth-enabled toothbrush, and robotic gadget in Las Vegas. Here's the best of the show, the items you really want to know about in 2014.
By The Editors
Parrot Minidrone and Jumping Sumo
The new generation of personal drones are remarkably steady in the air and easy to fly, but most drones meant for indoor use have remained balky and frustrating to control. The Minidrone, made by the makers of the AR.Drone, is a lightweight, superstable, small, and incredibly fun flying machine. Like its big sibling, it's got four rotors and plenty of power, plus a suite of sensors onboard to keep it stable in the air: large detachable wheels make it effective on the ground, as well. The Minidrone shares this award with the Jumping Sumo, which isn't actually a drone, but a two-wheeled little monster that rolls at high speed, turns with remarkable speed and agility, and is capable of jumping explosively, several feet into the air. It's weird in the best possible sense of the word. Both machines (the word "toys" seems too weak for these devices) are controlled through a mobile app.
Price: TBA, but certainly much less than the $300 price of the AR.Drone
Availability: Sometime in 2014

Today, progressively more people are booting up their computer systems and using online research engines to discover the information they may be in search of. Actually, far more individuals are employing the internet to search for local firms compared to old standard strategy of rifling through the telephone book.
There is a host of good reasons why people today are doing this. Some, especially younger generations which were taught to get computer savvy, really do not even contemplate the telephone book like a supply of community information and facts. People locate they are able to get much more from a nearby search on the internet concerning business internet sites, reviews and purchaser testimonials.
There are many various methods a business can consider to ensure they can be identified within a local lookup. To begin with, Google and Yahoo! are the two most popular lookup engines and it's a great idea for all enterprises to begin their community research technique with them. Both equally occur to get free and in a very issue of minutes, a company can be outlined and simply uncovered.
Initial, being a home business operator, add your business to Google Areas. It is significant at this point when filling out the needed fields that all information is proper and there aren't any spelling mistakes. Google will prompt you to fill out a profile. Fill it out absolutely and take benefit of your alternative to include added subject material, video clip and photos to get on Google's excellent facet.
Whilst you're at Google ensure to join a Google AdWords account at the same time. When you are signed up you are able to create an ad marketing campaign. This can be significantly a lot easier than it sounds. Ensure your ad marketing campaign is targeted in your geographical region. Your ad will only demonstrate as much as people employing Google in that area.
Now it's time for you to head on more than to Yahoo and record your company in Yahoo! Neighborhood with the Yahoo! Neighborhood Listing Middle. Once again, ensure that all of your info is entered effectively with no spelling problems. Only the essential Listing option is free of charge so you will need to build a Yahoo account in order to do that. The identical is legitimate for Google. The entire approach takes a few minutes.
Google and Yahoo! are only two with the many research engines you could include a listing to and both equally exhibit a map together with your pinpointed area. They can be probably the most extensively employed so it is a very good plan to get started on with these. You can also look at Bing or even a list of other research engines by working a fast research to discover what other search engines are out there.

Size Comparisons
Download 90-day trial
To show the higher compression ratios that can be achieved by DotNetCompression we compared the sizes of a large number of documents
that were compressed using the
GZipStream class of DotNetCompression and the
GZipStream class of .NET.
In all the following comparisons it is clear that DotNetCompression compresses more than .NET does. If you wish to skip the details,
you can go directly to the summary and graphs.
For our measurements we used 392 documents from 25 publicly available sources on the Web, their sizes ranging from
about 100 bytes to more than 1 GB.
The following tables display the size of the original files and their size when compressed by DotNetCompression and by .NET. Smallest collections
are listed first, largest last. All sizes are in bytes.
Compression ratios indicate the relative size of the original file against the size of the compressed file. For example, a 1:0.20 ratio indicates that the size of the
compressed file it refers to is a fifth of the size of the original file.
We used Z Compressor 1.2.0 to compress with the GZipStream of
DotNetCompression and MSGZ Compressor 1.1.0 to compress with the
GZipStream of .NET. All documents were retrieved in June 2007 and links to their original locations are provided; please
note that many of these documents are updated often, so their content and size might have changed since.

I really can not thank our local ambassadors Andrina Kelly and Jo Mallyon as well as Pete Shaw from British Kite Sports enough for making yet another great event happen."
Participant Sophie Payne about the event: "I just want to say a massive thanks to everyone. The Event was great fun and I'm so happy I was able to participate. I have met so many fantastic girls and we have all pushed each other a lot. I am already looking forward to next years event."

The reticle demonstrates its versatility for a host of close quarter and long range engagement scenarios … there is no compromise between speed and precision accuracy.
Heads Up, Full View
EoTech Holographic Sights employs a true Heads-Up Display that eliminates blind spots, constricted vision, or the tunnel vision associated with tubed sights. All user controls are flush to the EoTech Holographic Sights with streamlined housing with no protruding knobs, battery compartments or mounting rings that block the shooters vision of the target area. True, 2 eyes open shooting is realized. Instant threat identification is achieved by maximizing the operator's peripheral vision and ultimately gaining greater control of the engagement zone.

Why would you ever want to minimize anything without the task bar as the only means of context switching? Even alt-tab shows you window previews.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

The issue and circulation of currency notes and coins is subject to the provisions of law (32) of 1968 concerning currency, the Central Bank of Kuwait (CBK) and the organization of the banking business in the country. Accordingly, the issuing of Kuwaiti currency is the State's exclusive privilege, solely exercised by CBK.
The unit of currency in Kuwait is the Kuwaiti Dinar (KD), divided into one thousand Fils.
Currency notes are issued by the CBK in the following denominations: quarter dinar, half dinar, one dinar, five dinars, ten dinars and twenty dinars.
There have been six issues of Kuwaiti currency notes since the introduction of the State's legal tender in 1961. The sixth issue was released into circulation on June 29, 2014. The new banknotes was developed in an innovative manner that guarantees an excellent quality, security measures and aesthetic appeal which includes many of Kuwait's accomplishments, its citizens' uplifting spirit and other national aspects.
Launching the sixth issue of the new Kuwaiti banknotes into circulation will not affect the validity of the current fifth issue of the Kuwaiti banknotes, which will maintain its legal validity until an official decision to withdraw it from circulation is announced.

Now Smack the Little Midget Dictator Around With a Rolled Up Constitution
And smack those other 2 judges around too.
In a Thursday 4-2 decision, New York's highest court refused to reinstate former Mayor Michael Bloomberg's ban on soft drinks being served in cups or containers bigger than 16 ounces.
After two lower courts had previously ruled against the city, this was the city's last appeal on the issue, officially rendering the ban dead.
According to The New York Times, Judge Eugene Pigott Jr. wrote in a 20-page opinion that the New York City Board of Health had "exceeded the scope of its regulatory authority."

Ding Dong, the witch is dead. (And Twinkies and Ho-Hos, too.) One small step back toward the Constitution and sanity.+6
Great, now all those businesses that spent money restocking and organizing (new displays and/or shelving along with changing menus), can now sue the idiot for compensation.+7
Mini-O will be back, they didnt take away his pen and phone.+2
Good on the soda cups.
Now about this "Stop and Frisk" bullshit…+1

Good, now bring back the trans fats just to piss him off.+9
Globalists are not for the individual. Unless the individual is with a mass of other individuals, herded into centrally planned 'communities' for integration and control by the authorities. Now, on to my 44 oz drink from my favorite fast food restaurant to wash down the combo. Ain't Obamacare great? Come July, watch out.+3
Every time I think of beating a politician with a rolled up constitution, with a pipe inside, I have a look at the "Click me to donate to IOTW" photo of Sarah on the right and put the pipe down and smile.
That happens with almost every post.+4
All because the little turd cant hold a 32oz cup in his little hands….+5
On the count of 10, tweet your pics of

Little man syndrome.+1
Idea from producers of Atlas Shrugged:
It's post-it note time. Message: Who is John Galt?+2
Not satisfied with his opulent lifestyle, this old, impetuous demagogue developed (like so many others in history) the classic god-complex and diverged from rational thinking to that of an ostentatious benevolence soaked in self-pretentiousness. These are of the aberration one must wait to expire, unfortunately with exasperation and fortuitousness.+3
@Plain Jane – who do you think is John Galt? See the last movie starts on 9/12/14!!!0
Gee I guess his money can't buy everything.+1

Financial Markets and Institutions:
High Yield Bond Market
T-GGD-89-9: Published: Mar 2, 1989. Publicly Released: Mar 2, 1989.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
GAO discussed: (1) the use of high-yield bonds in corporate takeovers; and (2) federally insured thrift institutions' high-yield bond investments. GAO noted that: (1) high-yield bonds provided 12 percent of financing for hostile corporate takeovers, although some initial financing sources were refinanced using high-yield bonds; (2) the high-yield bond market grew from about $9 billion in 1977 to $180 billion at the end of 1988; (3) high-yield bonds facilitated merger financing and thrifts' commercial lending abilities, and provided small- and medium-sized firms with access to long-term capital markets, higher returns, and opportunities to diversify geographically; (4) the Federal Reserve System issued guidelines to assist its examiners in identifying highly leveraged bank financing that could warrant closer scrutiny; (5) thrift investments in high-yield bonds grew from less than $6 billion in 1985 to over $13 billion in September 1988; (6) 10 thrifts held about 76 percent of the total bond investment, with an average bond-to-total asset ratio ranging from 3.8 to 32.2 percent; (7) federal regulations limited thrifts' high-yield bond investment to no more than 11 percent of their assets, although six states had laws that allowed thrifts to invest higher percentages; (8) studies have indicated that thrifts' investments in high-yield bonds have provided high returns but also some bank management problems; and (9) the Federal Home Loan Bank Board issued bond purchasing and management guidelines for federally insured thrifts.
