God Bless Us.....especially Pepto Bismol

So, first of all, let me say, that the gifts I received were wonderful.  My family was great.  My decorations were great.  And my mother in law? Let's say that she worries too much

Dear Johnny,

What's the best way to get a relative to stop acting like a bitch and start acting like a responsible being?

Dear Jessica:

Relatives ARE bitches. Getting them to act responsibly can be done, but they're still bitches. I would advise you to acquire large quantities of scotch, or martinis, if they're your taste; That'll take the edge off of things, and give you some time to think.

Want relatives to be responsible? Explain to them how proud you are that they are taking care of these things for everyone, and how much the Family is counting on them to be successful. Guilt and Pressure work well!

Failing that? Steal Their Soul, then Condition them when you've got them at your mercy.

Thanks, Mr. Giovanni! I'm already following the first part (scotch, bourbon, and/or mass quantities of wine help for a while), and I will enact the second. Really, I think it's got a better shot at working than the pile of frustration I've got.

The third, though...if forcing them to read Twilight and then exposing their innocent minds to my mother in full nag mode doesn't work, I'll call your offices to make arrangements.

I hope it all goes well!

Warmest Regards,
Johnathan.

Not a question so much as an amused observation... the last mission I ran in City of Villains involved reclaiming the soul of crooner "Johnny Sonata." With the character and his speaking style, I kept seeing it as "Johnny Giovanni." :)

There is definitely something awful going around. I'm glad that you're feeling better, bro.

[rojir]

Thanks, me too!

Ugh I feel your pain. The last day of our honeymoon and the proceeding week I was drinking Pepto like it was water and sipping on Gatoraid. I have no idea how I made it through the flight home and that first week back at work.

I am glad to hear you are feeling better!

[rojir]

Thanks....your question?

[stefhen19]

I honestly do not have one at this moment in time...I shall have to ponder it some more.

[rojir]

Done pondering?

Johnathan,

What would be the best way for me to make some quick cash that won't be illegal or unethical?

If you have any capital at all, I would suggest some short term investing. I would be more than willing to give you some advice in that regard. Health Care stocks and Bio-Research are huge growth potential. Either that, or you can take advantage of a short-fall in the market.
