       I am convinced cookies are the only reason we got out of this situation alive!  And we had cookies and Coronas, and canned cheese and spam for our celebration feast!  An international first!  However, since we didn't really fight really, I don't trust those slimey sloth like zombie swamp monsters and they may be back when the moon comes up - Hope you'll get yourself some armour, just in case there is another threat!  (plus, it was kinda fun!)   it kinda turned into a sorta short funny story!

    Well, other than being exceptionally angry. I am okay. Basically it's me and my roommate vs. his Dad...about the Dad's disabled brother whom we (roommate and I) take care of.
    
    Our disabled gentleman (he's completely wheel-chair bound) urinated on the floor on purpose this evening, and I told him that if I caught him doing it again again there would be consequences (i.e., he would be grounded to his room for a day)...and the Dad is going ape shit...But neither of us knows what to do--and we certainly don't want to send him to any of the nursing homes around here, because they are terribly sub-par.
    
    The Dad totally doesn't help us at all with this situation, but anytime anything happens, the Dad wants to be all up in the situation second-guessing us all the time (meanwhile, I have over ten years of experience doing exactly this stuff), and I'm getting pretty tired of being disrespected.

We've tried talking to him, and now it's come to being angry, because I'm tired of having my boundaries stomped.

    To be honest Spider, if he didn't pee in a common area, let it stay there until the dad cleans it up.  Or if he peed in his room, let him live with the smell.  That would teach him not to do it again.

    @Steven...The Dad contributes to the overall house in the way of paying some bills and getting groceries. But all of the rest of us contribute pretty much equally in that fashion. The Dad is not contributing the care of the Uncle (i.e., lifting him in and out of bed, making 3 meals a day, bathing him, shaving him...he's quite physically dependent). So, you're right--if he's not going to contribute to the physical work, he has no say in the rules and boundaries for care--that's exactly what all this is about.
    
    Things are calming down now, and we're talking about other things. I've sort of separated from the herd, so to speak...hence my presence here
    
    Enough of that mess!

    I have to agree with you Spider, it is the best portrayal of Doc Holliday.  Val Kilmer is a very good actor.  There is so many great things about that movie.  As far as my favorite actor I would have to make a list.  I have several.  Sam Elliot, Thomas Haden Church, Nicolas Cage, Orlando Bloom, Val Kilmer, Johnny Depp, and the list goes on.  These actors make a character come to life.  There are so many actors that make a character seem wooden and not real.  I hope that makes sense....

I'd also add Gary Sinise to that list personally...we need to think of some ladies...Kathy Bates comes to mind, Glenn Close, oooh! Sigorney Weaver--I like her a lot, too.

    oh im sorry, i can be a bit of a nerd when it comes to movies as you can tell.  i hope that doesn't bother you.  anyway, i just thought ledger's joker was better because of the way he was portrayed in the dark knight as not really a human being per say, but more of a satanic figure so to speak.  sure, in the film, he could've killed a lot of people himself like nicholson did with a electric hand buzzer or poisonous gas.  however, he'd rather tempt others to do it for him.  which makes his version that much more frightening as he's more of a monster if anything.

    I honestly had a hard time after Broke Back seeing anything else he did. I thought it was a really interesting movie but it just stuck in my brain.

    Jack Nicholson's version of the Joker was more like the actor in the 60's Batman TV show. 
    Heath Ledger(I think I spelled it right) had a more believable take on the ENTIRE persona of Joker.  In the comics and in the history that is the Batman universe, Joker is said to be a sadistically violent sociopath.  I honestly believed that in the Dark Knight.  There was no rhyme or reason for his actions, he just did what he wanted and if you remember he only killed two people himself.  One in the beginning at the bank heist.  And the other when he made the pencil "disappear".
