All in the Family

As Crabby Pants and I were looking through the odd news sites to see what idiocy took place this week, we noticed a number of stories involving families.

Check the Box

Eric Cloutier was cleaning up the clutter around his house but ended up making a huge mistake.
While Eric's wife was in the hospital having their 5th child, he decided to have a garage sale.

Racquel is hopeful someone will return her ring.

The problem was that before his wife, Racquel went to the hospital, she took off her $23,000 wedding ring and put it into an old watch box placing it under the liner. She thought it would be safe there.  Unfortunately, when she came home from the hospital on June 5th, she realized the box was missing.

It turns out the her well meaning husband had sold the box at his garage sale for $10.00.

For his part, Eric said he  thought the box was empty.Racquel and Eric are hoping that the buyer will do the right thing and return the ring.

Oh NO...Say it isn't so...Who do we feel the most sorry for??? 

Marriage Made in Heaven

Posing for the wedding photo

Days after celebrating his camouflage-themed wedding, an ex-convict was arrested by federal agents for allegedly failing to register as a convicted sex offender, court records show.

Jerry Wayne Dison was recently hitched to Bethany Barlow in an outdoor ceremony in Hunlock Creek, Pennsylvania. Which apparently came as a surprise to Dison’s “estranged wife,” according to a U.S. District Court “statement of facts” prepared by a federal marshal.


On June 5, Otika Dison told Alabama investigators that her husband had moved to Pennsylvania weeks earlier with Barlow, whom he planned to marry “despite not having a final decree of divorce in their marriage.”

As it turned out, Dison wed Barlow in mid-May and celebrated the nuptials with a June 1 shindig in Pennsylvania. The happy couple is pictured above with Barlow’s parents in a photo posted to Facebook. The bride’s father, Ronald Barlow, is seen holding a can of Bud Light in one hand and a shotgun with camouflage dressing in the other hand. An earlier photo shows Barlow carrying only the gun as he walked Bethany down the aisle/lawn.

Dison, who was convicted in January 2000 of the statutory rape of a  girl, was required to report to authorities his change of residency (as well as his arrival in Pennsylvania). As a result, he was arrested yesterday afternoon at his in-laws home on a felony charge of failing to register as a sex offender.

In post-release Facebook posts, Dison apologized to his in-laws for yesterday’s collar. “this should never have happened in ur house,” he noted. He also claimed that “Tika lied on me and had me locked up” and “Man guess I cant do nothing rite bullsh** just follows me.”  (Dison has a real way with words and spelling, it would seem.)

Who could have anticipated a troubled marriage when the camo attired groom has his father-in-law carrying a gun throughout the ceremony?

Brotherly Love

Authorities in Florida said they arrested a man accused of stabbing his brother during a fight about mac & cheese and beer.  

The Volusia County Sheriff's Office said a witness told deputies Randy Zipperer became upset Tuesday at his Deltona home when he was unable to locate his mac & cheese.  His brother 47 year old, younger brother was helping look for the pasta when he inadvertently tipped over Randy's beer.

Well, that didn't go well, and Randy stabbed his bro in the stomach with a kitchen knife.  Zipperer was arrested and charged with aggravated battery and obstructing an officer.


The real question here is "Where is the macaroni and cheese?" 

Eavesdropping Goes Viral
 

A young mom riding a train, Steph Strayer, claims she overheard a man bragging to his friends about his numerous affairs.  The more she heard the more it made her angry.
So she took it upon herself to get out her phone and snap a picture. 

Why?  Because, she posted it to her Facebook page hoping that it would find it's way to the guy's wife. 
 

She wrote: 

"If this is your husband, I have endured a two hour train ride from Philadelphia listening to this loser and his friends brag about their multiple affairs and how their wives are too stupid to catch on. Oh please repost ..."

So far the photo has had 272,717 shares.

News.com.au contacted Steph but we have yet to hear back from her.

It can not be confirmed whether this man did or did not actually have an affair or boast about it to his friends.  Which is why, this story seems to be generating a lot of comments.  There is no way to know if the man was saying this or if any of it's true.  Still he is being shamed on Facebook for his supposed bad behavior.  HHMMM is it fair to defame someone on FB without their knowledge???
