Re: iN lAwS ... a rant session ...

I would be absolutey ticked off. Asthma is not contagious. At this

point even the lab techs at the hospital where I regularly present

don't even use their gloves when I come in. I am such a hard stick.

Maybe you should get a copy of that " Asthma for Dummies " book from

Amazon that we have all talked about lately.

boy. I was a little bit shocked though that on account of my severe

asthma they have blocked me from seeing or being around the baby, and

they enlisted the help of some of the other in laws to do so. I had no

idea their prejudice was so deep until now...I can't help but think

they're the scum of the earth...is that bad for me to think that? I

don't have any bad habits or any other illnesses besides asthma and

vcd so it was very surprising. I'm also very clean in appearance.

everyone see and hold their kid, but as soon as they see me around

they hide it like I'm some kind of criminal or something. When they

were in the hospital the first few days, I was a bit surprised that

every time we planned to go over and visit or bring them food or

something that another relative would find some excuse why they needed

to involve our family in chores that would coincidentally make it

impossible for us to see them; this continued for several days.

They're odd behavior made me think something odd was going on and then

one of them decided that it was her duty to talk to my wife that they

thought I shouldn't be around their baby.

> That's all fine and well but we had been renting part of their house

so I'm in front of their stupid-stition all the time and its very

annoying, not to mention that it makes it hard to avoid having other

odd behavior show up. It's still going to take a few weeks to find

another place to stay; but even so, we've never had any beefs, or

quarrels with them during our stay together. When I go outside my

room, they hurry and shut the door and activate fortress mode or

whatever they want to call it. It's a bit excessive. If I had AIDS

then I could maybe understand their behavior...but I don't have

anything like that.

> Anyway its kind of mind boggling that the 4 adults involved in this

behavior are acting like such retards. I wanted to write this letter

to get it out of my system. I never wanted to be around their kid

anyway, I'm busy enough trying to study for a teaching credential, but

it's kind of a pain in the ass being treated like their family dog.
