She makes choices in her personal life that are toxic. She has children and the family is concerned because her choices affect her kids. Her aunts tried to speak to her about the things that she does that especially affect her kids and her father defended her toxic behaviors. She lies about everything and her father knows this and still defends her. I try to not speak to her and I am kind to her children but I do not make any effort to have anything to do with her.

I’m so sorry. I have an old college class mate who is bipolar. She has made many choices that were toxic...and sadly one of her children died of an overdose while a freshman in college (it is believed that he was self-medicating). Her husband, after a titanic struggle for many years, divorced her and moved on to a happy life with a new wife and two new babies. The remaining children, for their own sake, have retained a close relationship with their father and step-mother and my college chum was forced to move very far away to a remote village where she manages to stay out of the amount of chaos she generated before. It is extremely sad to me...because she was one of the brightest, most brilliant lights at our college. Another college roommate remains homeless despite great success in business because she is a massive alcoholic and will not face the truth. Her life is complete destruction.

actually, i think it was "never give a sucker an even break", which was the title of one of his movies. he insisted upon shortening the title so that the marquee would simply say "W C FIELDS -- SUCKER".

It is pronounced "tee-shek."

If I recall correctly, it's something along the lines of "TAY-shock".

That's "Erin go bra-less".

Umm, Stephen, not to be too cranky here but taoiseach is the Gaelic word or name for the position of Prime Minister not a “fancy“ word. Gaelic is still a living language you know.
