AT-ST

My mom's best friend "Mary" had a daughter that tried to kill her husband and children. Mary, and a lot of her family, completely disowned their daughter and have a decent relationship with the husband.

Mary said that after the horror effect wore off, she and her family were embarrassed by how the daughter acted. Mary had no ill feelings to the father, and as far as she could tell, he was a great father and a decent husband. Mary wanted to maintain a relationship with her grandchildren and realized that the best thing for them was if they never saw her daughter again. According to her, she thinks of the husband as her son and doesn't recognize her daughter as one of her children.

My parents sold their farm to an Amish family, but they kept a nice sized portion on it for a barn and horses. The Amish family paid us for access for access to our barn, and paid for a phone line to be put in. This was in SW Pennsylvania, and it was very common for people who were neighbors of the Amish to have a phone line in their shed/garage/barn for their use.

One day I went out to the barn to tend to the horses and our neighbor was just sitting in there listening to a radio. It was a radio he had put in the barn by his phone. I always thought that was strange. What is the justification for having the items stored on someone else's property for use? A phone I could understand, you need one for a lot of the farming business stuff, but the radio always puzzled me.

Also, I have a pretty big grudge against the Amish. I had a dog that we would tie up outside during the day so she wouldn't run off. She had access to food, water and shelter so she wasn't in any trouble, and she would come in during the night. Well one day my grandfather was coming out of the horse barn and he saw one of the Amish teenagers, who had been coming up to use the phone, just haul off and kick my dog. She was older at this point, and a little frail. He ended up breaking her hip and we had to put her down.

Hiring one of the founders who got screwed out of his part of the company?

You would be surprised. I know a guy who deals heroin but looks down on people that like anal.

Tom and Craig formed the website together. Tom kept asking Craig to go register the company together but Craig kept saying to wait. Then Craig went behind Tom's back and registered the company on his own.

Tom drew the line in the sand, either he would be part of the company or he would get paid on performance, not his regular salary. Apparently this would mean Tom would make a lot more money than he was earning as a co-founder. Craig said neither so Tom left.
