Do you have a relative that is just off? I don’t mean gets in legal trouble, or struggles with addiction, but people wonder what the heck goes through their mind?
I have a first cousin, on my dad’s side. My dad thinks she’s nuts. I think she just likes attention, and will use anything and anyone to get it. I remember this cousin tried to get a job at the special needs preschool Hudson (my nephew) had graduated from. She thought she would have an “in” because my sister (back then) was heavily involved in promoting the school, fundraising for it, doing its newsletter, and was well liked. When the school asked about her, my sister said she was “unreliable and told untruths.”
Do you guys have that kind of family member? I want to tell you what she did/does but I don’t know where to begin.

I have a nephew that has made some questionable life choices over the years.
One of which landed him in alot of trouble for visiting with someone who had just committed a murder, and had the proof in a couple of big hockey bags that he had with him. 
I remember it was a very high profile case and in the news too often for words about 9 or 10 years ago.
I had a job interview call back at a law firm for their secretarial pool, and one of the lawyers recognized my last name, and it is the same as that nephew's name. I know that was why I didn't get the job.

I am sure we all do in some form? I do have a cousin that makes us all wonder what is going on in his mind, out of the blue he started dressing like a female, and legally changed his name to a female name. The one that moved to the Netherlands.

@AmbiePam He does seem very happy there, and shares about his life there on Instagram. I guess he has a job fixing bikes in Amsterdam now.
Oh really? I am not surprised lol

I have a cousin who just to switch tags on clothes in the store to get a better price.
Hubby has an Aunt who is a hypochondriac. You have to be careful telling her anything about how you're feeling because then she says, "I have that!" and she wants to see a specialist.

@AmbiePam I was afraid for a while that mylotters thought I was a hypochondriac, but I swear I really do have all these stupid little unimportant things wrong with me. It’s just one thing after another.
