You'd think that you'd be able to avoid crap like that at DU. I agree that this family seems rather odd. I think Uncle Ruslan is pretty awesome, though.

It is obvious the poster knows English as a second language but it is understandable. Actually the syntax is very familiar to a brilliant friend of mine from China. She is a doctor and though she does not speak perfect English, others are able to understand and act on what she says.
You can too.

Learn your DU memes. Some years ago people started using the joking reply "Nice post, Hitler". Since then, there's been dozens of variations on the joke--Nice post, Gumby; Nice post, Governor Palin; Nice post, Rush; Nice post, Ayn. That's DU humor for ya. No harm is meant, generally no offense is taken. Sorry you didn't get that.

for years.
The mother shop lifted $1,000 worth of whatever from Lord and Taylor.
The uncle hasn't spoken to his nephews for ages.



Shit - I speak with my siblings, their spouses or their children at least once a week.

So their dad thinks they are angels. He's their dad and he's biased. That's normal.

Their uncle hasn't seen them or had contact with them for years. That's not odd. I haven't seen some of my uncles and aunts since my grandmother's funeral in the late '90s. I'd bet lots of people are the same as me.

I can't quite understand what "their aunt says, they are frames up" means. So I can't address that.

But, really, I don't see how their family appears to be any more messed up than a lot of other families here in the US. Maybe something will come out later to prove me wrong.
