Also, if he's a bum in his late 40's that IS his life. He's a bum and will die a bum unless the Good Lord undertakes to stand him up straight.
brotherinlaw. and yep your right being a bum is his life. although last i heard he did have a job.he's never married and is quite a narrcasist,makes me nuts to even talk to him. he reminds me of clinton when i said that to my hubby he cracked up.
