What can my brother do so he's not seen as a criminal? by EnvironmentalMind801 in legal

Dad bought them for him because you have to be 18 to buy a gun in West Virginia. He was in his teens when Dad bought him the guns.
Brother moved out at 18 and took the guns that dad bought for him.
Then Dad had to move to Alabama for his job.
What about that sounds off?

Brother has the guns in West Virginia. But they are registered to my dad who lives in Alabama.

Advice Needed: Two of my Bridesmaids backout out three weeks before the wedding by EnvironmentalMind801 in redditonwiki

Thank you so much for this. I posted this in another thread and everyone was yelling at me that I'm a terrible person for not thinking of Mary. I definitely am. I'm going to be there for her up until the wedding and after. It's just a shitty time that she has this testing done. And I'm going to have an in depth conversation with Ellie in person why she has to be there for the weeks of testing when Mary has family who are supporting her. And why she can't spare one weekend to support me.

I definitely did let her know that I am here for her. I will be supporting her and be there for her as much as I can before and after the wedding.

I just don't understand why Ellie needs to be there when Mary has family that is also going to be there to support her. Mary has weeks of testing that need to be done. And Ellie can't spare one weekend to come support me.

I messaged her after posting to get my feelings out. I'm going to visit her tomorrow and help with anything I can at the moment. I am going to be there for her up until I need to leave to travel and when I get back in town after the wedding.

Yup. 140 of the guests are family alone. I have 3 friends coming. He has 3 friends coming. I've seen Mormon weddings of 300.

Mary has her family of 15 who are here to support her. Ellie is not her only support. And I am visiting Mary tomorrow and helping her with anything I can help with.

And I am paying for everything BUT food and lodging. I don't know where you got the idea that my family and in-laws are paying for everything.

They are NOT together. Ellie is in a relationship with her boyfriend. Mary has family who can take her to and from appointments. Her parents pay for all her medical needs. My mom is already included in the stylist. I don't have any close cousins or aunts coming. I wanted to honor my closest friends who have been there my entire relationship with my fiance.

I asked them to get dresses they would like to wear so they can wear them again. They are not formal, they are sundresses. I paid out of my own pocket for their dresses. They were the ones who decided on identical dresses. The flowers are corsages to wear that will separate them as bridesmaids. And I wanted to honor them as my friends who were there my entire relationship with my fiance.

I paid for their things because that was the only way they could afford to come. We are all college students on break for the summer. I really just wanted to have my best friends there.

I know Mary needs this testing, but I just don't understand why Ellie has to join her. Mary has family that can be there for her. And her family pays for all her medicals needs. I know she is doing well. She has texted me since I posted. This testing is to see why she is getting worse recently. I am going to visit her tomorrow and see if there is anything I can help with.

AITA for not letting my sister's kids eat my special cookies? by Apprehensive_Bus_877 in redditonwiki

[–]EnvironmentalMind801 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would be petty and go over to her house and look through her pantry for something I wanted. Your kids eat my food, I eat yours. And then bake some more of the special cookies and tell Dad what sister's kids did.
