About the wedding reception....
the drunk put his hands on female staff, was cut off at the bar, somehow was naked, answering his door, in front of staff, represented his wife as his "sister," while hitting on female staff.
All this inappropriate touching, sans consequence. Makes me feel......confused. Women NOT rocking the boat.....
so the bride could have her best wedding reception?
I mean ......do creepy drunks go to jail for touching women....like that? Do they go to jail for being drunk in public?
Holding drunken creeps accountable is so rare in my world .....I don't know what it looks like, and it's important my daughters see and understand it. I don't want it to be just a rumor, in their lives. I want it to be an absolute fact in their lives.

Yep; there should be consequences for his behavior - and being drunk isn't a get out of jail free card.
ESPECIALLY at someone's wedding, the gents should've ganged up on him and shut him down after the first incident.
lighter:
It seems like he acts like a faithful husband, while with male relatives.....maybe? I can only say what he does with me, and other female relatives, which is behave and speak inappropriately.
I know he's sending inappropriate texts to cousin's friends....of the sexual nature. Wet brained drunk...... activities.
That's, perhaps, not a kind truth, but it's truth, nonetheless.

I'm unable to remember 10 minutes of mindfulness every hour. I set aside an hour, to meditate, at 12:30.
I might set a timer today.....just to see.
DD24 has to be out of her apartment at months end. I'm letting her figure it out....not easy for me.
We had a wonderful visit to the farm yesterday...... mowed, BIL and his nephew repaired the Bobcat.
Picnic with a fire, smoked BBQ chicken thighs, long beans with potatoes, so good!!!
Later, for dinner. the neighbors made a lovely mince with veg...think Shepherd's pie, but with jalapenos and rice, yum!!!! Cucumber/onion salad and carrot raisin salads on the side. Nephew cooked rapini on the outdoor gas cooktop....in the garden. Fellowship and catching up....the couple just returned from Barbados. Lots of stories.
BIL tipsy.....with hiccups....funny and happy. Nephew engaged and pleased to spend the day with his aunt and uncle ...be invited to dinner ....be asked to cook. Interesting to be with social bears....adept at mixing and taking turns talking.
It was a windy, cool day.....spitting rain on and off......perfect, IME. I was downright chilly at dinner.

Gonna be an early winter. B and I thought we heard acorns hitting a metal shed a couple days ago. He picked up a handful & gave them to me yesterday. It doesn't get light now till about 7. It was 5:30 a couple weeks ago. Totally dark by 8:30 now.
Farmer's Almanac says snow in the Rockies & northern states possible in Sept. Mid-atlantic/NE may see snow at Halloween and likely, Thanksgiving. Sigh. We'll be cutting more wood.
