he had too many thoughtswords going through in his head at any given moment and when someone came alongthrough no fault of their own inadvertently per se and added another spoonful of sugar it ticked him off

                                                                                                      the tick sounded particularly loud when it was family

                                       and the fact was their only access to him was through a telephone or cellfone yet another nemesis tick  the irritation was more sharp more grating

his brotherinlaw wouldnt quit sending him the word ratiocination a word that seemingly thrilled him a vocabulary word of Harris and Hitchens – the activitythe process of reasoning he texted him Think Sherlock Holmes

                                                                                                        then hot on his heels was his brotheryounger by a year who want to discuss their sister who died nearly two years prior and how she and her husband and daughter shunned the family – he could write shunned now – but had misplaced the word for better than an afternoon and whichas he thought on it again and again he had badly managed with rebuffed and spurned both incorrect and inferior . . words crowded his head like mercury bent on reforming after a thermometer is dropped and broken on the floor

                     a keen way to learn if your linoleum floor was level or not

Shunned  Since youre using the word I assume you know it

Of course.

Tell me

You know it.

I know it Before I respond to your remarks I want to know what you understand shun to mean

It means ignore, or reject.

Okay

Okay, what?

Take that into context regarding what you just said to me

                                                             You asserted for the last eighteen years first horseshit You pull eighteen out of your ass Sisters been dead two years she suffered her cancers for ten years not nine months of remission between her breast an the onset of her ovarian cancer an yawanna tell me that she and hers shunned the rest of the family while undergoing chemo almost every other week for months at a time

They shunned you

They did.

Lets examine how fuckin ridiculous your words are 

Three people shunnedlets do the fucking math shall we Mom and Dad . two . . your family . four . six . . Robins family and offspring . seven . thirteen . . Toms family and offspring . ten . . twentythree . Joe .one . . twentyfour . Marys family . five . . twentynine . David and his wife . two . . thirtyone 

                                                            Thirtyone people majority adults were shunned by three adults while they contended with Sisters cancers

Thats horseshit 

What it also is  is rank family bullying the silent treatment the cold shoulder It was cruel It was unnecessary And it began shortly after Sister was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008

Mom set the stage Dad had to live with herhe wasnt going to cross her he submitted  And then the rest of you just went along with it 

They didnt shun you

Thats what you did to them

An very fortunate for all of you then  I lived on the West Coast 

I disagree.
