Does Cole care about Chris?

Re: Does Coleslaw care about Chris?

^I'm sure that any regrets are indeed triggered by not getting all she could've gotten out of the situation, rather than feeling bad about what she might have done wrong.

Re: Does Coleslaw care about Chris?

He has gotten nothing but grief from them so why would he care about any of them at 14 BLC.
IMHO He doesn't have to help them, and it wouldn't be appreciated if he did.
Barb is a cold, uncaring, emotionally blackmailing twat. Her love is conditional as shown by the fact that she turn her back on the one child that was at least functional. She raised a self absorbed brat and now she has to deal with that. Perhaps if she had treated Cole better, she would not be in danger of dying in a hoard. She is reaping what she sowed as far as I am concerned. He owes nothing to the man-baby, that selfish little prick would probably just whine and bitch about how Cole was a JERK because he had a wife and didn't want to help him find HIS heartsweet. For fuck's sake Cole asked one fucking favour, to find out information on her parentage and Chris didn't even try to help him, but demanded that Cole help him. I would not hold it against him at all if he wanted to cut ties all together forever and let them all rot, to be honest. Personally, I don't think the payout via 14BLC would be worth the aggravation of dealing with Chris, you never know, with the way Chris' mind works, he may demand that Cole take him in so he can continue his love search.

Re: Does Coleslaw care about Chris?

Yeah, pretty much. What really grates me about Chris and Cole's interactions is how Chris swallows Barb's bullshit explanations about Cole's parentage, hook line and sinker. And he tells it to Cole and expects Cole to believe it too.

Re: Does Coleslaw care about Chris?

I'm sure at one point he at least cared about Chris, but now he sees what a train wreck he is, and is gonna stay far away.

Hell, he probably doesn't care about Chris that much nowadays because all Chris is is a parrot for Barb's views.

Re: Does Coleslaw care about Chris?

Chris is officially mentally handicapped. Coleslaw could easily contest any will that put him in charge of barbs estate.

That "autism card" works both ways.

This is a really valid point. All that Cole would have to say to anyone from the state is "my half-brother has special needs"... and hell, assuming Chris hasn't given up the pedophile tomgirl hairstyle, he will probably look the part as well. The state will go by Cole's wishes, which will probably be bulldoze the house and put the land up for sale. And Chris will get the choice of a group home or fending for himself.

Or nuke it from orbit, its the only way to be sure.


159 grand for a four bedroom, two story house its own garage and a decent plot of land around it.
Shows you how much of a fucking dump Chez Chandler is.
Where i'm living a house like that would be ~325k and up.

At this point, burning down that eyesore would be the optimal solution.

we got seven canisters of CN-20. I say we roll them in there and nerve gas the whole fucking nest.

Re: Does Coleslaw care about Chris?

I think Cole might be trying to get far away from Chris as far as possible, but perhaps Cole is watching Chris' failures when he's not doing reviews.

Chris believes it because it's Barb saying it, and he expects Cole to believe it because it's him saying it.

Proof By Ego is a valid concept in Chris' logic system. It's practically the basis of it.

Location. Location. Location.

You can get even cheaper, nicer houses elsewhere. Like Detroit. But $160k is what a property like 14BLC is going for (give or take) in Ruckersville, VA, on paper. I can guarantee it would be less for any estimator who actually had a look at the place (especially inside), which is why I've been sticking to the bare land values. Even the Chandlers would have difficulty reducing the bare land value (though doubtless they're doing their very best).

Re: Does Coleslaw care about Chris?

Not really. As far as the state is concerned, Chris is capable of making decisions. Borb took every opportunity to not have him labeled as mentally deficient in any way, so now the onus would be on Cole to prove otherwise. Not that it would be that hard, mind you, but the burden of proof would be on him, and he'd have to start from square one.

I do wonder if the results of Chris's court-ordered evaluation could be entered into the equation, or if the "Adult autistic child" comment would have any legal significance. Most likely not, but that's technically all that has ever been said on Chris's NOT being a fully functioning member of society.

Re: Does Coleslaw care about Chris?

Indeed. But despite being on SSDI, Chris is allowed to live with Snorlax in squalor. Barb is his roommate, not his guardian (this is important). He chooses to live with her of his own free will. If Chris were incompetent, Barb would be his guardian and she'd be considered neglectful or even abusive because of their living conditions. Chris has outright rejected the idea of having a caretaker, ever, which is a good sign that the matter was never pursued.

That's very true. But i guess it's neither here nor there. I just looked into it, and i guess Cole would have to prove that it's Barb who wasn't all there, not Chris. (and apparently the bar is pretty high in VA as far as that goes.). Definitely not worth it for the value of the estate in question.

Re: Does Coleslaw care about Chris?

I think Cole is quite comfortable living his own life and not sparing many thoughts for either of the residents of Chez Chandler. It's clear from the e-mail correspondence and Chris' tweets to him that they don't communicate very much (if at all). I doubt he feels any real fraternal connection to Chris, and it's obvious Chris only contacts him if he thinks Cole can do something for him.

It's entirely possible that Cole has pretty much 'disowned' the residents of Chez Chandler. He might come around to get his part of any proceeds from the disposal of Barb's estate, but I doubt he'd waste many thoughts on Chris after that.

Re: Does Coleslaw care about Chris?

Wow, took me a minute to figure out who "Coleslaw" is. This is why they say to lurk a while before posting in forums!
Either he doesn't know about the legal troubles going on, or more likely he doesn't care.

 

[Leonid Brezhnev]

Re: Does Coleslaw care about Chris?

Judging by the lack of response from Coleslaw on twitter and through e-mail, I would say no, he doesn't really care. He's gotten away from the Chandlers, I doubt he wants to associate with them again.

Re: Does Coleslaw care about Chris?

When Barb drops I doubt getting 14BC will even be a thought that crosses his mind. I dunno I see Coleslaw as one of those guys that doesn't even wanna be in the same state as his autistic half brother. Much less go to court and fight against him to get their property.

I mean just imagine how he'd tell his wife that he kicked his half retarded brother out of their parents house and made some money on it. Apart from their recent text communication it's likely he doesn't really know that much about him and overestimates his intelligence. They haven't met in years after all.

Yeah, I'm reasonably sure they haven't spoken in years, maybe not even since the emails where Cole asks about his paternity. Like you say, it's not as if Chris would ever put effort into maintaining a relationship when immediate material rewards for doing so weren't perfectly obvious. Why should Cole care about a guy who ignored his paternityquest years ago, and then ignored him entirely until he needed Cole to come babysit meemaw so he could go clubbing or whatever?

You know, as many times as I read those Tweets it never fails to irk me that that idiot would say that directed towards his half-brother. Once more, Chris in a nutshell: he's demanding people help him but cannot even summon he basic tact to not sound like an asshole.

Re: Does Coleslaw care about Chris?

Tch. Chris has other siblings. If they can't be bothered to help, why would Cole? (Why is his name being changed to Coleslaw?)
