No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

I feel so awful, but I can't take him home

That's what the ALF is for, to take care of the vulnerable when other options aren't there. It's wonderful you have someone to look after him.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Suela, your poor dad! Taking him back to the ALF is exactly what he needed, even if it feels weird to you.

It's snowing in Colorado and my brother is the chattiest I've ever, EVER experienced. (Those 2 things are not related.) He is a serious motormouth. And he talks all through TV shows, which is THE ACTUAL WORST. I told him that I didn't care if he was having alcohol withdrawal, I would stab him with a fork if he kept talking through Agent Carter.

He shut up.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's rough, Consuela. You are doing so well by him, he's lucky to have you, and the ALF.

Good for you, Tep. Sometimes brothers need a fork stabbination threat.

He's STILL TALKING. My body thinks it's past midnight and he's still talking. The dog even just sighed.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I hope this doesn't come out the wrong way, but I love that with everything you'd dealt with today, your big complaint right now is he's talking too much.

And Suela, I know that guilty feeling but please let yourself off the hook on this one. You're doing good.

Always Anti-fascist!

Well, folks don't talk about Phoenix, ever, without a layover or work teambuilding so, you know. But sometimes you do find out that folks you'd never expect tweet.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Much healing~ma for your dad, Consuela.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Hope all goes well today, Tep. Would it be any help to talk to alcohol rehab pros and find out if your brother's tapering idea is a good or at least not-terrible one?

I'm sitting on some good news it is not mine to tell, but if you vaguely feel the world is a happier place, you're not wrong.
