I'm just gonna say, someone who really has celiac disease would never eat a plate of spaghetti without any conversation about what kind they got, especially in someone else's home. The existence/non-existence of the sister is the bigger issue here though. Psychotic family rabbit hole is right.

If she is lying about gluten... :o
Also, the story is so weird that if her family reads it they will know he was the person posting it. I say time to run away and open a donuts shop, so if she comes back with the shotgun he can get protection (there will be cops in there).

I hear you, but it was her parent's home. Most people don't need to have any convos with their parents about what they can and cannot eat unless it was a new diagnosis and this wasn't (well her faking it at least).

Assuming the fiancee was telling the truth, she would know if her mother had prior issues with her "diagnosis" and wouldn't just blindly eat a heap of gluten. The point I was making is that unless you're in a safe environment, you always question. Her not saying anything in advance proves the fiancee was making it up.

My cousin was a talking head on CBS This Morning today--she's a conservatorship lawyer, so they brought her on to talk about Britney's testimony yesterday

When I was young I always had the fantasy of buying one of those Eurail passes and travel Europe by train. I like them (as we have none in Venezuela or Colombia, and just a few in S. America).

Train travel is having a second renaissance in Europe these days. Even Latvia is buying new rolling stock and building a new line.

If you buy a Eurail pass before you fly to Europe you can plot out where you want to go and buy a pass that will suit your itinerary. We missed going to Germany because it would've meant an overnight stay we hadn't budgeted for. It's the best way to go

Sidenote- if you ever travel by train on a new route or want to travel by train, or plan a trip involving trains, this website is a must, it's really one of the most useful travel resources I've encountered: https://www.seat61.com/
