What Annoyed You Today?

[michael rauls]

My Uncle Roger (my Dad's next oldest sibling) passed away and his wife is going ballistic, selling everything before probate, including things that he owned before they were married (she's actually going be in a world of trouble). My other Uncle (the next oldest) got into the middle of it and then my sister got sucked into the middle of it - all three are caught up in this incredible whirlwind of drama.

Meanwhile, I'm just sitting here on the sidelines quietly, amazed (but not surprised) at how people can act like this over a person's things...

Ya it's to bad when things go down that way. That's pretty much how it went when my grandfather passed away 10 years ago.
He and I were very close. I took care of him the last 10 years of his life( as much as he needed taking care of. He did quite well for being in 90s) then when he passed all the sudden relatives that couldn't be bothered to even visit him once in a while showed up to fight over "stuff".
It was unseemly to say the least.

My condolences on your loss.
That was supposed to be in my first reply but somehow I lost track of what I was typing.

Thanks, and I've been down this road before when my Dad passed in 2012 - the female he married tried to claim everything and even held his ashes hostage unless I was interested in a "cash consideration".

I made it clear to her that I would tie her up in courts until the moon fell into the ocean, guaranteeing her that it would burn up every last cent she had to her name if she wanted to play that game - it wasn't soon after that, that I was able to lay Dad to rest.

This was a clear case of fighting fire with fire, or actually, fighting greed with money.

Wow thats really to bad. Not like you need the added stress at a time lime that. Just makes one think some people have no soul.

 

[GrauGeist]

When it comes to greed, no...there is no soul.

But then again, I am my Father's son and I stood her and her posse down.

After a little coordination with the Army, Dad was laid to rest with honors and all that nonsense is behind us now

Why do I let Dr.s have me get scans???????? Phuckers.
Spots, pollips, fibers.......... Dammit to h3ll.
Isn't enough I'm losing hair on my chinny chin chin, crotch and arm pits from hormone shots.

Isn't it fun getting old?

Went in for a minor surgery only to find out the surgon called in sick.............really.
Seems like they could have shot me a text or something before I took a day off work.
Oh well.

What, Gnomey took another holiday?

I wasn't there but heard that the same thing happened when my step-mother died back in 98.

got hit in the right thumb, playing Lacrosse on Saturday, confirmed with an x-ray today I have a small crack in the front bone just in front of the knuckle and plenty of swelling and pain at the base of the rear bone which was forced backwards slightly by the impact.with no break, curiously that hurts way more than the crack which isn't really bothering me at all????

makes modelling and other things a bit awkward at the moment even though i am left handed.

Ahhhh, lefties....we rule. Just got a phone call saying my Visa had been used without my authorization to the tune of 1300 simoleons. A check on 411.ca said the call came from Houston B.C. which is odd as the area code is for Philadelphia Pa. I'm sure glad I gave them my card number and banking info to straighten this out

Well sounds like 2 out of 3 pretty much went you way. I know what what mean about arthritis and getting old though.

 

[michael rauls]

Well I'm back at Kieser for another try in the ongoing saga of trying to get a consultation for a minor surgery( first time the surgon called in sick so had to reschedule). This time the surgon is late so here I sit for an hr in the waiting room.

Got to snake the kitchen sink before I could have supper. A great start to the weekend.
Coffee grounds and bacon grease don't mix. Or rather, they do.

So that's what's for dinner in your neighborhood.

Some of the smoke from California fires has arrived. Visibility only 8 miles. Hard on sinus and eyes.

You got 8 miles? For a while we only had 2 miles and we could taste it. Hope the air around your part of the world clears up soon.

Sorry to hear the smoke is causing problems.
At the moment, the entire west coast, from Mexico to Canada is burning - we're not having a good year, to be honest.

In my neck of the woods, for two weeks straight, the smoke was so thick, the streetlights were on at noon and we were driving in a perpetual fog with swirling ash raining down day and night. The sky was a dull orange and no trace of the sun to be seen at all.

Several days on end, flight conditions were IFR only, vis less than a mile...

We really have no gripe. Hope things are looking up out your way.
