That is such a sad list. I am so glad he was able to end his life with his family, with you guys who loved him so much.

Thank you, iris. Yes, he died in his own bed. There certainly is some comfort in that.

Oh my catherine. Oh my. It *is* poignant, the items in BIL’s car. The stuff of his life that gave him meaning.So evocative of what he valued. ...

I have so many to-do lists this spring, that I'm having a harder time than usual coming up with my spring list. For example, I have a "Mom List,"...

Finally saw Sinners last night and really enjoyed it! The visuals were pretty stunning, the music was excellent and the acting was great, and we...

The bargain vegetable rack at Marketbasket had bags of potatoes that had started to sprout for 1.18, so I bought three of them and planted them all...

I think real estate is the most difficult thing to inherit. Especially with multiple heirs. Our neighborhood has inherited lakefront cottages and...

We went to a fundraiser Bingo night for Ferals In Peril, our local cat rescue group that does a fabulous job with just a handful of people running...

SO mad today! It's nice out so I decided to get the exterior windows washed (I do them myself). Some years ago I bought a long-handled tool kit from...

Oh, Tradd, that sounds AWFUL. What a cluster this has all been. And what has been gained, for the American people?

DH and mouse and car - we had a 1969 Barracuda in the early/mid 1980s. DH loved that car and kept it mostly clean and tidy (rare for him!). ...

okay---Dwayne Hickman was Dobie Gillis, Bob Denver was Maynard, and Steven Franken was Chatsworth Osborne jr. All are long gone. Sad, isn't it? ...

Brother and mouse....brother stores a brand new 4 wheel car near his vacation home in the mountains for family to use. Picks up one day and notices a...

families can be very tangled things. My FOO has never been, but we're pretty chill and don't envy what each other has. DH and his brothers had some...

Ah, life with rodents! Good title for a book! Or a thread, lol? Do we all have mouse stories? I know I have a couple... and IL DID say animal...

Oh, yuck! The poor little paraplegic thing! I hope he was quickly put out of his misery by a hungry hawk. I hope your new treadmill lasts longer!

My mind just went to the flaming Christmas tree and Uncle Louis in Christmas Vacation. �� "smells like burnt kitty cat!"

Commentary is not necessary. Check thread title.

Such a great idea, would be a big seller at the fairs.

I heard of one case where the person became incapacitated and their child went to court and got appointed conservator, then put assets in a trust...

When my dad assigned us chores, we used to spasm and scream “work” in tribute to Maynard G Krebs.

I ask because as far as I can discern the Pope didn't list any tyrants by name so his remarks seem to be tailored for those who have a favorite...

If you don’t know, your head is in the sand !

Yes! Thanks, Alan! However, I've since moved on to old-lady crushes.

With Zelda's brains and Thalia's looks, I'm sure Dobie would have included you in his 'many loves'. >8)

Oh, no, you're reminding me of my first celebrity crush: Dwayne Hickman--what a hottie! :).

I've been tempted to shred some of my cousin's estate papers early, but I still have a nagging fear that somehow the IRS will come after me. My...

Which tyrants was he referring to?

Really? "We cough blood on this earth. Now there's a race for space. We can cough blood on the moon soon. Tomorrow's dragsville, cats. Tomorrow is...

From the Pope recently!

Well, Beatnik poetry was certainly better. I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging...

I've had a rough vision of a Karla's ornament as part of my Route One collection. I'll have to act on it one day.

I am resurrecting this thread because I happened to run across it, and it’s funny because it’s exactly 10 years since Utralight started the thread...

The owner of this property is ridiculous. What an eyesore it is. Surely she understands the building is not worth anything, it’s the commercial land...

Wow! What a story! So, I guess nothing will happen until the mom passes and hopefully the daughter has more sense! I hope she sells to the auto...

Good one, Catherine!

I bought a small portable treadmill about 5 weeks ago, for use on the many days that weather or schedule are not conducive to getting my steps...

Your saga is preserved on the internet for all to see and is an often cited case. That drama was much like Jarndyce v. Jarndyce, the case in the...

that is too bad. But people who are going ballistic are not in rational mode. neutral face and backing way slowly— safest route.

Are you serious? That seems like a serious overreaction. He could have just said "I prefer not to be touched."

Had a weird incident today. Without exaggerated detail… Guy was going ballistic! I put 2 fingers on his arm meant to console. He called the police...

okay----i feel your pain, faux. Better hang onto the Family Farm, even if ya hafta buy the spendthrifts out. Because, after all the legal battles,...

Thanks to everyone who posted; it looks like 7 years for almost all of these papers, which is longer than I wanted to keep them, but better safe than...

Yes, I agree the pope provides spiritual leadership for the world.

Sure , the execution of a trust is like the execution of a will—honest, transparant and competent people need to carry it out to be effective. ...

The pope is espousing his views to whomever will listen. He is voicing his concern over evil. That should be his prerogative!

I did a review of Revelations 13, which some think involves the coming of the antichrist.

I'm glad your trust works for you. I get why people do them, and I have also seen where they can lead to unnecessary problems and complications. My...
