My mother passed away about an hour and a quarter ago.

She was a great mother.

Lynx · August 02, 2011, 06:11:57 AM

Oh man... sorry to hear that. $:-\$

taco_harvell · August 02, 2011, 07:17:00 AM

Praying for you John.

Oh man John...praying for you sir. So sorry to hear that.

IowaSkirtGirl · August 02, 2011, 11:47:30 AM

John, I'll pray and pray and pray some more, for you and your family....I'm so sorry for your loss. *hug*

I leave in a little while to get the second set of rooster cone injections in my knees. Hopefully, they remember to bring enough for both knees this time. I am not looking forward to a 160 mile round trip in the back of a van with no a/c.

Got something big happening tomorrow, could use your prayers for the Lord's help and some divine favor in this matter.

Roscoe · August 02, 2011, 12:53:46 PM

Praying for you, John.

I have a dilemma. It's minor really, but it's bothering me. I have three kids who are here full time, the oldest is 8 and he is always asking if he can help with whatever I'd doing. Laundry, dishes, cooking, feeding the cats. Well today I asked him if he wanted to help me with something. He got a really sad look on his face and said "My mom said I can't help you anymore." I asked him if he knew why she said that, he just started to cry and asked if he could go play. I let him know I wasn't mad and sent him to play. I guess the dilemma is, I always seem to have issues with the mom of these kids, but there dad is really helpful and nice. She's written me bad checks, and then he's covered them. She's had the kids go get the mail and hide it from him. At one point she was even asking me to go through her mail (she's my neighbor) and take out anything with her husband's name on it. Once I stopped doing that, I refuse to lie, and he had started to ask me if I or their son had gotten the mail. She started not even speaking to me when she drops off the kids. I always try to be pleasant to her but most of the time she just puffs off in a huff of silence. So I guess the dilemma is..do I ask anyone what was said about him not being able to help? or do I just leave it alone?

*another hug* for John. I am really really sorry. I've been praying for you!

Melody · August 02, 2011, 02:52:47 PM

Bro. John, I'm sorry for your loss. God is with you.

IowaSkirtGirl:

I'm not Dear Abby, but seems to me her main problem is between her and her husband. You're just the person she wanted to use as a henchman (well, henchwoman if we want to be politically correct...) The more you get involved with this the more you'll get burned. Sure she's mad at you for not helping, but the things she wanted you to help with are setting off more red flags than a chinese parade. Keep being friendly to the woman, but at an arm's length.

You'll probably also get in a lot of trouble if you run and tattle to the husband about the wife has been doing. There you're on your own - Especially from long distance I can't even make a guess how much trouble (or even danger) that would cause you. If it reaches the point where you feel someone's life is in danger you can call the police and they'll keep your name out of the report, but telling the husband what his wife has been up to will almost certainly make for bad feelings all around. Okay, *worse* feelings all around - they seem bad enough as it is.

Mind you, the usual caveats apply - namely that I'm not there, I can't know the whole story and even if I did know everything about it I might still be wrong.

IowaSkirtGirl · August 02, 2011, 02:57:21 PM

That's kinda my plan, leave it alone, and keep being nice, but refuse to sacrifice the morals I have worked so hard to build.

Chseeads · August 02, 2011, 04:13:27 PM

Lord, have mercy......

John, very sorry to hear about your mother.

Called the stupid land lawyer again....actually talked to him....he thought he was waiting for a new deed description from the surveyor for the other party's land.... And he was not....I pointed out I didn't think that was the case and he checked with the surveyor and called me back and said he should have something later this week, so he should be getting with the other party directly....

BUT....of all daggone things, when they get a new description surveyed, my dad will have to sign a daggone quit claim back to them for their part...... That's dumb as monkey poop.....

Sheesh..... After it's all said and done, it'll all be said...and done....

I'm gonna get a time machine and go back to 1948 or somewhere along in there, and kick William and Zada Allen and Sympson Robertson all RIGHT SQUARE IN THE BEHIND for writing the original deed split out the way they did. If they hadn't been so daggone vague and wrote it utilizing an exception clause instead of two totally freestanding deeds, all this wouldn't have been the issue it is years later.

Or...in lieu of that, maybe I'll just find out where they are all buried at and go pee on their graves.

Chseeads · August 02, 2011, 05:15:58 PM

Oh, and are you supposed to go to the funeral home for somebody that didn't like you?

Chseeads · August 02, 2011, 05:18:27 PM

I'm thinking probably not, if they wouldn't want you in their home, they wouldn't want you in their funeral home.... Even though you may still be friends with or have connections with their extended family.... Or even though they might've still liked the rest of your own family okay, just not you.....

Nelle · August 02, 2011, 05:18:34 PM

News: sorry for your loss.. Praying for you and your family!

I'm almost done with my car crisis.. I think! Light was just cause of fuel cap, even tho it's weird that it was even off! Now I'm getting the two new tires. I needed four, but the other two will have to be probably at the end of the month after I pay my bills. Thankful it's gone well so far!

Work at 2..hoping yesterday's drama is done.

Lynx · August 02, 2011, 05:58:16 PM

Well I guess this is as good a place to ask as any...

I am now taking suggestions for names for my new cats. The momma is a year old, her daughter is 4 months old. Both are white and black short-hair domestic felines, momma is more black, daughter is more white. Both are cool cats who (when I am not there) seem to be practicing to be marathon loungers, spending many hours each day in a rigorous lounge training schedule. When I am out there they are both looking at me and occasionally meowing for attention.

Before you suggest anything, please note that I do not name animals cheesy, stereotyped names like "Fluffy," "Mittens" or the like. And if you suggest "Oreo" because of the black/white color you are no longer my friend.
