WBRepo-Ship of Thieves-Remember the Magic Pt 11

[granmaz]

I know I mentioned this to Ian privately... but since we're talking about it...sort of... there was a "situation" that arose out of my fathers funeral... and it was probably a very good thing that I wasn't there to witness it...

My wonderful stepmother very nicely handed the bill to the funeral to my siblings on their way out the door (along with my grandmothers portrait and a few other personal items...yes, she took the picture off the wall and handed it to them... ) Seems she didn't expect to have to pay for a funeral and bought a boat last year instead... (the man was 77 and has been sick for years... )

IIIIIIII went ballistic over Xmas when it was mentioned to me... It seems I now owe $1250 (my part...) for a party I didn't even attend... I asked them why they planned such a large event if there was no money... (the second memorial in Jersey has now been indefinately postponed...my suggestion...)

Now this is a woman who now solely owns a WATERFRONT house on the Chesapeake Bay...(according to the will...) and I'm told she has no money... I told them to tell her to sell the boat... and then the house... (Can you tell we don't like each other...)

My brother asked what he should have done with the bill... I told him he should have handed it right back to her!!!

AND... on top of that... his ashes showed up at my brothers house on Xmas eve... My niece signed for them (UPS...) thinking that it was a Christmas gift for someone... I laughed and announced to mom... "Look... Dad made the party..."...

And with that... he has alienated EVERYONE on his side of the family BUT wants to be buried with his parents which wouldn't be a problem except his cousin (who he supremely embarrassed in a letter to alot of people several years ago...) holds the deed to the plot. My brothers don't want to have to call Dotty to ask her, so I guess it will be me in the future... until then, Dad's taken up residence in my brothers closet...

My darling stepmother called last week to tell us that she had found his old wedding ring (from my mother) she is very nicely sending it north... I have mom's engagement ring (it was my gift on my 40th birthday...) so I told my brother that I will keep them together if he wants and can pass them on to one of the grandchildren later.

And you wonder why on the other side of the family... we tend to get drunk at funerals..

Michelle that is awful, I can hardly believe someone would be like that. I hope a way is found to get the woman to pay.

.....
She says he has no problem with focus, but they break down the day into short periods of work, followed by a break, usually a break after 15 minutes of work, so he has no problem focusing. They've just started trying to do two 15 minute chunks of work before he gets a break and that's not working very well. That's when he gets angry and aggressive, but they understand why and will just keep working on trying to get him to that goal and then will just keep pushing towards a new goal. I'm very happy with what they're doing!

.
Do they set a timer which Tyler can see so he can comprehend how close he is to a break?

Do they go from 15 minutes to 20 or from 15 to 30?

Welcome to Friday!
Your Gateway to the Weekend!
Please Keep Your Hands and Arms Inside the Moving Vehicle.


So, the weekend it here. My company is closed on Monday for President's Day, which is odd, because other than banks, schools and government offices, who closes? So, I have a 3-day weekend.

I've also made it through my first week on the job. Still trying to get over the adrenaline withdrawal. I'm just not used to not being stressed to the point of cracking.

I asked my boss to come into my cube and stress me out.

So, any big plans this weekend? We have none, other than the usual errands and my work on Sunday morning.

Michelle

I am talking about funeral....

I find it is sad and wonder why funeral made people, family, fall out, arguments over Will etc...

I never forget about one funeral was terrible as Grandma Helen.. Long times ago, (my dad's mum funeral), (my dad died first before her). My brother and I went to funeral and it was terrible argument at the funeral.. My late dad had the big family I think 11 altogether... three aunts argument at the funeral... because one of them send the flowers back to the shop which not held at the funeral... My brother and I stand still and we both were very upset after lost our parents not long ago after that funeral... After that we walked away... I cried all the way home...

We never got anything from Grandma Helen as we just back off and carry on...

I visited my Aunt and Uncle out of the blue last year as they are over 80 years old... they told me that the family still fall out... which is a great shame...

Well then, I'll share something else good. My Paxil dose has been cut in 1/2 for a week now, in the process of tapering off. I've not seen a single negative effect so far. I was worried about coming off it because I'd heard of people having bad reactions when stopping it. Not me!

GREAT !!

Sounds like your body does not need it any more ! Super!! :

Gypsy!

[ibouncetoo]

Do you remember the talk show she had? She was a hoot!

.
Edited to add: well, her talk show was in 1958....so I'm sure many of you don't remember it! I must have seen it when I was home from school when I was sick.

That is so sad. You would think people would at least wait till after the funeral to fall out. How sad the family is still at war.

I knew she had a talk show. She also wrote several books, included among them a mystery entitled, "The G-String Murders."
