Dear sorry-excuse-for-a-SIL, OK, you were already banned from our house anyway. But taking a political low road and refusing the COVID vaccine, after your own child got sick? Nope, nope, nope. Not welcome here again every.

Dear cell phone manufacturer: Please stop with the never-ending updates. Apparently nobody told you if it ain't broke, don't fix it. This latest one screwed up my notes where I kept my grocery list. Thanks for nothing. Next time I see a reminder that you have updates to improve my phone, I'm gonna ignore it. Dunderheads Sincerely yours for better business relations, Gramma P.S. Life was easier when we used two tin cans and a string.

There are certain conversations my family didn't need to have in a restaurant this morning. My adult kids read a lot of crime and serial killer stuff. I said something that it wasn't good conversation for breakfast. So what do we move to, hunting trips. No wonder the woman at another table intentionally dumped her water over to tell the server our conversation topics were alarming.

Dear Co-worker ---
If it wasn't for crummy luck/timing I just don't know how you deal. You took a step yesterday, your foot gave out and it sounded like you re broke it...I am very relieved to hear that you only sprained it and will be in tomorrow.
It could have been so much worse, I am thankful for you that it is only a bad sprain.

Back on inappropriate conversations. Someone who is a sports coach was talking with my H. He said several times in pickleball lessons when older people sign up that someone is going to die. This was as I said was mentioned several times. Move forward a week, he was checking to see how the play rotation is for an upcoming tournament. This same coach replied that the guy who won last year played so much he almost died.
Mentioning this so often is calling in that event from the universe. Very scary considering this coach's student injury frequency.

Is it just me, or do y'all sometimes feel there just aren't enough hands on hand to bitch-slap sense into some people? Not even asking for as friend.

Ok, sometimes it's just hard to unsee some things. I saw an African American young man, with his jeans hanging below his butt, and because he was wearing dark brown underwear, from a distance it looked like he was naked...

OK brother,
So your choice for your spoiled brat daughter is to allow her to to to NYU for law school or a private in-state school for law school, complete with a gazillion more dollars in loans, and with one more kid still at home to go to college?
HAVE YOU LOST YOUR EFFING MIND
This brainless bozette needs to drop her college plans and get a job, or jobs, save her own damned money and pay her own freaking way, rather than freeload you to death. She's a wizard at making you and that mess you married feel like you screwed up her life and she deserves to be treated like a princess. Uh, no. No one in life deserves anything. Your brother and I worked for what we got. Both of us went to school and worked. At the same time. Shocking, I know. Sure, Mom and Dad helped and I had a loan, but I paid it back.
Your eldest daughter (who somehow is smarter than the other five of you combined, PLUS your moronic first wife) also worked, went to community college first, then to a state school, then worked full time, paid off her bachelors, got married, then got a masters and paid it off with Teacher Loan Forgiveness of $17,500 plus a tax refund. She and her spouse are 28 and have only a mortgage payment to make every month. She is everything you and your dollar-draining family aren't.
I already warned little brother that you might do something stupid, like forge either of our names on a loan. My credit is frozen so hopefully I am a little bit safe. DH is not as good about checking things as he should be when it comes to his money, etc. but I will be watching.

DH is not as good about checking things as he should be when it comes to his money, etc. but I will be watching. I fully read this now Nancy, waiting for my lunch to finish. Unfortunately we all can't be YM superstars like eldest daughter. I certainly wasn't. I had student loans for a reasonable cost out of state college for my bachelors. I think I managed to pay for my Masters by being a TA. My XH got all three there. There is no loan forgiveness for degreed engineers as I am aware of. We needed a small parental loan to get our house which was at least a year after he did his thesis and got a job. I hope no one tries to forge your name on a loan. That's a kind of craziness I haven't had to deal with. TG.

Oh my NancysSummerSip Do you think he might forge names on a loan? DN1 went to in state universities to get his PhD as did DN2 to get his MBA. I know DN1 has student loans, but they are mostly from his undergrad degree.

All my kids good student loans. DD1 and her DH have hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loans. DS1 paid all his back in 5 years. DD1 and he DH have a good plan. It won't hurt her at all! Good luck protecting your DH's and your credit!

Dear Auto Dealership: Today was the last time, for a VERY long time, that I'll trust you to do any work on our family cars. DD did need new tires, and with your sale she could barely afford to get all 4 replaced. What we weren't expecting was your call that 3 of her 4 rims were bent. She couldn't afford your pricing on the rims AND the new tires. But, because she had ordered new tires, that you had in stock, you installed them on the bent rims. Nice (NOT) safety hazard. Now we'll be calling around to find some reasonably priced rims, and reinstalling those new tires on safe rims. Not that you're concerned with anyone's safety...

I know DN1 has student loans, but they are mostly from his undergrad degree. I don't know that he would. His idiot wife might. She's so politically far distant from the rest of us, and figures we're all going to hell for our political beliefs anyway, that she might want a little revenge. Plus she knows she is not welcome here anymore, thanks to the crime she committed a few months back, to say nothing of refusing to get vaccinated (her 15-year-old son had COVID!) and knowing my husband's health situation. As for the daughter who wants to go to NYC...she is a spoiled, selfish brat who thinks the world owes her because she never got a fair shake. Oh, please. Lots of people grow up far more deprived and make it in this world. You want more than you already got? Work for it!You are 22 years old. Stop whining that life is unfair and nobody gives you anything and you want what you want when you want it.

Friday night I called her. Big mistake. I wanted to tell her about the organizer I hired. I asked her if there were still boxes from mom and dad to go through and she said yes. I offered to come over and help her go through them. She said she didn't need help. I then asked her if I could come and find the painting my dad had done of his brothers in WWII, as we have agreed I get that. She said no I can't do that. I asked her when she might be going through boxes. She said not now and maybe not ever. The painting is one of a kind. Dad couldn't get in to the service as he was 4-F during WWII. He idolized his brothers and had this beautiful painting done of his 4 brothers in their Naval uniforms. It's supposed to be hanging on my wall, not in a box in her house.

Dear brother ......... Ditch the LDS speech to me. I think LDS is a religious cult. and at 83 yrs old you are old enough to know I'm not interested. Sorry you are mixed up in it but I have my own beliefs.

If she is just going to let it rot in a box why does it matter so much if you have it? She sounds like my cousins who raid family members houses the moment they are dead. They don't really want all that stuff they just don't want YOU to have it. My mom said if the one cousin goes first she's ripping the painting that her great aunt willed to her off their wall and finally putting it on hers. She was 18 at the time and had no clue how to contest. People like that must be very miserable souls. They have to make others miserable by denying them things that mean something to them. Could you possibly have nephew look and "steal" it? If she never intends to go through the boxes she'd never know it's missing.

It's about control and her being a bully.
It's the only thing left where she can control me. That's why she can't let it go.
I'm going to talk to DN3 and niece to see what they think I should do.
I was talking to a friend yesterday about this. He thinks she is jealous that I chose to leave Iowa and lived in nice houses and the most beautiful city in the country--Boulder. And that I've been able to travel while she had 4 kids and lives on a farm. She says she didn't know she was going to spend her life on a farm. When you marry someone who majored in swinery and knew no other life before college, where did she think she was going to live.
She is also jealous because of her own actions, she has no access to her grandson and I do. He is trying to say my name.
She is going to be beside herself when I go to Canada.

TheOtherMe She'll be sorry she behaved like this because I just waved my magic wand and wished hangnails, warts, and ugly toenail fungus on her. She'll wonder what the heck happened, but we'll know If she doesn't shape up, I'm going to add canker sores and and an itchy, incurable but not fatal, social disease.

TheOtherMe. I suggest you cut your angst by cutting out your sister from your life. The stuff would be nice to have from your parents but it's not worth the turmoil.

This painted picture is very important to me.
I have cut her off after this last interaction. I am hoping DN3 and my niece will intervene.
She will stay cut off and I can't wait to put pictures from Toronto on FB.

This reminds to share meaningful things with my children before my time comes (hopefully). My family is full of people who like to swoop in when someone passes and claim as much as they can. Thankfully, this is not a worry that I have with my sister or brother, but my parents' siblings are another story. My Mom and Dad do have a will, and I will be the executer. I have asked that they be very specific, and they have agreed that is what is best and have been very honest with us about the process.

Dear Project Manager,
Though you did not respond to my question to your meeting invite with corporate attendees on what I should be prepared to discuss at said meeting, I still knocked it out of the park and impressed them enough for them to contact my manager on assisting with other projects. Not that I need more projects on my plate right now, but it was nice to be appreciated.

I have asked that they be very specific, and they have agreed that is what is best and have been very honest with us about the process. Mom and dad had a will but it did not specify anything about their personal belongings. Mom had told us we each got the things we had given to them. That did happen. Then we were to pick, taking turns. Mom had said she did not think we would argue. I told my sister the only items I wanted and this was one of them. She had already given DN3 one item I wanted very much and that happened before dad died. So the first thing I ask for, she says her daughter wants it. I told her your son already got your first pick and I will take the 2nd pick and this is what I want and I got it. She couldn't let go of mom's chair or couch. When they delivered my items (except for this painting), mom's chair was there because "I don't have room for everything". Then she gave the couch to DN3 last winter. He and I have worked out a deal that he is going to give it to me. Just don't know when and I'm giving him my couch in exchange as I don't need two couches.

My mom said now she would have contested it but at 17-18 she didn't know any better. They were told in no uncertain terms if they showed up on my grandmother's porch when she died after she did they would be met by my dad pointing a shotgun in their face. My mom made sure to take all the keys to the house in case they tried to show up while everyone was at the funeral home. I think us living across the street knowing we were watching deterred them. Not as easy to pillage in the middle of the night. They took EVERYTHING when my grandfather died. They showed up when my parents had to go back to work. My grandmother didn't stop them. We have no idea where 99% of it went to this day. Stole all his tools, gardening supplies, even ripped his tool bench (that he made with his own hands) out the wall and left my dad to clean up the mess. WTF is wrong with those types of people? How do you convince yourselves that this type of behavior is appropriate? My mom said these relatives didn't even come to the funeral most of the time they crawl out of the woodwork a couple days after to see what they can loot.

My mom said these relatives didn't even come to the funeral most of the time they crawl out of the woodwork a couple days after to see what they can loot. That is horrible, and sadly the type of people in my parents' families. It is disgusting. My siblings have agreed than other than what is written in the will, everything else will remain in the house for a minimum of 6 months. We will need time to process, and luckily we have the means to keep the house closed up until we are ready. Their families are so bad, and are so far spread out, that my siblings and I have agreed to cover the hotel costs of anyone coming for either funeral to keep people from accessing the house. None of us are swimming in money, but that is how strongly we feel about keeping out. I have halfway joked to my parents that when the last of them go we may not inform the rest of the family right away.
