My step father and father died from the same cancer.  I had to sue my dad's wife for fraud for deathbed signatures where she had him give her everything.  It causes a ton of stress in my life.  So much so I am on high blood pressure meds.  My blood numbers are run every six months and are perfect.  The stress is not at a perfect level.  I am still dealing with it.

I can really relate to this, as my stepmother pulled the same shit the week before my dad died from cancer, while in hospice.  I harbored much hate for her, for her heartlessness.  It wasn't necessarily about money but her acrimony and manipulation of him, and keeping treasured items that were precious to my sister and me.  But...I'll take the memories of him over anything else, any day.

I'll admit that occasionally I check the Palm Desert obits to see if the old witch has kicked the bucket yet.

wow, hedo is saucy this Friday morn! 

when my dad's dad died, my dad's brother's common law wife's family all came in and raided his house. by the time we got done mourning, there was barely anything left. it disgusted me to my core. it wasn't even HER, it was her family. I mean, basically fucking strangers. but after  while I realized none of that shit mattered anyway, like you said, the memories are what mattered. 

People's true colors come out when a family member dies. When my grandma died, I had a huge problem with the way her 6 sons and daughters dealt with the passing out of her stuff. It caused a lot of tension between my dad and I for a long time. He called the cops on his own sister and brother in law over a $50 braclet. Granted , my aunt was being a complete bitch. But by the time I knew what was going on, my dad had his gun in his hip. I said are you really fucking serious? You're going to threaten them with a gun? It's your fucking sister and it's a piece of shit braclet. It was a mess. They still don't talk and it's been 3 years this month.

 Or in your case, an in law and her family. Which is so odd. How did the actual relation of hour grandpa let them even in the house? I get you're all in mourning and dealing with funeral arrangements,  but damn, letting strangers in like that seems odd too.

When I was busy getting married, my mother and her fellow addicts robbed her mother's (my grandmother's) house and sold the goods for crack. That was the price my grandmother paid for seeing her grandson get married. She had bought my mother a plane ticket to come to the wedding and everything, but my mother had other plans. I got inmate mail for a while from her. One day I'll open it.

Family is fucked up.

Nice to read about some of the people on the board. Not like the good old days but hey, everything changes.

I am me. We enjoy allowing visitors to our country who are here to see PJ to have free housing while they are here. Nobody has taken us up on that in a while, (boy did we have fun back in the day), but the offer is always out there. Disagreements and comments aside I enjoy meeting new people as we are all more civil in real life.

And yes Mr. Cincibearcat you do still owe me that beer! If you are reading this??
