That’s an eye? I thought it was a hat.I will never hit the leaderboard, since I use rover on portable devices and fish on my laptop. The odd thing is that fish gets a far higher ratio of likes per post than rover does. I think people are just freaked out by the eye.
GB Thorn has the right advice, but if I were you I'd do the thing anyway (the executorship, not the daughter) because I'm a softie. But let me know if I can help in any way.
It is a bad situation to get in. You will undoubtedly get pulled into litigation. Repeatedly. So it’s definitely a test of whether you’d do anything in the world for her.Curious though for some opinions on the following situation. I have a good friend that is 74 and got sick in early February. We've been close friends for 26 years. Had a heart attack, died 3 times. I saw her in early March and was a mess. It was like a bad zombie movie. I cried all the way home.
She's doing much better now, took 7 steps yesterday and talked my ear off. She's amazing which is why I've always loved her, a fighter.
Why I'm posting is that when it looked the bleakest one of her three daughters said to pull the plug. Made me sick the hear that. #### man, it was hard. Of course she said #### you and came back for more. Yesterday she asked me to be the executor of her estate. This was in front of her daughter and I've been in communication with her other daughter that didn't want to kill her for money the whole time. My friend asked me to think about it and let all of them know.
So, I would do anything in the world for my friend but this seems like a really bad situation to get in to. So....
Yep. Damn it. I think there's a better way though. Believe me, it's killing me.You're going to go against the wishes of your dying friend? Bull####. You're not that kind of guy.
I mean, it's a terrible situation to get into, but it's your dying friend. So please keep us updated on how it goes.
Great stuff.Also, if she does split it evenly, after it’s over pull the good one aside and tell her there’s a reason. That your friend knows someday those kids will only have each other. And life is long. And people change. And there is only one chance they ever become truly close again and it’s this. That it’s not her job to fix things between them, but it is possible someday that they can fix this. And their mother doesn’t want them to be alone some day if there is anything she can do to facilitate. And this is the one thing she can do.

First of all I dont "cry like a baby" ok I cry on my lunch breaks in my car like an adult
Essentially meaningless. “Your honor, at the time she didn’t realize she was agreeing to provide the entire estate to the dachshund, Mr. Bigglesworth.”Great stuff.
I was even thinking of getting all of the duaugheters together, with their mother, and signing something to honor the will? Now I know the will lawfully needs to be enforced but maybe an extra commitment, something fresh, might alleviate any arguments? I don't know
Reminds me of a comic who said he called his car the "Pus$y Wagon" because that's where he went to cry.Binky The Doormat said:Mark @NoticablyBacon 5h5 hours ago

I don't do tons of wills, but about half the people I do wills for ask me to "draw it up so that no one can ever challenge it." I tell them that's impossible, BUT two huge things they can do to prevent a challenge are: (1) give each kid an equal share, and (b) share the will with the kids today, so everyone has seen it and knows the deal.Henry Ford said:Also, if she does split it evenly, after it’s over pull the good one aside and tell her there’s a reason.

Now imagine those berries are white-fish- said:You can pick blackberries anywhere here. Like single moms.
I just don't want them at my house.
Two things going on here. Your friend's end of life and the estate. I got a hospice order for my dad today.

Why are you avoiding me, Mark?anyone know if there's a football sub-forum here similar to the basketball forum?
golf is a drinking sport@urbanhack
Its still too cool to swim, so I decided to take up golf to try and get a little fresh air and exercise this summer. I played a few games in high school and a couple times in college and that's it. Been at least 35 years.
I took a lesson last week and have another tomorrow. I don't care about being very good, I just don't want look like an idiot and slow everyone else down.
I really think I would enjoy this sport (sic) more if I were stoned. Is it like college where if you go to class stoned, you're okay as long as you take the exam stoned?
hack strikes me as more of a stoner. Just a hunch.golf is a drinking sport
If you want minimal activity outdoors mixed with weed, I've heard frolf is where it's at.@urbanhack

Question your Honor.......... My wife and I don't have a Will yet. Can I do this myself, or should I go to a Lawyer? I mean everything will go to our daughter, but everyone is telling me I still need a Will, so I guess i should do this.I don't do tons of wills, but about half the people I do wills for ask me to "draw it up so that no one can ever challenge it." I tell them that's impossible, BUT two huge things they can do to prevent a challenge are: (1) give each kid an equal share, and (b) share the will with the kids today, so everyone has seen it and knows the deal.
Will contests are the worst. I did one and would never take on another. Worse than divorce - after it's over they're still related.
Then there's nothing we could do for you. Did you make your way to the Steely Dan crowd?I failed the big hippie exam in the 70s because I hate Frisbee and the Grateful Dead
My test for "do you need a will" is, if the answer to any of these is yes, you need one:Question your Honor.......... My wife and I don't have a Will yet.

I was just there for the sex and drugs, you can keep the Dead and the FrisbeesThen there's nothing we could do for you. Did you make your way to the Steely Dan crowd?
The stir fry and the trim was pretty good. .I was just there for the sex and drugs, you can keep the Dead and the Frisbees
So seriously, I have played maybe 10 rounds in my life and none in 35 years. Would I be stupid to take this morning's lesson stoned? Or could it help me mellow out and get in a groove. I intend to play stoned in the future.omg me too!
