HEY YA'LL

HI LADIES, HAVEN'T BEEN ON BOARD LATELY AND THOUGHT I'D STOP IN AND SAY HELLO AND SEE HOW EVERYONE IS DOING AND TO APOLOGIZE FOR NOT SENDING OUT THIS MONTHS CARDS. IT'S BEEN A CRAZY TIME IN NORTH CAROLINA. AS YOU ALL KNOW MOM PASSED AWAY IN MAY AND IT'S BEEN ONE HEAD ACHE AFTER ANOTHER SINCE THEN. FIRST MOM DIES. THEN, I BRING HER WILL TO PROBATE (EVERYONE IN N.C. HAS TO DO THIS) THE CLERK OF COURT WON'T TOUCH IT TILL I GET A LAWYER. CAN YOU SAY MONEY OUT THE WINDOW? THEN, ON ONE OF THE HOTEST DAYS IN THE SOUTH, 105 - 110 DEGREES, THE AIR CONDITIONER ACTS UP, CAN YOU SAY MONEY OUT THE WINDOW AGAIN? TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, THE AIR CONDITIONER GUYS HAVE BEEN HERE THREE TIMES SO FAR AND I'M WAITING FOR ANOTHER ONE TO ARRIVE AT 1:30 TODAY. NURSES IN THE SOUTH DON'T MAKE THE BIG BUCKS LIKE I WOULD IF I WAS STILL IN NEW YORK. I'VE BEEN IN TOUCH W/ THE LAWYER A COUPLE OF TIMES, THE PROCESS OF PROBATING A WILL CAN TAKE A LONG TIME I'VE FOUND OUT, AND HE SAYS THAT MY OLDER SISTER, WHO NO ONE IN THE FAMILY HAS SEEN OR SPOKEN WITH IN OVER 18yrs MAY BE ENTITILED TO 1/9th OF EVERYTHING. I AM SO PISSED OFF ABOUT THAT. SHE NEVER TRIED TO CONTACT MOM, I DON'T CARE ABOUT HER CONTACTING ME BUT SHE NEVER EVEN SENT MOM A BIRTHDAY OR MOTHER'S DAY CARD. THE LAWYER AND I HAVE BOTH SENT CERTIFIED LETTERS TO HER LAST ADDRESS AND BOTH HAVE BEEN RETURNED UNOPENED. ACCORDING TO THE PARA-LEGAL THAT SHOULD FINISH THE PROCESS. I JUST PRAY IT WILL. SO, ENOUGH ABOUT TROUBLES IN THE SOUTH, HOW IS EVERYONE DOING? I'VE CHECKED OUT EVERYONE'S POSTS OCCASIONALLY AND AM SO AMAZED AND PROUD OF YOU ALL. YOU ALL HAVE ACCOMPLISHED SO MUCH ON THIS WONDERFUL JOURNEY WE'VE ALL UNDERTAKEN. YOU ALL INSPIRE ME ON A DAILY BASIS. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK AND I HOPE TO BACK ON BOARD MORE OFTEN VERY SOON. LOVE, DONNA, SFY

Hi Donna, I don't always get to read everything, so I believe I missed hearing about your mom. So sorry. Ditto for the crap you're going through with your sister...I've just had to cut my family loose once and for all, so I am sympathetic! Lisa

Hey Donna!! I've been wondering about you and how you are doing!! Sorry to hear about all the problems with the A/C and probate. My Mom was Executor on her parents will and it was a nightmare. Hope yours goes smoother. Take care hon and keep in touch!! Susan
