trev and i both gave up smoking around a month ago.
we didn't tell many people, hoping that would stop those of our friends who smoke from offerring us a cigarrette.
trev has been meaning to quit for a while, and i joined him when he made the attempt to support him.
Dear Linda,
I totally understand! I've tried to quit numerous times over the last 17 years.....I have not made it past 3 weeks. I've been told that 3 weeks for some reason is a breaking point for a lot of people.
You are not alone in your frustration!
Best wishes,

my uncle just informed me that a talk given 2 months ago "obedience or innovation" by the co sent chills up his spine.
this talk is apparently making the rounds delivered by all co's and is part of what seems to be a get in or be shunned renewed effort.
it is the same talk that apparently sent my mom over the edge with me after 30 years out.
I looked up Monroe's probate figures: Here are the actual numbers:
18 years to settle
over 1 million in probate costs and fees.
400,000.00 owed in bills etc.
100,000.00 left for her heirs.

The only problem with probate is it tends to eat up the estate in attorneys fees. When I was working with attorneys there was a big meeting we attended about the cases in probate. The probate attorney joked about holding up the cases and actually said the more phone calls from the family the better....they charge in 10 minute increments.
An example of this was Marylin Monroe's estate. At the start it was worth as I remember approximately 100,000.00 when it finally settled (10 years later) there was only a few hundred dollars left.

Think of how much easier it it for them to collect entire estates than the trickling in of $10.00 here or there. My mom has already sent them $100,000.00 that they pay about 6% interest quarterly to her until she dies and then they keep the principal. They have an entire office of specialists that help with investing and estates.
My dad had left a will on his computer which my son had helped him with. After he died my mother had some idiot from the hall come and erase the entire hard drive because it was filled with apostate material. There was no hard copy. In that will was money left for my sons' college education. Of course, because she does not believe in higher education no need to worry about grandkids when the WBTS is so needy.

Mary,
I forgot to mention my father died 6 years ago, an "apostate" in my mother's eyes. I have one younger brother who has nothing to do with the family and another brother who died when he was 20 in a motorcylce accident. So I was all she had left. We live 2 blocks apart.

Mary,
You brought up some good points. Who is taking care of my mom? Right now she is still healthy but when she does get ill, or falls and breaks a hip, I am going to have a hard time deciding what to do.
I did receive a phone message from her stating that the "Living Trust" has been changed. I can only imagine, but I refuse to be bought. No amount of money would be worth tolerating one more minute of this garbage in my life.

i got a call from the ex, she was in tears, and said that our son was struck by car while riding his bike to work.
when i got to the er, he was lying there in the bed.
he was bruised & scratched.
I am so glad your son made it. Such a horrible nightmare for any parent. Get yourself a good Personal Injury Attorney. If anyone deserves to be sued, its a drunk driver.
I hope your son recovers quickly.
Best regards,

Dear Bonnie-clyde...
OH MY GOD, I HEAR YOU LOUD AND CLEAR! THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT.
R.
when i got off for lunch today i decided to go to the walmart deli and get something to eat.
it is a huge store, groceries, a bakery, mc donalds, a bank , eye center, beauty shop, a great deli, and a huge garden center.
i had taken back a 80 gig hard drive dvd recorder ( i couldn't figure out how to hook up <smile> and had received 238.00. i picked up a couple of things in the store then went to the deli.
God had nothing to do with it. You were at the mercy of the world, and the world looked out for you...get over the Jehovah factor. Happens all the time.
r.
personally, i'm grateful to hear the latest.

I'm tired of hearing it at age 47 raised in this shit. Same message, never changes....that means from 1959, this does not include my parents, aunts and uncles, and grandparent's message......it just never changes.
Sorry, it is so nauseating.
