I have several siblings, and when our mom died, everyone played fairly and while she didn't have the magnitude of the estate I assume your family has, we acted like adults, regardless of the sibling hierarchy. Probate court isn't out of the realm of possibility if your family is nuts. You seem to be the only one with all her mental faculties in check. I'm so sorry this is happening to you right now; it's the last thing you need. <br /><br />How's your new puppy? Andrea told me he's darn cute. <br /><br />And Andrea, seriously I agree with BMF. Guy loves-loves you and he's siding with his fawning, breathless idiot office manager? Keep the peace in the office, sure, but again, THEY stalked YOU, no the other way around. <br /><br />What does babysitting in a funeral home mean?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191306183209604345.post-85003143118556822142013-11-01T02:01:01.110-05:002013-11-01T02:01:01.110-05:00@bmf No offence taken and @Kate sorry for your los...@bmf No offence taken and @Kate sorry for your loss and the way your siblings treated you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044840857843864515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191306183209604345.post-34888818594800052932013-10-30T22:48:59.583-05:002013-10-30T22:48:59.583-05:00Kate, I can't believe there was no proper fune...Kate, I can't believe there was no proper funeral or memorial service for your mother.

Big diff.<br /><br />I guess I'm glad Dr. Devo appreciated the mass card, and I need Kate's address, Annie, but couldn't he show a little more emotion about what you so thoughtfully gave him....something you honestly could've kept for your your own grandchildren someday? I shouldn't call him a prick in his time of mourning, but, well, prick.<br /><br />Kate, karma. They'll get theirs in due time. Besides, what's more priceless than any antiques in the house was that you got to spend that time with your mother, as difficult as it was. I am very sorry for your loss. xoBMFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191306183209604345.post-13610867205183427242013-10-30T01:12:02.307-05:002013-10-30T01:12:02.307-05:00Dear BMF: These are just delicious lines, but I...Dear BMF: These are just delicious lines, but I'm sure you knew that.

I just... Thank you for the Mass card for my mother . I just got the card because I am in NY and my brother took his time sending it on to me. The same with Miguel's letter causing me to miss an important meeting.<br /> Forget Hans and Frans. My mother is dead because my brother had her medical proxy. She had transferred it to me but the doctor never sent the document to me. My brother put her in hospice and they drugged her up wouldn't listen to anyone about how she was before she got an U.T.I. I was with her when she died. I was there when they washed her and I picked out the clothes she would wear. I dressed her in one of my best red dresses she loved. This is the woman who got married in black. No funeral , no memorial, nothing . Michael wouldn't allow a priest to come to the house when she asked for one.<br />After they took the body away ,they vultures arrived just as my mother had predicted to me about a month ago before she died. The Blast of Ignorance , along with The Hippo who gave you inaccurate and unsolicited advice and her mirror image daughter , started rifling through draws looking for priceless antiques. I yelled at Michael and he told them to stop. How crass can you get? Big Mike obviously does not understand Probate Court. If you ever need a focus group on an entire family suffering from Anti-Social Personality Disorder , I know where you can find one that is completely delusional. <br /> That is a real problem. Your text mess buddy should get a life and stop being intimidated by you.Katenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191306183209604345.post-70163763529090227172013-10-29T22:11:00.907-05:002013-10-29T22:11:00.907-05:00Oh boy.

I know who you're referring to, and clearly he hasn't read the transcript of the blog; otherwise, he wouldn't be all over your cute butt about harassing his employees. Where does his alliance lie? With you, whom he's told he loves a dozen times, or with Arlene, who's a weak pussy who can initiate a bullshit conversation or with you? This is more complex than a Buzzcocks song and takes 58 times as long to figure out.<br /><br />Kate's on spot per the other blog. You are a drama magnet. People wish they had the opportunity and magnetism you have surrounding you. <br /><br />From what you told me, Arlene works tireless hours at the medical practice, then does a stint at a funeral home. How fucking exciting must THAT be? <br /><br />"Rough times?" Sweetums, these assholes don't know rough times from their butts in a port-a-potty. But you succeed and turn it into awesomeness instead of a pity party.<br /><br />Sure, sometimes you come across as feeling sorry for yourself, but you always spin it around where you come out the champ. So way to go, Girlfriend!<br /><br />Now be a good girl, take your medicine and go to bed. We'll catch up in the middle of your night.<br /><br />Love you tons and tons!<br /><br />BMFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191306183209604345.post-34263148582446570112013-10-29T21:46:43.889-05:002013-10-29T21:46:43.889-05:00Stop it!
