To me, that's disgraceful to the memory of The Dearly Departed. I refuse to be involved.
I'm sure others feel this way but I would give up EVERYTHING to speak to my Mom & Dad & Grandmother one last time and not by me joining them, I'm not nuts, I wanna stay in The Villages. I may have Marbles & Dino's in my Modem but no Bats in My Belfry!

Some have often said I have Bats in My Belfry. I do think I watch way too many movies for my own good but some theater workers have been smiling at me for quite some time and not for NOTHING. Starting with Petaluma in 1995 and the showing of the Dustin Hoffman/Rene Russo/Morgan Freeman/Cuba Gooding, Jr./Donald Sutherland/Kevin Spacey 1995 movie
Outbreak which was filmed in that area.
My grandmother's money did cause quite a lot of friction in our family until we found out she had pretty much run out of money. She did help me with some of my law school expenses with a gift to all of us cousins of a nice chunk of money. I had planned to go to Hong Kong for a week with it but changed my mind and earmarked it for law school. Saw her once in a while when I was in Minnesota as she still lived in Northern Wisconsin.
