I had heard a while back that the Ramseys themselves were completely cleared in the case. What a nightmare it must be for them, even with the arrest. I can't imagine.

I am sure that my parents were very well acquainted. They may have exchanged bling at one point. I am dead sure they were mutually fond.

See, you do not want to talk your parents after a Ramseys post. It is better to be quiet.

My mom took the bitch-fight out of our hands, so to speak.

I got my great-grandma's ring when I had Em.

J will get my grandmother's rings when she has her first baby.

N's wife will get my mom's London Blue Topaz earrings when she has their first baby.

The only thing my sister and I will fight over is some of the furniture and paintings.

My brother gets nothing as he makes more money than we do.

The vast majority of what my mother has, either my sister or I gave her.

Therefore, we can just split it along those lines.

I doubt either of my parents have anything their parents gave them. Anything material, anyway. I know my father used to have a bible of his mother's, but maybe he dumped it after I drew all over it in ballpoint pen.

I was young, rude, stupid, and loved to draw. Even Jesus.

The vast majority of what my mother has, either my sister or I gave her.

I thing bling is on that second X chromo.

Metal and rocks. What can you make out of it that actually does something?

Erin, your dad should look into "green" funerals -- there is such a thing. The body is minimally prepared (no embalming) and the casket is simple wood which will decompose rapidly and return the contents to the earth. There is also cremation!

I come from trash. No heirlooms. My grandmother let a stranger steal them and was too embarrassed to file a police report.

Rings that protrude are a no-no for me - too liable to hurt myself. Unlikely to buy bling for myself - I'd rather travel.
