Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Got back from San Diego last night. Nova decided to start meowing outside the bedroom door at 4 this morning. Am tired.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Can't you and your brother stage a coup to take control away from her?
If you know my sister, this is pretty funny.
Sadly, my Dad chose her as executrix.
Well, I assumed that was the case, but since I don't know much about trusts, I didn't know if there was a way for other recipients of the trust (ANY trust, not just yours) to -- legally -- assume control of the trust if the executrix/-tor is incapacitated or, like you said, insane.
(I assume she's insane in the way that most people say their annoying loved ones are insane, not in the actual clinical diagnosis way. Because surely an actual clinically diagnosed insane person would not be allowed to be executrix of SHIT.)

It sounds like she may be benefiting from the poor = crazy/rich = eccentric double standard?

People! Friends of mine!
Is Connie shouting into a vacuum?
Especially today of all days, when we really need some (ahem) cool news.
ETA: Happy New Year to all Jewish folks, including my sister and her husband! (I don't think they're on this board, but....)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Sorta' like saying Titanic was the biggest grosing movie ever, when (adjusted for inflation) it's really Gone with the Wind.
Wallybee and I watched Gone with the Wind last night. (Her parents sent her a collection of Oscar-winners.) I thought it was hilarious. The Mandarin subtitles may have had something to do with that.
Because surely an actual clinically diagnosed insane person would not be allowed to be executrix of SHIT.
True, although they could well believe themselves to be. They would spend all day in the rest room, barking orders.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
After meeting with city officials, a group of bar owners near Wrigley Field said today they have agreed to voluntarily cut off alcohol sales after the 7th inning of some Chicago Cubs playoff games.
The voluntary cutoff would only apply to games that could clinch a series.
And, bars participating in the cutoff would be able to resume alcohol sales after the 9th inning if a "clinch" game goes to extra innings.
Office of Emergency Management and Communications chief Raymond Orozco, who attended today's meeting, said the city would hold a news conference Tuesday. He declined to take questions from reporters or even confirm the agreement with some bar owners.
It was not immediately clear if the deal reached with some Wrigleyville bar owners would be agreed to by their counterparts near U.S. Cellular Field, home of the Chicago White Sox.
Baseball needs the Office of Emergency Management?
It amuses me that the north side is (grudgingly) agreeing but the south side isn't.
