My mother has been talking about this of late. She's looking at it from the logical point of view. Funerals and burials cost money. And we have never had money to burn. To her, it seems like a win-win situation. We are worried my sister will flip her wig at the notion. When she visits in a few weeks, we will be talking about it, in hopes of convincing her now, while mom is healthy. But sister does not like talking about anything that deals with that topic. No sir-ee-bob. As if that will keep our parents alive forever.
Well, then, she can pay for what she wants. I understand if she feels that there needs to be something, but if she is the only one that feels that way, why should you pay for it?
Ugh Connie, that's a huge amount on your plates. I hope his procedures go as smoothly as possible, and that the car stuff all sorts itself out.
Darby is currently pitching in at the new house by gleefully digging up half of what I planted yesterday. I'm sure from her perspective hole-digging is an unexpected new shared interest.
Connie, tons of comfort~ma! I hope the next few days go a bit smoother.

We shall see how she reacts to mom's decision. She will be visiting at the end of the month.
My sister knows real estate law, and I talked to her about my lease issue, and she told me what to email back to my landlord. I'm kind of scared that, when I send it, the landlord will respond with another screed telling me what a horrible person I am, and I really just can't deal with that right now.
Hil, I hope your landlord's next tennant is your old doctoral thesis advisor.
Connie, I have no words. May the strength and solutions you need come - with fanfare or without.
Super-hot (for May) weather and crazy winds lead to expected results. Big brushfire in San Diego. So far just affecting communities to the north and east of my home - no structures or injuries yet, thankfully. But with the winds not likely to be controlled anytime soon, very tense. My home should be fine, though the air will be unbreathable for a while to come. My home unlikely to be affectedeven with shifting winds, but I still wish I was there rather than here.
We got the winds and heat. Not so much on the fires, yet... yet. It's bound to happen soon.
Yep. I remember during the last really big fire when we were thinking we might have to evacuate, we couldn't figure out why we couldn't get a hold of OC family to see if we could stay with them. It was because Irvine was also burning. We didn't hear about their fire, and they didn't hear about ours. Same climate, same conditions, same results, unfortunately.
