Sounds like she needs to be reminded that she's not a child and you're not her parent, ND.

Oh, Drew, I'm so sorry. You should not have to do any of this. She should have to buy you out if she wants the house.

Good luck, flea. But I understand about moving.

Dana! Speaking of which, I have a realtor suggestion for you if Kate and the other Nashvillistas don't. His name is Rick Elias, and he used to be a musician. He can be a little brusque, but he can Get Stuff Done. RickEliasRE@gmail.com

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Good luck, flea.

That sounds exhausting, Noise. I'm sorry your sister is making everything so much more difficult. Reminds me of the shenanigans with my grandmother's funeral and estate with my dad in a similar role to yours, although the primary trouble-maker there was her second husband who my dad had no qualms about just cutting out of his life. OTOH, that was over 15 years ago and it's still kind of a sore spot for all of us. So, I don't know, be gentle with yourself and good luck getting through it all.

My sister has made very poor financial choices.

Yes, I know this problem. Does your family ever think you're getting assistance from relatives that are better off simply because you are capable of managing your own finances?

My cab to the airport arrives in an hour. I probably should finish packing my suitcase.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Thanks, Liese.

I am waiting for my flight. Groin patdown woo.

Also, a measly first class ticket does not get you into the United lounge. I hate United.

I think it was American, but when they rebooked me first class, I still had to pay to check my bag.

I know everyone has different airline experiences, but Delta was always nice to me. I miss Continental.

There is a line of people for Group 1 boarding that is seriously 40 people long. If everyone is Group 1, then no one is Group 1.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Domestic first class tickets never get you into a lounge, no matter what airline. International Business/First, OTOH, almost always does.

I've been in NM since Monday, traversing a good portion of the state. I'm spent. I just want to be home, and I won't get there until midnight.

Tep, I'm glad things are going better.

Drew, I'm sorry. It doesn't seem like there's going to be a happy ending to any of this.

Yay, ltc!

Liese, I hope you get a lot out of this conference, including time to recharge your batteries.

flea, good luck! I hope the interview at least gives you the feeling of being wanted.
