Would you steal from a relative?

I think all families have some vultures in them and some really decent people. Having seen both in my own and my wife's family just supports it. The will is meaningless until the person dies. Then you have to wonder where all the stuff you were supposed to get in the will went.

I was supposed to get a bunch of things that had deep meaning to me, but once my granfather was dead, good luck finding them. They were taken before his death by either siblings, uncles and aunts even when he made it clear who he wanted to have it.

Parents are the last ones to admit that their kids are vultures. I guess they think that after they die the behaviors that the kids exhibited all their lives will magically change. It doesn't.

I am now planning on buying a bunch of guns from my dad that I would like to have. I don't want to trust that during the days before the funeral, that siblings and relatives won't go and help themselves.

If you were supposed to get something, it should have been given prior to death. After death, you are taking your chances.

Aren't families great!

Just once I would like for one of the wordsmiths to admit that they read something into a post that wasn't there.

but it ain't gonna happen here and I could play this lame game all week but you bore me

My comments are there for anyone that can read to see as are your's

Funny how KJM gets it exactly

Your comment about new posters is a stand alone. It didn't act as a qualifier for anything.

I'll give you that, the comment about wordsmiths at the end was supposed to have been moved under the newby comment.
But that's what brought Jr into this.
The comment was spawned by GS' "question"

Anyway I stand by my comments just not the order in which they were presented.

If you want to take exception take exception to what I say not to what you think I implied

Nope, I'm good. It's just that what you post is what we read. There's no available modifier to help us understand what you mean.
