This is my quandry.

[Marigold2]

Dearest Richard,
I have no advice although you have been given some excellent by members here. I do wish you the very best.

[ChrisH]

Oh, Richard I am so sorry to read of your trouble. I only wish I could offer something tangible in the way of help/advice.

Prayers, positive thought & much love winging across the pond for and to you.

Richard... how are things today?

[RICHARD]

Thanks to you all, I am just a little sentimental at the moment and am trying to put my best face forward.

IT's tough and I appreciate all you notes and thoughts.
Things will work out, they always do. I have much to think about and do.

I love you all.

Hang in there old mate........we're all here for you

Richard, Was thinking about you at work today. Be sure you write down peoples names, phone numbers etc. Keep a calendar handy or date book (something you can put in your pocket if you need it) & write on that to keep tract of all that is going on. You may have to refer back to stuff, & if it is written down it is easier. When your under stress you can get mixed up, this idea should help keep things in order.

Richard, the best I can offer is a HUGE virtual HUG!! You're in my thoughts and prayers. You and the Edster will be ok.

[cassiesmom]

Thinking of you again today, Richard (((hugs))). I like Bonny's idea of a calendar or note book.

[CatsMeow]

Oh Richard! My thoughts and prayers fall onto you.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Aw, Richard lots and lots of prayers are on the way from me. This makes me sort of glad my stepmom took everything dad had before he died.

We have decided to sell the house.

The financial turnover was just too great for us to bear.

IT would not have been fair to me or my sibs to make an offer, had we had the familial numbers-we were looking at a three to three tie with the sibs- or had my brother and sister been more patient with what happened we would have been in better shape...

My proposal was to sell the rental, pay mom's bills split a little money and put the house in everyone's name. Had that happened anyone could have borrowed against their piece of the house if they needed cash.

With a signed note of course.

But, my sister and brother had to start freaking out after my mom died. I had not even the time to get my head out of my rear when they began to whine about MONEY AND WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH MOM'S BILLS.

I didn't even have a minute to mourn when the poop started.

-------------------------------

All in all? I was never tight with a few members of my family and I know that if they had put all THEIR pettiness aside we would have been a strong group of people that could have taken on the world.


I don't mourn that-I feel badly at how my sibs looked in the face of adversity.

If I was stuck in a foxhole with the other three?

I'd stab myself in the cochlea with my bayonet.

---------

Ugh, I am getting an upset stomach and kinda sad....the open house is in 6 hours....

[Killearn Kitties]

Very very best of luck with everything, Richard.
There just isn't anything I can say that will help make it better.

[wombat2u2004]

Ahh mate, I'm so sorry to hear of that outcome.
Pick up your sticks and move on Richard.....put it all behind you, and the sibs to......they ain't worth knowing.
Just remember that you tried your best to get the family to agree on something that would be beneficial to you all in the long run, and not as they have done by selecting the short run to grab what they can now.

If it's any consolation mate.......it ain't that hard to get rid of people like that out of your life.....I got rid of my sibs years ago, and I'm a much better man because of it......family politics are hurtful and mean....you don't need that in your life old mate.....life is too short.

If there is anything I can do.....just PM me...k ???
Wom

Sorry to hear things aren't working out.

So, where are You, Ed, and the Kittys all headed ?

If you need a couple nickles to rub together while you find a spot ...
drop me a line ... NO strings attached. Can't have any Homeless Kittys!

Richard, as others have said, please let me know if there's anything I can do. I don't know what, but I just feel I should be doing SOMETHING. Please keep us updated, we care a whole lot about you!
