    I have a pair of prescription glasses but am too scared to use them all the time.

    I lose them on the top of my head and sit on them so I have an extra pair of stupid glasses......

    Sometimes they are better than the 3D kind you get at the theater!

    So here's the latest gossip on the 'home front'?

    Last night called the city to pickup some matress and a couch. They have a great service where you can put large house items on the curb and they send a truck to pick them up, along with the trash on trash day.

    My brother came by to help me carry my items to the curb about dusk.


    When he came in he told me that he saw my other brother and his wife pull up to the house in his truck his wife then got out to look inside the trash cans!

    I was pretty surprised and wondered what would possibly compel them to do so.....

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

    Then this morning, the same brother was sent a text message that my older sister called my younger sis because she wanted to talk to her.

    Mind you, This is the same sister (older) that wanted nothing to do with executing the estate, but now that the hearing is next week she wants to come to the table and talk?

    I wonder if it's money or her conscience that prompted her to call?

    --------------
    Everyone is starting to come out of the woodworks here during the 11th hour.
    I get the feeing that everyone is going to start to cry about what they want from the house and I wish they had a little more sense and not acted like jackholes from the start.


    No matter what happens I am going to be branded the 'bad guy' for doing all that I have done.

    The next week should be interesting.

    Richard, Is any of the contents in the house your dad or moms? If so maybe that is why they are looking? If so maybe they will want to sell it & get more money out of it? It could be part of the estate & probate? Just a thought.

    Maybe they were just checking to see that you didn't throw out something they could sell for a buck or two. At least that's what my 'steps' would have done. GL at the hearing!!!

    It isn't like they have offered to help clean it out - if they did, they'd have the first pick of "treasures" ... everyone knows that!

    http://ZenniOptical.com my friend! Prescription glasses for cheap! As little as $8 if you have a simple* prescription!

    *not like mine! I pay a bit extra because I am so blind and astigmatic as well! But I still got a good set of glasses for $24 total, instead of $400+ which is what I paid before, and that was with coupons and on sale!

    Ok sorry, but this little tid bit cracked me up! What are you doing sitting on your head

    Sleep a little and let the chores go for a bit. They'll still be there when you wake up.

    Love you Richard

    LOl,

    I meant that I put them on my head, they fall off when I go to sit down and THEN I sit on them.

    IF if I do sit on my head, I see life the way Wom see it.

    A little update?

    The house still has not been sold.

    Another buyer put a bid in...Good, but now?

    There are people that come to the gate and look at the house.

    At first? I went out to tell them that the house was to have been sold at the auction.....But, I do that at the risk of not getting more people to make a post auction bid.

    So, I decided to ignore them after this incident.

    I heard someone at the gate and looked out the window to see a man trying to get into the yard.

    This was on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. I was getting ready to jump into the shower because a friend was going to take me out for my B-day.


    I tell the guy that the house may be sold and he stops me to tell me that he is a real estate agent and wants to show the house for a potential buyer.

    I told him I could not do it at this moment, but I could let him in on the following Satuday......Name the time.

    THe said he was meeting the clients at 4 p.m. and wanted to do it today. I sair, 'no' and he persisted.

    He handed me his card and mentioned that he knew my dad. He thought that maybe that would sway me. He also told me that selling the house this way would make me more money thru the court.

    I told him, "nope" again and he went away a little ticked.

    --------

    I was ticked off.

    First of all, I do not remember this guy and IF he knew my dad, He hadn't spoke to him in YEARS.


    So, all of a sudden he shows up with the hope of a little money to be made?

    I was very irritated about the pushy-ness that this guy and the attitude-he wanted to show the house NOW.

    --------

    Two days ago a woman and a small child were at the fence and I heard the little girl yell, "I don't like this house..." \


    I was tempted to yell, THE HOUSE DON'T LIKE YOU!!!!
