WOMEN AGES 50 + FOR FEBRUARY 2018

Allie - I agree with what's been said about your constant contact with TomCat and even his family. While what I say is IMHO, you are setting yourself up by letting him know anything about your father's estate. None of that absolutely none, is TomCat's business. I think most of us would like to know you have made a clean break from him. Staying in contact with him is dragging the divorce out, because dragging his feet is to his advantage. While it is known you love the dogs you had to eave with him, you are his 'dog sitter/walker' - something he doesn't have to do for himself. I'm sure you love your FnL (again assuming he is TomCat's father. He won't be once you are divorced either ... but you continue going to feed him, again something TomCat is letting you do - Clean break, it's not like he won't be fed if you don't show up. One or both of you need to tell him about the pending divorce. Who is the Executor/Executrix of you Dad's Will? If you are tell your brother (and especially his wife - who doesn't have a dog in this fight) to back the "kitten" off. If the things such as the guns were specifically left to one or the other then that person gets them. If not, you both have an equal share, you can take the ones you want, and give the remainder of them to your brother. What he does with them afterwards are his. But normally property is not divided until Probate is closed, to make sure creditors are paid and money owed to the estate is collected. This means, at least where I live an ad has to be taken out to run in the local paper is run 4 weeks once a day showing whoever is the executor/executrix so this will be done. You can also contact the by phone or provide them with written proof that his has died. And they either owe you money or you owe them. Things that are secured should be paid off first before any unsecured debt. They cannot make you pay anything not secured and if the money is used up. They can't push for either of you to pay your Dad's bills. It really isn't a requirement in some states to actually go through probating a Will, especially if there are no debts. Your attorney ought to be able to guide you through the process (maybe for a nominal fee), then you don't have to continue having your brother add to the stress of going through a divorce at the same time. Taking off the added stress.

Lenora- you are right on

Did a step DVD today. The plan for tomorrow is to do a Prevention DVD.

Exercised, went to Beal's and got shoes (mine were falling apart) WE HAVE REFRIGERATION!! So I went to Aldi and I think I may have gone a little hog-wild buying food. But it feels so so good to be able to have something that can be frozen/refrigerated. Actually, they didn't have us on the schedule to deliver the refrigerator today but Vince called and made a bit of a stink and they brought it here late in the morning.

Just went to WalMart for a few things, Vince needed soda.

Wendy - you are a hoot

Lanette - we just have to give Bonnie a sedative. Otherwise, the cats are fine traveling. Lexi just turtles up and doesn't move. It took Loki a minute and he was under the coffee table. They love it down here. There isn't the room like we have a home but there are enough different things (wide windowsills they can sit on for example) that they're fine. Let's see -- what vegetables will Vince eat. Corn, carrots, white (not sweet or white sweet) potatoes, lettuce (he likes iceburg but he gets and eats romaine), he'll eat celery if he must, but I usually have it. Guess that about covers it.

We're going to watch the opening ceremonies for the Olympics

Barbara - the class was apologizing to their butts because the next exercise was going to target (hurt) the butt. So they were apologizing before they gave it pain...lol

KJ - snow day! You pool dear. It's in the 80's here. Love it, went to the pool earlier.

Welcome everyone new

Allie - I agree with Mary, you ARE sabotaging yourself by talking so much with Tom. I'm sure there's someone else who can do the same thing for you

Just made 2 baked potatoes for Vince later

Felicia - points for training???? Please explain.

Heather - good for you and your son

Opening ceremonies calling.

Michele now in FL
