But my sister and I have never been closer than we have gotten in our war against the psycho.

That's good. I thought the CS had been sold off and moved across the country?

My 2 sibs and I are pretty much estranged at this point....but folks are long gone and estate settled out.

I'm the patriarch of the paternal cousins and the only one of two siblings left. I didn't plan it this way but the chips fell where they did. I think some keepsake things of little cash value got tossed by someone meaning well. Mom had some 10" heavy glass pie plates I would like have had as we talked a lot about such as that when I was in charge of taking her for appointments here and there. Mom drank coffee from the time she could hold the cup on her own. Straight black. My grandmother told her she could have all she wanted but don't doctor it up. Well I broke with that tradition..... Some days mine is almost black and some days it looks like an Alabama muddy river after a month of rain.

In our dreams!

She complained non-stop to anyone who would listen about all the things that were wrong with mom's house (because I renovated it), how much she HATES NY and how she wanted to go back to TX. Now she wants to buy the car, buy the house and stick around.

There isn't a single member of the family in NY that would help her with anything, see her, talk to or text her. If she keeled over dead in the house, a neighbor would have to call the cops about the stench and don't come looking to any of us to claim her. She's on her own.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, she is hands down the absolute worst person I've ever met in my entire life... but I never did meet Jeffery Dahmer so maybe he was worse.

I know exactly what you mean.

Just because you're related doesn't mean you have to interact with each other. Or love each other, or like even each other.

I yelled for JOY when I heard that my psycho cousin Mike was dead. I told people that I wouldn't mess up my life to put his blood on my hands, but if someone were beating him to death with a tire iron, I would not lift a finger to help him, I would not call 911. I would tell that person when they were done to leave and they had a 10 minute head start before I called the police.

When we talk about her, she is referred to as IT.

When I mention her in conversation with anyone unfamiliar with her, I say "my parents first born failure" because I won't use the word sister to describe her. It's embarrassing.

I know exactly what you mean. My family would have been much better off if Mike had been a miscarriage.

Squatting in the house.
NOT driving the car. We pulled the plates the day after mom died and the car has been sitting there ever since. It won't start because she didn't keep starting it so the alternator could keep a charge on the battery. So I'm bringing my mechanic there this Friday to jump it then I'm taking it home.

Savannah's first egg.

It's soon going to be time to mash the go button on the coffee pot. Our place smelled real good last night while the Mrs was grinding beans.
