Good morning everyone; I'm so sorry for your loss Oldbroad. Draclvr, I feel really bad for that older woman who lost her roof during the storm, she must have been terrified. Just finished making a large pot of spaghetti sauce & it's now simmering on the stove. I got out a crusty bread from the freezer to put on the table. My son is coming over for dinner & he loves spaghetti. Stay safe everyone & have a great day.

Man, oldbroad, that all sounds very odd indeed. Sounds like his partner is a bubble off somewhere. Hope you can get it all figured out.

Good Morning everyone. Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready to start the day!  Oldbroad perhaps you should call the Funeral home today and see what you can find out. It must be so stressful to have this happening while you are trying to cope with the loss of your brother...my heart goes out to you. Wishing a peaceful hump day to everyone!  Gerry

I hope you can get things sorted very soon, oldbroad. (That all certainly sounds really strange.)
Hopefully, your contact at the funeral home will be able to assist 🤞

Oldbroad, I'm so sorry to hear about all of this. It's bad enough to lose your brother, without all of the mystery and stress.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

Good Wednesday afternoon! As it happens, we just returned from an appointment with a lawyer about our Trust. Since we have a his, hers and ours situation we set up this Trust 24 years ago. But a lot has changed in 24 years, so we wanted to open up the trust to add some of the changes. In addition to assets and their distribution, the Trust also includes health directives and a living will. Since your brother and his partner weren't married, there could definitely be some problems. And if your brother didn't have a will or make other arrangements, the partner could be completely out of the loop with anything financial. You and your brother could be his heirs, not the partner if they didn't plan for this.
Could get sticky.

Yes, that's a tough situation. We updated our wills as soon as we learned of John's illness, and I just updated mine. It's very difficult when people's intentions aren't clear. It puts a huge burden on the family. My father had an old will, not updated for decades, and my mother literally had to dig through a basement full of boxes of old paper to find it. It took her months.
I hope it gets worked out.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

Good Thursday morning. It's back to being cold again. At least the wind has died down. Yesterday, 50 - 60 mph gusts were recorded. I'm sure it was that or more out here. At one point I saw a chicken tumbling along the ground when a gust caught it!
League bowling tonight.

Good afternoon all! Did a docu-sign today and already am receiving scam/phishing emails. I also emailed the partner yesterday to try to assure him that we are not trying to make any claims on whatever my brother might have had but that he should go through the paperwork to see what's what and discuss it with my other brother at the cemetery. I didn't hear back from him. There will be no actual funeral and I don't think I will even go to the cemetery. Yesterday's storms stayed mostly away from us even though it looked like night time at one point, and then we had snow during the night which covered the grass. Happy first day of Spring  .
