Hi!

Sorry this is off the topic, but I am not an orphan.

My terrible mother died 2 days before Christmas last year and I was not told until Jan 11

My father had cancer and died at 3 this past Fri, I did not find out until sat. With this:


So this is what I found out about my father's "wishes"

Jules, im sorry to say but your fathers wishes were that you were not notified and same as your mother wishes and your father does not want any services.. He is being cremated and put in the wall. You will be getting a copy a the will. And it states your fathers wishes.

So I am happy no longer under either of their control. I mark this past Friday as my total and complete freedom day!

No more abuse, no more control.

Thank you. :)

Jules

I plan to do an Apocryphal Twain on this in the near future, but for now =
I would point you here:

I will add, QI has the earliest attribution to William Gladstone in =
1924, but I have seen him quoted at least ten years earlier.
