OMG.....I saw those advertised and I couldn't believe my eyes. There is a lady that walks her dog every morning and she has the dog dressed in a matching jacket and shoes. :rolleyes: And this is a dog with lots of fur.

God bless the holidays for bringing family issues into the forefront... :rolleyes:

I hope you feel better soon!

I went through something similar with my father. He thought he could go back to his condo, have his part time caretaker that just happened to live two doors down from him, take care of him. He assumed that she would be available via the phone when he needed her. After he fell for the second time in one day and since she refused to pick him up and called the paramedics to do the task, he ended up in a nursing home. :rolleyes:

That's when the problems really started to happen....thanks to my sister. I learned my lesson in that you can not trust anyone, including your own family, to do the correct and proper things. I'm still dealing with the fallout almost a year later and she smiled all the way to the bank.

I actually saw these for sale at the local ACY Rite Aid this afternoon.

Wow, I am sorry to hear about the situation. We are experiencing same thing with my dad -- I have care management firm contacts if you need them...

Yes, I think you both have similar situations. Her caretaker posed as a family member and said she was taking her to xxx's house for her recovery. Um, no foxtrotting way. It's so surreal I just am waiting to wake up. Then Plus1ex called and wants to talk with me tomorrow. Hey, I let people into my lane without blinkers; I let people go ahead of me in line. KARMA, whiskey tango foxtrot have I done? :rolleyes:

They are *EVERYWHERE* here. It's bizarro land.

Thank you. My dad passed away in March of this year.

Now I am dealing with why you should always use a lawyer and not believe your family members when they say they will do the "right" thing. My current problem is dad's condo. Very long story but now the State of NC is demanding repayment of his cost of care and his half of the condo is barely worth those fees. Plus there is my mother (my parents were separated) not wanting to deal with anything of my father. And my sister who pocketed the leftover money before I could do anything about it.

Maybe Plus1 and I should compare notes. :D

Hey I'm still waiting for my ex-husband to drop dead. Karma never happens soon enough. :D

Perhaps tomorrow would be a good day to stay in bed and rest.

I do trust and estate work for a living and can try and help if you want. Something is not right about what you are telling us -- the primary residence is often exempted from state claims... I don't know NC rules, though...

Agree with the hiring of lawyer thing -- my dad did not do all of his planning well, and now I am doing it via POA. I hate to bully into his life, but it is necessary for the continuity of management of his life.

OMG, we've been found out ;)

I'll be in blexland for NYE. My biggest fear is that he'll be at the same party we're at. I'm not sure who would beat the &#!t out of him first, Plus1, my dad or me!

That's my plan; sadly :(

Meet John Doe is on TCM - one of my favorites!
