The fun is driving from OMA up to Norfolk... where I'll be working for 2 weeks straight. Eww!

Please put me down for:

2x Peanut Butter Patties
2x Peanut Butter Sandwiches
2x Lemonades
4x Thin Mints

Don't yet know if I'm going to make the AUS DO, at least officially, but maybe for a box event, at least. PM me the final total and a mailing addy, and I'll get a check sent over. :)

It seems that she has been at my mother's house since Sunday. My mother had fallen on Saturday and was unable to get up. My sister had called my mother's brother to check up on her and that's when she was discovered lying on the floor for 12 hours. My uncle told my sister to fly in. Why I wasn't called is beyond me since I live only one state away.

My sister was also "kind" enough to inform me that Mom has been in the hospital since Monday with pneumonia.

Basically the only reason that the b!tch called was because my mother is moving in with her (since her health is rapidly declining) and she is emptying her house of all of her things - I have a huge shipment of items that I need to make room for by next week.

Of course I have no idea if I am receiving all of the things my mother wishes me to have. After what my sister did with my father's things, I have zero confidence in her ability to do "the right thing". Especially since she didn't think that I had the need to know that my mother was in the hospital for almost a week. :mad:

My sympathies! I've made that drive; not fun. And you don't exactly have a huge selections of hotels there either (or motels for that matter).

I quizzed her about what she was sending. I have a semi list of furniture and 30 boxes of stuff. I have no idea what the stuff is, other than dishes and paintings. 2500# of stuff including a floor safe, that I have no need for.

Funny how her car is being shipped to my sister's house. Mom obviously can't drive. My daughter needs a car and it would have been a nice gesture on the b!tch's part to have sent it to us. My mom drives a Jaguar.

They at least have a Hampton and a HIExpress right next door to each other, so I'll get bedpoints at least. :D

That's not terrible. Are those fairly new or at least renovated?

Both appeared to be new, I was there a couple months ago. Only complaint was (of course) the slow internet access. I'm sure I'll be harassing the manager daily on that one.
