I'm here. Lurking mostly. Didn't mean to snub anyone, just too busy to catch up on the long threads then stick my face in howlin's flame-thrower...
Although I will say: seven truckloads of sentimental momentos? Sounds like my ex's trashy family. "We want the china, to remember her by. And the cusnart."
Where I was working the other day, the guy had CNN on all day, and they were pushing the Bob Hope thing... Now I'm thinking the Rocha's are saying...
"Thanks for the memories!"
I don't know if you saw my post of my LOOONNGG probate battle with my late ex's family but let me say that I know how you feel! ;0)
By the way, I know of a very nice burn ointment in case you got too close to the flames!
