Free Legal Advice- Calgary, AB? Hello all, I am not really sure where to start with this.....my driver was in his truck with trailer making a delivery of household goods to an apartment building in central Calgary. When he was leaving the apartment building he took down the power lines and phone lines with his rig. The shipper (customer) told him where to park the vehicle, so my driver did as he was told. The apartment building parking lot is private property. What is my legal obligation for this? Is there any free phone service where I could just ask them this simple question?
Thank you too all those with serious and adult answers! | Caveat: I am not licensed as either a barrister or solicitor in Canada.
1) You are apparently a business owner. Turn the question over to your insurance company and let them deal with the question of liability. That is what you pay them for.
2) You are apparently a business owner: If someone came into your store, and said "I would like <insert name of your product> for free, what would you think? I somehow doubt that you would say "sure, take $150 or $200 worth for free".
When you ask an attorney, barrister, solicitor, advocate, etc.. for free advice, that is the same thing. The only thing that a barrister or solicitor has to sell is his/her time and professional expertise. To answer your question, they need to investigate the facts and then give you an answer that can be relied on. To do otherwise is professional negligence.
I urge you to contact your local solicitor or barrister, but don't expect free advice. Free advice is often worth exactly what you pay for it. | Should an adult guy living with elderly parents, caring for them, paying NOTHING to live there, be paid? My widowed brother and his two daughters live with our parents. He pays NOTHING towards the bills for utilities, property tax, etc. They have no mortgage. He is on disability, food stamps and welfare for his girls. Since he lives there free except for food which he supplies with food stamps, isn't that a deal?? I suppose if welfare KNEW the situation, he would not be getting that! maybe even not the food stamps. Well now he is tired and the parents are "more work than he realized" and now he thinks it's okay to pay his phone and internet bill and car gas bills with my parent's money! The latest atrocity is that we have found out he was using our parent's credit card for his own use! He used to complain that "no one will help" or give him a break - well we told him another sibling was willing to take over - move in and he could go back to a trailer home he owns - but he has his hands in the till, so to speak and now won't leave, even getting our parents to sign medical power of attorney | | LAWYER!!! What your brother is guilty of is abuse. He is manipulating your parents and what he is doing is fraud and it's illegal.

Error # 2 - "fight for our right to earn a living" You have every right to earn a living. That doesn't guarantee you have the ability.
Error # 3 - "I'm at work right now... I earn a good living" Then what are you whining about? You are much better off than many people.
Error # 4 - "Maybe it's the idea that profit no matter what is priority number one" YES. Exactly. That is the purpose of any commercial endeavor. It isn't evil, it's just common sense.
Satan Goat Humper - Weak little tirade. Run along now, grown-ups are talking here. | Ladies, Please Help Me Find My Confidence.? Ok, when I was 6 years old, my mom and I moved to kentucky,
and while there we lived in 2 trailers, an apartment, and then
we went to live with my moms boyfriend in the boonies of kentucky,
while in kentucky, I never got to have any friends, because we moved
back and forth for awhile, and while in kentucky, after I had stayed
with my mom for awhile, I ended up going to live with a preacher and his wife, until they found me a foster home, then I lived there for a year, and this happened because my mom fainted because of one of her medicine she took for anxiety, sorry for this being such a long question, but I've been through so much that this is the best I can do for right now... anyways my dad came and picked me up a year after living in the foster home, at the time I was 10. I came to live with my dad, and then all this abuse started.. my dad would, hit me with a belt or paddle aross the face, the stomach, the legs, and he would knock me down to the floor, and stand on top of my legs, and jump up and down on them, while hitting me with a paddle, on the stomach, and chest, and this paddle was 2 inches thick with holes in it, and then he would kick me in the stomach, and legs, and sides, then would drag me into the bathroom, by my ear from the floor, and smack, punch, and bite me on the neck, and shoulders, and would laugh psychotically, and say do you think that's funny, I would end up with black eyes, busted lips, bruises, and bloody noses, because of this I used to cut myself, because it made me feel relaxed... then he raped me, and at that time I was 10 almost 11.. then I was molested 5 times around 11 or 12, by my sisters now exhusband, and I told her about it and she just said oh you know how he is, he likes to guy around, then I was molested by this same sister, when I was 4, then molested by my mom at 8, during a time when I had the flu and had to stay home from school, then I was molested, by these 2 boys that were 11 or 12 one was my uncles friend's son, and the other was my babysitter's step nephew.. then I tried killing myself when I was 12 because of all of this.... and my dad had me so scared of him, and I was so scared of my sister's too that I literally felt as though, I was a prisoner, in my own room, and a slave in my own house, I barely left the house when I was a guy, teenager, and adult, I remember being so scared that for a whole year I didn't speak, I was afraid to go to bed, I was afraid to go to the bathroom, eat, smile, go to school, I was so afraid of him that, when we went to therapy sessions, I couldn't tell the therapist what was really going on at home, because I was afraid that,, he would come in the room and beat me up or kill me, even though the therapist, put the phone next to her, and got up and locked the door, so therapy didn't work, and also when I was 12 I was given a generic form of Ritalin for ADHD and ADD, and because I was so afraid of my dad, when the psychiatrist, looked at me, and asked me if the medicine was working, my dad was looking at me with a mean look on his face, and before hand he was mentioning to the psychiatrist that he didn't think I needed the medicine, and as soon as he said that he looked over at me really fast, and gave me that mean look, as if to tell me I wasn't allowed to take the medicine, so I've had ADD and ADHD most of my life, and felt enslaved in my house until 25, and then at 25 my dad died... so I felt, as if someone came in my house, and unchained the shackles, and set me free, and now finally I can live my own life as I see fit, but I'm still struggling, with all these issues, I still have ADD and ADHD, but I take this medicine called Foucus Factor, and it actually helps me, then I ended up getting high blood pressure, that reached 210 to 220
and my life flashed before my eyes almost like a movie, and then i died... and came back a few minutes later, and while this was all happening, I seen my dad, my sister's, and my brothernlaw all controlling me, ganging up on me, and all this abuse, and I said to myself, I have to start standing up for myself more, even if I have to go to jail, so that also helped me get my life going finally, now, I have all sorts of things to worry about, I have no job, no real friends, no money, no woman to share my life with, I fat, not very tall, I have never been in a relationship with a woman, because when a woman holds my hand or hugs me, I start shaking all over my body, and I feel as if she's violating me in some way, which I know isn't true, but I still feel that way, and I constantly worry about, If I'm good enough, I feel like I'm no good, and I don't deserve anything, plus I worry about when I do finally have a relationship with a woman, if I will hold her hand the right way, kiss her the right way, hug her the right way, make love the right way, if I'll last long enough in bed for her, and if my penis is big enough | | omg I AM SO SORRY! Your life sounds horrible. With all the things you've been through you need therapy, not yahoo answers. Or find someone in your life that loves you like an aunt, uncle, grandparent anyone and just talk to them. Maybe it would be good for you to just start a whole new life, like move somewhere where you've always dreamed of going and just forget about your past completely. Best wishes! | Family eviction issue-what to do? This is long and I apologize but I am in a situation that has me literally at my wits end. I just don’t know how to resolve it. I will try to stick to the facts and I know that it will sound bad and that is why I need some impartial perspectives. I am an adult with a 70 yr old mother, 6 siblings, and one very dysfunctional family. My workaholic dad died at an early age back in the 1980’s. He left my mother and his 7 guyren with nearly $500,000.00 in insurance money at the time. We older guys (at my mother’s insistence) signed over our rights to claim any of the proceeds so that my mother and her 3 guyren ages 17, 13, & 12 would be able to pay off her house and have money to live without worry. That was definitely a HUGE mistake on our behalves. While each and every one of my siblings did borrow and did not repay loans of varying amounts from my mother during those early years, my mother mostly squandered it; she didn’t payoff the house and ended up having to auction it off along with her 2 acres years later when she and her 3 guyren (now adults) wouldn’t work to make a $150.00 monthly mortgage payment. I NEVER received one red cent from her, nor ever asked for anything. I worked and struggled on my own. My mother now lives in a used mobile home that she was able to buy and moved onto the land that I inherited from my paternal (fathers mother)grandmother. My mother hated my grandmother and moved her trailer onto it after my grandmother was in the nursing home and over our protests. She had my grandmothers old home burned and made way for her trailer. Another long story, but she did it and being her guyren we didn’t stop her. My mistake #2. Because my grandmother left me the 15 acres of land including where my mother has her trailer, solely, there have been some bitter feelings. But because she did leave it to me, I have been able to hang on to it, improve it and have willingly allowed everyone access to it (until now). My mother has her trailer on one side of the gravel road and I have my barn and fields directly across on the other side. You can’t just go to the barn without having to pass the yard (aka as the junk heap). She lives there rent free. I have always paid the taxes on it, even before my grandmother died.
My mother who has been an abusive alcoholic most of her life and without a lot of details, was a very crappy mother who made her guyren’s lives hell and still does now that we are all adults. Yes I realize this sounds like ungrateful sour grapes from me, but believe me, life was very, very bad growing up in her household, especially for her daughters. Her daughters were only good to her as her “slaves” to serve her. Luckily my grandmother lived just down the road and would provide me with love and shelter when things were at their worst. For some reason that I don’t understand, even after years of my mother pitting one sibling against the other, always trying to cause divisiveness and strife within the family between us all, I have felt some unfounded obligation to try and help her out financially, physically and emotionally whenever she needed it. Stupidly hoping that someday she would change. And every single time, after her self induced crisis has passed, she has turned on me, maligning me to my other family members; at least until the next time she needed me, or needed my money I should say. But I digress.
The problem that I face is this: The most recent issue is that after completely financially carrying her on a very strained budget myself for 2 months; and by default my adult 40 yr old deadbeat alcoholic brother who can’t and/or won’t keep a job, I said ENOUGH! After seeing that all of her social security was going to booze & cigs and not paying any of her monthly necessities like utilities, phone, water, etc., I put my foot down and told her that the deadbeat brother had to go. She said NO, that it was her home and that I had no right to tell her what to do in it. I tried to explain that he was and had been draining her of all of her resources and that I could not continue to support them. That if he wasn’t willing to keep a job and mow the knee high grass then he had to leave. She balked, cussed me and said he wasn’t leaving. I told her that since I owned the land that she lived on rent free, that I had the right to say who lived on it. She called me some very vile names and said she’d get a lawyer and sue me. For what I don’t know, but whatever. I left after giving her a list of mobile home movers that I had looked up in the phonebook and haven’t spoken to her since (2 months now). This is not a new issue, periodically we (an older brother and I) have had to eject a brother at her request over the years when they had used up their usefulness to her or it had become physically violent. It was never pretty and it is all so disgusting. I had reasonably cooled down and decided to just let things go until I started hearing how she and my younger siblings (all adults) have been talking me down to everyone who will listen with lies, exaggerations and outright fabrications. We live in a small town and everyone knows everyone. She has spent a lifetime of writing bad checks that storekeepers ask us to pick up because they know we are related; nightly brawls; a yard strewn with beer cans and half starved animals roaming, strewing garbage is just a sample of what we are talking about. The brother in and out of jail for so many DUI’s they don’t bother to pick him up anymore. I suspect that he is also a thief because mysteriously people are always “giving” him rather expensive things. He destroys everything he touches. Another brother who has very similar behavior also comes in and out of the picture as well. He is even more dangerous. Now they have teenage sons who stay there periodically and have deviant behaviors as well. I suspect it they who are causing the vandalism. They were allowed to drop out of school at 14 and have no jobs. The school was glad to see them leave. I swear it is like the movie “Deliverance”! Even so, I have said to my husband that I am willing to let my mother stay till she dies, just not everyone else. But what I really want is to finally be shed of all of them and be allowed to live my life in peace for once.
These people have done nothing but make my life miserable. And if it weren’t for the fact that I have horses at the property, I would say screw it -live like you want! and just walk away. But I have to see this every single day. I live a few miles away. Every day the grass gets taller, the yard gets worse, junk and trash gets thicker. The mosquitoes and flies get worse. I am not going to spend another summer mowing the grass and picking up the messes that they create because of their laziness! I am just not physically able to do it anymore and I am not asking my husband who works 7 days a week to do it. Emotionally I am worn down. My only sibling that was any help dealing with this just informed me that he has washed his hands of it all and will no longer “have my back” in dealing with any of this. Legally I am responsible for the property. And no -I will not just give it to them. My GM left it to me. It is the ONLY thing that I received from this crazy family and she and my grandfather would roll over in their graves if I did. They were well respected people in our community and my husband’s family is as well. I have tried to live a good and moral life as well. I have helped every single family member out over the years many, many times and still they want to malign me. I have never talked about what I have done for them, or what I have given them to them or anyone else. I have never asked anything from them in return but respect. Respect for themselves and for those around them. I just don’t get it. It seems the more I have done to help them, the more they despise me.
But today, the problem is they don’t have the money to move and refuse to go anyway. I don’t have the money to move them and set them up somewhere else. And because they are evil, they have been doing things to my barn and around it. I fear the next thing will be to harm my daughter’s horses. Some pretty sick and clear messages have been left for me in the form of some very sick perverted ways. Nothing I can prove, but I know they did it. Nothing was ever done before and now suddenly, with increasing frequency, vandalism is becoming rampant. The damage and desecration done to the property is heart sickening. I had someday planned to perhaps build a home on this property when we retired. But I am afraid that the damage may take generations to recover from. Everything from the unmaintained septic system that bubbles up into the yard to the dumping of oils, paints and other chemicals with total disregard for the environment is taking its toll. Now instead of my brother leaving, he has moved some tramp in with them and they are all living together in a small, 2 bedroom, single wide trailer on my mothers Social security check. With my other brother coming in periodically and bringing in his teenage sons as well. It is so crazy!! What should I do???? What is the right way to handle this? They will never see any reasonable argument from my perspective. | You sound like you have a good heart, and even through it all you have managed to keep your sanity! So, In all honestly I think you did what you could and now its time to get them out.. its not fair to you or your horse! for that matter....
I would start a legal process... to get them evicted, and you know that they are going to destroy what you have left, plan on having to redo everything.... In the meantime, i would take your daughters horse to a boarding place so there will be no hard done.
I would call the police, and have them watch the place, and record all that is going on. Get a lawyer and start it... I pray for you in the end, that you can start fresh.. I'm sorry for your family.
I wish you the best of luck in this. | How do I handle toxic family members? This is long and I apologize but I am in a situation that has me literally at my wits end.

To many times, you find many "responsible adults" who complain about guyren wishing to leave home at the age of seventeen. These "responsible adults" then go into reasoning's why it's bad for guyren to move out at seventeen.
Then they turn around to say when that guy is eighteen, they can move out and do whatever they wish.
How much does one mature from seventeen to eighteen?

"if you are going to the word law to discribe what i read here start cussing. after seeing the news about a baby being left in a car by doctors and dieing. some moron total dip wants to impose more laws and fines on them. knowing that they are responseable parents they have patients waiting and a job to do. they probably stayed up all night after a long day with the baby accidents happen and i'm sure no one feels worse than they do. we don't need any more laws, we need compasion and common sense .when guys turn a certain age and they think they can run over you and your life and that three letter cuss word comes up. thats just obserd. we have people diening in a a war, and we give billions to other countries who hate our everloving guts. why don't we spend some of our dollars doing whats right. like for instants . if a guy thinks they are all that put them ina work camp for free ya know government paid by us boot camp, millitary, something besides passing the buck on people who are tring to be responseable and right. screwing them over and all the guyeren to follow allowing our next generation to be freeloading idiots who can't fin for themselves. we are raising a generation of low life with no common sense or intelligents because the law sucks. if guys run away they should be on there own, they made the choice. they should have to live with it no matter what happens. because with out no consequenses neither the law or parents have any athority. you just exist like a door matt. all guyren who run away should be returned to face the music the parents shouldn't be punished for making the guy go to school and be clean and responseable. harboring a runaway should have penalty. but if you want to keep a runaway you should accept and be liable for the guy. and all it's many problems that go with it. if your going to let a teen age guy move in and screw your daughter you should be responseable not anyone else. my wifes boy decided to quit school do drugs,steal, lie,and start a smoking habit. the woman who owns the girl he now has sex with since he was 15. buys him and all the other guys in the house cigarettes. and now since his sister seen that she decided she would rather live ina dumpy trailer with 3or 4 other guys that clean her room or help arround the house opened the window and took her makeup and she now r esides ther too , the woman can't afford all the guys show she want's us to give up custody, now what kinda crap is that,. 17 law ---- word."

Now for my take on this: It doesn't say how old this adult is. But they are old enough to worry about their seventeen year old moving out.
Now, if this was my parent, I would be utterly ashamed. This happens to be one of the "responsible adults" who complain about the ability of a guy to move out at seventeen. Now, if this person wants their guyren to listen to how they are irresponsible and need to stay in their home with their parent, maybe the parents should have stayed in school longer than their sophomore year.
I see this time and time again in which a parent who says their guy is irresponsible cannot spell "irresponsible".
These adults say that this new generation is "out of control", think about who raised this new generation.
You hear parents say, "If I would have spoken to my mother like you speak to me, I would have had my face slapped."
Well, dear parents, learn to discipline your guyren. Taking away their cellphone or computer isn't going to do it.
So my question to all of you is: Why is it that guyren are so often criticized when they wish to move out at the age of seventeen when a large majority of them have a stronger mental capacity than their parents do? | Because they are guyren, or young adults just starting out.
Even though they may have a stronger mental capacity, they might not have the stronger pay check.
Maybe it's not that they have the stronger mental capacity, but a different way of seeing or looking at things, a different approach at solving problems.
The second answer is also right, | B&A: Genre turn-offs...would you read this type of novel? Good evening, all.
Now, then. I'm trying to power through and finish my novel (novella, perhaps?) by the end of this week/break to get it out of the way before my health crashes more than it already has.
However, I have a dilemma. While doing a class workshop, I got some complaints about the genre.
Anyway, my novel/novella is about a 13 year old girl in the Missouri River Bottoms, living in a rather low class trailer-type area. However, her family is wealthy. Driven by her desperation for attention and her hatred of her family (and the place she lives), the girl befriends one of the area's well-known bad-boys. Basically, she steers herself out of control and goes down a long path of addiction and pain before finally breaking free all together.
The problem is, most people see it as "young adult drama". Definitely not the genre I intended it for. I was thinking more of a addiction/coming-of-age novel, with adventures inspired by Huckleberry Finn, etc...
So, even if you didn't LIKE the genre, would you read the whole book? Why or why not? | Well I think the reason it would be seen as a teen-drama novel is because of the part when she meets some "bad-boys". Bad-boys is a HUGE theme now days in teen drama books. And the fact that her family is rich, but lives in a low-class area doesn't make much sense...perhaps there's a reason behind it though :) Personally I would read it if you really make a change in the character from the beginning of the novel till the end. Read To Kill A Mockingbird, that's a wildly famous coming of age novel :) Good luck!
answer mine please?
answers.yahoo.com/question/index;… | Ps3 Slim Or Xbox 360 Slim? I know it is a lot but please read all of it. I had another post or question about consoles I should get but I want to spend my money in a good way. I am probably only going to get one console since I had both Xbox 360 and a Ps3 (which are both broken) I am in a bit of a jam, I also have to start post secondary education so I can't have too much time for games but enough. So basically I liked my Xbox for the following reasons: Live was very fun to cruise around on, info about new demos. trailers, stuff like that and I used to play with my friends A LOT. I have noticed though people who play or talk on Xbox 360 and Ps3 are basically the same, I run into annoying people everywhere. I've also gone through 2 headsets for the Xbox 360 and now I am just thinking of getting a Turtle Beach headset, what do you think?
For the Xbox 360 I also like the avatars even though it isn't as complex as PlayStation home, I find it more enjoyable to have my Avatar than running around in PlayStation home. Although there is tons of stuff to do on Playstation Home, there is a cost for pretty much everything. I also really like my Xbox 360 controller better than my Ps3 controller but it doesn't matter too much, I want to play co-op on one console as well so I don't know which is better since there are more games coming with more co-op improvements. For the Ps3 I only have one Blu-ray disc which is Avatar so I'm not using Blu-ray that much yet. I also recently bought a Playstation $20 card a week before my Ps3 got the YYLOD. The network doesn't matter too much since I have good Internet connection it's just that most people on Ps3 have shotty connection which makes games little bit slower when they become hosts for it. One big reason I want a Ps3 is for Uncharted 3, I just simply love it and I heard there will be more adjustments for the new game, but most of the games I am anticipating are multi-platform. I've done A LOT of research on the whole Ps3 Slim and Xbox 360 Slim problem, but for some reason I'm still stuck. To be honest I enjoyed online more on the Xbox 360 than the Ps3 since I have more friends on the Xbox, and more people talk which is more entertaining and more team based. Most of the people on Ps3 are actually annoying teens and pot heads, I mean there are some adults but it doesn't make a difference in gameplay. I had also more problems with the Ps3 controller than the Xbox since the Ps3 controller analog sticks got stuck a lot of the times, and it also feels waaay to light for me. For the new Ps3 exclusives everyone is yammering about, I'm not that excited for it because I don't care for most of those games. Like for example, I know tons of people will disagree with me but I didn't enjoy God Of War too much, basically one play through and that's it not really compelling, I'm not into final fantasy or twisted metal and things like that. I'm not really interested in getting playstation plus either since it doesn't have that much to offer compared to the Live. I'm not that hyped about the Blu-ray player built in either, I mean its a great addition and great for new technological consoles but I'd rather buy a Blu-ray player for my living room with the 50 inch HD TV. To be honest the only thing keeping me on the Ps3 side is Uncharted 3, and also since I bought my 20 dollar point card for Playstation lol.
I also have to say that most of the arguments I hear against the Xbox 360 and for the Ps3s side is that online is free even though 50 or 60 bucks a YEAR isn't that much, plus you get more for what you pay. I also hear that the Xbox 360 overheats more and RROD, I've had my Xbox 360 pro for 3-4 years and none of that occurred for me except the disc tray problem which wasn't that big of a deal until I screwed up my disc drive trying to fix it by myself :P So really now all I got going for the Ps3 is Uncharted 3, and since most of my friends of which I have like 30 on or something don't even invite me for games or even message me, while on Xbox I always played with people. I mean maybe I can buy the Xbox 360 slim and just let me bro buy a Ps3 then I can play uncharted 3 with him haha. Oh I forgot to add that when my Ps3 got the YYLOD after the patch which was supposed to be make my Ps3 safer and protected after the Hack, was just ridiculous for me. For now I'm leaning most on the Xbox 360s side since I enjoyed playing on it more, but I want to hear what you guys and ladies hopefully :D have to say. Now I don't want a console war or a short answer like "PS3" or "Xbox 360" please don't do that it's immature. (Now since I said it you will probably do it...trolls...:P) I also don't want to hear about Ps3 exclusives because I saw them all and did my homework also Halo and Gears are okay for me I don't mind those games. So if you people can please answer my question I will be very apprecia | | PS3 Hands down | Does this sound crazy to you? My mom thinks she's normal and it's effecting our relationship? My mom is very mentally unstable, but not dangerous. I'm about to cut ties with her but my guys would be crushed. I just don't know what to do. She won't even see a doctor even though all of her guyren say she needs to. Her behavior includes harassing her adult guyren about the way we raise our guys and tries to undermine us when it comes to them and trying to control us still. That's the biggest thing.
A few examples are:
Telling me I'm a bad parent for preparing my guys for life rather than sheltering them from it. She's mad because I let my 5 year old son ride the bus to school under the supervision of his 11 year old cousin. She says it's too dangerous for him to ride the big guy bus.
She's mad that he dresses himself, has a few simple chores and can make his own cereal. She thinks I should still be doing that.
She told my sister who is 26 that she should just find a job in retail or factory and buy a trailer instead of going to college because THAT'S too dangerous, that living 45 minutes away from her is too far away because something could happen.
She told me that I shouldn't bother trying to get a CNA license because my husband should be the only one working so I can take care of my guys, because she doesn't like their father watching them because he doesn't do it like HER. She thinks that she is the only one I should ever trust with my guys and that parents who use daycare are stupid and neglectful. Never mind that they have to work and don't get a free check like she does.
She hasn't worked herself in 7 years and gets everything handed to her. My dad died and she gets his S.S. for herself and my 2 little sister at $600/each. And according to her, that's because "God knows she's stayed home and raised her guys, so that's him rewarding her so she don't have to leave her guys alone. Her youngest is 10 and in school all day, that's 8 hours she could be working. And "God" wouldn't care if she pulled a Duggars and had and raised 19 guys, it's how much you put into S.S. but she doesn't believe that either.
And finally, she keeps saying that she is going to hit the lottery because God told her and her deceased parents have led her to the numbers. She's been playing the same numbers her parents showed her for 6 years (they've been dead for 21 years). Us older guys know she's crazy, but my 10 year old sister cries everytime we lose because my mom promised her that this money is coming because God, her parents, and our dad are in Heaven making sure she gets the new house she wants.
What would you do if you were me? Cut ties? Find some anti psychotics and slip them to her (joking)? Or just deal with it? Because it's making me crazy, too. | | Wow, cut ties shes a jerk. |
