You're correct, Bryant. I have to laugh to myself

when glancing at the number of responses to a posting, in the lower right corner, when, for example, 10 are listed and I see only two. - Then I realize that the other eight are from those on my ignore list. Heh, heh.

I have also hidden relatives on FB to not see their vacuous postings of

stupid right-wing junk, including pro-gun material.
So, yes, I can peek in when photos of new babies are posted, or read angry screeds when the marriage is in bad shape. I don't see much to be gained in my case of calling them out.

Even though I don't post political material, they can see my "like" of Jimmy Carter, for instance, and know where I stand.

I don't believe one changes minds with Facebook postings, when they still have their families, their media choices, and maybe even their ministers reaffirming those choices daily.

I understand that the lights on the Eiffel Tower have been turned off

tonight.
They will return again to light up the City of Light!

For the people of Paris, and of France. especially those killed, injured,

held hostage, and in any way affected by the terrorism presently on-going -
We beseech you, Lord, have mercy.

Hope- that's what you'd give your neighbors and fellow Dems-

if you go ahead with your plan to run for state rep.

I'll stand by with moral support for your race.

Who else will join me is encouraging an activist-minded Dem in a red locale?

He sounds like an ingrate.

His son Darin is now a Republican Congressman from IL, said to be more conservative than his father, Ray LaHood.
Could that have anything to do with Ray's current complaint about the President that appointed him to Cabinet office?

And what do the courts have to say about this "rule"?

Has it been court-tested as yet?

I understnd that you are clinically sick, which means, in this case,

that you have no energy to deal with the property, not to mention the family members involved.
Sounds as though you have some anger as well - no judgment, just pointing out the fact.

Since family seems recalcitrant re their share of the labor in settling the estate, it might be helpful to write, or have written for you by an attorney, where you stand.
I'm assuming you are not the executor, or, if you are, you can either refuse the appointment or pay to have a third party (lawyer or other qualified person) do it for you.

I wish you well, and concur with those who suggest you get professional help.

Some people just don't know when to keep their mouths shut.

There's (at least) one in every crowd.
