Have you ever heard of something so stupid? She is celebrating turning the big 4-0 next summer and invited the entire family to go to Jamica. So the total cost is $1850 and this is the price breakdown which confirmed I could not go. So you get mad because someone can't afford to go? I think she maybe slightly retarded. But look below at that price breakdown

Now where the **** is all that money supposed to come from? Oh and $180 for the passport
If I am going to save $2000 I rather it be in my savings not going toward a trip.
My family got into an argument over property about 6 years ago. Lawyers this and lawyers that, is all I heard from my mother......lawsuit this and law suit that - name calling and all the other drama that goes with a lawsuit.
For about 9 years, me and my aunt - uncle ( dads brother ) and cousin did not talk. We were separate, and I just within the past three years or so.....reconciled with my cousin ( My dads, brothers son - County Employee ). He is now my best camping buddy - and I look forward to every trip. me and my cousin did not speak for about......7 years I will guess.
His brother just died.....? July ? I think was the month.... of last year. He went to his grave, as I believe ; with hatred and dislike for me ----> for what reason I do not know.
My Uncle ( my dads only brother ) went to his grave - and again...."For what ever reason" ; we had not talked in about 4 or 5 years when he passed.
Me, my cousin and his wife, my aunt now attend the same church. A family reconciled - for what ever reason, I never known, and it has not been discussed ; why I was alienated...and not welcome. My cousin whom just died last year, quit talking to me about May of the year 2001 ; right after I just started my current job.
Sue this family member, **** this family member, ect...ect..ect. For many years, it was a long drawn out drauma ; I could no longer camp on this or that part of the family farm ( about 150 acres ) ---- cause the property was in "probate" as my mom said. I could not go t this part of the family farm and hunt or camp, because the lawyers said so. Property that was once clear had a locked gate on it. Property that was once clear - had tape barring access. My dad telling me, I cannot go here or there. How stupid and immature. Documents laying next to the recliner in the den ( my mom is a privacy freek of sorts ) with legal stamps, notarization, statements...ect..ect. They documents were layed there, as I believe - TO INFLUANCE my thinking and rationalization on the whole process ; that I did not give two hoots in hell about. My mom......ALWAYS and constantly blowing things out of proportion and throwing legal affairs and court info in my face. When I stayed neutral and did not give off a facial expression as I did not cared ; it made her that much mad. Then come the "My property inheritance" is at stake. Oh well.
As I understand, from just listening - there is no longer a court case and my cousin drinks beer on my dads porch of a summer ; and my mom ( I question her motives a lot ) acts like nothing ever happened. I no longer see "Legal documents " strawn out between the recliner and the wall.....on the floor ( hmmm ) , or in the wood stand with an open face.
