I'm a little confused as to how to react to this news. If at all.
However, I am a little amused that she lives in Three Hills, currently under RCMP siege, and, out driving yesterday, she was stopped and had her car searched from bunghole to butthole.
Heheheheheh.

All joking aside, I went through the discussion with my folks a while back about all this stuff. My old man is an old Oil and Gas guy, and they really minded their finances over the years, and are pretty well set up.
When we were setting up their will, they had it set up that they would leave 75% to me, the remaining 25% to my deceased sisters kids. Since they raised the kids, I told them to split it 33/33/33, and leave me their house.
But I really, really wish, they could somehow perfectly time it, that they blow every last penny on an epic 10 year world tour spending the last one on their last day on earth, and leave nobody a nickel. Raising 2 sets of kids back to back earned them that right, but they just refuse to quit being such tightwads. It really bugs me actually, that they refuse to indulge in life, when they are both around 70, and don't have a ton of spry years left.
