No screaming or anything but def. Not normal.
what did you decide, KQ (?)
My thought this morning is,
Call your neighbor - especially if you see lights On - and just say,
' I am just calling to make sure everyone is okay - I believe I just heard gunshots... '
Good luck ! skiJ
That would have kept me awake for a while.Quote:

I trust KQ to know the difference.
Probably someone shooting at varmints. Like our friend who years ago ran out of the house naked and started blasting the noisy bullfrogs in his pond with a shotgun. While his kids watched.
My neighbors are far away. All I could tell is that it was north of me on the otherside of the river.Quote:

Yup. I could tell you if it was a hand gun, shot gun or rifle.Quote:

What about a pistol shooting snake shot? Or a shotgun or rifle caliber "pistol"? Or a pistol caliber rifle? Hmmm, can you distinguish those? ;)Quote:

It's pretty much every day in my town. About 80% are hoonigan fart cans, 10% fireworks, and 9% transformers exploding.
Exactly the reverse here. And every time a squirrel BBQs itself during fire season it takes hours to get the power back on because they turn off the auto resets and have to visually inspect the entire circuit. Better than having Truckee go the way of Lahaina I suppose.Quote:

It does make it quicker and easier for her.Quote:

House, vehicles, etc? Yes to the will. It shortens and eases probate and all that legal shit.Quote:

In your situation I would think a will would be useful for making sure your kid gets your estate when your wife dies, rather than her next husband's kids.
Probably depends on the state, but real estate helps with the right type of deed passes to other listed owner(s) without further ado. I think it's "joint tenancy with right of survivorship", but IANAL. Key point is that--at least for the people I knew who dealt with it--they simply became full owners of jointly held real estate, no need to deal with probate or anything else, including taxes.Quote:

And a living will for that matter.Quote:

Important to remember that joint ownership doesn’t mean 50%; it means all and nothing at the same time. You wouldn’t try to define what happens with your share of a home jointly titled when you kick off your mortal coil, because your interest evaporates the moment that happens.
I’d trust my wife to make reasonable decisions about our stuff even if she had more kids with the next guy. If that’s your concern, though, I think you’d want to find a different vehicle than real estate and similar to protect their inheritance, or look into giving the stuff to your kids now and giving yourself and her life estate rights. That means you get to live there/use it until you die, but you don’t have an ownership interest for anybody to spar over.
Joint titling of vehicles creates some liability concerns, such that a lawsuit can attach to property that you own even if it’s your wife’s vehicle and she’s the one who was texting and drunk and ran over that poor guy with 12 kids.
Not to sound morbid but, What would happen if you and your wife both die at the same time or very close together? The young kid is not going to be able to do any of the required stuff, so while some may say you do not if joint with rights to survivorship if you die and she does not and all the stuff going to your wife, a will would make it easier on her in most all states.Quote:

Advance Directive/Medical Power of Attorney: doesn’t need to have anything more than a Primary Decision Maker and a Successor Decision Maker. Doesn’t require a lawyer, a doctor or even a notary. Just a couple witnesses. Takes 2 minutes. Without it, you’re at the mercy of whatever arbitrary code that state dictated.
Examples I’ve personally seen:
1) Husband and wife on ventilators with COVID. 18 year old kid is oldest child and only “adult. She’s the one deciding whether to pull the plug or keep mom/dad around as a vegetable.
2) Wife on ventilator. Been separated from hubby for 10 years because he abused her. Now he’s in jail. They’re legally married, so he’s the state designated decision maker. Kids have zero say.
3) Parent on ventilator after car crash. One daughter was driving, and she’s in jail because she was drunk. Other daughter wants to pull the plug on brain dead mom. Daughter in jail won’t let her because if mom dies it’ll be manslaughter for her. They each get an equal vote in the decision.
So yea, get your shit together.

When we did our trust the thing we gave the most attention to was who would take care of our kids if we both died.
You're remarried?Quote:

Carhartt sizing/quality control went to shit a while back. I have large flannel shirts that are a little too small, and a medium sweatshirt that's huge. I've had instances where two pairs of same size & model pants were easily a size apart.Quote:

So weird. Why does it need to exist?
People are always looking for new and innovative ways to get adult onset diabetes
Try to keep this short:
Mom took a fall and fractured her pelvis. In and out of the ER three times over 5 days until we could finally get her admitted to the hospital. During this time she was prescribed Oxycodone which ended up getting refilled and delivered by a local pharmacy to her apartment at the retirement community where she lives. Since she was in the hospital it was left at the front desk. She didn't need it so I didn't go get it right away. I think it sat there in the pharmacy bag for 4 days. Went today to get it. Get home with it, open the stapled shut bag and pull out an empty bottle. Someone had stolen the pills! Upon examination of the bag it does show signs of having been opened and re-stapled.
Called the pharmacy and they say "no way. we triple check." Called and left a message for the admin at the retirement community but have not heard back. I'm really kinda pissed and freaked out.
Q: Should I call the police and report it?
