My neighbor, Lyndon Johnson, has just moved to Florida. His wife, Eula died last year, and he is moving in with his EX-wife, after being separated more than twenty years they are deciding to suport each other in their old age. She came out last month, and seems to be a wonderful person, I wish them happiness. Lyndon decided that 80 years of acumulated thiongs had to go, so he offered me the pick of his property (in his home), I gratefully accepted some of his furniture, and a porch swing he had made, which my kids love. He also gave us a Glade chair from his liviung room, both of these items are desired by his step children. They were told by Eula, thier mother, that she had promised them to my kids, and they after her death insist that Eula told them to come and get them. Lyndon told me to take them, and I did. The kids came with a large truck to empty the house and were very upset that these two items were not there, they were in my yard thirty feet away. Some of the other things that Eula had promised my wife, and Lyndon acknowledged were hers for the taking, were also taken by the kids, Bridget said "whatever, they are her family, we are just friends", but the attitude was there ws nothing too small to take. Lyndon had told them to come down a month before to pick and choose, but they said it was too much hassle, and since he was leaving very shortly, he had to dispose of a lot of things. So he invited in his neighbor, let them 'reserve" what they needed, and promised they could pick them up the day before he left. THEN the kids showed up. Their mother had died a year before, and they made no effort to visit or to look at her things, she had been hospitalized for MONTHS, and they lived 20 miles away and didn't visit her in the hospital. The other son-in-law lives in Arizona, and made several trips to visit and help out. People are really strange, and when the people they are descended from are gone, they JUMP to "get their share, fair or not". In this case they made his departure and the proccess as painful for him as possible, forcing him to break promises, and put "her' family over what his integrity was. He ended up leavinga lot of furnishings in the house, because he had no place to put any of it, the real estate agent ( same gal we sued for embezzlement) was eagarly awaiting his departure so she could clean out the property. he specifically declared the left furnishings were for the new buyer, as he had promised. I am now "watching" the home and hoping she stays out. (she has his keys for the new buyer). Jeffery G.

"In this case they made his departure and the proccess as painful for him as possible...." Greedy, grabby, unthinking, unfeeling, uncaring little four-letter words. Jeff, I wish him the best in his new life, and hope he never gives that bunch of maggots a thought.
