Stuff's Been Building Up...
My brother spent a couple of weeks here to help me sort through things as I continue to settle the affairs of Dad's estate. Nobody was sure how this would go, since we hadn't spent more than one day under the same roof since I was a baby. Well, now that it's over, I can honestly say:
Thanks for listening.

I hope things get better now EW.
And a thought ... you could put all that emotion into a fantastic angsty story.

I hear you! My brother and I aren't really compatible people either, and I'd go nuts if I had to be in close quarters with him for a long time! Not to say he isn't a good person, but we're not really personality types that mesh.
I hope you're feeling better.

Sorry to hear things went like that ... settling an estate isn't easy even in the best of situations ... but hopefully things will quiet down for you now. Or at least give you a chance to take a deep breath and just relax a bit first!

Funny, my brother and I don't really mesh either. The idea of being stuck with him in close quarters for 2 weeks ... erk. I'm sure he feels the same about me.

Thanks, gang! It's good to know you all have a decent idea what it's been like without hearing the nasty details (that's a trilogy in itself!)
And as far as putting my brother in a story with Zark...well, I'm not sure even Zark could ever deserve that!

Heh as we get older, I find myself getting along better over some things, and worse in others...he's a bit older than me...and still tries to be more of a parent at times...
No, and settling an estate never is...we are with you in this.

Hi EW, popping in for a moment to say
Hope you feel better now in any case, and we are here, if you want to rant some more!
