JdN Antano robusto and coffee, with a very tired lady.

Did I miss something?  Something for the win category??  Dean certainly has a knack for leaving those cliffhangers out there.

yes he does need to elaborate a little, it would be good to hear some good news lately, I wouldn't mind a nice fairy tale about one of his avi girls being rich and wanting to move in with him.

Except you need to change that to him moving in with her...and in Florida.

If anyone depends on nicotine during very stressful times and find yourself in a situation where you can't smoke because it's forbidden, I have survived this past week with the little item in the pic  I have always laughed about using one but with the cigar flavored liquid and the max nicotine added (24mg) it's a nice alternative to chewing a box of nicoreetes a day or commiting murder.

Just a wet dream, nothing to see here so keep moving.

Good morning guys.

Good Morning LSU.  How is it going with your Mom?

I will just say she is progressing but the sudden interests of one of my 3 brothers is getting ready to boil over and get really ugly, my 3 brothers totally abandoned her since my fathers passing 7 + years ago and have been holiday visitors only leaving her total care and property needs left to me and my family, of course all of a sudden he doesn't agree with any of her decisions and wants to take total control of her and her life now. The one thing no one talked about when you are younger is what families go through with the aging process, it's expensive, physically wears families out and gets to be really ugly and no one really talks about it. The bad thing is that he and I share power of attorney over my mother so I can see heads locking very shortly on her future care and her assets. It's not a money issue at all since the woman has more cash than she can ever spend and all he wants to do is for her to get rid of all the family property that has been here since the middle 1800's. I just know I want to go really quickly like my father and not put this kind of strain on my wife and children down the road which I know really isn't that far off.

That sucks, Chip. Sounds like a difficult situation. I'm lucky enough not to have had to deal with losing anyone close to me yet, so I can't imagine what that's like, with other family issues on top of it.

Planning well ahead and getting things in order certainly helps.  And as Travellin Dave said set up a single power of attorney for better or worse.

Seems like I see people using these things all the time now, especially in cars.

You're right Chip, this is something that is rarely properly planned for and usually brings out the worst in some people.  Difficult with that joint power of attorney....that's why it is preferred to be with only one person (for better or worse)

Back story on her reasoning, she trusts us both but a close family friend gave power of attorney to one of his children and the first time he got sick and was in the hospital, the son sold all his property and took all of his money and the man was left with nothing after he got out of the hospital fully recovered and he couldn't do anything about it because the other brothers shared the money so he was left with no recourse. Money sometimes creates monsters that you had no idea could exist, this scared her and she didn't want this to happen to her so we have two as check and balance for her well being.

There are other solutions to that issue, especially in Louisiana where powers of attorney are very specific and can easily limit disposition of assets, etc.

I have to watch the damn golf with the sound off.  Mike Tirico is the stupidest most obnoxious ass hole on earth and Curtis Strange is a close second.

Please, he's not even the most obnoxious on that network. That title goes to Stuart Scott. Haha.

I have to give CI credit for their IPCPR new cigars and preorder listing.  While it in no way addresses many of the releases, it does appear that more new cigars will be introduced in a more timely fashion.

Sounds like it's a good thing that I don't watch golf on TV.

We will just have to agree to disagree on that one I will stick with that fucking dumb asshole Tirico.  After all he has had more than 50 sexual harassment complaints at ESPN among many other issues including suspension(s).  Those two assclowns absolutely ruin the broadcast.  Heck they make Johnny Miller look smart.

Just have to turn the sound off, I pretty much only watch the Majors myself.  Main reason I am watching this one is because my son's friend Is in 2nd place.

He's friends with Rickie Fowler? Have your son tell him to put on a normal size hat.
