I have some friends who received some sizable inheritances after their parents passed but the largest inheritance I know personally of was a woman I was dating when I was around fifty. Her dad had already passed but her mom passed while we were dating, she being an only child all assets went to...

I don't currently have one but if old and ugly is what you're after here's a couple of my favorites. Top one is a Jeepster and bottom is a Volkswagen Thing. Both are ugly enough that they're very cool, and both are a bit more affordable than muscle cars.

No, when people in my family die it always cost me money, there's never been anything to inherit.

Why would I hate church? I'm an atheist but even that's certainly no reason to hate church or those who choose to attend. Sounds like a gas lighting question to me.

I hate the thought of missing teeth so would have it repaired, but I'm only 63, I may feel differently later in life.

I do but not a speciality face cream. My hands get dry so a couple times a day I rub in a squirt of hand cream and then almost always rub my hands over my face and sometimes my neck. Let's me get rid of the excess moisturizer that is on my hands.

I think traditions vary family to family and faith to faith. I don't worry about any of that, for me it's about my level of intimacy with the deceased and family. Casual acquaintance or friends relative I'll go to the funeral home and pay my respects, not the cemetery or the wake. Close...

Now that's a good question. Years ago there were two homes close to me that had a small patch of woods between yards, every tree there was spray painted on one side, ugly mixtures of colors up and down the tree up to about man height. That's one neighbor hating the other.

I would never leave anything to simply fall into the hands of state or local municipalities. Even for those estranged from family or alone in the world I believe they should choose to direct how their estate is distributed. Sure it can be a charity but what about a more personal level? How...

If the screws are on the neighbors side doesn't that mean the post and stringers are on your side? Not an easy question to answer without seeing the fence and quality of build, show us a picture. I also think how the neighbor keep their property matters, if the neighbors yard is a dump they...

Burglar alarm? What's the police response time in your area? I guarantee you it's not instantly. Not to mention some security monitoring companies will try to contact the homeowner first, which adds to the delay. Outdoor lighting? Is a neighbor going to be awake at 2A.M. to see an intruder...

I'm not sure how the rest of the world is but the US has become a gluttonous society, if it's not bigger its not enough. Houses, food and beverage servings, cars, vacations, weddings, everything has to be over the top. The cost is crippling, a lifetime of debt, obesity, physical and...

People have always seemed to like me and I've never understood why, and I'm not being modest. I'm truly not a very social person but am friendly. I think people mostly want to like each other, as long as you show interest in others and treat them with respect they will like you.

I believe you are doing yourself a great service. Best wishes on your sobriety!

I'm good at apologizing when warranted, I usually recognize I made a mistake quickly. Typically it's my mouth that causes problems, another reason I'm a man that's greedy with words. But I'm not overly apologetic, I'm going to say it and mean it and move on.
