Regarding the Blog entry about Stan Lee (#FB00107), there’s also the case of Nichelle Nichols.

…i.e : Stan Lee: My Mom had already passed away…

…upon Dad’s death, my brother, the executive of the estate,…

…stated that he didn’t want us all going up to Dad’s to get stuff until he had a chance to categorize it all…

…this didn’t matter much to me because I decided well beforehand that the only thing I ever wanted from my parents was them…

…“I don’t need their junk…

…I have my own.”…

…fighting over cherished possessions seem frivolous to me…

…that didn’t stop my siblings from immediately heading up to Dad’s to take what was theirs to take…

…my brother’s son-in-laws took prize fishing rods…

…paintings were grabbed…

…kitchen nooks…

…tables, chairs, power tools…

…and they argued amongst themselves about whom took what…

…it was like the scene in A Christmas Carol where the undertaker, the cook and the maid all met up at the pawnshop…

…my wife was hard put…

…getting nothing while young adults, barely not children, and not blood related celebrated like winning trinkets on a gameshow…

…and our own children got nothing…

…but i don’t care…

…when I go see my siblings I am not ill at ease…

…I have no grudges…

…and I get to see bits and pieces of my Mom & Dad when I visit them…

…without actually having to have them…

…what this has to do with Stan Lee…

…i have no idea…

That sign on the other side of the door. Can’t really see it through the smoke, but it looks like it starts with a capital “S” and ends with “herpa”. Is that why nothing is being done about it? The landlord doesn’t care?

It was her preferred manner, to never discuss religion or politics with those so involved.

A little perspective on Shoecabbage:

Nobody died.

(although I too am sad to see it go – at least nobody watched it burn and did nothing to intervene)

(oh. wait a minute. that’s exactly what somebody did. several somebodies in fact. never mind)

Karma…..it never pays to be nasty on your way up the ladder of success….because it’s a bumpy road down….awwwwwww

I too will miss Shoecabbage. Recalling the dates when the original ran, I had the sad thought that some of the languages were no longer spoken today.

If that woman is (was) a madam, then she wasn’t the only one to mistreat Anna.

Since “Revenge is a dish best served cold”

this may backfire …!

" Baby, Let Me Light Your Fire. "

Anna walked out of the burning apartment calmly, and was promptly hit by a speeding lorry. I believe she got to the Hot Place before Madam….

Call it Poetic Justice, call it Kismet, Karma, or Fate. Maybe I just made it up as a Moralizing Tale….

Cremation is my preferred exit strategy. Puff, puff, pass.

Chicks on fire…

And don’t forget to send in your customer service comments card. I expect to get five stars. You owe me that.
