We think it’s so bad it’s funny. I laugh every time I think of it.

I think that this is crass and should be discouraged.

Don't know what happened to my reply. Anyway, Tom's grandmother was a wise woman. :) Evan, We give to some favorite charities every year, but my daughter and son-in-law come first in our wills. They're impressive people. Looney, Why lament and encourage that feeling of entitlement? If I were them I would change my will. bikehikebabe,

Evan,
We give to some favorite charities every year, but my daughter and son-in-law come first in our wills. They’re impressive people.

Looney,
Why lament and encourage that feeling of entitlement? If I were them I would change my will.

Probably because I'm not on the Australian pension yet. I just ignore such things. If I end up having anything major to leave I'll think about setting up a foundation. It would be called the Kill The Market Foundation (because a market in necessities kills people). I haven’t got one yet. Probably because I’m not on the Australian pension yet.

(My son said they all say that.) She complied. Grrrrrrrr I just looked it up (Wilson College). It's still on the map. Yea! She believed in education more than anything. She was the only girl in a family of boys. Her mother said that if she couldn't afford to send them to college, she'd send the girl, because the woman is the one who raises the children. Boy, did she raise a good one! My husband’s mother got a notice from her college that they’d have to fold if they didn’t get lots of money from Wills. (My son said they all say that.) She complied.
