清空腦子

 1.  Some people, you just can't help them.  They can still lie and be ungrateful.  Said she never got her $75 CAN and dare to say other people had no friends when she is the one that truly has no friends.

2.  I really HATE people born in the year of the monkey, especially females.  My MIL, sis and SIL!!  They make my life miserable.

3.  Days go by so fast without work.  I don't even know what has been accomplished since I stopped working.

4.  Dad was not well cared for for the last 10 years.  He was lonely with no one to talk to or care about him.  The helper was not doing what she is supposed to do.  She is there mainly in the kitchen cooking and cleaning and shopping for groceries.  She did not do enough!

5.  Mom is incapable and selfish even though she is 15 years younger than my dad.  I would never forgive her for not being there by my dad's side when he needed her most.

6.  I am glad the buy out of the Vancouver place did not happen.  I bet once mom sold it, it will happen.

7.  The trust is giving me headaches.  I feel it's not written correctly.  It focused on the not so important stuff and has no real substance to it.

8.

My Dad's Favorite

 Before I forget...

Inari Sushi - He ate that when he was in elementary school in Japan.  His older brother, Frank, was there, too.

He likes girls with short hair.
