  1. “you feel so bad for Ruthie, invite her to live with you”

    Sometimes I’m tempted, Pete. I go back and forth in my mind about how much I think she knew. My mother (and stepmother) didn’t know a fraction of what my father was up to with his myriad business dealings. If it was my mother, I’d hope they’d let her keep her clothes, while auctioning off the furniture, artwork, piano, silver, etc., from which they could actually hope to collect money for the victims, that’s all. (Ruthie, if you read the OT, email me at my gmail account if you need a place to crash, ok?)

  2. Cargar, as odd as it sounds, I’ll bet there’s someone out there who would be as giddy as a pig in shit to be able to say they have her old shoes and/or dishes. Weird folks out there man.

  3. haha I get the mutton-chop joke now πŸ™‚ well, if the ladies of brownstoner wanted to gather at my place I’d be happy to host and would offer up my specialty dish: asbestos paté served on wafer-thin crackers and sprinkled lightly with lead dust.

  4. I posted on that thread. I told the OP if they moved everytime there was a vermin problem, they would be living in Nevada. Scratching in the ceiling? C”mon. I listent to cars, trains, plains, neighbors and sirens all day and night. Its NYC. OP sounds like a real drama queen (or King).

  5. I just think it’s weird how few personal possessions they let Ruthie keep. I understand auctioning off her jewelry and other valuables, but her old worn out shoes and old towels and chipped everyday dishes? Why not let her take that garbage? Who would want to buy them?
