Cheat Your Siblings Out Of Inheritance

1. Hire a lawyer that knows the law. And knows how to get around it. If your brother-n-law could recommend the lawyer he has used through the years to acquire all his properties for $0 each, that would be perfect. This lawyer becomes your personal lawyer, not the estate's lawyer. Wink.
2. A notary public will be required. Make a point to keep one of these on your friends list. A friend wouldn't hesitate to bend the rules for a trusted friend in their time of need.
3. Since most people do not know what needs to be done, offer your services to take the time needed to figure it out for everybody. Assure them that even though it will be hard work and take a lot of time out of your schedule, your are up for the challenge and won't hesitate to ask for help if needed. 
4. There will be those that want to help, ask a lot of questions and/or won't leave your side. Feed those people information that you want them to know. Involve them some how and they probably won't suspect a thing. 
5. Construct a story with convincing details. Not lies but "alternate facts." Examples below.
6. Practice forging your siblings signatures. Legal documents will need to be signed by "them" to transfer property when a beneficiary deed exists. Life insurance policies require listing a beneficiary. An IRA account will list beneficiaries. Bank or savings accounts will require the signature of beneficiaries. 
7. Power of Attorney becomes a powerful tool once everyone signs over their rights.
8. Once the statute of limitations is up then you will be in the clear to spend your stolen treasure how ever you please. 
9. Make sure that the lawyer seals the file and makes it for your eyes only.
10. Taxes? What taxes? (truth is tax evasion is a crime and so is forgery, fraud and conspiracy)
11. Be prepared to get caught, go to prison and never see any of your "friends" or "family members" every again. (truth is karmic debt is real and you should be very afraid)

Alternative Fact Examples

• The funeral costs are so much the vehicle will have to be sold and/or we will all have to pitch in out of our own pockets.
• Several credit cards were maxed out and will need payment. (truth is your lawyer can write letters to the creditors stating $0 in the estate and debt will be forgiven)
• There was a lien on the house that must be paid before we can sell. The bank will get the house and the contents. (truth is brother-n-law gets the house put in his name for $0 moves in and then goes to the bank gets a loan for house value)
• Probate court requires there to be a will and no will was found. (truth is you never looked)
• There are no assets to list because the deceased had nothing of value in the house. (truth is you arranged a secretive event to ransack the house taking everything and placing in storage before the funeral takes place)
• Medicaid demands repayment. (truth is it could happen but didn't)
• Declare your belief that everyone was informed and that their absence was taken as their choice to not be involved. (truth is they were never informed)

How do I know all this? Because this happened to me. In my next post learn how I discovered the truth. Hopefully you will be able to use this information to keep this from happening to you. It's more common than most people think.

Plastic Lids, Potatoes and Wading Pools Have This In Common

Potatoes, wading pools and plastic lids are all super stars when it comes to usefulness and easily done.  Easily done means no crazy ingredients or weirdness. Those are the two requirements that must be met for any tip to get my attention. They all passed the test with flying colors.

I know for sure I will never look at a plastic lid the same way again. A bag of potatoes will become a staple again in my kitchen. And I guess I'm just speechless when it comes to the wading pool.

Potatoes on Overtime

• Dye your hair darker with potato water. Dip a comb in the water that potatoes were boiled in and then comb through hair. To speed the effect and help set the darker color, dry hair in the sun or a blow dryer. Heat is what we are going for here. I have had success with putting on a shower cap. The heat coming from my head is trapped which intensifies the effects of dye.

• Black paint is made by baking potatoes until they are completely dried out and black. Grind thoroughly with a mortar and pestle. I bet there is a setting for that on a fancy blender or maybe food processor. I don't have either so it's up to you to let me know by leaving a comment. Add enough linseed oil to form a paint like consistency. I never have enough black paint.
• First aid kit inclusion as a compress after an accident. Boil a potato for a warm compress. Put that boiled potato in the refrigerator for a cold compress.
• First aid kit as itch relief. Salt a thin slice of a raw potato. Rub on hives or insect bites for itch relief.

Plastic Lids Do Double Duty

• Use the caps from spray paint cans to organize the screws, nails and other small find-me-not items that scatter about. Attach caps to a sturdy bottom so it's easily removed or maybe just setting them down in a drawer is just as good. An easy trim if they are a little too tall.  
• A three or four inch plastic lid from a tub of butter with an X cut into the center becomes an impromptu ponytail holder. The same plastic lid and the same X slid onto the handle of a paint brush becomes a shield to catch accidental paint drippings that can cause havoc.
• Rim down and placed over a drain makes a plastic lid a sink stopper.
• Be on the lookout for those lids that will be a perfect fit on a magnifier, binoculars or camera lenses. I really like this idea. I'm on the hunt.
• Plastic lids can be cut and used as stencils. Hey, haven't we heard that a potato... no wait, I'm thinking about a raw potato used as a stamp. Never mind. But this is a good one to remember.

Wading pools are not just for keeping cool in the summer, but for looking cool too. Obviously, just look at him. So cool. Even though the price was right when I saw wading pools on clearance a couple of months a go. I could not figure out where to store my bargains until next summer, so no deal. Until now. I might even  buy a wading pool at full price when summer gets here

During the summer months fill with fresh cold water from the hose for your feet. Toddlers will love to swim in them and when your back is turned so will the birds. Filled with ice, they make a great cooler for drinks at your next party. Or corral toys and other yard stuff laying about.

Here's where my mind is blown. A new approach. I missed it plain and simple. An easy fix to my problem, couldn't see it. Completely missed it. I think two or three wading pools would be fun and functional in the summer.

During the winter months wading pools become storage containers for what ever fits into them leaving enough clearance to slide easily under a bed. Out of sight. This is a personal favorite of mine. Wading pools can be used in several different ways all year long, useful multiplied. Fairly inexpensive and available for purchase just about anywhere during the summer, easily done.

I think I have seen quite a few wading pools thrown away at the end of summer, either in a dumpster or setting beside the road for trash pick up. You betcha I'll be watching out for them now. And when buying a new one probably gonna consider how sturdy and dimensions.
Wading pools could be super useful for those long tubes of wrapping paper. And what a great organizer. Portable and stocked with everything needed on Christmas morning for Santa's helpers.

Tag you're it. Leave a note. Thanks

"I thought of you today,

but that is nothing new.

I thought about you yesterday,

and days before that too.

I think of you in silence,

I often speak your name.

All I have are memories

and a picture in a frame.

Your memory is a keepsake,

from which I'll never part.

God has you in his arms..

I have you in my heart."

My lil brother is a pug.

http://www.akc.org/breeds/pug/index.cfm
Here he is for all the world to see.  Isn't he cute.  I come from a family of 5 girls.  I'm refered to as #4.  We have no brothers.  Daddy always wanted a boy and now he's got one.  I am not kidding when I say he is family.  We sisters call him our lil brother.  You can not enter my dad's house without greeting Digby.  He most definately can pull rank on you if he needs to.  He's a sweety.  He loves all people and enjoys all the attention he gets.I had to include him here for no other reason than to score some points with my dad.  They make a handsome duo when they take their walks around the block.

Now that this task has been accomplished I can get back to sharing tidbits of information on all the other subjects I enjoy.  I think I am having freebie withdrawals.  Going to do something about that right now.
