Without a doubt I am nothing like irie's experience. That does not even sound like a mentally ill person to me. Sounds like a lazy bum who is doing nothing but waiting on his folks to die so he can inherit their stuff and continue to do nothing. If he is mentally ill then he needs help because that behavior is not normal or desirable. Sounds mostly to me like he is just a bad person. My parents have joked with me, told me when they die I'm getting a boat, house, money, ect. I laugh about it but I am not making vacation plans or anything, if they died I would be devastated. I never want my parent's to die, just saying this stuff is making me feel kind of chokey....
If he said that out loud...that is horrible, shallow, selfish, callow and my opinion of such a person would be pretty damn low. I can see why Irie is so distainful of him.
Mj I'll get too in a bit, I have some chores and a session.
Scarlett,

If I made you feel bad IN ANY WAY, I truly apologize. My experience with my parents bum neighbor is as close as I've had to mentally ill. I completely understand it takes all shapes and forms, and isn't identical in any 2 people. With that said, you are a wonderfully insightful, intelligent, attractive and witty woman--and I hope you didn't take my post the wrong way.

Take care of YOURSELF, first and foremost, and keep us posted. Hugs and love, honey.
