Let me give you another scenario...all true, no tale. I knew two old people when I was much younger....at least 35 years ago. Both of these folks had old cars, one was a 1952 Ford that had always been garage kept, looked great. The other was a '56 Plymouth with a 331 hemi. Both of these cars disappeared and when I asked the old folks what happened to them, their reply was: I've gotten too old to drive and got rid of it.......had I knwon you wanted it, I would have GAVE it to you. Both were well into their 70's/early 80's at the time. Now, had i been first in line and they had given the cars to me because I mentioned an interst, would I have been a slimeball who took something they no longer wanted? The woman with the Ford, her brother came and got it and sold it before nightfall. The old man gave his Plymouth to another young man who yanked the Hemi out thinking he had a dragster engine (not) and junked the rest. Neither of these people felt screwed...they wanted rid of the cars and that was all that mattered to them. I think most of the sour grapes come from them that didn't get the tractor/car/farm, etc. As for being condemned for my feeling towards my bedridden and totally demented grandfather...you never walked in my/our shoes or dealt with the shell of a human being that ceased to live, but just existed. He ate through a tube, breathed on a ventilator and $hit the bed 24/7. You call that a life? We're kinder to our pets when they get that way and have them shot or put to sleep. The self rigteous had Kervorkian jailed but readily pay a vet to euthanize their cat. That, is disgusting.
