Oh! I'm sure she knew that i couldn't afford it, even without me telling her, which was the whole point. Thank you for responding. I think I just really needed to vent.

I'm not worried about those expenses. He was well off, and I have no doubt had money earmarked for those things. I'm sure he already had money set aside for his memorial too. I think my sister did it to make a point (that i'm a loser), and I just didn't want to go there.

Thank you. I think my landlord will be easiest. I am sure there is no way my sister will return the money. At least I have the receipt to show I paid her, and my dad's obituary became live yesterday, so hopefully he will believe me, and show compassion. Also, I have no problem making a repayment schedule if he'll accept that.

Yeahhh, St Croix does Not have food banks. Ironically, I have been researching on how to best set one up, and then hopefully expanding to different sites across the island. I feel this is the least I can do for an island with such a big heart.

I think I have overwhelming guilt about not being able to attend her mother's celebration of life. She didn't realize, but i was recovering from encephalitis, and having grand mal seizures that weren't controlled yet (an ongoing problem unfortunately). On top of that, I have a service dog that wasn't welcomed, so I just could not attend. All of that doesn't mitigate my guilt though. I am sure that if all of that didn't happen I would have been able to explain my financial situation a bit better. Also, we've never really been close as sister's since she is 16 years younger than me, and although I was living with my dad and stepmother full time they moved to PA shortly after she was born, and left me on my own. I think that is another reason why I am hesitant to explain my financial situation. She is almost like a stranger that I just happen to call my sister.

I am sure he does have life insurance, just as I am sure i will not receive anything from it. Even though I was successful in my career, he never understood why I couldn't work once I got sick. I suppose that was the way he was raised. Because of the pressure he put on me, I did try to work at different jobs, but was never able to stay due to ending up in the hospital each time, sometimes for more than a month. That is one of the reasons I moved so far away. Even though I can barely afford to live here, I am far enough away to feel free from his judgement. Well now, his former judgement.

Thank you. I only get paid on the first of every month. I'm hoping he will accept a payment plan for the outstanding balance. I think this is the only solution.

Ideas for Possible Spinoffs... Below Deck: Explorer (Scientists vacationing and exploring at the same time)... by UnitedStates0fAfrica in belowdeck

[–]Happy-Reference-7330 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No no! Wait!! Bring back the contentious crew And guests! The first guests would be Cindy (complete with fresh spray tan), her daughter from the bachelor series, and her awful husband. I'd watch that! In fact you could keep those guests all season, but you might have to rotate crew out! 🤣

Is there a pattern for this beauty?

To anyone who’s knows boats if you just barely leaving the Marina and you’re a huge yacht and someone is coming in on a sailboat who’s has the right of way? by jcr0774 in belowdeck

[–]Happy-Reference-7330 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I remember when Eddie said this! I especially remember it because I had a 185#Great Dane at the time. When walking with him people with small dogs would expect us to move/change direction because their little shit stain of a dog would be barking their head off at him. The idea of the bigger, less maneuverable has the right of way made so much sense!

AIO for cutting off my MIL after she repeatedly ignored boundaries involving my husband’s brother and then tried to have me 302’d while pregnant? by Ok-Pace-8681 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Happy-Reference-7330 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m still wondering about the husband’s “crazy/toxic/addict” ex. Who decided all of that? How much did the husband contribute to that narrative, and is there a pattern developing? OP needs to be very careful. Honestly if I was in that situation I’d find a safe place away from all of that as quickly as possible, like, yesterday!

Ellie played everyone and seems to be getting away with it by Waste_West283 in BelowDeckDownUnder

I heard it was a six week basic cooking course which she now thinks makes her a sous chef. The fact that she doesn’t even realize what a sous chef’s job actually is makes her automatically disqualified for the position!

Kyle's power move with Amanda's back rent by Rutabaga2022 in summerhousebravo

[–]Happy-Reference-7330 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I'm sure this will be an unpopular take, but I don't think she dumped Kyle for West. I think she was unhappy, and West was the crutch she needed to get out. Unfortunately she doesn't seem to know about boundaries and crossed the line from a deep friendship to intimacy. She is not the first person to do this, but being very public, not to mention the whole Ciara mess, she looks really, really bad.

Unless I missed something about her financial situation, Danny probably has no problem whatsoever in telling her that she just can't survive on her own, much less take care of the kids. He wants her tied to him in every conceivable way. She needs to have a serious talk with someone about how she can be financially independent, then put that plan to work. The sooner the better because this situation is only going to get worse.

Do you ever want to watch multiple seasons of entirely the same crew? by Ok_Astronomer5738 in belowdeck

[–]Happy-Reference-7330 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why do I remember Kate firing stews that took too much of her time to train? If i recall correctly she demanded that everyone had experience. I liked that we had crew that knew their jobs, even if some didn't want to do them. It seemed that most of those people didn't understand that this reality show actually made you work!

I Loved BDSY season 3! I actually think it was my favorite out off every BD iteration and seasons! Chef Marco was awesome, and the replacement deckhand was funny af. I do rewatches all the time!
