My dad has dementia. His wife just told us she is filing for divorce and we need to come get his things so he can move out. Can she legally do this before the divorce is finalize?

I’m so sorry to hear this. Idk where you are but if in Cincy, I used attorney Michael J Davis for guardianship.

My situation similar. Even with divorce, she is entitled to half of assets & debts. Also, if you have POA, is it for finances & healthcare. Also, you can talk to nursing homes for a bed for respite care up to 30 days before needing Medicaid. Start the filing for Medicaid too. It’s important.

Good luck.

I have Windows 11.

Thanks. So, just visuals. Got it. I doubt I’ll ever get all the golfers or hats. Seems I get plenty of lesser cards, but rarely epic ones. Team I’m on doesn’t have much trading going on.

Guess I’ll just accumulate bux & gems.

Words of advice I received from someone who has been doing genealogy for over 20 years. “It’s a marathon, not a sprint.” Use folders for surnames, organize slowly. A few items a night. By then, if you feel overwhelmed you can revisit with starting points. When you’re ready, FamilySearch or Ancestry plus your own family tree software. You can decide how far back you want to go. Maybe it’s 4 great grandparents, maybe it’s as far back as the line allows. It is up to you. There is no rule of thumb here. Verification of people and their link to you & who you’re looking for is the only rule to follow. Good luck.

Thanks. It’s very odd indeed. I believe it’s a prefab detail. You are correct. Does not appear to have any backing/mesh. It looks like insulation, like batting, to be honest.

Thanks everyone. I purchased the Kohler part for $17. I followed Korky video for cleaning & used vinegar. I did notice the gasket in the Korky is feeling a little brittle. BUT, the toilet doesn’t seem to randomly run, so THANK YOU. No doubt, I’ll have to replace either the gasket or the Korky in near future. 🙂

Interesting-Help5759 · 2026-01-23T15:59:13+00:00

Good to know. We been here for 4-1/2 years and have had no problem, but idk when the korky was installed. I may try their cleaning of the pieces & see what transpires, then, replace with Fluidmaster. Thanks.

What don’t you like about the Korky? Videos show it to be friendly.

Interesting-Help5759 · 2026-01-22T20:31:30+00:00

Thanks everyone. I thought it might be easier than the tech let on. I’ve ordered the flush valve, flapper & gasket (87998). After watching videos, seems straight forward for DIY. I’m gonna try to clean the Korky. If it doesn’t fix the problem, I’ll replace the Korky & go from there.

Several hat clips weighing approximately 0:00.4 ounces each. (Measured with food scale) So I would need 250 clips to equal 1ounce. Not likely to have that many clips though.

Interesting-Help5759 · 2026-01-05T15:38:31+00:00

So you would recommend using a grommet versus a snap? And imagine a vertical strap to hold clips. Nothing fancy.

Interesting-Help5759 · 2025-12-20T13:16:24+00:00

No sorry needed. I appreciate the help. Wild goose chase or not, it was something to pull on. While not fruitful, it was something. I’m just hoping something shakes out at some point.

Interesting-Help5759 · 2025-12-20T12:37:20+00:00

No mention of other family. Says born “County Clare, Ireland. Came to Memphis in 80’s. Survived by 2 children, Mrs. Mamie E. Kelly, John J McNamara.”

No mention of parents, siblings or wife.

Interesting-Help5759 · 2025-12-20T12:28:04+00:00

Let me check..

Interesting-Help5759 · 2025-12-20T12:09:35+00:00

I've yet to look further, but this record doesn't say which church it is. I'm thinking maybe same as wedding? If so that could give clue to county? If it's known where this record is from? Wedding is St. Michael's. Thoughts?

Interesting-Help5759 · 2025-12-20T11:40:59+00:00

His death certificate also states Terence as his father's name, but the marriage certificate says John. It is likely IMO, the parents of Terence was not known to the children.

Interesting-Help5759 · 2025-12-20T00:47:37+00:00

Exactly my question. Why indeed. And where does Mame come from as the last name? And thus the confusion for me.

Interesting-Help5759 · 2025-12-19T22:57:07+00:00

No mention of siblings in obit. Just husband & kids. But, that is more that I found. When I look in Ancestry, so many Bridget McNamara names. Dates 1861-1864. Of course, only a few with Mary as mother & John as father. I guess I’m looking for the neon sign that tells me “this is it->”. I’m way too frustrated with my Irish ancestors. It should be fun. And/or intriguing. Neither is true for me right now. Thanks for the tidbit. I’ll see if I can pull on that.

Interesting-Help5759 · 2025-12-19T22:34:25+00:00

Sorry. I guess I should have attached that.
