I tried very hard to find those hidden attributes. She had full run of the
kitchen, the pantry, the freezer. She declined to go to the grocery store
with us so we could buy whatever she wanted to eat. You snooze, you lose.
We could have cooked whatever she wanted but she wouldn't go shopping with
us.

Yup. She's in a rut she'll never climb out of.

She got a bunch of free furniture out of the deal. And a 12 piece set of
Noritake china, including serving platters and serving bowls. And blue and
white Ming plates my father bought when we lived in Bangkok.

She tried to take my couch. What?! No, you cannot take my couch! "But I
like it!" Tough luck, chick. You don't get to pick and choose. You're not
mentioned in the will.
