Ok so as a few of you know I have been taking care of my dad, he lives in AZ and he is just about to turn 91, I take care of his (and his girlfriend's) bills, help them with money, all kinds of stuff, he's had numerous medical issues and not kidding by all rights shouldn't be here, cancer, 5 heart attacks, 2 hip replacements, the list goes on and on, my mom said he would outlive us all just out of spite, so far he's beaten my mom (literally and figuratively) and my oldest brother.
So I'm talking to him on the phone and he mentions something about paving their stone driveway, so I thought I heard him say they had it done but asked when they were thinking as I think it's a good idea. He says they had it done last week and had it done in concrete not just paved... so my gears are turning and I asked how that worked out, he says "Kim (the girlfriend that he has been with for 49 years and my mother referred to as 'the widow' :r ) paid for it. I said, how did Kim pay for it and he now fills me in on how she had "a couple hundred thousand" in stocks and he has been trading them for a while and has it up to about 300k.... now it takes a minute for this to sink in and to be honest I couldn't think straight enough to speak but I babble out something along the lines of "huh?"
Yup seems they have all kinds of money, I asked him why I have been paying their bills and having little projects like the super expensive up and back ramp to the door so he can get in and out in his wheelchair without help, etc. and he says "I thought you wanted to." ... Again, stunned, get out "Whaaaaa..." and he just starts laughing and laughing, now don't get me wrong he's had a really rough time lately so it was honestly good to hear him laugh and of course I started laughing .. and said the first thing that came to me, "God you're such a f u c k i n g Jew!" :lr :lr :lr
So looks like I'll be able to pay off my car faster now, buy more cigars, NOT pay for a special stand up spa to bathe in, well not for them. :tu
