a weeping willow because it was so awful that I cried

As someone currently planning elder care for her own mother, this kind of thing scares the shit outta me. I had a elderly cousin (her children were both in the military and deployed often) who's caregiver would convince her to buy her tvs, designer purses, expensive shoes.

*sigh* Why are all the Oregon-based stories on Jez so terrible and depressing? Is it the no sales tax thing? The rain? The salmon?

psychics? A tree-farm heir? A second FAKE heir named Giorgio Armani? A guy named Blancey? What the hell is going on here?! Are you doing Mad Libs & seeing if we go for it?

Is this Eminem in a wig?

10 years ago my grandfather had dementia and after he died we found out that he had been duped by con artists over the phone into signing up for so many scams it was hard to keep them all straight. Took out a first and second mortgage on their house (of which the lent money vanished), signed up for more credit cards…

Prosecutors asked for only 2-3 years?
