I am stuffed full of contradictions,
exclusionary fragments and exceptions.
Excessive verbiage and
tedious rules, couched
in pluperfect and
not-so-perfect
antiquated
phraseology.
Obtuse, abstruse
(abusive?)
legaleseology
(is that a word?)
up the kazoo and back again.
But until it is over,
I sit here editing and
re-editing
and re-writing
my interpretations,
my memories,
and thoughts,
ad infinitum,
ad nauseam.
The Declaration of Independence
and the United States Constitution
are easier to read and comprehend
than California Probate Codes.
But the first document
at least gave me
a belief in Freedom,
and the second a
hope for Unity,
while the last
threatens the core
of both freedom
and family unity.
So here I sit,
full of it.


Thanks for your anticipated indulgence in permitting me to vent my frustration over a pending Intestate probate dispute. It is nasty business.

ROFL... because I can identify with your situation all too well. *G* A different state... but similar problems. Someone should really teach legislators to write before letting them loose making laws.

You've just made my afternoon brighter... well written! *S*

Noah, thanks. Wouldn't it be great if we didn't need any laws, but everyone acted out of justice, kindness, fairness and pure love? Utopia...it's all in our imaginations, but still...a goal to work for.

Karen, yes, it can be trying and tiring, an emotional energy drainer at the very least.

Larry, I've missed interacting with you too. I've been busy reading the boring probate stuff, but also reading Oceanography and History and Algebra and Mythology and....you remember High School don't you? It's a never ending saga of subjects. Seriously, I only have a few minutes a day to spend here.
Thanks for reading my diatribe against the legal system.
