This suggests she is on the miserly side, which makes my comment even more pertinent. I wrote mine out on the back of an envelope, literally! My lawyer has it and says it is perfectly good. Yes, I got witnesses to sign it at the time. I have heard that some mean folk write cheques ("check" to you Mr. Yank) on fridges ("refrigerators") so that the receiver has the utmost trouble cashing it. Apparently it is perfectly legal. <g> -- dorayme

To say that someone does not have to pay to make a will is pertinent to someone who declares she has paid for it. It may be wrong, it may even be impertinent. But it is still pertinent. -- dorayme

You have no idea what > my estate will be nor how I want it distributed so your comment that I > wasted my money is not only not pertinent, but it is also asinine. To say that it is a waste of money may be asinine, but it is still pertinent. Just as it was pertinent to reply to you that your argument against John Wolf earlier: "If God can foresee from the beginning of time who will repent and who will not, then what's the point in trying to get anyone to repent? It will happen or not, just as God has foreseen, without your intervention." was - essentially - a bad one ("He might have foreseen that by John's efforts, some people repent."). Your reply to this was definitely asinine when you had an opportunity here to discuss something mildly interesting. (This usenet group is your chat room isn't it?) -- dorayme |
