Aj smith?

Subby gets Tosh.0's facebook feed?

AJ can't possibly be the good kid. The good kid wouldn't do that in the obit.

debug: Subby gets Tosh.0's facebook feed?

The siblings agreed their older brother, Peter Anello, cut himself off from the family 25 years ago.

i guess he was the smart one.

He's such an angel.

The siblings agreed their older brother, Peter Anello, cut himself off from the family 25 years ago.

No doubt to get away from AJ and Ninfa...

reminds me of a Chevy Chase movie where the lady that owned the house before him buried her husband and donkey in the backyard to get the last word. For in that town the last word meant everything.

Classy.

This is why we have Festivus. The Airing of Grievances, traditionally beginning with a greeting of "I got a LOTTA PROBLEMS WITH YOU PEOPLE!"

"Your husband didn't die, lady! He's hiding!"

First thing that came to mind when reading TFA. Peter's the lucky one.

AJ?

Ninfa? WTF is a Ninfa?

I'm willing to bet that AJ is a mama's boy, while Ninfa and Peter wisely cut off relations at the first oppertunity.

four95: Ninfa? WTF is a Ninfa?

The North Imerican Nree Frade Act, which was signed into law by President Clinton and which took effect on January 1, 1994.

four95: Ninfa? WTF is a Ninfa?

Ninfa \n(i)-nfa, nin-fa\ as a girl's name is of Spanish and Greek origin, and the meaning of Ninfa is "sea nymph".

If subby had used the Florida tag I wouldn't have had to check to see if it was my father-in-law, A.J. Sounds just like him. And there's a restaurant near him called Ninfa's.

Clinton? You are thinking NAMBLA the north american mexican border logistics agreement.

Coelacanth: I hope AJ has a lawyer picked out.

For what?

Dow Jones and the Temple of Doom: Coelacanth: I hope AJ has a lawyer picked out.

For what?

For when the producers of "Fighting over the Will", America's newest hit reality show, arrive at his door, contracts and cash in hand.

Ringshadow: AJ?

came for this, leaving satisfied

So siblings #1 and #2 are accusing each other of stealing their mother's money while she was still alive. While sibling #3 lives happily removed from that shiat.

/personally finding AJ's word less believable than Ninfa's

Reminds me of this axe-grinding obit that made the rounds on legal blogs a few years ago
http://www.wesawthat.blogspot.com/200 7/12/worst-obituary-ever.html?m= 1

Apparently mom lovingly bequeathed her grudges to AJ.

I saw this in Tosh.0 blog like 300 years ago.

KellyKellyKelly: four95: Ninfa? WTF is a Ninfa?

Ninfa \n(i)-nfa, nin-fa\ as a girl's name is of Spanish and Greek origin, and the meaning of Ninfa is "sea nymph".

So she's some kind of watery tart? That's no basis for a system of government.

Mom was a looker



Also the on-line obit is a bit kinder / gentler

ANELLO, Josie Lazzara, 93, Born in Tampa, Florida, passed away February 11, 2012. Josie was pre-deceased by her husband of 67 years, Vito Anello. She is survived by her sons Peter Anello and Angelo (AJ) Anello, daughter Ninfa Anello Simpson. She had eight brothers and sisters and is survived by brother Sam Lazzara, sister Janie Smith. Seven grandchildren and ten great grandchildren called her Nana. She was loved by all that knew her and will be missed. Family will receive friends and family Thursday, February 16th, 6pm-9pm at Garden of Memories Funeral Home, 4207 East Lake Avenue, Tampa, Florida 33610. A funeral service will be held on Friday, February 17th 3:00pm at the Myrtle Hill Memorial Park Mausoleum.

Seems like it's probably true.
Hypothesis: The care-giver handled everything at the end, and the other sibs ignored their dying mother. So the care giver took care of the obit too. If they had been there helping out, this would not have happened.

Seems likely. My Oxycontin addicted brother refused to come 20 miles to see Dad when Dad was dying.

That's pretty tasteless. My crazy family is much more subtle with the hatred.

/I wrote the obit for mom in December.
//It was about 4 sentences long
///she hated long good-byes

If I had to place a bet, I'd say Peter is the only sane one in that family. No bickering over misappropriated social security money, no aggrieved quotes for the paper, no whining alternative obituaries, just walked off twenty-five years ago and can't even be reached for comment. That's the way to treat toxic families.

I once made an advice thread in TFD about what to do with my toxic family - You know what the common theme of the thread is?
1) Man up, sissy boy
and
2) Family is everything, you never know their worth

Asking for advice from TFD is like asking for advice from a drunk, insane drill instructor posing as a therapist - that pees you in the end since he thinks you're not considering his ill-thought advice.

Awesome. Call the biatches out.

A nymphomaniac ninja?

Having seen what my in-laws' families of origin did (and are still doing) to them, I can safely say that those are two things I'll never say. I wish to God they had emulated "son Peter" and just cut those people off thirty years ago.

/in-laws are in their mid-sixties
//yes, their parents are all still alive. And still giving them shiat about everything.

Come the night, come the night
All the men want to fuss and fight
But not me, not me
`Cause that's not what I want to be
Cause I'm Mama's little boy

Mom tells me everything she sees
Well it may scare you, but it don't scare me
Cause I'm Mama's little boy
I like what I want to see

All day long she watches her dancing sons
Come the night she picks the tallest one
But I'm Mama's little boy
I've nothing to hide

All the Gods, the Gods of the sun
They're just bastards sons
Daddy, Daddy, come and see
The onslaught of insanity
Cause I'm Mama's little boy
And I'm mad

There's a place where I want to be
And it's dark there, there's nothing to see
And you're alone, there's nothing you can do
Something's coming, something's coming to you
You are- you don't know where you are
You are- you don't know who you are
You are- you don't know what you are
You are helpless, you are helpless
That's where I want to be, there's where I want to be
Cause I'm Mama's little boy
I feel, I can feel
Joy

Thanks to Nomeansno for that little bit of Oedipal Complex. As for the article, I know that kids can be bastards, but I also know that parents can be bastards. Maybe the kids stole from her, maybe the mom felt her kids were stealing from her, but there's no reason to put this in an obituary. These issues should be taken care of within the family, not splayed out in front of the entire internet world. Kid sounds like a mama's boy. Wouldn't be surprised if we see a story in the next few years with an Ed Gein, or Norman Bates swing to it regarding this guy.

You can call him A, or you can call him J, or you can call him Asswipe, or you can call him Jagoff, but you doesn't have to call him Johnson.

CSB: in my youth I briefly worked as an obit taker in the classified ad dept of the Chicago Sun Times. I can assure you that anyone taking an obit like that would have been fired if it actually published. Also I met Roger Ebert and Ann Landers.

Why would a paper, especially one as professional as the TBT, publish an obituary which insults people and is arguably defamatory?

On the other hand, bravo for this guy for inviting questions of undue influence over the will.

Also:

"You broke my heart, Fredo."

You're slipping, fark:

that was not a good strategy, letting him get in her car. she's lucky he wasn't a total desperado.
