Hell, they will even send boxes to your house on request. Stamps.com will give you a postal scale along w/a program to purchase postage and print it out from your computer. Even when I've had to go to the post office, it wasn't that big of a deal. It was your mother, not hers. She should show some respect just on that basis alone. It would be one thing if you guys were siblings but unless she raised her, she has no claim to these items and has some set of balls starting trouble after you lost your mom so suddenly like you did. Sorry for your loss.

Ummmm.....something is fishy all the sudden. Why would YOUR mom getting killed suddenly make your cousin all grabby? If this is true....umm....sorry about your Mom and all. :c / I don't know. My mom was her only aunt and this was very sudden. I am not sure why she sudden wants to keep stuff in the family. She has all sorts of furniture and other stuff from grandma's house.

You might want to take a few months before you make a decision to get rid of the collectibles. What I think I read was your cousin knew and was OK with your mother selling her mother's collection, but is not now OK with you doing the same. Is it possible she is simply applying pressure so that you give her a little more than she deserves?

The problem is as I said that my mother already sold most of it (she never told her relatives becasue she didn't think they'd care). There are two pieces that I kept for myself that I still want and about 4 items that I don't know how to find because they got mixed in with what my mom owned.

Any normal person would understand. Sometimes when it comes to estate items to be handed down, people get big eyes and think they can get something they might not deserve. These are your items and you should take your time with what you want to do with them.

Let's pretend they are something worth having, to make the whole plot more believable. Solid gold ancient Egyptian dildos. (Hey, spell check finally decided that DILDOS is correct and DILDOES is not -- COOL -- took long enough.) Anyway, just pack up and send off what you want her to have. And you're done. Future complaints -- voice mail.

I concur with some of the others. Smash the figurines and videotape yourself doing it and then send it to your cousin.

A girl sitting on the wet ground in the middle of a rainstorm holding a metal umbrella would be perfectly realistic in the world of figurines.
