I attended my mother's memorial service via Zoom.   She and my father has a lot of out of state and Canadian friends and family joining the zoom meeting but the service itself was held by the cult.   I am persona non grata in the cult as I wrote a letter 20 years ago saying it's not for me.   They are required to shun me except for immediate family that has earth-shattering news.   Other than that nada.

So there has been threads on this before.  I am sure it has been discussed on the forums as well.   What are your methods to keep feral skids ransacking household goods like a plague of locusts?  What are your cost cutting ideas?

Some choose the hiding method such as hiding in the veg bin as skids are naturally averse to anything that grows from the ground and that requires picking.

Ladies and gentlemen start your popcorn!  Chef's nephew, the Mechanic, who is the adult son of Mr Not So Neutral, and who promised to rebuild Chef's vintage vehicle in exchange for a brand new fancy heating system has gotten engaged to party girl BM2.

We haven't seen hide nor hair of either of them since Chef put in that huge, top of the line heating system for them in their garage for free.  Crickets about the vintage vehicle as well.   Most of the vintage vehicle parts remain cluttered up in my garage so they haven't so much as touched one bolt on it I'm sure.

Last week at age 89.  She led a permanently depressed life mostly, IMO, due to being confined to the role the cult assigned to her.   Absolutely nothing physically wrong with her no health issues nor disease . My younger sister, being an only child (well that's what it felt like as she was the golden child) has made a great deal of mourning posts on social media.   

Of course she was always seen as the "loyal" child having not officially left the cult as I had.  Even though she has no intentions of rejoining and was much more "sinful" in her life than I have been.
