Are YOU Prepared ?|General Discussions & Questions|Forum|Winchester Collector

   Good Evening, Members and Guests,,,,,,,

  It’s, 6:10 pm 17 April 2015, Here in the Twilight Zone, It’s 65 degrees outside, kinda Sunny Day, the Daffodils are out in Bloom, the Forsythia Bushes are Blooming. I Think Spring Might be here in the Zone.

  Just a Little Note: I was able to remove the bandages from my finger tips that I Type with (one on my right hand, my middle finger and one on the left hand, my index finger), I have No finger prints on those two fingers, my nails on those two fingers are worn down past the quick. They are somewhat sore but that’s the way it Goes.

  Well enough of that, As the Topic to this Thread states, Are YOU Prepared ? Are you Intrigued as to what you should be prepared for?

                       Well, It’s time for a Cigarette Break.. I’ll be right back…. 

  Are You Prepared For Life In The Forever After Zone?  It’s Not a Subject that I Think of Often, but you can be here today and gone tomorrow. Just to share an experience I had back in the day (1988) I was working at my present job. I had been there for two (2) years already, I was performing my duties that were assigned to me that day. All of a sudden, WHAM, my ordinary day just vanished in an instant, it could have been the end of life for me that day, but I was to young and to dumb, to die that day.

  I was at home recovering, able to get around walking, but I couldn’t drive. I sat there Thinking to myself, I need to get my things squared away, I could have died. I was single at this time (i’m still single), so I got out the phone book looked under Lawyers in the Yellow Pages (back then there was only one page of them), randomly picked out and Attorney and called.  I could come over that afternoon to talk about making out a Will. So I get all bundled up because it’s Winter, I had to walk about 3 miles, so I arrive at the Lawyers Office, walk in, take off my layers of clothing. All of a Sudden I hear, (from the secretary)  Oh My, What in Heavens Happened to You ! (i thought she was commenting about my face, as I had popped my zits before going over) I said, I had a little accident at work, Her Reply was, So Who Do You Want to Sue?  I replied, I don’t want to Sue anybody (i’m thinking maybe i misunderstood her, maybe her name is Sue), I’m here to Make Out a Will, I could have died that day, is Joe in the office ?  Oh you are the one that called, yes I am the one that called, she escorts me back to his office and

                        It’s, 7:25 pm 17 April 2015, time for Another Cigarette Break,,,,,,,, I’m Back

we make our introductions, he says why do you want to make out a Will ?  I said, because I could have died that day, and I would like to make arrangement’s to distribute my Worldly Possessions as I see fit. Well He says, we live in a Commonwealth (zone), are you married ?  No I replied, would your Secretary Marry somebody that looked like Me? He said, I can see your point. But if you were married  all your Worldly Possessions would go to my wife, so there would be No Sense in having a Will (i’m thinking, I own more that a few cents). Are your Parents alive? Just my Dad, I replied. He said, well all my Worldly Possessions would go to my Next Surviving Blood Relative, do you still want to make out a Will ?  Yes I replied, he asked to list all my personal assets, Well I own my truck, some welding equipment, your normal household items, I rented a house at the time, (so no house) and some guns.

  Well he said, you don’t own much do you. I replied, Yes own quite a bit really, My Winchester Gun Collection is Worth Millions to Me, it’s my hobby, I travel all over going to gun shows, I read everything I can about them, Even The Bible, he just looked at me (like I was from the twilight zone) and shook his head. I told him, that everything I own could go to my Next Surviving Blood Relative, BUT My Winchester Collection, had to be put up for Auction, that No One Person (especially the local gun dealer) could approach my next of kin and buy My Winchester Collection as a Whole. I wanted the Average Joe Gun Collector to have a chance of obtaining one or multiples of My Winchester Collection at an Auction. (remember no internet back in this time frame)    They were My Prized Winchesters, I wanted Joe Gun Collector to Cherish them in his collection as much as I did.

  So, it’s time we hit 88 mph, make the time warp into the Present Twilight Zone. I am still employed at my same job, there is always the chance when I leave home in the morning, after patting hoobies on the head and telling him, I’ll see ya later hoobie, only to never make it back to the Twilight Zone. Dad’s been dead for over a decade now, I have No Kids (i couldn’t imagine reproducing someone like me), My Next Surviving Blood Relative, gets everything I own, Except for My Prized Winchester Collection, that still has to be Auctioned off, piece by piece. Because I have a Will, Stating My Wishes.

  I have no idea, of the peoples ages that might read my post,

  It is something we all have to think about.

  If you took the time to read it, I hope you enjoyed it. 

  I hope this thread doesn’t turn into a legal debate. Post those reply’s in the Legal Section of this Forum.

  What I have Posted, Only Pertains to Living in The Commonwealth of, The Twilight Zone.

  Who Knows, Maybe I will Change My Mind and Donate My Winchester Collection to the WACA, so they can Raffle Them Off.

  I have to get going as it’s, 9:58 pm 17 April 2015, the tips of my fingers are getting really sore and I think Corporal Tunnel    Syndrome is Setting in.

  So, Singing Off, From The Twilight Zone,
