Based on my overall "feelings" about Dresser Queen (family thought that neighbors should, of course, come over and help move heavy furniture out of the parking area into the townhouse/unit; comments about parking, comments about the tree on the front porch being trash, accusing the neighbors of stealing her accumulated newspapers after returning from vacation, and comments about "poor people" baking while borrowing a cup of milk) I am getting a mental picture of (at one extreme) a mean bitter old lady without even twelve cats to love. Perhaps even someone with mental issues (whether recent dementia or long-term feelings of being persecuted) who takes it out on those around her by making nasty comments or other small acts that will make them feel some of the pain and isolation of the Dresser Queen.
But there is also a bit of me wondering if this old lady used to pull the wings off flies sixty or so years ago when she was a toddler............because she seems to have a knack for hitting painful spots with her barbed comments. Is she doing this on purpose or through mental illness is the only question - if it is mental illness, she needs a keeper. If it is because she is a mean spirited bit of nastiness at a lower moral and spiritual level than pond scum - then she needs to be in a place where she is kept from doing nasty things to nice people. Prison, a nursing home, a mental institution, or some similar places come to mind as options...............
