People will assume all kinds of stuff about her, but she probably just digitized them. Wish you wouldn't share other people's shit online without their permission.
@BlueVeins If you throw into the trash it is not really yours anymore. If she really wanted stuff not to be found she ought to have burnt the pics in my opinion.
Both my grandma's took scissors to massive collections. My ma caught her ma before she wrecked all of them but on my dad's side there was almost nothing that could be saved.
Sad. Old age. I've already distributed all I could gather and warned the kids not to let someone with memory issues have them unsupervised.
@cherokeepatti This is a really nice thing to do ! Very thoughtful of those people. When you throw away pics or lose them it is a bit like losing their souls.
@revenant we had a tornado here a few weeks ago and it stayed on the ground for 26 miles…starting in the south part of the city and moved to the east. The people who are running the Rodeo grounds have set up a collection room for things people are finding for people to come look & see what they have there that might belong to them.
@Pfuzylogic I agree, I think this person had some kind of drama with the people in the pictures maybe they are her in laws or just family she does not get along with.
What are people supposed to do with big heavy albums full of photos if they've been left by deceased family??? I rent I don't have room for storage like that
Photos shouldn't be thrown away, even if they are scanned they should be preserved. Especially old print pics because they just cannot be replaced. Even the negatives might degrade over time, IF they are even available.
@Pinkglitter My sister loves to do mean things to people, she is sadistic. She filled a stack of spiral notebooks with things she wanted to do to people she knew, things she was planning on doing to them, and things that she had actually done to them. I heard my name was in them a lot. I wished i could have read through all of them before they were trashed by another sister.
@Pinkglitter Let’s just say after my last bout with her when I thought she had better meds (which don’t work on a personality disorder) that I made up my mind not to go around her any more. She texted me many times and I never responded. I’ve seen her walking when I was driving down the road and I keep going.
@revenant we've only said hi to each other but I've never talked to her on a personal level she's an older Asian lady. She always seems drunk though maybe that's due to the family drama.

Did you save them from the dumpster? I think I would have. I’d feel bad if I let someone’s memories especially a friends be destroyed. I probably wouldn’t try to give them back. I would just take them home and put them in a cupboard if one day she brings those pictures up.
@Pinkglitter yeah i wasn't sure to answer, as i misread the post! i thought it was look at this nice family its big and i was like mines bigger! but as soon as i noticed it was about throwing it away i felt sad ;(
