Oh, Peach, it's been absolutely nuts. I have had attorneys on retainer for her since around May.

Yet I still have to run around doing the legwork on stuff like this. No one should have a tenth of the problems along these lines that I've run into in the past year and a half or so. That's why I suggested strongly to Jack not to let another moment go by without planning for such an event.

My mother actually planned for much of it seven or eight years ago. She gave all her money to my sister by giving it to me to invest for her. So she qualifies for some form of Medicaid that equates her with being destitute. Yet it's still been since April/May that we are waiting for Medicaid benefits.

It's become much better though. It's just small issues like this that drive one crazy.

The computer being a logical extension into the Internet of ones emotional state I suppose I did allow my mood most foul to come out in my remarks recently and so for that I apologize.

Of course, I still think that fat guy dance looked a lot like Lost1 though. gotlaughs.com

<I thought you were making fun of people in the southwest.>

Missed that part of you post; no of course not.

It's pretty much along the lines that these astronomers make such a big deal of it it loses the effect. For example. Think back on how many times we've been told "this is the last eclipse of the century". Like a used car saleman or something.

Then you realize, Oh, the last partial solar eclipse appearing in Borneo at 8 AM. Or it's the last partial lunar eclipse seen in the Northwest. Perhaps the last full planetary eclipse if you are swimming in the Sea of Tranquility.

Actually the people in the Southwest have it better than I. I would have to drive to some remote area to be there at four in the morning else I cannot see it anyway.
