I accept your apology. I continue to wonder why 'the cute jokes' about females aren't realized as offensive. But I accept you really don't understand. But perhaps you yourself can track how bitter you seem, how often you juxtapose derogotory material with sexuality. I would understand this as coming from great disappointment in life somewhere along the way. And then there's death. Caregiving is not, as you say, 'unendurable burdens'; it's what's required to see someone out. It is difficult but necessary and beautiful. And it's about 'choice' not 'burden'. Perhaps for some death is best stuck away somewhere...where it's not seen. At home, in comfort, with the love of friends and family, in the ordinary processes of one's life...with style is, and was, for me and my family the right choice. When I hear you brag about scoring on senior citizens on their walkers, I have another image of an older women in mind, a beautiful valiant woman struggling to cope with lack of mobility...buying a racy electric blue walker with wheels and place for a six pack of beer...then rediscovering mobility! Wow, nobody could catch her! Another story... And another view of the body altogether... Which, when one goes through it, simply has to have respect for the human body...organ funtions, serum blood levels, the intricate marvelous ways kidneys process sodium, potassium, calcium to keep the heart going well...to keep this marvelous machine alive. Making fun of sex organs seems so totally silly ... after seeing the whole picture...'the great door open a crack...' as it were. And I am not interested in your personal details... However a serious discussion about finance requires something more current than Black Scholes 1973... Nancy
