It is upsetting to read about your brother's children. It is the children who will bear the legacy of his irresponsibility. We don't have a lot of pictures of us as children, because we didn't have a camera.

Thank you, @esther-emmanuel!

You make me very happy with that thought. That's why I work at this community. It is a place where people can express themselves, relieve tension. That's the purpose of art. You took a terrible event,

We recently set up a trust, so she is pretty protected anyway That's the point. My husband handles the checkbook because when I tried a made a mess of it. But we both know where the money is and we are

I never realized how close to the edge you lived. I remember those times when I found a dime in the couch cushions and felt like I had struck gold OMG...this is a scene from my life :) Amazing. All across

Many years ago I worked with a man who noticed had a distinctive, almost fruity smell. I didn't work with him often, but always he had that smell. He died quite suddenly from diabetes. I realized then

I've never used a travel agent. I am so unsophisticated, and also a bit controlling. If I ever think I can put up with the sardine seats on airplanes and the delays at airports I might try that. It is

Sounds like a nightmare to me. I believe my international travel days are over. This whole scenario convinces me that this is true--definitely over. I am a simple person. When I traveled in the past I
