Hate having to make the tough decisions. This week my wife and I were given the task of signing off on a decision that for anyone is hard. Please think of your loved ones and have a living will and testament and also talk to them letting them know what you want when life decisions are needed.
I went through that with my mother. Fortunately, we were able to get her to fill out the living will, living trust, power of attorney and all of that before she got to the point where the doctors looked to me for answers to how she would be cared for.
Because she had a DNR and living will, I was able to tell the doctors that she already made those decisions. One doctor asked me if I was sure. I told him my mother is the type of person that she'd come back from the dead to beat my a$$. So yup, I'm pretty sure.
When she passed away, the legal stuff was pretty clear cut, as we had taken care of it before she died. As was said, if your folks are getting up there, take the time to sit down with them to go over everything. It sucks to do it, but it needs to be done to protect them and the family's rights.
In Fumo Pax Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
Friend of mine works nights, got ready for bed today, and died. Massive heart attack. 54 years old.

So sorry to read this Amos! I lost a co-worker last year whose heart gave out at age 39. I'll be praying for you and for your friend's family.

...When people come to your complimentary event... eat your free food... take in the information you provide at no charge... schedule an appointment and invite you to their home... receive the detailed report that you spend hours putting together for them... ask for a few days to consider your recommendations... then call and leave a voicemail the day of the follow-up appointment to tell you they decided to do business somewhere else!

I was just going to say photobucket... Puff_Dougie you have a yucky thing to deal with... and it sounds like you have a lot of experience with this too... yuck.

Fortunately, it doesn't happen all that often... but when it does... Graaaaahhhh!!!

I like it a lot better than photobucket.
Bless you my son. Can I have your addy..?
Glad you like it. I ditched photobucket a while ago and haven't looked back.
Imgur is much easier to use IMO and rarely goes "down" like photobucket always does.
There are "official" apps for both android and ios devices too.
However, I prefer the 3rd-party app for iOS, called "PicUp". Works great.

What's the difference between the two Johnny?
They both do the same thing basically......imgur doesn't require you to have an account though. And I like the interface of imgur better, I think it's easier to use
Oh, something I seriously hate...my favorite pair of jeans, 5 years old or so, just ripped. Got 'em for < $25, but they cost $50 now and are styled slightly different.

I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot. I will smoke anything, though.

I appreciate you thinking of me though :-)

Be careful that you don't give yourself a stroke with all that pent up frustration.

...especially while you're trying to have a snowball fight with your kids.
Wait, maybe this should go in that other thread?
