No, I’m not an attorney, but one of my daughters is. So from time to time we end up here. Of course, we do. Don’t get all huffy. She’s a Tax Attorney. So sometimes those little tax issues turn into huge estate issues and that gets pretty messy. I’m one of my daughter’s paralegals, meter feeder, note taker, note giver, critiquer, reviewer, listener, observer, driver, […]
Self Medication

Even so, my 5 children think I’m really smart (don’t yours) and I know everything. However, this place is for you, us. I want you to feel comfortable with your life and write comments on the lighter side, […]
Making & Sewing Straps
MAKING & SEWING STRAPS Repair of cold food carrier bag While stuffing this AT&T bag with as much as I could, the attached straps ripped right off. Cheap thing. I need that bag.
