Well, I left work this morning because I still have a cold and was coughing. Hopefully, the coughing will stop very soon.

Feel better sooner DR George, and vibes your cough doesn't last as long as mine has.

My eBook library hasn't sent me books in ages, in fact I had to purchase the last 4 books I have read. Yesterday I began a 5th purchased book. By bedtime 2 and come in from the library and 2 more arrived today. The advantage of being sick is I did get through the first half of my current book. I also lost 2 pounds but suspect those will return tomorrow since I could eat again today.

I like instances of serendipity. The day before I was to leave for Florida, I got a message from an old friend whom I hadn't seen in 15 years. She had moved to North Carolina and we sort of lost touch. She had gotten on Facebook in November or so, but she didn't seem to get the knack of it, so she didn't understand how the messages worked. Anyway, she had moved back to Florida and was now living 30 minutes away from where I would be visiting. We got together for lunch. It rained, but we had a great time.

DR JohnG, that's fantastic!

Then my friend Carol, who took the picture and patiently listened while Ann and I caught up on everybody and everything, and I drove to a Walgreens to get one of Carol's prescriptions. That's when her car battery died in the middle of the drive-thru lane and we had to wait an hour for AAA to show up. The guy took less than a minute to charge the battery, but he told us it was the car's original (from 2005) and should be replaced immediately.

So, then we hiked it over to Walmart for a new battery and to give me a chance to freak out over that store. Ugh.

But they replaced the battery quickly and the car is running again.

DR GINNY sometimes Medicaid will reimburse people doing such services.....you might check.

Really, reimburse a family member?

A lot of relatives are hired and paid by Medicare to be caregivers.

I didn't know that & I think it is great that they are.

Well, my Mekeel search was a lot of circles. The Essex Country Police gave me the run around to the New Jersey Dept. of Corrections website, which was no help, and the Essex Country Prosecutor's Office gave not much of a big goddam either, directing me back to the NJ DoC website!

At this point, I'm tired of the afternoon runaround. Perhaps I'll try again down the pike.

This morning the Vixter and I took my Mom's car to the body shop we were pleasantly surprised to get an estimate of about $1800 we were expecting to hear upwards of $3000

Thank you DR Singdaw. My stomach is a little tender after eating but otherwise I'm ok.

I think so, too. Lost souls need help. Glad you're trying to reach out to him.

And I've been glad to see Cillaliz offering some advice on how to do this.
