Don't get me started on the sad and depressing! We all can identify with that with Mom and Dad and Randall. I can identify with that about the photos! I NEARLY did the same thing. I was a few photos from the end of the scanning when I hit the finish and end button! I thought I'd lost them all, but one of the workers came over and was able to retrieve (sp?) them! I cannot imagine just losing them! Yucky-poo! Don't worry about the pics. I did mine the Sat. after you went home---still too numb to let anything make a huge dent in my brain. That was my saving grace on them. I have mine ready to mail---finally! Little Bill was going to make me copies of the DVD's when he had to go for chemo because his cancer's returned! Another Yucky-poo! He got them back to me about a week or two ago. I've just got to distribute them now! Hang in there Jamie. I know that life with two boys still at home + all your duties + the stress of having a husband in the military in Jerry's capacity + life itself is tough. I've said many times: getting older is NOT for the weak! You better be pretty dern strong to take it! As for the money, there's a new opinion from DHS that may affect us. He said that you have to wait until you are broke and then apply---as in we can't pay her bill when it comes due in Sept. I asked, too, about her other bills! It's all just red-tape and back-talking stuff. I finally told him (Chad) that he made my head hurt. He does because it's never the same thing twice + he's thinking on his feet and keeps changing what we need to do. I want ONE answer and I'm sticking to it stuff! We'll see. He said for none of us to spend any of the money because we may have to give it back and redo it, etc. I'm thinking this will never be straightened out. We'll see. It will have to be eventually because there's only so much money that could be used---then that will be it! I'm just not going to try to worry about it. When it's all gone, it's all gone. That will be the bottom line. I HOPE to know more after Sept 1---I doubt it, but a girl can hope! LOL! Love you Jamie. Love you all, Jeanie
