I always hate turning my heater on first thing each year too because of the burn smell but like Jeanie I chalk it up to burning the dust off! Stinky but necessary. As for Mom, I think I already said that I wasn't in favor of a feeding tube and I'm sticking with that. I realize I can be out voted if and one when my vote is asked for but that will be it. Does it all make me sick??? YES!! But I truly believe that it's loving her enough to let her go with all the dignity she has left instead of having her stay alive for me to just watch her with tubes. On a different note, I'm game for a sleep over! Just tell me when and where and me and jams will show up!! Lol Love to you all, Judy
