Sure, it'd be nice to have escape from that--but somehow just plunging in and dealing is healthy.

I imagine you feeling life and death quite literally right now.<BR/><BR/>Hope you had safe travels and things go smoothly. My mom and aunt recently went through "things" at my grandmother's house. It takes a lot of time to sort through so many years. <BR/><BR/>My mom was so exhausted that she has now started going through her stuff and organizing it so that when she passes on (morbid I know!) it will not be as complicated for my brother & I. <BR/><BR/>I personally enjoyed going through my grandmother's things, because I felt like I got to know her even more. But then again, I wasn't responsible for deciding what to do with all that stuff...that is the hard part.FENICLEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03933260775407897696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294578188079385391.post-82276980541395971472008-02-18T09:22:00.000-05:002008-02-18T09:22:00.000-05:00What Furiousball said...I can't help but wonder if...What Furiousball said...<BR/><BR/>I can't help but wonder if going cold turkey from the internet will get you totally over your addiction.<BR/><BR/>Damn, I just noticed Furiousball's avatar blinks and moves.

Especially since both were veterans. I think it took almost two years to finally close down the bank accounts, finalize the IRS stuff, and sort out the veterans benefits.
