==================
Hi Michael,

 RH> No surprise there. Maybe you need to rent a PO box somewhere for
 RH> things like that.

 ML> That's been thought of, sometimes favorably, but not enough so
 ML> I've gone out and done that. Some of the things sent to me won't
 ML> go to a box - the communications from the probate department
 ML> for example, and  anyhow there's no post office within an
 ML> hour of here (by public trans). I'm not certain I want to deal
 ML> with a month's worth of mail without a car.

Sounds like you may need to figure out a combination of locations to get
your mail at. Some things at the house, some at some other secure
location. I've read about places that rent mail boxes but don't recall
specifics; it may be worth checking into so certain things don't go
astray. Do you keep a box or something at the house so your brother can
drop your mail into as it comes in?


 RH> We're watching our pennies a bit closer now as the only income is
 RH> Steve's retirement and disability. Still able to make bills but don't
 RH> want to blow all our money.

 ML> See, I figure on blowing most of it before I die. If I have
 ML> just enough to make debts (most of them not legally enforceable
 ML> against an estate anyway, but I don't particularly care to
 ML> cheat even the bank) when I peg out, that'll be perfect.

We're probably not going to ever have an abundance of funding either.
Paying the bills, having a bit to travel out to see grandkids, having a
meal at a nice place every so often............................


 ML> encountered such things there. I'm not going again until June, when
 ML> Lilli and I will be visiting friends in Nuremberg, but I'll make an
 ML> effort to seek them out then. I'm willing to bet, though, that any
 ML> fried batter or dough product there won't look like funnel cakes
 ML> (or churros).
 RH> So, how was it?

 ML> I meant June '15!

OK, fo some reason I thought this was one of the older messages. Staying
stateside pretty much until that trip or do you have other travel plans?


 ML> An amusing dog, she is. She's not long for this world, I'm afraid.
 RH> Nobody/nothing lasts forever (except marischino cherries). My dad is
 RH> basically in hospice at home care.

 ML> I hope that he's at least comfortable.

Once the pain meds kick in, yes. When they've worn off, no. He did
appreciate our cooking for him.


 ML> Basic Vegetable Stock
 ML> cat: Singapore, ingredient
 ML> yield: 7 L

I've got some veggie "scrap" bags in the freezer ready to make into
stock. Probably should do that, now that our summer travels are over but
will wait until after I defrost & inventory the big freezer. That may
happen later this week.
