  My dub sister ( bipolar, ocd, parasite) is on social security disability. She has had 4 husbands. (I'll refer to them by number). #3 and #4 died while married to her. Then #2 died recently in another state. She says she is going to apply to get widow benefits now based on # 2's earnings, as it will be more than what she gets now. Does anyone know if that is possible? She really knows how to work the system. I'll never understand how someone with mental illness can be so diliberately calculating.

  Thanks. Mostly venting.

  For Your Eyes Only

  this is not jw related but will help you read the 'posts' if you are getting a little older and your eyesight isn't what it used to be.

  if you press the 'ctrl' key on your keyboard and rotate the little wheel on your mouse, it will enlarge the print on your computor screen.

  i didn't know that before and found out by accident.

  How do I do it with a laptop without a mouse (just that little pad thing that you use your finger on)? That sounds like a good thing for me--got my first bifocals recently....Nancy

  Aude:

  Sorry to hear about your knee, too. ICE ICE ICE ICE and lots of hugs helps with knees.

  Funny you said 'dependency' because it's so easy to be the 'codependent' to all these needy folks. I guess the trick is to be aloof enough to do the work well without allowing life-sucking. It works at the ER with strangers, but that's a fine line with family. My older brother is coming in a couple weeks to visit and 'help' and that will be a great relief. You have to have backup.

  Do you have anyone helping you?

  Thanks for responding! It's1:30 a.m. and I'm stuck wide awake again....sleeping well would improve things, I'm sure.

  Hi! I'm just having a little 'pity party' for me tonight and thought surely there are others here who are caring for invalid family members daily.

  I am an RN (day shift). Then I come home to work: my husband is not very mobile due to a series of medical issues,...well, he fell Thursday and broke his right leg. I have elderly parents with multiple health issues. They live about 8 miles from me. Heck, even my pets are old and on drugs!

  Sometimes the life just gets sucked out of me.

  Anyone else relate? What do you do to recharge? I play on this computer, pet the dog, work in my yard, and the ultimate--go fishing.

  Sass, I echo the sentiments of those preceding me. Her letter is a series of cheap shots. Your reply is priceless. You have such class and honor in your response! Hugs and cheers from Indiana, USA.
