And of course -- a familiar American western version:

The melody is like the British traditional song. Cab Calloway's St. James Infirmary has similar words, but the poor "rake" in his version is a woman. I think I like Cab Calloway's best, although I grew up singing Streets of Laredo along with lots of other western songs.

Which is believed to have come from this old British ballad. This isn't a good version, but you can hear the words clearly

Confused and alone -- we called them date beetles in Palm Springs, but they are just giant flying roaches. I could handle scorpions and vinegaroons, but I hated those damn giant roaches. My husband said he learned to recognize the particular scream that meant he needed to come running with his shoe in his hand.

Your #4 about telling JW relatives the truth is my favorite. I have come to appreciate direct communication, honesty and authenticity. I've come to appreciate it when someone tells me "like it is," and I'm always working on being more direct myself.
That's what I like about your threads, beyond the information and education, it's that you are authentic in all you say -- that appeals to me.

I Want Your Thoughts On This: A 80 Year Old Man Lost His Wife....
by minimus inand within a month, he has been seeing a 69 year old woman who lived upstairs from him.
.
the wife has been sick for a year and she passed away in october.. now, the 80 year old man is like a teenager with this woman, making out in public places with this woman and introducing her to family and friends as his new girlfriend that he "loves".. the father's family thinks this is weird and are concerned about it.. any thoughts?

What kind of trust? Sounds as though you need to consult a lawyer for advice. Trusts can be complicated. Although I don't see what the trust has to do with the blood issue -- some sort of medical power of attorney?
