Same thing happens on a newsgroup I frequent. It's rfc and the poster

Reminds me of this one

" The Sailing Ship - Charles Henry Brent (1862-1929)

What is dying?
I am standing on the seashore.
A ship sails to the morning breeze and starts for the ocean.
She is an object and I stand watching her
Till at last she fades from the horizon,
And someone at my side says, ?She is gone!? Gone where?
Gone from my sight, that is all;
She is just as large in the masts, hull and spars as she was when I saw
her,
And just as able to bear her load of living freight to its destination.
The diminished size and total loss of sight is in me, not in her;
And just at the moment when someone at my side says, "She is gone",
There are others who are watching her coming,
And other voices take up a glad shout,
"There she comes" ? and that is dying."

It was read at the funeral of my son's best friend, who crashed his
car on his 18th birthday.

I've gotten quotes of $260 bucks, so I'm pressing my luck.

What luck!!
Lousy, actually,

I hope you are on the mend soon and can enjoy those kits.

No mean feat, Janet. I feel for you.

I know it's not the same, but I was amazed at what was involved with
changing everything over from joint accounts/titles to just my mom's
name. So much paperwork. I do hope you don't have any problems with
the health benefits from Barry's union.

Go ahead and cry whenever you feel like it.

I had some other ideas about cooking for one since you're definitely
going to be busy. "Breakfast" for dinner. Now, I don't know if you
like what I consider breakfast foods. But omelets are quick, easy, you
can add vegetables and all sorts of things to them. Pancakes or french
toast with a side of fruit. Quick, easy, no need to worry about storing
leftovers.

I wish you all the best.

Thanks, Jill. I do like omelets or migas. That's a good idea. I could
cut up veggies when I have the time and keep them in the fridge.

That is a great idea. I wasn't a good cook-for-one person, when
Ron was in Chicago every week, I really didn't make myself 'real'
food all the time. But I did make the occasional omelet and
it's a great meal that keeps me from being hungry for much of the
day.

You're welcome! I'm glad I could offer another suggestion.

I had to look up migas. I've never eaten *authentic* Spanish or
Portuguese cuisine, but the Tex-Mex version (according to Wikipedia)
sounds like something I might enjoy, with a few modifications. This is
their definition of the Tex-Mex version:

"Scrambled eggs mixed with strips of corn tortilla, diced onions, sliced
chile peppers, diced fresh tomatoes, and cheese, plus various spices and
condiments (e.g. salsa or pico de gallo). Migas is typically served with
refried beans, and corn or flour tortillas are used to enfold all of the
ingredients into tacos. In some areas, it may have been traditionally
eaten during Lent.[8] One common variation is to add chorizo to the
standard ingredients."

I'd definitely be adding chorizo, but not the sludgy cheap greasy stuff
I once made the sad mistake (many years ago) of buying.

I do have a nearby Taqueria & Tienda (that's all it says on the sign by
the road). They stock some nice Mexican melting cheeses such as queso
blanco and oaxaca.

Hmmmm. They might have some (non-sludge) chorizo. Problem is, no one
in the place speaks English. I don't speak Spanish.

Thanks! The notion of "breakfast" for dinner just hit me yesterday.
Easy, quick, tasty and really not much cleanup involved.

Here's my bottom line theory on life, Janet. You have endured so darn
many hardships and now the loss of your beloved husband. I would just
go ballistic now and eat any damn thing that sounds good at the time.
If that causes me to die a bit sooner, so be it....at least I ended my
long life on a happy note.

My beloved parents (both about mid-80's now) are lately eating a very
bland and crappy diet on doctor's recommendation. They are old, mostly
just sit around and just watch tv each day...and now they can't even
enjoy their meals. That's not living well to me.

Quality of life means more to me than quantity. I will never give up a
decent meal just to live longer and miss my good food.

I'm Lutheran. Be Lutheran. I learned to respect people when I went to Sunday School every Sunday. I might not believe in a Christian God(I'm Not Sure), but I learned good values; I learned to treat my fellows with respect and got it back. I also learned to kick the shit out of people that wanted to hack on me.

Buy Angela a home Apple computer first so she doesn't need to use a
friends computer far away or late at night and miss out on
assignments.

Even a Chromebook would be fine for assignments because she can use
Google Drive for composition and presentations.

I don't think so. But maybe if we can find a used one. We don't know of
anyone with a Mac. It would only be needed for Word and only if she started
something at school. And only in certain circumstances.

What a ****ed up world you live in. Everything is a problem, nothing
makes sense. Is it *really* like that over there for everyone else as
well?

I have no clue what any of that means. They do Powerpoint presentations and
they were told that they have to do those at the school but I don't know if
that has to do with the type of computer or not.

In elementary they did have some Windows PCs in the classroom but the
laptops were all Macs. Not sure what they had at Jr. High. I don't
remember any issues but they also had to use Noodle Tools. So nothing was
really stored on a computer. It was all online. They also use Noodle Tools
for some things this year, but not everything.

I looked it up and fail to see how that would help. They already use
Noodletools. I think the problems are with Powerpoint and Word.

No. The problem lies between the keyboard and chair.
You don't even need Word, necessarily.

I said she can use Google Drive for word processing and presentations.
You're obviously looking for an excuse to buy her a car and not a
computer. Weird priorities.

That's really very simple, sf. If Angela has a car, Julie doesn't have to
get off her ass to haul her around. That gives her more free time to shop
online and post about what she wouldn't like even though she's never tried
it, what she can't eat because she's "sensitive" to it, and the curiosity
of bread that molds before it's sell by date!

I can only imagine what Julie's husband has to endure. She's the very
antithesis of all the women I know around here. She wouldn't last a
day here without having a breakdown. She wouldn't be tolerated - by
anyone.

Actually, she can't. I did say that she has to use Word. And Powerpoint.
No matter that your Google Drive can do word processing and presentations.
That isn't what they use. And I don't need to buy her a car. I am not
going to get into that here.

I don't have weird priorities at all. Would make no sense at all to buy a
computer for her remaining two years of school that she might only use for a
few things and would never use otherwise. Plus my husband's computer broke
and he has to get a new one. And no, it won't be a Mac.

Two more years of high school and on to college after that. Buy her a
computer, Julie. She could really use one the next 2 years of high
school since YOU said she often needs one but you would have to drive
her over to a friends house to use one.... and most colleges require
one.

So husband (Angela's own father) gets the new computer and won't even
let her use it for school work. You're losing me here, Julie. It just
get stranger and stranger lately.

<begin rant>
When you first became a parent, your MAIN job became to raise your
daughter to be the best that she can possibly be.

You encourage her to become independent and get the most education or
skills that she is capable of even before she gets married and has
kids.

If a future husband dies or just leaves her, she needs skills to cope
well on her own.

I raised my daughter by myself since age 7. I've always stressed high
education and independence. Get your education for a great career.
Once you graduate, I'm fine if you choose to marry, have kids, and be
a stay at home mom. But they need backup options.

A daughter needs to know that if a husband dies, or leaves her, or is
just verbally or physically abusive, she needs the skills to leave the
bum and know she can survive well on her own.

Way too many women these days stay in abusive relationships because
they feel stuck and have no better options.

Screw your husband and his new necessary computer. Buy it and give it
to Angela or at least have him let her use it for 2 more years of high
school.
