Thanks Dej and Cindy for your bill paying suggestions. I do have a couple automatically deducted from my ckg.acct, but I was always leary about paying on the web. But your suggestions sure make the whole process sound simpler than writing out a dozen or more checks! I believe my DIL pays their's that way, so she would make a good candidate to show me the ropes! I love her like my own daughter!

Yep AMN, the A of GG I have is the one with Megan Follows. She's terrific! I can identify with her being called "carrots" -- when my kids were little they had to draw pictures of their parents and sure enough, my hair was always "orange"! Now that the gray has snuck in there, I tone it down with dark blonde, but by the time the six weeks are up, it's looking kind of carroty again!

I recently found an article on the Psych Central Newsletter, "Chronic Pain Drains the Brain". Just re-read it and think that's another strike against my "mental prowess" these days. Dealing with pain 24/7 eventually destroys some of the neurons in the brain due to so much activity -- they never shut off like a person's without chronic pain. This leads to sleep problems, depression, difficulty making decisions and focusing. Hmmmmm......sounds kind of familiar!!

Dej -- hope you got through the day with your "company". I was watching the Indy 500 and was hoping to watch the NASCAR race tonight, but it's postponed until tomorrow. That's good since it'll give me something to do then!

This is such a "fickle" disease. It's getting more and more difficult going through the whole process alone, but the thoughts of having other people here, would drive me bananas!!!!

Thanks again guys.....I'll definitely check it out!
