But my just-finished trip was to see my 91-year-old aunt in South Texas. She called last Saturday and asked me to come. I knew she meant it for a last visit, so I was on a plane the next day. I stayed until Friday. She's not actually that close, but she's definitely "ready". All I could do was tell her that "it was all right". That we loved her and would miss her terribly, but that it was okay. It's so DAMNED hard! She's just miserable the way things are right now, although still the same wonderful lady she's always been. Obviously, much like your mom. Oh, dear......Mary Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14986934534719487604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1515401111310182067.post-60307908390059029132011-04-30T08:34:21.645-07:002011-04-30T08:34:21.645-07:00Disaster!

I've reported it to Southwest, and have notified Amazon so they can "deactivate" the device until it's returned to me. Oh, dear, what will I do if it's gone forever. I know I won't lose my books, but I'll have to get something new. Trauma!!!!<br /><br />Bev, be very careful with your "stuff" on your upcoming trip. At least I didn't lose mine in Cambodia.Mary Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14986934534719487604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1515401111310182067.post-54828406587928459252011-04-27T06:28:57.290-07:002011-04-27T06:28:57.290-07:00No notebook.

Some of us have suffered through the "I can't see" business already, and I can imagine it happening more and more. Sometimes manufacturers don't think things through.<br /><br />Remember when they were selling portable TVs with 10-inch screens? Would you want one? Dedicated rockers need to remember, they will also have to be able to read the closed captions!Harriethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17746992961482262424noreply@blogger.com
