Nora, I'm so glad that things are getting better in the handling of stuff with Tom's mom. ~~ma for youse guys~~
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Seriously, the objection to shared authority only holds if you assume that a single author is any kind of requirement for literature, which is a gigantic pile of steaming poo to begin with. But that's definitely not the kind of neener, neener you can say in a paper.

And I suppose in the final paper is the wrong place to raise, "But hey, tht doesn't really make any sense anyway!" You have to pretend it makes sense but is taken care of, I guess.
Also, vw, sounds like your dad has a lot in common with Dr. Q.

Hee! I love you guys.

That's very true! I see him every once in a while on campus, and he remembers me. He only met me once and talked to me on the phone once! It cracks me up.

Hell, I'm just relieved I got it and vw didn't have to come back with something like "MM, it's sweet of you to try and all, but I think you need a CAT scan."

It actually was really sweet of you to try, and I appreciate it greatly. You may still need a CAT scan, but not because of your interpretation of my writing.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Nora, I hate to sound like a wet blanket when the news sounds so encouraging. But I hope you're being careful about whose names are on the bank accounts. Being on an account as co-owner has been known to lead to complications, and there are ways to get signature authority without being a co-owner.

Tom's parents are still married, and his dad is joint on one of her accounts anyway; the sticky wicket was getting joint accountancy on the offshoot account where the majority of her money is (which the bank took upon themselves to transfer without her permission).
We do not want anything to do with the handling of her money, but as they are still legally married, Tom's dad has the easiest route to get stuff moving.
