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.

A co-worker, who is also crazy like you, is watching the NKOTB on the Today show website.
Just so you know.

Hooray VW! That's awesome.
Nora - good news!
Laga - what a jerk. I'm with sparky though, check those cards. and maybe pull a credit check, if she can, just so she knows that nothing else is out there in her name.

There. I feel much better.
I think we all do.
{{Jessica, DH & Dylan}} Feel better soon sproglet. Our household joins you in the sick today, if that is any consolation. My friend who wrote the working-mom article in the Post a few days ago just got a nudge that she should write a sick-at home piece to go with it.
ok. making jello now.

This whole "shared authority" thing is bogus. Unless you are sitting on one end of a log and the story teller is sitting on the other end, there are always intermediaries who shape the story and edit the writing. Does Maxwell Perkins' involvement mean that Fitzgerald's and Wolfe's books are not literature?

"Shared authority" is an oral history term, not a literature one, just to clarify.

Thankfully, it looks like yesterday's bug was just a 12-hour thing. He's still not eating any solid foods, but at least he's keeping down the formula & pedialyte.
When I talked to our ped on the phone, she said all her patients yesterday had come in with the same symptoms, so there's definitely something going around.
