Ungh...I hesitate to offer “advice,” never having had to deal with senile parents, but I do understand your concern and your growing frustration. It sounds as if that attorney is sending you on Wild Goose Chases to try and distract you from the fact that he is taking your FiL’s money, along with everyone else.
My suggestion of releasing him to a “PAID” conservator is based on the gut-wrenching feeling I had when I was reading this synopsis, of what I’m sure is a long and detailed narrative that is far too complex for most people to understand unless they have “been there” or have had experience with people who have.
Even though he has a Medal of Honor, this doesn’t give him carte blanche. Period. Go with your heart on this, and see that he is, indeed, given the best care...with someone who has the facility and the manpower to deal with him in the manner that the situation requires.
And don’t feel guilty about it. You didn’t ask for his behavior, and you are not responsible for it. If you have a place in mind, I would contact them post haste and make arrangements. And good luck for your future...a lot of pressure will be taken off ALL of your family, not just you and Mrs. HK. I will be praying for you, and yes, it’s OK, and it doesn’t make you a Bad Guy.
I really cackled about your eggsellent story about the layers of your coop. At least you were a good egg about it all and didn’t end up in hot water with your neighbor! She could have really scrambled things up!
OK. I’ll quit.
Seriesly, I’m going to be praying for your strength and guidance in this thing, and I know that Heavenly Father will sustain you in your efforts to save your FiL from himself.
Evening, Moose07.
I recommend saving it as a WTF.
What? It's a Windows Text File? What were you thinking I meant?
You can’t really find programs that can save a Standard Text File Unicode any more.
Back from our church activity. We also collected a jar of water from the stream behind the church, in aid of a county water quality project. We’ll get some more when we’re out at the Scout camp on Saturday.
Then I got two giant canteloupes at a farm stand, and then some pink drink and pretzels, plus various BOGOs, at Harris Teeter. They’ve have job openings: I will tell Tom the Son when he returns.
Then I stopped at the auto parts store and got a new bulb for the turn signal. I was going to put it in, and then tell all of you so you could be impressed, but I can’t find the right kind of screwdriver-like-thingie.
Maybe your hens want you to introduce a rooster!
I’m going to scan the page(s) I found today and file them, but I am also going to (tediously) type them in OpenOffice.org to make sure that they are available in the future, on demand.
What good is a computer if I can’t make it do what it needs to do in order for me to function as a human person? I mean, *sheesh*
Why didn’t I think about that?
(Probably because I’m kinda not looking at/for roosters these days.)

Set a lantern out in the yard, after a few days of eating the bugs it attract (and probably the longer ‘daylight’) they’ll start laying again.
You can read the first draft of the first seven chapters of LONELY SPACE in one location:

FYI: I’m impressed that you were willing to put the blub in! Way to GO! If you had asked at the auto parts store, they would have put it in for you. No charge.
Cantaloupe sounds so good. I wish I knew of a farm stand locally. Haha. I would probably have to drive to Moapa (on the Rez) for that. But it would also be a good drive. If I had A/C... :o|
See, Nully’s a much nicer person than I am.
I’d have shown them one of the hens from the freezer and ask them which future they prefer.
I’m doing fine now that I have pink wine, diet 7-up, and pretzels. After a little more Restorative, I’ll cut up one of the melons.
Sometimes those busses really crowd the rest stops (that’s what we call them on the New York Thruway). I’ve been known to holler that I saw a wallet dropped in the parking lot to thin the crowd a bit so I could order.
One of the other customers offered to do it, since the guy he was with had a complicated issue involving a battery charger ... but I had five kids and some frozen food in the van, and I figured I could do it myself.
It’s got some kind of alien screws: not flat-head, not Phillips, not Allen wrench ...
Sounds like torx. Not quite allen but you can often drive allen screws with a torx driver (although not vice-versa).
of screwdriver-like-thingie.
Now there is a minefield.....the right screwdriver-like-thingie.
Looking at the array of thingie heads available you would think they would have made up their minds by now on the final design.
That's true. I tried the Allen wrenches.
If DP can't find the correct thingie, I'll take it back to the auto parts shop tomorrow and bat my eyelashes at them, babbling inanely about thingies.
