THANKS so much for shaking our brain to this very important subject matter and post. Your purpose for posting has been effective. I hadn't given this subject matter much thought, lately. Looks like I'll absorb more at this point, than contribute.
You're a fine person and a true FReeper for engaging us in what may be one of the key issues in our life, one many of us tend to procrastinate and put on the back burner.
Thanks for the kind words. There are several reasons I think about it. My parents are in their eighties....and last June, three of my friends lost their parents in one week. I learned then that lists and preplanning were crucial.
Also, in August my mother fell and broke her hip so I learned about disability with elderly folks. I want to share what I know....and learn what you all know.
