However, it’s difficult to think that way when you may have been promised something for your work, yet find the patient’s will states otherwise…a will made years before and never changed…or never was made at all.  Or you find that medical and other bills consumed anything that was left. At the Caregivingblog.com I found an interesting post on this topic, Waiting for the Caregiver’s Reward, with an amusing twist (to us who aren’t involved, but probably not for heirs) about “The Lesson of Leona’s Dog” and the fact that Leona Helmsley ...

(Courtesy of OwellianNation)You know, there should be some political blowback for this. The 74-year-old retired mathematician who is fighting Kensington officials over his right to sell buttons urging President Bush's impeachment was arrested yesterday at a farmers market and charged with trespassing.Alan McConnell, who had been selling his "Impeach Him" buttons at the Howard Avenue market for about a half-hour without a permit, lay down on the pavement after Montgomery County police asked him to come with them. After McConnell failed to respond to a request that he "please stand up," four officers each grabbed one of his limbs and carried him to the front seat of a squad car.Now, many have dismissed this as a non-issue from a common-sense viewpoint. These people wer...

Komen walk in Central Park. She didn't like the over-sized, over-advertised shirts passed out to the masses, so she designed her own. Notice the songbird stripe on the right side of the shirt? This seamstress renovated the piece to create visual balance for women who have lost a breast and wish to forgo mastectomy and prostheses.Jacqueline, who has named her clothing line Rhea Belle, had a right-side mastectomy in January 2004. She knew she would leave her body as is, but her existing wardrobe didn't "fit" her new shape. When she realized she could either accept her changed architecture or camouflage it, she ch...
