    Have you ever spoken a eulogy?

    In high school, I read the poem The Unknown Citizen by W. H. Auden. I was struck by how much it was about my father. So, at his funeral Mass in 2014 I asked the priest to be allowed to read my version of the poem, with apologies to W. H. Auden. I did not change much to make it fit my father.

    Always feeling tired, waking up tired.......

    First step, get him out in the sun, even when it is cloudy outside, also immediate Vitamin D supplements. You said he is deficient in Vitamin D. Most likely a boost in Vitamin D will solve most of his problems. If that does not work, then look for other causes.

    Home inspector flagged multiple neutrals on single lug in breaker panel

    Not unless they are a two pole breaker. Some Square D breakers may be designed to allow to wires, but it is NOT up to code. Everyone should have a current copy of Wiring Simplified if they are going to mess with electricity.

    Home inspector flagged multiple neutrals on single lug in breaker panel

    Definitely a code violation. Dumb, but not as dangerous as double tapping a breaker. You may have a problem with neutral wires being too short to connect to the buss. This indicates whoever wired it did not do a good job. It should not have passed inspection a long time ago. Correcting it...

    What do you have in your emergency Food supplies?

    Three cans of Nalleys chili, two cans of green beans, a can of chicken noodle soup and a jar of instant coffee. No, I am not going to post something like that on a public site monitored by the FBI. Yes, I am paranoid. The question is, am a paranoid enough?

    Smart Meter - Utility spam, do they really think anyone cares?

    About 15 years ago I needed to meter pulled to replace siding. I had the power company do it. They did not charge for it. They were very nice about it.

    Why/When would you need a trust over a will

    I would prefer to leave that to an attorney. However, for estate and tax purposes, a revocable, or living, trust is the only way to go. That does not set up a trust for the irresponsible beneficiary, it only provides the that trust to be set up. Again, better that an attorney answer.

    Why/When would you need a trust over a will

    I am a certified public accountant. I should have said advising rather than commenting.

    Why/When would you need a trust over a will

    There is a LOT of bad/false advice in this thread. Those who are not attorneys or CPAs should not be commenting. Also, many are confusing a revocable trust with a grantor trust.

    Anyone know of high-mileage Teslas? (1st or 2nd hand)

    I think around 2018. The Air Force moved him to Edwards and he and his wife bought a house in Tehachapi. He has a pretty good commute. When he took separation he went to work for a civilian contractor so he still has the same commute.

    Mistaken identity on a plane

    You are looking down in the green part of the state. Prices are better up here in the desert. However, you are not going to find large lots (over an acre) and be served by septic. You can find larger lots in Golden Valley where they do have water service. Septic works fine, if you don't dump...

    Crazy dealer add on

    Not gonna happen. The doc fee is standard across the industry. The states allow it as not subject to sales tax, but the dealership has to charge the same document fee on all sales. Still, you can tell the dealership they need to reduce the price by that much and see where it goes. The fact...

    Do you ever do "velocity Banking"?

    Amusing, in a somewhat unfunny way. On Monday my bank got robbed by an idiot whose partner waited outside in the pickup. They got a couple of miles before being stopped behind the Napa where the robber got shot to pieces by police when he pulled a gun. One officer was slightly wounded. The...
