You are so right. My mother had dementia and my sister tried to deal with these problems and gave up and passed it on to me. I spend almost a year fighting with banks trying to get money for nursing home care. I had a general power of attorney and was told by several banks that they legally did not have to accept it. The only legally binding thing would be a court order from the state the bank was in. I spent hundreds of hours fighting this. Finally the nursing home told me they were going to take me to court to take financial control of my mother's affairs. I was subpoenaed and went to court. The judge asked me if I wanted to fight this and I told him not in a 1000 years I was so over fighting to get control of her finances to pay her bills. I retained rights over medical care and the nursing home did the financial parts with a court order. They still spent 6 months getting everything all straightened out. People who have never done anything like this are so clueless about how hard it is and the thousands of dollars required.

Comment Re:As a Former Member of the Military... (Score 0, Flamebait) 133

..can I please ask that anyone who is seriously thinking of turning over classified military secrets NOT do it? While you may sympathize with another side and you may not particularly like our Military or Administration (whichever Party is in power at that time), it's just not worth it. At best your always looking over your shoulder wondering if you will every get arrested. At worst you go away for a bunch of years and have a Felony conviction on your record. So if you don't like what our side is doing and your employed in that field, please do yourself a favor and just quit that job, k?

I totally agree. As retired military member who once held a TS SCI clearance I am well aware of the damage that can be done releasing random reports. In a prior life I was an intelligence analyst that would look for random pieces of information from various compromised sources to achieve an overall big picture of the situation. We are not the only people in the world to do this. If something is marked NOFORN there is a very specific reason to not release it. Maybe if the current administration hired people for their abilities rather then sexual preference or pronouns this would not happen.

Having been a nurse for many years it is easy to work 2 full time jobs. Nurses generally work 12 hour shifts x3 days a week for a total of 72 hours. So 2 full time jobs require 6 days a week. I did this for years but now I limit my work week to no more then 60 hours almost 2 full time nursing jobs.
