I can write backwards. Larry always got a big kick out this useless talent of mine.

Boring old me. I have no superstitions. Lynn

This is so very sad. Please extend my condolences to the family. Lynn

I'm so sorry to hear your mom passed away. My sincere condolences to you and your family. Lynn

I'm so sad to hear of Carole's passing. She personified dignity and grace. Her wisdom will not be forgotten. Carole took a piece of my heart with her. Lynn

Probably a plain cake doughnut. Not too complicated or overly sweet. What you see is what you get. LOL

Happy Birthday, Tina!! Lynn

Hi, Annie. Welcome to the site. I'm glad you've taken a look around to see all the good information and success stories here. Yes, it's very difficult waiting for the diagnosis. But once a treatment plan is in place and you know how you are going to fight, the emotions will even out a bit. The waiting and wondering is so hard. I'm sure your family understands why you can't be there as often as you want to be. We're here to help you through this. Let us know when you get more information. We have many people who will be able to answer any questions you might have. And we also understand the need to vent once in awhile, too. Lynn

fingers, toes, arms, legs and eyeballs. Love ya, Sis!

Kerri, I'm so sad to hear of the passing of your beautiful mother. My deepest condolences to you and your dad. Lynn

Prayers going up for you, Tamara and her dad. Lynn

I'm thinking they think they can stonewall me until I drop it. But they have another think coming.

Newest chapter in the Jim Ford, Property Appraiser saga: I called the office yesterday because I have not yet been given an appointment to see Jim Ford, Property Appraiser and because I checked the on-line records to see if my file had been updated. A pleasant woman answers the phone. I'm calling because it looks like my file has not been corrected since my visit on 2-9-09 to address the nastygram you sent me. HAHAHA! Well, it wasn't really a nastygram! Yes, ma'am, it was, but that's another story. Will you please check the records and see if I have my widow's exemption and my granny exemption? The deadline is on March 1st, and time is a'ticking. Yes, you have your widow's exemption, but I can't tell you if you have your granny exemption. "Valuation" handles that part. You'll have to take it up with them. Everything has been received on our end, though. So, when can I find out when "Valuation" has approved my exemption? In August, when you receive your TRIM notice. And what happens if they don't have my exemption recorded? You'll have to take it up with them at that time. OOOOOOK. You've been very helpful. Will you please transfer me to Jim Ford's office? Jim Ford's office. Hello. I spoke with you on 2-10-09 requesting an appointment with Mr. Ford. I have yet to hear back from him. Well, I gave him the message. I don't set his appointments. Well, could you please take another message and tell him that I want an appointment to discuss your procedures regarding the death of a spouse/joint property owner. I don't want to be an anonymous taxpayer in his eyes. I want him to see my face. Yes, ma'am, will do. Ring!! Hello? This is Dawn from Public Relations. Mr. Ford is not available, but I'm calling to discuss your complaint. I have a complaint about the way you revoked my homestead exemption for the simple reason my husband died. Well, ma'am, as a courtesy to the taxpayer, we remove a deceased person's name from the record, which results in you having to update your file. I'm not feeling like you did me a courtesy at all. Could you not have sent me a letter acknowledging my husband's death and the need for me to come in and update my file? Well, I'm actually looking into that, because another taxpayer also wondered why we revoked his exemption. It's a programming issue that I'm working to resolve. But all I can do is make a recommendation. Well, will you keep me apprised of your progress? Because I'm not going to let this go. You can call me anytime, ma'am. Can't you take the initiative to put this in your tickler file to call me periodically and let me know of your progress? Well, yes, I can do that. So, why won't Mr. Ford give me an appointment? I don't know that he won't, ma'am but he's been busy. Well, I want him to see my face. I want an appointment with him. Yes, ma'am. I'll give him your message. March is fast approaching. One month should be long enough to wait for an appointment, right? If I haven't seen Jim Ford, Property Appraiser by March 9, I'm going to the press.

Denise, you really ought to write a book. You'd probably wind up with a best-seller and make a few million dollars. Hope you didn't rip all your hair out. It would take considerably longer for the new do to grow out. Love you, Lady.

Hi Mona. My name is Lynn. I was also 13.5 years younger than my husband. We were also married in May - for 27 years. I'm a Christian, too, so it seems we have much in common. You have already received great advice from Sandra and Ned. I'm sure others will be along shortly to welcome you to our family. We're a friendly and knowledgeable group! If there is anything I can help you with, just send me a PM.
