Just a little quickie answer, because I got some issues going on that deal with my _ahem_ condition… so I am in and out of here like real fast. I’ll explain at length when I can. Just know for now that my meds have been ALL wrong! First off, it’s okay to feel the way you do (pro and con, I mean). You know why? Because I know that y’all care about me, and you wouldn’t be writing that stuff if you didn’t. “I may be crazy, but I’m not stupid”. 😉 I’ll write more when I can. To all my “mutha” kids (all of you). Happy Mom’s Day Sunday, okay? Bethie? Thanks for tlaking to Dondra and for the phone calls. Gotta run. Love Bill ---

Hello **Quasi**! I’ve just now seen this thread. (I think I may have mentioned the first half of the month is incrediby busy for me.) Congratulations! All the best to you both! Just don’t let her lure you near the Time Holes with chocolate cake at the Quackadero! 😛 ---

Congratulations, Quasi. That’s a heartwarming story. It’s good that you won’t be alone in the coming years. ---

We don’t have a lot of time to send out “proper” invitations or do a lot of pre-planning, but of _course_ any of my “close-by” and/or “close-heart” - friends from our Community are more than cordially invited. It’s just going to be a small (shotgun-less) wedding in a quiet little country church called “New Hope”. What a proper-fitting title, huh? 🙂 It would just knock me to the moon if we could have **any** of you here! Y’all are my **kids** , Y’all are my **friends** , Y’all are my **Protector-Angels** , and Y’all are my **Brothers and Sisters**. Without naming names, there are _several_ Dopers I hope can make this event, and **she** know who\*\* she \*\*are and others! Anyway, thanks for wishing us well. I promise you won’t miss my presence here, if that’s okay? Gratefully Bill ---

> [@Oakminster](#): > > Quasi—I don’t really post here anymore, but I happened to be browsing today, and this jumped out at me. Not to be a wet blanket or anything, but for a person to go from being a non-player in your life to being a fiance with full power of attorney vitually overnight makes my spider-lawyer-sense go apeshit. Maybe she’s a fine human being with only your best interest at heart. Maybe she’s a leech sucking the last bit of blood from a dying man. I don’t know and can’t tell. A general POA is a very dangerous thing. It could be used to empty your bank accounts, dispose of your property, and otherwise mess you up. I don’t know this woman. I do know there are plenty of people out there that would not hesitate to take advantage of the situation. > > Could be I’m just a cynical old lawyer borrowing trouble. Hell, I hope I am. But better safe than sorry. Think this one through carefully…and with the head where your eyes and nose are…not the other one. Was my first thought too. Don’t know what your financial situation is but if you have much of an estate you need to be very careful. ---

Thank you, **CaveMike**. Ya know? I was just thinking if any of y’all who live within Georgia (or _anyone_ for that matter) would like to attend, you’re cordially invited, of course, and Dondra and I would **LOVE** it. Just send me an e-mail for details and a map. Thanks Quasi ---

Well, Congrats to YOU! Best Wishes to you and your first-ex-new bride. 🙂 Count me in the cynical camp. A marriage is like a business partnership but with stupid emotions that get in the way of commmon sense. Please tread carefully, my friend. If your meds have been wrong, your emotions have been high, you may be in a vulnerable place in your life, whatever it may be, just err on the side of caution. ---

> [@Rigamarole](#): > > Was my first thought too. Don’t know what your financial situation is but if you have much of an estate you need to be very careful. I know, and thanks for your concern. D & I have been best friends ever since our divorce, and when they were still alive my parents still loved her and she was welcome at their house anytime. She is a powerful caretaker in her own family, she is trusted and we share a son and 2 grandkids. I own no property and my only valuables are my savings, my guitars and my drums. Believe me, Kiddos: When I die (“and when I’m gone”), she stands to gain absolutely nothing except my life insurance. We have loved each other ever since the 70’s, and I divorced HER, not the other way around. It was MY mistake, y’all. You would have to know her as I do, but believe me, I’m in very good and caring hands. I am also very fortunate. Thanks Bill ---

Matthew, thanks so much for the kind words and congrats. I am very fortunate to have so many friends (even though I have only ever met a few in person), and I know to treasure that. I appreciate your thinking of me/us! Bill ---
