Hee, and you're getting an avelanche of replies while the boys sleep and I have a connection...
Verizon's been very good to us and we've stuck with them for a good long while, so they do well by us in return, so far.
Yeah... I'm very impressed by our church, and the lady in there that really organized us all so that we could help out in little bits. The lady with cancer is really happy to have all the help as she has a husband with Alzheimer's and a son with brain problems. So having some help on top of all that is really useful for her, as she's so used to taking care of her guys.
It's good to have the safty net, too, in a way. The parents in the church know that they have each other to fall back on when bad things happen. One of the husbands just had a stroke, so we've been doing dinners, various parents have helped out with babysitting so the Mom can have time at the hospital with the Dad. It's one of those things where it could have happened to any of us, so it's useful to have the net when most of us don't have family here...
... so it's selfish in a way, but it's also... I dunno... when it's pretty clear it could happen to any of us, it's easier to pitch in while we're still 'clear' of it, in a way.
