We've already talked about changes, and begun instituting them. So far, so good... except for the near miss of him changing our insurance carrier. Seems brokers of anything are getting much more strident in their coercions. The one thing I've noticed (besides the stridency) between them and scammers is telling the mark NOT to involve the spouse. When legit businesses start use the scammers methods, we're all at risk!

Since hubby has had his last three doctors retire on him shortly after joining them, I'm now trying to convince him to use MY long-time doc. I trust her, I know her, and through the decades we've built up a decent relationship. It'll mean more trips to the "big city" than I'd be comfortable with, but with him in the passenger seat, it'll make the trip a little less white-knuckled.

Thanks for the good energy... and back to you, as well. Thanks for being there!
