 TexKan - Habitat for Humanity may well be helping your sister this weekend. They may be able to put you in touch with an organization that could help her by laying the carpet for her. The Email would be yahna.gibson@habitatkc.org. I don't know if they would lay the carpet for her, but they might be able to suggest an organization that might. Good luck! If I could do it, I'd go do it for her. I just hate to see the elderly on a fixed income unable to keep their houses because they can't do all the work themselves. Sad when family is so far away and none of them seem to care to make a difference. Let us know how this turns out!

| KC - I certainly will email them - thanks so much! We have even suggested a reverse mortage on her home - at this point seems her kids don't want it (or her for long periods) and personally she deserves better. She should enjoy the time and money she has in the house - rather than to sulk over her "do nothing" kids. I appreciate your heart felt offer - but we need to work "in the system" so we know where to go and how to help her with those things we can't seem to get there to do it for her. I wish she would come south for awhile but ya can't blow her out of her house - it's all she has left. Sad but true. We all have part in what happens to us and granted the kids may feel justified - but in the end - it's STILL your mom. Someday karma will show up.........I'll keep ya posted on the progress and holler at ya if me and my "kick ass" DIL and daughter fly up there to do it ourselves...... we have been known to "ride herd" when needed. LOL Thanks again!!

| I always tell my kids - Ya can pick your friends but ya can't pick your family.... I think that fits for her group. GOOD News - I talked with her about 30 min ago and the "baseball team" was there. She was just so excited. They cleaned the yard (big one too!) and caulked her many windows. Even the coaches were there! She spotted the pitcher right off. The kid with the blower - LOL She felt that MUST be the pitcher since they "protect thier hands" LOL She had joy in her voice that I haven't heard for weeks!! I am so grateful to them all. She sees some sun in her dreary world today. Bless them all!!

| I don't know how to forward off of this site to another lurker - but did go to link and found the contact to be blattner@dc3.edu So I'm emailing him or her. I probably know who it is but by the 1st name only - just not by the last. My sis actually is involved with them and I dealt with them in my DC life....LOL They are very strong advocates for the elderly - Funny on their website - hell I knew bout 3 of the folks in the picture. LOL Sure miss that "small town" atmosphere. Thanks! I had all but forgotten those I used to do business with every day!....... I will email my gratitude.

| Forwarding a link to a certain page is usually the most polite way to email a web page. I go to the address bar at the top of Internet Explorer and click once behind the words/numbers and it gets highlighted automatically. Then I press and hold Ctrl plus the c key. This copies the address. Then I go to the email page and left click once to indicate the starting point of the copied address. Then I press and hold Ctrl plus the v key. This pastes the copied text. This address pasted: http://www.dodgeboard.com/forums/sho...?p=339#post339 The same functions will copy and paste any text message. By moving the I bar at the start of finish of any text message and then holding the left click button you can move the I bar to the other end of the text to highlight said text. Perform the same copy function (ctrl + c) and then locate the place where you want it pasted with a single click at the starting point. Perform the paste function (ctrl + v) The following is a copy and paste from your post: I always tell my kids - Ya can pick your friends but ya can't pick your family.... I think that fits for her group. GOOD News - I talked with her about 30 min ago and the "baseball team" was there. She was just so excited. They cleaned the yard (big one too!) and caulked her many windows. Even the coaches were there! She spotted the pitcher right off. The kid with the blower - LOL She felt that MUST be the pitcher since they "protect thier hands" LOL She had joy in her voice that I haven't heard for weeks!! I am so grateful to them all. She sees some sun in her dreary world today. Bless them all!! Notice that it didn't copy your bold & underlined type. Here I pushed the quote button on your post and opened the message up with those commands included so that a copy and paste produces this: Quote:

| OK - I poured my heart out in a letter to blattner - but heck her email won't talk to mine!! I didn't say anything ugly.... honest!! So Lurker - I want ya to know that tomorrow I'll just fax my eamil to RSVP which is the site you sent me - heck I'll pull up the DCCC # and fax one to them too. LOL....... DCCC is my alma mata anyhow...LOL Don't worry I will get the "thank you's" around as will my sister. SHE taught us about the "proper" way to say thanks. BTW - sorry for overtaking the Food Feast thing which is how this got started anyhow. My apologies....... but this has been a great help. Thanks for the instructions. I'll get the hang of this soon....... what a cool site!!
