[Dailydrool] Pat Update - Monday Evening

[Dale Rutz]

Our hearts, prayers and drool go out to Pat.
 
While Snoopy and Cyrus are drooling over their treats I would like to point out 
that since Hippa we all now need:
 
1)  a will
2)  durable power of attorney for business (so someone can sign things)
3)  health care directive (durable power of attorney for health care which you 
may have is null and void as of hippa ... you need to replace it)
4)  CLEAR and complete instructions for your family/friends so they don't have 
to guess, or worse, fight over things like how much religion should surround you 
when you can't speak for yourself ... and at the end if you prefer to fight it 
out or go quickly and quietly (ventilation, pain killers, tube feeding et al) 
and after the end if you prefer to go into the ground or ashes or whatever.
5)  The dog(s).  Oh my dog PLEASE remember what happened to my Snoopy and do 
something drastic to protect your dogs.  My Mother (may her memory be for 
blessing) left me her worldly goods and her accounts but she left the house on 
the lake (paid for mind you) to a man who agreed to care for her 3 100lb plus 
labs until they all went of natural causes years later.  I couldn't take them 
(they were wild and also on the wrong coast and too many of them and 2 were 
already 12).  It was all in the will that the dogs vet had to sign off after the 
3rd one was gone for him to get the house.  He was a nice man ... and he earned 
the house.  It irritated my uncle, but that doesn't take much.  I think my 
mother was a genius.
 
We can all thank Pat and Sandi for the prompt reminder that we have control over 
what happens if we TAKE control.
 
D-g bless,
Dale
