Chock full of insights Deb - I know about the complaining - in my culture, that seems to be the norm especially among older women simply because that is the only way to get a little attn otherwise no one really bothers (sad truth)

However, i was drawn to the conversation between Earl Mabel and Gladys - lol I'm so happy they haven't lost their sense of humor despite their challenges - the lawnmower joke had me rolling around in laughter - I mean was she a stand up comic?
