I concur Max..... I already have my parent's "Money"... I'm spending it on
them!
I carry my own bills.... I don't need hand-outs or charity.

| Yes, sadly I'm aware that money often plays a part in such situations.
| We're facing this now with Janie's mother (Alzheimer's, in a facility) and
| her father (living independently). We, like you, don't give a rodent's
| posterior if he spends all his money caring for her and himself. To the
| contrary, we believe, as good conservatives do, that the gummint (read:
us
| taxpayers) should not have to bear that burden. But my in-laws see
things
| differently, and would love to cash in someday. Such was not the case in
| Dad's situation. Neither my brother nor I wanted his money. So that was
| not an issue.
