Visit your lawyer and talk to him and get him to transfer your case to someone else in his firm(if he is in one) or to someone else that he recommends. When all is said and done, no matter how much you want to walk away, you need some leverage with David’s kids. Take care of Barbara first - always.</p> Barbara – remember, no matter what, you need to protect YOUR long term interests.

Goodwill in our area bundles and takes semi-loads to local distribution center. Doesn’t bother me. If someone needs it, I figure, just feed whatever extra we have into the system ASAP so it can be used. There’s no time to waste in these awful times of want.
