The scariest thing you said, no offense meant, is the bill paying thing ...
if you kick the bucket tomorrow, is she equipped to take care of the
finances? Does she know where the money is? Etc?

Lucky for me I could light a fireplace when ron was out of town and
the furnace went during a cold snap. I have never pumped gas, myself,
it's illegal here, but if self serve was the norm I would certainly like to
know how that works.

Again, no offense meant, you step in front of a bus tomorrow, it came
across that she will be left, not only heartbroken, but helpless.

Well, back to the ordering in a restaurant, a guy would have a hard time
with me, I often am deciding between two options and will only decide
when the waiter says, and what will you have?
