I meant paid the bill in a restaurant. She has paid the bills at home, but
you do bring up a very god point. Often when the spouse in charge of
finance dies, the other is left with problems. I've take some precaustion
on that. For one thing, I pay some bills on line but I keep the paper
statements coming "just in case" the computer dies or I do.

As for the other things, she is actually quite capable, but I prefer to do
it for her. She does other things for me. When I get out of the shower in
the morning, my breakfast is ready and my lunch is made and packed.

No offense taken. My brohter passed away just over a year ago. his wife had
no clue about some things. Every one should have an envelope iwth at least
basic insructions how to find bank accounts, insurance policies, pasword to
the computer or any other little bits of information to help those left with
the chore of settling things.
