LOL. I watched that show enough to know that 'Alan' was portrayed as the perpetual nerd! ... but that is me.

If you were to log into my main gmail account, you would be able to find story ideas, lines for future stories that come to me in the middle of the night, and many other things. I do keep separate 'virtual' files for various subjects.

'Pre-Lisa,' I had told my daughter and son that should I 'kick it,' they would find any and all financial matters under an innocuous sub-folder in my drafts section. I gave them the term to search for in my account. I was one of the very first people to get an Gmail account, back when it was by invitation only. I still have emails that carry a 2004/2005 time stamp. I have over 32,000 emails in my in-box and about 26,000 in my out-box... plus about 1700 in my 'Drafts' section. The draft section is where I keep my ideas and such.

'Post-Lisa,' she has all of that information now. I made her my 'medical go to person' in the event of a emergent health issue. She knows the 'business' of health' and she understands my philosophy of care. I don;t want someone using their 'emotions' making my medical decisions. I want someone to use their knowledge of the situation. When my father went into cardiac arrest, I was the one who called the code because he had told me what he expected of me in that very situation. I looked at the evidence I saw, knew what the outcome would be, and made the appropriate decision. My sister didn't talk to me for three years because she thought that I had 'killed our father,' but the doctor knew that I was right in doing so. There was no salvation in continuing. All they were doing was s show for the family and running up a monster medical bill. 

I know that goes far beyond your comment, but I hope that someone might see the original post and then this follow-up and gain some knowledge.

As always, thank you.

I'm surprised you don't have all of that typed up and in a folder cross referenced like Alan on 2 and half men.
