From time to time I've wondered if your mother-in-law is still with us. Thanks for the update.

Lots of people need to learn that the simplest solution to many problems is asking for help. These are the first and fifth stanzas of a five stanza poem I published earlier this year:

I can’t
of course you can
no, it’s beyond my reach
can you see my offering hand?
I can

...

no shame in asking
sin of pride prevents and shames
from asking for help
perseverance porn pricks you
and penicillin won’t help
