Ärende: mail drops 697

Not that mailbox services are reliable either. Suffice
it to say that my brother helps run a mailroom ... .

It's easier for me (legally speaking) to have the
essential stuff go to the house, because the address
has to be in state, has to be checked regularly (lets
places like the Shipps' out), and not be a P.O. box.
The dangers of things getting lost or intercepted
(mostly inadvertently) are outweighed by these issues.

Story. Once my brother opened a bank statement of mine
by mistake. No major consequence except that for some
period of time he thought he had $10000 more than he
did. It took a little effort - nothing earthshaking -
to get him dug out of that.

 RH> astray. Do you keep a box or something at the house so your brother
 RH> can drop your mail into as it comes in?

There's a chair that he puts it into, except when he
missorts things or throws something essential out or
when it gets hidden in the pile of junk.

Same with me, mostly, except that I am a free agent,
no substantial family and all.

 RH> OK, fo some reason I thought this was one of the older messages.

Hah. I still have tens of thousands of miles to go,
including seeing Ian and Glen (on opposite sides of the
planet from each other). There are things to be said for
not having grandchildren.

 ML> I hope that he's at least comfortable.
 RH> Once the pain meds kick in, yes. When they've worn off, no. He did

Does your father get an adequate supply of them?
At the later stages, especially in hospice, they're
not supposed to take into account the "risk" of
addiction or abuse, because there's no real harm
that could be done.
