<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stevearino, post: 4283634, member: 74571&quot;]When my father and brother were in a car accident five years ago, I picked them up at a hospital in Grand Forks, ND, and brought them to our home in Moorhead, MN, for recuperation.&nbsp; I had Dad&#039;s mail forwarded to us immediately as we weren&#039;t sure how long they would be with us.&nbsp; Bad mistake.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dad ended up in the hospital that very night and subsequently in palliative care where he died ten days after the accident.&nbsp;&nbsp; Dad was a generous person, evidenced by the dozens of charities to whom he donated or who bought his name for their own mailing lists.&nbsp; I wrote to every single charity, informing them he was deceased.&nbsp; Didn&#039;t help.&nbsp; Stuff (actually, crap in many instances) keeps coming.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I decided it was their nickel and now just toss it all.&nbsp; Except for a very few, like the DAV, which I donate to out of respect for my dad&#039;s WW II service.&nbsp; During the first day of the Battle of the Bulge he accidentally shot his sergeant, a good friend, in the arm when his captain tossed him a Tommy gun and it discharged when my dad caught it.&nbsp; To his dying day, Dad regretted that, even though it wasn&#039;t his fault.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry for the digression from shut-in meals.&nbsp; Getting bored stuck in AZ.</p><p><br /></p><p>Steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
