The M-I-L is in the hospital with four broken ribs due to all the falls she'd had. Her doctor duck examined her just before she moved into the assisted living mansion. Do you think he noticed she had four broken ribs? Nooooo. It was a nurse at the mansion who thought she might have damaged ribs. It was the mansion who got her into the hospital for x-rays. Where is The M-I-L's quack? He's probably at the golf club sipping cocktails with his cronies. Grrr

Also broken is the 22 year old hunk-a-junk I've been driving. It has automatic windows and yesterday when I pressed the buttons to close the windows the whole panel fell down into the arm rest. Now the driver's window is permamently closed, the front passenger window has always been tricky (sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't) and the two back windows can only be opened or closed by the buttons on their respective armrests, while the engine is running or the battery is turned on. It's supposed to be 28C on Monday and 31C on Tuesday. Sob...
