The bad news: When there are two people over 70 living in a condo in Florida, one of the necessary requirements is to have one of them as a bookkeeper or CPA. Failing that, then you will need Rhoda. The reason is...and you can expect this for yourself--mind my words...both of you have more doctors and medications than you ever had in your life before, and you had better be prepared to sort out the Medicare bills, the bills that come in from doctors on your plan, and the bills that come in from doctors who are not on your plan. For example, we just got a bill from my neurologist for $41 from a visit in 2006. Quite often bills come in from doctors who have already been paid by Medicare, or your health plan, and if you don't keep very careful records, you wind up paying bills that you do not have to pay. Reason being: The billing staff in doctors' offices are often swamped and incompetent. Now when I first moved down here in 1982, I only had a dentist back north. Now I have an internist, a neurologist, a pulmonologist, a chiropractor, an orthopedist, a cardiologist, a dermatologist, a periodontist, an endodontist, a psychologist, and a psychiatrist...(now you know why I need one.)
The good news is that my publisher, LULU.com has assigned my MEMOIRS an ISBN number, and they have placed a bar code on the back cover of the book. I had to edit the book's file to include a copyright page and then upload it to the LULU site with that revision. The result of this is that the book will be selling in a couple of weeks at online bookstores like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Borders. In addition there is now a "retail" price on the book which includes royalties for me and a profit for them. All that has to happen now is for people to buy the book. Of course, if you let me know, I can get it for you wholesale!
I'm sorry...I don't know any "ugly" :-(
