Come on Dietz you saw an AP play when it presented itself, and you took it. A gift from the heavens all at the right time. Yeah now tell us it was all done out of compassion.

Wow. I hope that was a bad joke. My girlfriend had her own home (California -- worth quite a bit). I had my own home (worth not much -- Tennessee and all that). We left them vacant while we lived there. We weren't paid anything, obviously, although technically I think California does reimburse family caregivers some if you apply.

I'm hoping that was a real bad joke.

So BoSox, how about you? You ever do some long-term caregiving?
