One of the things I love about my practice is that I can help domestic partners prevent problems. One of the things I hate about my practice is having to tell domestic partners when it is too late to plan.
A few weeks ago, two partners came to see me to get their documents together. They told me ahead of time that he was experiencing “the first stages” of dimentia. When I met with them, she did all of the talking and he sat, smiled, and nodded amiably. She told me that they had been together for 17 years, that she had been taking care of him for some time, but now that he was starting to slip a little, the family was starting to get a little nosy. More than anything, she was starting to feel a lot of frustration because the bank had made it clear that he had to give them instructions on everything. The doctor had also been contacted by the family and was told that, although she was his partner, that she didn’t have a healthcare power of attorney. Now The doctor was not following her instructions and not giving her information. And he had a reasonable amount of assets, so it may simply be that the kids were looking to protect their father… but then again, it could be to make sure their inheritance was as large as possible. But since he had yet to talk to me, I was starting to get a little worried.
It was then that my fears were realized. He was WAY past the first stages; he actually thought I was his dentist.
Unfortunately, there was nothing I could do to help at this point. In order for me to help them create the documents they needed, or more appropriately she needed, he needed to have enough “mental capacity” to direct me to help him. Just the fact that I spent ten minutes outlining some of the basics around e legal documents and he thought I was his dentist meant he lacked that capacity.
She was very gracious when I told her there was nothing I could do. In fact, she might have suspected before she even made the appointment. But the fact is they waited too long.
You can always unsubscribe, but at least you’ll have good information BEFORE a problem pops up. For non-partners, or for just a more general overview, please go to www.raleightrusts.com for a similar information system.The Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers are going to duke it out on Monday Night Football in Lambeau Field on Monday Night, and here at Bang the Book, we’re going to take our picks for some of the MNF props on the board for one of the biggest games of the weekend!
Michael Jenkins Under 3.5 Pass Receptions: Give QB Christian Ponder some credit for the way that he has played this year, but he just doesn’t have all that many completed passes to spread around. The former Florida State Seminole just hasn’t built that much of a rapport with Jenkins, who only has five catches in the last two games combined. Even with QB Donovan McNabb, Jenkins just didn’t get the looks that consistently to be able to bet this number, so we have no choice but to think that the leading receiver for the Vikes.
Jordy Nelson -24.5 Receiving Yards vs. Percy Harvin: Harvin hasn’t had more than 78 receiving yards in a game this year, and he has averaged right around 40 yards or so per game. We have some confidence that Nelson can reach the 65 yard barrier, especially since he has been the subject of some bombs by QB Aaron Rodgers. Nelson is averaging 19.7 yards per catch, and though he only has 29 receptions, that is just one shy of tied for second on the team. Nelson has had 90+ yards in three of his last five games, and he has had a catch of at least 50 yards in four of his last seven. That’s more than good enough for us.
James Starks & Ryan Grant +24.5 Rushing & Receiving Yards vs. Adrian Peterson & Toby Gerhart: You would think that Grant and Starks would be the huge underdogs in this prop after watching Peterson rumble for 175 yards when these two teams met the first time around. That being said, we are concerned that AP is going to really find the sledding tough against a team that hasn’t had much in the way of problems stopping the run. It’s the pass that has really gotten the Pack this year. Grant and Starks have combined for almost 200 receiving yards and almost 700 yards on the ground. Don’t be all that surprised if the two Green Bay runners end up outdoing “All Day” outright in this prop.
Aaron Rodgers Under 24.5 Pass Completions: We know that betting against Rodgers is like rooting for the house in blackjack. Everyone wants to see the Green Bay quarterback throw for 6,000 yards and 60 touchdowns this year to shatter all of the records, but we have to be realistic and realize that his numbers are starting to get a tad inflated. Rodgers has 192 completions this year, including 24 against these Vikes the first time around. That being said, he is completing virtually every pass that he throws, which makes it hard to play the ‘under’, but on the flip side, it’s really hard to be able to complete 25 passes on a regular basis..I lived on a very low grocery budget for years and these were some of my favorites, that I still eat today. Buy rice cakes- you can put so many things on them that taste amazing. My personal favorite snack is a rice cake spread with peanut butter, drizzled with sriracha or hot sauce, and cut up cucumbers. It sounds weird but it’s awesome. Another good one is buying cold cuts and string cheese- wrap the cold cut around the string cheese and you have a lunch roll up. Also, toast with cream cheese is SO versatile. You can put jam on top for a nice treat, or slice up a tomato and put it on top of the cream cheese. It literally takes 5 minutes to make. You can make some cool roll ups with tortillas too. A warmed up tortilla with butter, sugar, and cinnamon, then rolled up, is honestly heaven.

Edit: one more thing. Do not shy away from condiments, sauces, jams, etc. I used to hate buying these items because they are expensive, but they make cheap food taste so much better. I started realizing how much utility I got out of having different flavors around- meal time became a little more exciting.Clothes are complicated. Here’s how to pick the right ones for your little one.
This article is part of a series on How To Plan An Out Of This World Costume: A blog around costume planning for little ones.
How should you dress your baby or toddler on Halloween? It’s always a big question, but this year it’s been especially tough given that Halloween is coming in the midst of chilly weather and a pandemic.
If you’re looking for some tips and tricks, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve gathered some ideas for costumes and outfits that are cute, fun, and appropriate for every kind of Halloween celebration. They will also keep your baby warm as you go trick-or-treating in the cold!
1) Princess: The classic princess outfit is as simple as it gets in terms of costume planning. A dress is the only must-have item for this ensemble. Shoes, jewelry, and tiaras are optional extras that can add a little flair to your princess’ look.
2) Animal: Animal costumes are easy and fun for kids of all ages. Dressing up as a cat or dog is especially popular among the preschool set. For older kids, more difficult to identify animals like foxes, giraffes, or frogs provide more of a challenge when it comes to guessing who or what they are dressed up as.
It’s almost that time of year again when the kids are out of school for the summer and it’s time for the neighborhood block party. This year, I’ve decided to be proactive and plan ahead. There is nothing worse than having your child in a last-minute costume, so here are some tips on how to plan an out of this world costume!
1. Pick a theme: The first step is deciding what kind of costume we’re going to make this year. I like to go with a theme my kid will love, but one that I’ll enjoy too. So far, my favorite theme has been Star Wars. My son loved being Yoda and I loved dressing up as Princess Leia (complete with cinnamon roll buns).
2. Gather Materials: Once you have a theme in mind, it’s time to gather materials. I find it easiest to have a central place where I collect all the supplies for my child’s costume ahead of time. This helps me keep track of what we need as well as if we already have items in our house or not.
In the event that you have a little one who cherishes dressing up, costuming can be a ton of fun. It is crucial to remember that while picking a costume, you need to ensure your little one is protected and agreeable.
1. Ensure your child’s costume is fireproof. If it isn’t, hem it yourself with flame-safe fabric or fleece.
2. No hanging strings or lose articles on costumes (strings on garments, cap
