#48 An Invitation from Aunt Garnet and Cousin Jana
Chuck's Mom from KY
Mom and I have determinded that she needs to move out here with me in Caifornia, but mean Aunt Garnet and Crazy Cousin Jana have another plan. They lure her to a disasterous overnight stay with them in West Virginia. We'd been told that Jana had "fits" but we'd never actually heard one before. NOTE: I put this out at first without her rescue but decided to add it to this episode rather than make a two-parter. Recorded on Dec. 30, 2025 - Released Jan. 2, 2026 - Final Version Jan. 3, 2026

#045 Delivery to the ICU
Chuck's Mom from KY
Mom receives a neighbor's grocery delivery but is too afraid to call the office about it. I e-mail and call on her behalf. This is just another example of how people like my mother are at a Digital Disadvantage and can be intimidated by the very people they are supposed to contact when there is a problem.

#038 Making Lists and Cooking Pot Pies
Chuck's Mom from KY
Mom continues her search for someone to clean her apartment well below market rates (even for Kentucky) while I try to interest her in the kind of life she could have with me in California. I advise her to make lists of things she'd like to see or do while also advising her on the proper way to cook Marie Callender pot pies in the microwave (she doesn't believe me or the instructions on the box though).
