Thanks Karen, my niece is on her own and reasonable wealthy now, at least for a 23 year old! She is working. She was diagnosed with aspbergers and her condition puts a big strain on her relationships.

Potter is fine, I have lots of problems with him wandering the neighborhood and I worry about his safety.

I did miscalculate the proceeds and came home to a letter saying I had overdraftered a huge check,,,the bank thankfully cashed the check it was only 65 short so I am out a few hundred from my pocket...no biggie at least the whole thing is over.
