Everyone, sorry for not getting questions answered lately; my wife was in an automobile accident (she's going to be fine, but is in a lot of pain) - I just got her home yesterday evening, and it may be several days before I have any free time to answer questions - I'm hoping some of the regulars can chime in and direct people to the resources that are already here, or answer individual questions when they've not already been covered; I'll try to get back into things as I can.
I still have to take care of a crapload of paperwork and try to figure out what to do with her (possibly totalled) car, insurance, etc -
Thanks for your understanding - I'm just very grateful it wasn't as bad as it could have been - at least cars can be replaced, where Ann is one of a kind... Steve

I wish you and yours all the best as well, and a speedy return to normal.
I'm also hoping that you will have a 'every cloud has a silver lining' story to tell. For example, when I was but 3 months old way before seat belts were common, for some reason my parents decided a child safety seat would be a good thing. I was in the back seat (again, odd for the decade I believe), when my mother's car was T boned by a car driving through a red light. At this point the front windshield and a few other important parts left the car. My mother's car continued forward at an off-road angle until it hit a concrete light pole and stoped. She, not wearing a seat belt, went through the missing front windshield, airborne for 30', coming to a stop face first against a concrete park bench. The police later remarked to my mother in hospital that I did not cry and was just looking around, utterly unharmed, and when they retrieved me from the back seat and then set my baby seat next to my mother's unconscious body in the ambulance that I thought it was a good time to take a nap. My mother lost 10 upper front teeth and 4 lower front teeth. And the silver lining is that, although she can't recommend the technique, she always felt she looked better with the straighter artificial teeth after the accident, and her apple bite improved. Also, the trunk had been rusty and was always scratching her. The new car trunk wasn't rusty (although it was a smaller cheaper car).
