I'm dealing with a similar situation with my mom. I have to keep her checkbook with me at all times, and the file cabinet where all her important papers are, has to stay locked at all times so she can't get her bank information to give it to any scammer that calls her on the phone. I've had to explain to her that her regular vacuum cleaner isn't a shop-vac after I cleaned out the mold from some wet mess she had vacuumed up with it. I have to go through her pills every week to make sure she's taking the right ones and she's not missing doses. She has voluntarily stopped driving, but that means I also have to do all her shopping for her. It all started when I had to get authorized to pay her bills because she was "putting them in a safe place" and then getting disconnect notices because she was forgetting to pay them.
I have made my mom cry a few times while dealing with her. She got upset when I explained that the psychics with offshore addresses wanting her to send them money were scammers. She got upset when I explained to her that The Amazing Kreskin has more money than she'll ever see, and that she didn't need to sent her money to him, either.
And some days, after I get home, it has me on the verge of tears as well. My brother lives 125 miles away, and he and Mom haven't been on good terms for 30 years...so he doesn't care. My sister lives 1200 miles away, and she can't take care of any of this stuff from that distance. If something happens to me, who's going to deal with Mom's day-to-day needs? That thought scares me to death.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
