NEG, I enjoyed your dialog, and am sooooooo sorry you had such a tough day. Please take the next couple days "off" to recuperate! Then laugh this winter when eating some of this corn, remembering what occurred to get this delicious treat in the off season.
NEG, my recipe for frozen corn (and string beans) is to drive to the supermarket and buy a bag of Birdseye frozen vegetables.
I'm getting to that as well. In the meantime my little garden is delivering way too many stringbeans, so out I go to pick them....and somehow put them up (will not do canning)....

We are in the same boat.

Mountainrose, maybe you should find a good financial advisor and dump your worries into his lap. They aren't all Bernie Madoffs; find a reputable firm which would make good in the event of fraud and turn it over to them. They charge you for it but it's worth it.
I am not retired yet but I when I do retire, I will live a lavishing life with lots of beautiful women, luxury cars, mansions, travel. I will be a Playboy.
