    Are you comfortable discussing your "money" with your adult children?

    It was difficult for me to do this....I feel that I am still quite alert and completely capable of looking out for my own affairs...yet I see others my age keeling over suddenly from strokes and heart attacks their doctors never saw coming. So, I took the bit between my teeth and had the...

    If a widower, where would UK Philip rank in precedence in processions?

    The Queen gave him "precedence" next to her...above Prince Charles. When Charles becomes King, if Philip is still alive, does Charles have to "re-do" all that precedence proclamation? I KNOW that Prince Charles will be first in precedence, but then who comes next? I'm not looking for...

    Where will UK Prince Philip live if he outlives the Queen?

    Not likely, but IF Prince Philip winds up living longer than the Queen, where do you think he will live? Will Sandringham and Balmoral be his until he dies, or do they go directly to Charles? We all hear so many stories (and maybe have some of our own) of taking care of crochety, old...
