Check it out and see how easy it is to get what you want at Badcock Home Furniture &more. 594 North Main Street 981 West Nelson Ave. CRESTVIEW DEFUNIAK SPRINGS 850-682-6835 850-892-7311 Locally owned and operated by Darel and Donna Lundy "I don't know what mama's wishes were." "Did daddy want to be cremated or buried?" "Would daddy want a military service?" "Who will help us with the insurance, who contacts the paper, how many death certificates will we need..." These are questions that we hear all to often. Families will sit down with us and not know what to do or which direction to go. Our family at Whitehurst-Powell Funeral Home is here to help you with these questions. More times than not it is easier on the family to talk about these decisions ahead of time. Even in my own family I have experienced this, one set of grandparents had everything planned out and the other set did not. It was a lot easier to sit down with my mother and aunt and go through their parents arrangements. They had everything planned out, right down to the songs that they wanted played, and clothes that they wanted to wear. My daddy and his brother had to start from scratch, picking out the casket, writing the obit, selecting the songs. Was one easier than the other? Yes, easier on the family because their parents took the time to plan and take the burden off of their children. The other aspect of it is the money. How are we going to pay for this? Their are two things in the world that most people do not like to talk about, death and money. It is a whole lot easier to discuss the money side of a funeral before death. Helping families decide how they are going to pay for their funeral is another way that we can help. Sometime it is best to pay for the funeral ahead of time, other times families choose to wait until time of death to pay for the funeral. Different factors come in to play in bother decisions. Regardless of what decision you choose to make; burial, cremation, pre-pay or wait until time of death to pay, make a decision and have a plan. Get with your family, come to the funeral home and sit down with one of our family members to talk about your wishes. Everything can be written down and kept in a personal folder and on file at the funeral home. The other statement that is a joy or pleasure to hear from families is "I sure am glad daddy came in ahead of time and took care of all the decisions, this has been a lot easier than I expected."

  • Patty Tucker © February 2021 Page 1 to BID, OR NOT to BID UNUSUAL
    TO BID, OR NOT TO BID UNUSUAL 2N That’s the question! You are probably familiar with Unusual 2N, a bid made by Overcaller designed to show two long suits and a weak(ish). There are a few variations, but most partnerships play that it shows: 5+/5+ cards in the two lowest unbid suits, Less than an opening hand and Good suits. So, for example, if the bidding proceeded: North East South West 1♥ 2N East would be showing 5+ clubs, 5+ diamonds, less than an opening hand, and something like 3 of the top 5 honors in each of the suits. Some partnerships have less rigid restrictions. They might bid 2N with bad suits. They might bid 2N with opening points. That is their decision. I like to know what to expect from partner’s hand. My agreements are typically very structured and precise. However, even I make some strategic decisions when deciding whether or not to bid 2N, overcall one of my suits, or simply pass. I’m going to talk about today about the other factors that can influence whether or not you decide to bid 2N. Some of these ideas can be carried over to the Michaels Cuebid as well, but I’m specifically addressing bids of Unusual 2N. On the following hands we are going to look at how each of these affect your decision To Bid, or Not to Bid. Patty Tucker © February 2021 Page 1 The factors to take into consideration are: Vulnerability and Level Suit Quality and Length High Card Points 2nd Person to bid, or 3rd or 4th What do you gain? Vulnerability It’s difficult sometimes to be able to bid both minor suits.
