Sorry, I couldn't resist -- the Propper company (
http://www.proppermfg.com/ ) make medical equipment -- so far as I know
they don't have a unique way of employing the language. <grinning, ducking,

Easiest?  Hoo boy.  If "Fifty Ways" doesn't do it you'll have to define
your goals and situation a lot better than that.  And you still won't get
an answer that makes sense, I bet.

However, on the assumption that you're a decent person and that "ease"
includes keeping your self-respect, I'll loosely quote something that I
think Heinlein put into one of his lists of aphorisms -- maybe not, I can't
seem to find it.  Wherever it came from it has seemed in my limited
experience to be correct:  "In any situation involving [tangled emotions?]
the most difficult course of action is probably the correct one."

Good luck, and tread lightly.
