Getting Elderly Drivers Off The Road...
Comments (37)BDDT, with my dad about 4 years ago. He was far more cooperative than many of your parents have been. He had two accidents in a week plus a few others in the preceding couple of years. Mom did most of the driving until she broke her elbow. She was out of commission and he drove more resulting in the two final accidents. Mom agreed and we hired a caregiver who drove for them 5 days a week. Definitely expensive, but Dad used senior door 2 door transportation and discount taxi coupons. He agreed to a full neurological workup which after six weeks the doc INSANELY said that he was fine to drive. Mom wisely had the caregiver drive around the neighborhood with dad. She came back and said unequivocally that he was not capable. Only one more time did he attempt to drive. I was called by the cleaning lady and rushed over, just in time. I explained that he had worked very hard all his life for a comfortable retirement. Was he going to jeopardize all it? What kind of life did that elderly man have after he killed ten people at the Santa Monica Farmer's Market? After that we sold his car. He's never attempted it again. Sadly there is NO public transportation in their area of Los Angeles, but he's not physically capable now of getting on a bus unassisted. MIL had her license suspended recently. She's 90 and fully capable, but nearly hit a pedestrian who called the cops, MIL got a citation and a notice to appear for a competency hearing. She had to take another driver's test and failed. She too is complaining about the inequity. She's fiercely independent and doesn't want to rely on anyone. She's had another hearing and has to go for a full medical eval. If she passes then she has to get a learner's permit and take 6 hours of lessons. She thought that she could just send in the med form for the doc to fill out. We're a bit more removed in this situation so we're letting the DMV sort it out. Finally, my friend's FIL refused to stop driving (he had some dementia) and they put a club on his steering wheel so that he couldn't drive!...See MoreDo you read the newspaper and have it delivered to your home?
Comments (39)I read the Bismarck ND tribune on line everyday. I think a subscription for out of state is maybe around 400 dollars already. In state the last I know it was 240 and that was about 15 years ago. I can't afford it. I like to keep up on things there. I just found out that my last great aunt died at the age of 98. Some of the news is online before it is in the daily paper though. I don't understand why they do that. We subscibe to the small town local paper here in our county. It is about 28 dollars a month. I too started getting it so I would get to know about some of the people here and what was going on when I moved here. I also got another small town one the first one or two years but I cancelled that one. I sometimes read the Pierre Capital Journal on line. There is a paper that comes out of Pierre that is free. It is the want ads and flyers from the CPJ so I see what is on sale and the rummage sales if I am going to Pierre....See MoreHow much/what do you have from your own childhood?
Comments (11)but it seems like the memory is often in much better condition than the toys actually were. This is so true! I nearly "lost" a wonderful memory because of this. When I was a little girl, I helped with a skit as an ending to a performance by a barbershop quarter of high school boys (my dad as a drama coach, and helped them with it--I was the "love interest" at the end of "What Ain't We Got, We Ain't Got Dames"--not something you'd make jokes about now, though. I was a little bit in love with all of them, but especially curt. (I was, oh, 6.) After the contest was over, the boys got together and bought me a purple bunny with yellow satin lining in his ears, and Curt (swoon!) brought it for me. I LOVED that bunny. Loved it. Slept with it, carried it everywhere. Kept it around as I got older. At some point he ended up in a box in the attic. And when I was a young adult, out on my own, my mom & dad sent me all my stuff from the attic, including my stuffed animals. They were really in a sorry state--misshapen, coarse, and dirty. Their present-day reality pretty much overwrote my wonderful memories of them from when they were lovely (or, loved and their misshapenness completely invisible because of it). I have a few things I treasure: -the license plate w/ my unusual first name that my grandparents had custom-made for me -the cloth doll that "my little old lady down the block" gave to me, and I used to create a room design that won a red ribbon at the Iowa State Fair. -the "Night Before Christmas" book that I was given as a kid, and read from every Christmas -the printed velvet vest that my mom made for me (part of a set, but I accidentally ruined the skirt); I could wear it up until relatively recently....See MoreHave to renue my drivers license today
Comments (13)My husband's licence renewal arrived today. The cost will be $90.00 Cdn. It will be good for 5 years. He does not need a new photo - they will move his last one over to the new card. Mine had to be renewed a couple of months ago - as did the licence plate since the car is in my name- that was expensive too. I wish now I had renewed the plate for 2 years rather than 1 year since shortly after I paid the fee it was announced that plate registration is going up so I would have been ahead of the game. I just didn't want to give our Ontario premier more of our money to throw away....See Morearkansas girl
