How To Find Day-to-Day Transportion For Your Grandparent

Old age comes for us all, but when it happens to a beloved grandmother or neighbor, it can be hard to watch them lose their independence when they're no longer allowed to drive. One way to help them restore their mobility is by arranging non-emergency transportation for their daily needs, but how can you be sure those drivers are safe? Here are a few methods for vetting strangers behind the wheel. Look Into Their Driving Record If they're part of an official transportation company, these records should be on-file and accessible to any concerned party. If they're working solo, they should still have no problem requesting them from the DMV and handing them over. Signs of hesitance mean there's something on their record they don't want you to see.

Two Weeks on Metformin

I know I am the cause of the condition, however, I am trying to fix that and it was hard when the condition was working against me. I want the weather to … [Read more...]

Walmart To Start Black Friday Early

Thanks to Walmart and them starting to honor competitor deals a week early, I was thinking Thanksgiving was this Thursday, I was a bit bummed out when I learned Thanksgiving wasn't until next week.
