Why isn't driver's ed mandatory to get a driver's license???
In most places it is considering most today go for a license previous to age 17, problem is its still failing.

Not only can the US population not SHIFT - they can no longer determine what PEDAL to push
Ellen, it's just another example among many of a majority in our society not taking responsibility for their actions. ( I didn't hit the wrong pedal-it was the cars fault! ) Frankly I'm sick of all of it up to my eyeballs! This attitudes growth over the past 25 years or so is the reason for our litigious society which has resulted in the astronomical cost of everything- especially insurance.

Aashish, thanks for asking about my week...

Definitely some stressful and sorrowful times for me and my family but
being there to support each other, we got through it.

We were able to have some fun as well, played golf, walked along the
beach, spent time at the pool, meals together just talking reliving old
happy memories. All helped to make it easier and a good time spent
with and supporting my mom, it was definitely the hardest on her.

Leaving her was difficult, I can only imagine what it's like for her going home
to an empty house after the passing of my dad 4 years ago and now my
sister.

Thanks Dave...in a way it's good to be home but I definitely wasn't happy
leaving the 85 degree sunny weather every day.

At least she has a wonderful son like you who will undoubtedly do everything he can to help out


I hope you're holding in there as well.

Thank you Gilly.

I am doing ok...the two funerals were really tough (had one in Hawaii and
one back home) but knowing she's in a better place eases the pain, she
was hurting every day.
