Originally posted by Timber Loftis: Rainbabe -- LOL hyuck hyuck Skippy, there's a sad side to your tale of the octogenarian. My grandma is one. Never ever had a wreck in 60+ yrs of driving -- until 2 weeks ago. Now, don't get me wrong -- she was a menace on the roads: didn't look when pulling out, ran stop signs, backed without even looking, etc. However, for me, it is sad because after her first wreck she now is grounded -- she won't drive again during her life. The car's totalled, the insurance will shoot through the roof, she couldn't afford to get back in a car if she wanted to. And, she's losing some freedom due to this. Being able to drive herself around was a big factor in keeping her active. From what I've seen, whatever a person's illnesses, once they start losing mobility and independence, it's a very quick decent downhill healthwise. So, I fear for her health. Anyway, just some rambling. Certainly too deep for this little coffee house.

Sorry to hear about your Nan TL. The story was only meant to be humourous, even if it was based in fact. The shame is that it comes to us all eventually. If your Nan is still that active anyway I'm sure she'll find ways to get about.

Chin up big boy!
