Right now, every day at TVCH one or more posters make generalizations about particular groups of people.

Right now, forgive me for this shameless plug for my own thread, Easy Cooking Recipes. Please stop by, if you have a minute, and leave your favorite recipe to be added to a special Christmas gift for my daughters.

Right now: It is in my opinion (newman, you'll love this) that no one of or over the age of 80 should be allowed to have driver's licenses. Both accidents I have seen today were caused by elderly drivers.

Right now, I am trying to get all these tears outta my system before the daughter arrives. She just called to tell me that she "got the call" and she is San Francisco bound. Her start date is January 1st! They know she can't possibly get there that quick, so they are giving her until the 9th.

Anyone got any ideas on how she can locate an apartment via the internet and telephone?

Right now Escapee, it's not that people over 80 shouldn't have drivers license, but that they should be tested more often and more extensively. I have a great deal of respect for the elderly, and realize how difficult getting older is when they're giving up so much (their health, their mobility, etc.) I can't tell you how many times we had one of our residents walk back from somewhere and tell us they lost their cars in a parking lot. I'm not talking about walking out and going the wrong direction or having to search for it, they literally could not find their own cars and would have to find some other way home until someone could go with them to look for it.

Right now: I think you should be tested every 5 years once you hit 65, then at 80, no more. Regardless of how competent you are, etc. There are plenty of competent 15 year olds who can drive, but it's still against the law until they are 16.

The fact is elderly people cause more accidents and deaths than teenagers.

Right now I don't think she knows much at all about living in the area. She was only there for a few days a couple of months ago. I'm sure she would be grateful for any helpful information in that regard. Please feel free to email me at marysafan2@yahoo.com.

This is rather sudden and now apparently time is of the essence. Merry Christmas!

Right now I stop short at saying they shouldn't drive at all. I know too many competant, capable people over 80 who are perfectly fine to drive. And there are some younger who should be stopped.

My great aunt worked til she was 72 and drove everywhere. One day she pulled away from the house. All of a sudden she notices she's being followed by some guy. She was terrified and even more so when she pulled into the parking lot and stopped that he pulled up next to her and got out of the car. What she didn't realize was that in pulling away from the house, she pulled right out in front of him and the only reason he didn't hit her was because he swerved into oncoming traffic and then back again. Scared her to death and that was when she finally admitted her eyes were too bad to be driving. She called us to pick her up and hasn't driven since. If the dmv had made her come in for even an eye chart exam, she wouldn't have been driving around almost completely blind. While at the same time my step dads father was still driving at 90 and doing well at it.

Personally I think everyone should be tested at the dmv more than they are. Even young people have health issues that can change in four or five years very quickly that might effect their driving.

It's not, it is a bunch of large frost covered trees. (Hoar frost or something like that!) We woke up today to some really cool looking frost covered trees.
