People who are reluctant to use any mobility assistance because they think they will become dependent on it.
What they don't realize is that a power chair or scooter can make them much more independent that they ever dreamed... able to lead a more active, satisfying life and do more things for themselves.
That's why we've enclosed your FREE Personal Mobility Assessment — so you can see for yourself just what a difference a power chair or scooter can make.
I've got several I can go with --- "100 Times As Much," "Mercy On My House" or "Praising God" (did that one at DP as a game-time decision without notes due to Powerpoint malfunction). But yes, "Neat But Negative" is always ready to go now as well. I also like Kris' recent sermon idea on 1 Corinthians 12-14. My version of that idea is "pocket ready!" It's nice to have some you know so well that little preparation is required.
I've noticed that people tend to say couple's names by order of how many syllables, like Scott and Jenny, Kris and Sommer, Bill and Elaine, etc. Weird observation, I know.
Thanks. Those bugs are the Asian version of lady bugs. There are out in large numbers in the Centerville area. They are called Asian Beetles
and they do the same job American Lady Bugs do. They look just a little different.
We have community boxes in our neighborhood. (I'm not sure if that's the correct term.) Near every few corners, there's a set of mailboxes, one of which is yours. There are also some parcel boxes. When I get home from work I usually stop by the mailbox before making the final corner towards my house, and pick up the mail. When I walk up to the box, if I notice that there's no key in one of the parcel boxes, I always hope that means there's something in there for me! I've always liked getting mail.
Well, today there was something in the parcel box for us.
Gifts from Hawai'i! Noreen and her husband, Ed, sent us a package containing a box of chocolate covered macadamia nuts, a package of Royal Kona Coffee, and a nice 2010 calendar with Hawai'ian sunrises and sunsets.
The idea for the TV ad below came as a result of a mention in a report (Car Drivers' Skills and Attitudes to Motorcycle Safety: A Review. May 2008.) by Dr. David Crundall (University of Nottingham) that drivers with close friends or relatives who are motorcyclists are less likely to collide with one, and show better observation of motorcycles than those people who do not have a personal relationship with a motorcyclist. It isn't really the point of the report, but it is an interesting bit of information in a complicated subject.
With that in mind, "Think! UK" produced the following:
Why do English people pronounce "TT" like "FF"?
I bored you, didn't I? ;-)
That is a really cute commercial! You didn't bore me - I watched it earlier but didn't have time to respond. I'm the same way about 18-wheelers. After working at the farm (before Scott and I got married) I have a much greater respect for them. They can squash anything that gets in the way and I didn't realize that they can't stop on a dime.
"Focus on The Distracted" has not gleaned any financial support! :( We have had to lay off staff! And here you are posting again! We could have helped but I guess bad economic times makes people less charitable.
I'll have to watch the vid when not at work, sounds interesting.
Yeah, when I was young, St. Patty's day was just about wearing green and pinching those who weren't. After spending time in Ireland I adore any excuse to celebrate that great place! ...and any time is a good time for S'mores :-D
not boring at all, i love it! and since Steve used to have motorcycles, I do have respect for bikers...except the CRAZY veering in and out crotch-rocket types!! grrrr...
and ditto on the 18-wheelers -- i try to respect them and give them there space too!
The Bradford Pear tree in the back yard has budded. It isn't a great photo, taken with my cell phone, but you can see the white flowers. Click for a larger (but not more detailed) picture.
I'm reading 59° at my house, and the predicted high today is 61°. Perfect! Spring has sprung!
Oh, and I went out to pull up a couple of dandelions, and I see that the grass is starting to green. Most years the green never completely goes away, but this year it was all brown. Not that I mind... it needs a rest now and then, I suppose. And we need something that passes for a real winter now and then, with more than the usual one or two light freezes. As much as I hated to, I had to admit, back in January, that I was cold. The rain had a lot to do with that.
I predict a drought to begin on the Texas Gulf Coast in a few weeks.
Still brown here, but I saw one lone bloom on a strawbwerry plant before the freeze this week.
I hope you are wrong about the drouth, but should read up on the el nino pattern, I guess.
Our Bradford Pear is starting to bud out too-not quite as far along as yours-probably means we will have some more nights in the 20's. That usually happens here-stuff starts budding out and then gets frozen.
I am also curious if the advertisement agency for the Scooter Store is the same one for Life Line?
The 'Free Personal Mobility Accessment' kinda rings a bell with 'Help! I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up'.
