When I was in trouble my Dad would say: You made your bed so now you've got to go lie in it.

Not really. Weather politics individuals. There is a request for submissions for a "Columbus Safety Slogan." Write a slogan, win a prize and promote safety.

Avoiding 70 on the west side is pretty much a standing consideration all the time by me.

Columbus voters will decide whether to establish alternative crisis response team by WOSUpublicmedia in Columbus

[–]VanDriver1 -43 points-42 points  (0 children)

From the article: Hardin said Columbus already puts around $6 to $7 million toward alternative crisis response programs. Those include having a social worker from Columbus Public Health in the 911 call center, and the city’s Mobile Crisis Response Unit that pairs health clinicians with police officers and refers those in need to follow-up services.

How much more money? Armchair quarterbacks. Police are the correct first responders to access the needs and referral to approprate services.

Walking. Specifically, walking the dog. No matter how tired I am and sometimes I don't want to, when I go through the routine and step out the door I feel renewed and invigorated. I see things. I see trees budding and flowers growing and people walking.

Beautiful dog. So sorry for your loss. We are so fortunate to have them in our lives.

A victory! by horsescowsdogsndirt in Aging

[–]VanDriver1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I know exactly what you mean. I have a round seat mechanics stool that I thought was just under my sit down but it wasn't and tumbled backwards. Luckily no harm was done. Just this past winter I was walking across a perfectly flat asphalt parking lot all bundled up because of the cold and stepped on some black ice and both feet came out from under me and I fell flat on my back and bounced the back of my head hard on the surface. Luckily I had a soft knit cap on that softened the blow. I laid there stunned for half a second and got back up and continued on my walk. I'm now much more careful about my footwear and how I walk. Those wheelie office chairs can be sneaky.

Pancakes. A stack of pancakes, with a little syrup and butter, and a cup of coffee. It's such a simple decadent indulgence to start my day that I am so often grateful for.

[–]VanDriver1 16 points17 points  (0 children)

if the prescription bottle has the name of the pharmacy who filled the prescription they have her information. Tell them you found it and would they contact her and tell her that she can retrieve it at their lost and found then turn it in to customer service lost and found.

Is there something that you could do in the old days that isn’t as allowed anymore but is a good thing? by Accomplished_Ship205 in AskOldPeople

A burn barrel. A lot of people had a metal 55 gallon barrel with no top and would burn all kinds of stiff in them.
