Prayers For Driving Situation


Posted: May 13, 2012

I would like to ask for prayers for my step-mom who is going for her driver's license renewal tomorrow.  She has macular degeneration but drives daily with no problems.  Since her eye doctor filled out a form for the DMV with her vision results on it, she has been told it will not meet the requirements to renew her license, but she is going to try anyway.

She is an independent lady and does so much for others.  If she doesn't get her licensed renewed I'm afraid she will go into an awful depression.  She doesn't want to depend on anyone else to drive her.  I know the DMV has their rules to abide by and macular dengeration is something that doesn't improve, but only worsens, but she does so want to continue driving locally for a few more years to help others with their needs.

Thank you.

I once knew a man whose field of vision was narrowing so much that he couldn't see you if you were standing beside him rather than in front. Yet he still had a driver's license and drove daily in a very, very busy community full of tourists and young male drivers! I never, ever accepted a ride from him. Thankfully, he didn't take out any pedestrians or other motorists before he started leaving the driving to his wife.

I REALLY understand the desire to keep driving, living as I do at least 6 country miles (55 mph speed limit roads, missing shoulders) from the nearest bus stop and still 4 months too young for dial-a-ride.

But sometimes, the kindest thing you can do for others is to stop driving.

My DH Is Driving Me Up A Wall.Jul 02, 2010
He is supposed to be on a cardiac diet and takes Coumadin. He is a meat-and-potato man. No matter what I want to make for dinner, he balks. This has been going on for a couple years now. He won't eat green veggies because of his Coumadin; i.e., green beans, peas, salad greens, celery, cabbage, brussel sprouts, green peppers, etc. He, all of a sudden, hates rice, brown rice and wild rice especially. He'll only eat white rice with hamburger gravy. He won't eat pasta unless it& ...

My Back Seat Driving FriendsOct 25, 2015
I have a friend and she has 3 kids. I love to take them places and enjoy activities but there is a huge barrier and I do not know how to handle this. I have driven for years and years, never had an accident much less a major one. I have had probably 4 tickets in my life, years ago also, most for speeding, none in the last say 10 years. The woman and her daughter are terrible back seat drivers. I can truthfully say I have never had people to ride with me that act like they do. Yesterday I took th ...

The impact of dissolving the ACA will be far reaching everywhere, jobs lost.  I wish we could come together as Americans and just begin fixing the more glaring deficiencies in the program we already have.  I think a public option would be a good start.  This should have been in the original bill but politics and the insurance lobbyists got in the way.  Ultimately, single-payer like the rest of the civilized world is my preference. ...

NYC Mayor De Blasio Blasted Over Drunk-driving CommentFeb 03, 2017
Big Bird should be called Bird Brain.

DeBlasio was asked on CNN about New York’s stance as a sanctuary city and its refusal to turn over illegal immigrants who commit minor offenses. He said that he did not want to “see families torn apart” over something very minor. He was asked if he considered gran ...

Okay, I have an issue here. My mom come into some money a few months ago. She knew how I LOVED VW Beetles, so she took me to pick out a nice used one, and I did. I got a red 2010 VW Beetle. The one stipulation she had was my husband could not drive the car unless I was with him. He doesn't take care of his truck and so she said he wasn't allowed to drive it without me in the car. Well, today he came home and said I don't have any gas in my truck so I'm gonna have to tak ...

I live in a semidetached neighborhood and the neighbors on one side constantly burn a fire pit with wood pallets and whatever in it all the time at least 4 to 5 times a week.  Well our cars next door are covered with ashes from their fire pit and we have new cars.  We have talked to them about this but it does not good.  Any sugestions.  It isnt even worth washing these cars anymore and also you need to keep your windows closed because all the smoke comes in the house.  ...

My son called me today to disinvite me to dinner at their house this evening.  He said his GF was still upset and felt like he didn't defend her.  He told me he was trying to be neutral, but she took as he was on my side and now they've been fighting.  So now I'm banned until she "cools off."  All because I said he was too young for a vasectomy.  I also said she was too young to get her tubes tied, but whatever!  When I expressed concern about being a ...

Need Some Advice About A Family Situation. SMAug 06, 2014
Six months ago, I filed for divorce. At that time, my daughter and I moved in with my sister and her family at my sister's invitation. I did not ask to move in and was going to stay with my mother until I found a place to rent, but my sister offered and since my sister lives in the same small town as I do, close to my daughter's school and friends, I accepted. So my 13yo daughter and I moved in with my sister, brother-in-law, and 20yo nephew. Everything was going fine. I was paying t ...

How Does The FBI Investigate An Ongoing SituationMar 22, 2017
I understand how the FBI investigated Clinton's use of email. That was in the past by the time they got involved and there were records, people, and documentation they could look into. How does the FBI investigate an ongoing situation, like the Trump campaign's involvement with Russia, without surveillance? If they're not monitoring communications, how could they say there is no evidence of collusion? If the FBI is involved (as we know they are) then Obama's Justice D ...

If The Border Situation Isn't Brought Under ControlJun 11, 2014
Make no mistake.  The Cantor defeat last night was a wake-up call to ALL the politicians who think they'd like to push immigration reform while the absolute calamity on the border goes unchecked. Republicans who cave to amnesty will suffer, but no less so than Democrats who mistakenly believe that Americans don't care about the influx of illegals along the southern border. What happened to Cantor wasn't a "Republican" thing.  It was a response to the catastrophe that i ...
