Move over
My daughter takes nine different medicines during a typical day. Most are taken multiple times a day. Two of them need to be compounded, in other words, they are not "standard" meds and must be made especially for her. Our pharmacy was just shut down by the state Board of Pharmacy or whatever.

Sunlite
So I saw my son yesterday. He is in a residential program in another state, after the divorce he went with my wife, then she could not deal with him at home. I would have taken him, still want to, but I cannot logistically deal with two severely disabled children at home. It broke my

Need a lift?
After many years, we are changing the nanny. On her last day, I offered her the car she often borrowed, free. Of course she took it. The following week she came back to give me the license plates so I could take the car off my insurance. As she was leaving she handed me an

Fill in the gap
So, we need new jeans. We go to The Gap. All the girl’s jeans are low riders which, if you can imagine, can’t be comfortable if you sit in a wheelchair all day, and additionally, they allow your diaper to show. Not good when you are 16. Turns out that the boy’s jeans do not
