several times my wife used the gps and it gave us a long way there, once we got there I realized I knew how to get there and knew a shorter route that would have knocked about 20 minutes off the time. A friend says the gps is connected to the government and gas prices, so when gas is up it gives you a longer route so you buy more gas... I believe it as mapquest does too, but you can drag the route and make it shorter ( which some people dont know )

Not true. Google and other competitors (Garmin, etc) paid for the satellites. Just like DirecTV and Dish Networks. I have Garmin (GPS) in my car. It is always accurate. No traffic info because it requires a fee so Google map with traffic info is better because it's free.
 
Why don't you tell her "bitch, if you don't call the company for me right now, but like RIGHT NOW, you gonna spend your senior years in the most shitty old folks home, capisce??"
then slap her silly for good measure.
that should do the trick.

lolol
not really, just watched The Godfather (all three), you get the gist :D

Oh yeah. it does show three different directions that you cn pick out, it will tell you if you avoid the TOLLS. If you knew that area then use common sense. you can always go to a different route then GPS will adjust to match where I was going. GPS rocks! For a long distance trip, i always have three different directions papers from the internet like google, mapquest and other so i can compare all of this. Simple as that.

I know that you were just kidding but there is some truth to the bolded statement.

Parents of adult children need to realize that there will come a time when the parent/child roles of care-giver and dependent may reverse. In the future, Mom might depend on Sonocativo for her care. How she behaves now might influence that care.

Some children overlook their parents' behavior and give them the best care anyway but some might use it as an excuse for neglecting their elderly parents.

Unrelated to your comment, I remember the funny movie, "Greedy" played by Michael J Fox and Kirk Douglas. In a sense, if one has been good to the elder, s/he could be on the elder's will, even though the elder has not been good to that person (in the past) who wants to take care of him/her because of money.

Shhhhhhhhhh. :aw: but you are right that it isnt worth the time to complain about everything. It is not easy to take an action on it to make lot of mistakes and learn the better or soemthing else.

That's good. He must learn to face the world like we, the deafies do. My hearing son/daughter can take care of themselves. Thank God! Even everytime I asked them if they need help, they say no. How the hell do they know what to do? INTERNET!

I remember that movie, that was a good one. M J Fox singing and dancing the Inka Dinka Doo a moment both horrible and funny

A comedy-drama, very well acted, and the plot wasn't too shabby either.

About halfway you could guess what was going to happen but that didn't matter much, since watching the movie was fun anyway.
