After watching my dad leave in an ambulance this morning and my mum doing so in the near past, it makes me feel the pressure of time even more. Better make that "someday" more definite and "sh*t or get off the pot" before we lose our faculties to "drive 'em like we stole 'em". Sigh, I dunno, maybe those days are past too....  That is one helluva nice car. Seems to me the Yenko cars in any model are drool-worthy. |

Thanks guys. Yes, Dad fell getting out of bed at 3:30 this morning. He is spending the night in the hospital, looks like. Seems he's had an undiagnosed stroke of some sort in the last 1-6 weeks. His driving days are most likely over which is a good thing, but it's gonna be a real change for mum and dad's lives. I have to get ahead of it so I don't become their chauffeur too....

Sorry to hear about your dad Don. Getting old sucks.
Lots of options in Ladysmith for seniors who don't drive. The Ladysmith Resource Center has a volunteer driver's program where seniors who have doctor's appointments anywhere can arrange before hand to get a ride to their appointment and back. Grocery stores now have phone in services to deliver a shopping list of groceries to seniors homes. Many more senior's programs like handi dart etc etc.

With the cost of ICBC these days it's probably cheaper to have someone else do the driving if it's only short trips a couple of times a week.

Oh well, we lived in Brampton for 5 years a few years ago and our auto insurance was through the roof. It was a huge relief when we came back to bc. I don't know if it was the type of traffic in the Golden Horseshoe or what but we paid way more there than we did when we moved back.
