Becoming Independent with Mobility Electric Scooters

No need to feel disabled any longer. Advanced mobility electric scooters can provide independence for the handicapped, disabled or elderly.

There has been much advancement in the field of wheelchairs, specifically mobility wheelchairs. But now there is something even more versatile, mobility electric scooters. When it comes to the elderly or handicapped mobility scooters may be the best thing since sliced bread.

In the past disabled persons would lose out on many uplifting activities. But with the innovations in mobility scooters, the elderly and handicapped are not feeling quite as old or as feeble as they once were. Why? When you can get around almost as well as active healthy people you can return to being a part of the family or community. Independence is once again your ally. The ability to get around the house or out in public once again can be a major boost in a persons self worth. No more dependence on others to perform common everyday tasks.

Motorized electric scooters for people with a handicap are fast becoming the way of the future. With technological advances being made with regard to electric mobility scooters it’s no wonder they have taken the disabled world by storm. It’s a thrill seeing a 90 year old man walking his dog with the help of a mobility electric scooter, something that he wouldn’t have been possible just a few short years ago. But now there is practically nowhere a person can’t go with the help of an electric motor scooter.

There are gas motor scooters and electric motorized scooters, but for the handicapped gas scooters are out and electric is in. No need for gas, just plug it in for a recharge and then off you go with full independence once again. These wonderful scooters are getting faster and lighter. Plus, the scooter batteries have drastically improved, allowing much longer periods of driving without the need for a recharge. Wouldn’t it be nice being able to scoot around all day without the need for a charge?

Another advantage of mobility electric motor scooters is the cost. They are not only becoming increasingly less expensive, but if a person is disabled or handicapped it may even be possible to have Medicare or other medical insurance pick up some or all of the tab.

When purchasing an electric scooter be sure to take it for a test drive before buying. The most important thing is making sure that your motorized scooter is comfortable. By purchasing a comfortable scooter it’ll be a pleasant drive anywhere you go. Another consideration is the cost. If at all possible have your health insurance company pay for part of the price. But even if you have no insurance it is well worth the price. No price can be put on being independent and mobile, especially if you’ve been laid up for awhile.

One of the many options available in mobile electric scooters is their number of wheels. There are models that have either 3 wheels or 4 wheels. The 3 wheel scooters are typically lighter in weight. The 4 wheel models are typically heavier, but may be a little better balanced when going quickly around a turn. Two wheels in the front make for a more stable vehicle around sharp corners. Once again, it is wise to test drive before buying.

There are many different options including colors, sizes, weights, number of wheels, battery capacity and the types of seats. If chosen carefully an electric scooter can become one of the best purchases ever made for the handicapped, disabled or elderly.

Should I Buy a Mobility Scooter or a Power Chair?

If you experience mobility difficulties and would like to become more

independent, then choosing to purchase a mobility scooter or power chair is

probably the first thing on your list. But how do you know which one you

need? Should you purchase a mobility scooter or a power chair? By knowing

what benefits come from owning each, you can make an informed decision and

ultimately choose the mobility device that will better suit your individual

needs.

As far as maneuverability is concerned, both mobility scooters and power

chairs are easy to navigate and both give you much more independence to go

where you want or need to go without the help of others. When you are

considering the space that it takes to turn, however, there is a slight

difference in the two. A power chair, for example can turn on a radius as

small as 18 inches, while most mobility scooters require 32 inches for

turning. If space is a major concern, then you may find a power chair more

beneficial. Power chairs and mobility scooters can both be very easily

navigated through narrow hallways, thresholds, and uneven surfaces,

although if you are planning outdoor activities, you should consider that

there are 4 wheel versions of mobility scooters that are ideally designed

for outdoor use.

For adjustability to maintain your ultimate comfort, both power chairs and

mobility scooters are very well designed. On a power chair, the armrests,

footrests, and seat can all be adjusted and angled to a position that will

allow you to find the most comfort. On a mobility scooter, you can adjust

the seat and handlebars also, although you may not have as many adjustment

options available.

If you are concerned at stability and safety in using a mobility device,

rest assured that both a power chair and a mobility scooter are perfectly

safe and you can set maximum speeds if it makes you feel more comfortable,

so that you are always traveling within your comfort zone. Most power

chairs, in addition, are equipped with wheels that protect against tipping.

Many mobility scooters also have safety features installed, such as wheel

locks, so that you can feel completely safe when using them.

Ultimately the decision on whether to purchase a mobility scooter or power

chair will depend on your personal preferences, areas of concern, and your

individual needs. Either mobility device will help you tremendously in the

act of becoming more independent and getting around better than you could

without them. Whichever device you decide on, make sure that you have

researched all possible models to ensure that you have chosen the mobility

device that will benefit you most, in terms of features, functionality, and

budget.

Is being on AUTOSHIP causing you to go broke?

Autoship

Autoship OK OK… so your in a great program.
Your selling something that everyone should have. You LOVE IT!!
Your upline is telling you that to maximize the comp-plan
you have to be on autoship.

BUT>>>> you can’t get many people to see that this is the greatest
business opportunity to come along…
At least NOT fast enough before you go broke trying.
So your spending your minimum autoship amount of about $75.00 a month.
But your earning less than $10.00 a month in commission. To make it even
worse… the company will not release a check for less than $20.00.

ON TOP OF ALL THAT……. What do you do with all that “stuff that your storing
because you are on autoship? Sure you love it but how much can you use in a month?
Any of that sounds familiar?????

I use to do that. I am still storing stuff that I got because I did as I was told
and went on autoship. I don’t sot hat any more. I have not done that in a very long time.
Doesn’t it make more sense to pay a one time fee and build your business from that?
I am in a business that has been paying it’s members for over 17 years.
There are in over 150 countries. Knowing those facts I feel very secure that
they will be here for many years to come.
I am in F5M-Millionaires Club.


With F5M-MC you have your choice of 3 entry levels..
Bronze   $5.00
Silver      $49.95
Gold       $199.00
When you join at the Bronze level you are working your way up to the Silver and
then onto the Gold level.
People pick and choose what it right for them.
To me it just makes sense to start a business with a one time fee with
no autoship or “stuff” to store and grow your business forward from there.

Growing up without a cell phone

I got this in an email from a friend of mine. I thought it was so cute and TRUE  I just had to share it with you.

Those were the days

If you are 30, or older, you might think this is hilarious!

When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning…. Uphill… Barefoot… BOTH ways¦ yadda, yadda, yadda

And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on my kids about how hard I had it and how easy they’ve got it!

But now that I’m over the ripe old age of thirty, I can’t help but look around and notice the youth of today.  You’ve got it so easy!  I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia!
And I hate to say it, but you kids today, you don’t know how good you’ve got it!

I mean, when I was a kid we didn’t have the Internet.  If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the damn library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalog!!

There was no email!!  We had to actually write somebody a letter – with a pen!   Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox, and it would take like a week to get there!  Stamps were 10 cents!

Child Protective Services didn’t care if our parents beat us.  As a matter of fact, the parents of all my friends also had permission to kick our ass! Nowhere was safe!

There were no MP3′s or Napsters or iTunes!  If you wanted to steal music, you had to hitchhike to the record store and shoplift it yourself!

Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio, and the DJ would usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up!  There were no CD players!  We had tape decks in our car…  We’d play our favorite tape and “eject” it when finished, and then the tape would come undone rendering it useless.  Cause, hey, that’s how we rolled, Baby!  Dig?

We didn’t have fancy crap like Call Waiting!  If you were on the phone and somebody else called, they got a busy signal, that’s it!

There weren’t any freakin’ cell phones either. If you left the house, you just didn’t make a damn call or receive one. You actually had to be out of touch with your “friends”. OH MY GOD !!!  Think of the horror… not being in touch with someone 24/7!!!  And then there’s TEXTING.  Yeah, right.  Please!  You kids have no idea how annoying you are.

And we didn’t have fancy Caller ID either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was!  It could be your school, your parents, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, the collection agent… you just didn’t know!!!  You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!

We didn’t have any fancy PlayStation or Xbox video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics!  We had the Atari 2600!  With games like ‘Space Invaders’ and ‘Asteroids’.  Your screen guy was a little square!  You actually had to use your imagination!!!  And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen… Forever!  And you could never win.  The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died!  Just like LIFE!

You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! You were screwed when it came to channel surfing!  You had to get off your ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel!!!  NO REMOTES!!!  Oh, no, what’s the world coming to?!?!

There was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning.  Do you hear what I’m saying? We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled little rat-finks!

And we didn’t have microwaves.  If we wanted to heat something up, we had to use the stove!  Imagine that!

And our parents told us to stay outside and play… all day long.  Oh, no, no electronics to soothe and comfort.  And if you came back inside… you were doing chores!
And car seats – oh, please!  Mom threw you in the back seat and you hung on.  If you were lucky, you got the “safety arm” across the chest at the last moment if she had to stop suddenly, and if your head hit the dashboard, well that was your fault for calling “shot gun” in the first place!
See!  That’s exactly what I’m talking about! You kids today have got it too easy. You’re spoiled rotten!  You guys wouldn’t have lasted five minutes back in 1980 or any time before!

Regards,
The Over 30 Crowd

You Have To Add In That Prior Finance Charge

Overwhelming Debt I have done several posts about John Cummuta’s Debt to Wealth System.

I’d like to point something out that some of you may not be aware of. When you are listing your monthly bills and you get to the credit card bill or “MANY CREDIT CARD BILLS” you really should be adding another line that says finance charged LAST MONTH.

That finance charge should be listed separately so that you can “see” that your not gaining on getting rid of that debt if you just INCLUDE it.

John Cummuta has a very informative and beneficial program. It is not Rocket science but it is a way to get a handle on overwhelming debt.
Take action and control of your overwhelming DEBT.

Do you play Moola?

MoolaI have posted before that I like to farm in FarmTown. I named my farm “Critter Haven Farm” I not only have a beautiful farm house and a big barn but I also have an animal hospital to take care of the sick and the injured.

I enjoy spending time on my farm, It helps me get organized… no matter how silly that sounds.

I really dread going to the market to hire help. It is so sad that the market is so full of beggars. I refuse to hire beggars.

I will carry on a conversation with myself or with Tom if no one speaks to me.

I recently found a new game to play online. I have been having a lot of fun with it too.

Play Moola

Gotta Love that Bobby Sinclair

Lush Lawn

Young Bobby Sinclair is a businessman. He will do well in life because he not only has a good head for business but he is also a hard worker. Bobby Sinclair knows that to make money he has to work at it. Bobby has a bit of an inside edge, he knows where there is money to be made.

Actually Bobby Sinclair is like that fisherman story I posted before… He knows where the fish are.

Bobby Sinclair is the new very young spokesperson for TruGreen® Lawn. Those commercials are so cute. Bobby knows where to fish for his lawn maintanance business because he knows where the TruGreen® people are.

It is a chain reaction.. the TruGreen® people start the process by preparing the lawn to be healthy and beautiful and grow lush and green. Bobby Sinclair has found his niche. He has stepped in and offered a solution to the problem of maintaining a beautiful lush lawn.

TruGreen® wins because they get business. They treat the lawns so that the grass grows BEAUTIFULLY. The neighbors ALL want to have lawns that grow so lush and green. Bobby wins because he works hard to maintain those lawns.

Is there any lessons to be learned from Bobby Sinclair and TruGreen®?

Are you an “End Cap” Shopper?

Target

My favorite place to end cap shop is at Target. They have the best sales. The end caps that have sales are very clearly marked with a big red sign that says CLEARANCE. Items there will be anywhere form 15% -75% off.

I like the health and beauty items at target that are put on the end caps because they are not good sellers or perhaps they are getting different packaging. To me it does not matter the reason what matters to me is that they are marked with a good discounted price and I probably have a coupon for it. Stuff I would never normally buy if it is a real bargain and I get  EXTRA off with a coupon… who would leave it on the shelf? Not me!

Since I am always being asked to donate for a cause I pick up great items at Target when they are 75% off. I have a closet full of items that I bought just for this reason.

Odds and ends can be picked up and packaged together in a basket for gift giving. Assorted items but with a theme.

Since Cheap is my middle name I love to End Cap shop at Target.
Where is your favorite place to End Cap shop?

Kleenex Hand Towel Dispenser

Kleenex New Hand Towel Dispenser 

Have you seen the new product that Kleenex has come out with? It is one of those head slappers… Why didn’t I think of that????

It is a paper towel dispenser that you sit on top of your hand towel bar. It is designed so that it hugs the wall and pointed so it fits between the bar and the wall. Towels are able to be easily dispensed from the bottom when you pull.

The design is just like you see in public restrooms everywhere, but no drilling is required.

I thought they were high in price but cheap me had a coupon for them so I thought what the heck and I splurged.

I love it!! Now I know when this is empty they want me to buy a new box. Me being the cheap person that I am I am just going to unglue the bottom and reinsert my own towels. I can probably pick them up at GFS.

I wish I would have designed that thing. The concept is so simple… but what a great idea.

Peter Noone

Peter Noone

Anyone see Peter Noone last week on Mike Huckabee? He was just as cute as he was years ago. I saw him several years ago in Detroit. It was when the Red Wings had just won the Stanley Cup. He mentioned that he was a hockey fan and “How about them Red Wings?”   The crowd loved it because we are very proud of our Red Wings.

Peter Noone of course is the lead singer of Herman’s Hermits.

Gosh.. I loved those guys.

Not sure what my favorite song would be of the many that they did but just a few would be..
Mrs.. Brown you’ve got a lovely Daughter
I’m Henry the VIII
As I think about it, perhaps my favorite would be, What a Wonderful World this would be. My toes are tapping just thinking about it… Don’t know much about His-tory, don’t know much trigonometry.. but I do know… you know the one. Yup I can hear you singing it now.

Just thinking about those great toe tapping songs makes me want to smile. whatever happened to this happy music?
