A nice day for a ride…….hmmm……

Oops, I goofed. That website is http://www.takl.com.

Sheba, what really hurt my feelings last week is when Sam said she was packing to move within 9 days. If I just lost my husband, that is one thing I would not do. This is the home we shared. This is the home where we had minor spats and would make up. This is the home where we took care of each other. His soul would be here along with his smells, his words, his comfort. I know her family is in another State and I realize she is really alone, but this decision is too fast. Sounds like her husband’s family reached out. She should take a deep breath and wait 6 months or so. Then again, whom am I to say what one should do.

jollyjelly and lady4peace, the name of the organization that Kathie Lee Gifford advertises is called TACKL. The organization is on line at http://www.tackl.com. It is not in every state nor in many communities.. However, all you need to do is to go to their website, check one of the boxes that best suits your need and then you will be asked to enter your zip code. They give an approximate price for the job before you set it up. Sounds like a good service, but, can be quite expensive for some.

In my community in Florida, we have a bulletin board where we can attach notes asking for help in cleaning, cooking, grocery shopping, etc.. Maybe there is one where you live and you can do the same. Another place is your local supermarket. They also have a bulletin board. And for yard work, or handymen, your local Lowe’s, Home Depot, or lumberyard may have bulletin boards where people can attach their business card. And, you can check out their skills and business and have an opportunity to read some reviews on line as well

Thanks Sheba. Been on line with computer and Kindle almost the entire day. Just Saw the thread from Sam and answered her as well. Hope she is still on line.

Lady, people mean well, but when push come to shove, they maybe busy when you ask even days in advance. There are many people out there that will work two or three hours per week or more. Home health aides, homemakers, etc.. Many organizations are listed on line and can be googled. If the service is too high, you can ask if they offer something less. Your place of worship may know people who can offer the assistance you need. Your physician is another resource. I hope these suggestions help in someway.

I’m just starting August——are you??? 🙂
