That, I don't know. Then again, she is 85 years old, so I don't really expect her to know everything.


Thanks. I appreciate it. Man, talk about Black Friday!

Another question. If your location says Washington DC, then why did you say Maryland?

I usually say Washington, DC because where I live in Maryland is actually a suburb of DC. I'd rather not say where exactly I live in Maryland, though.

That’s fine and I respect that, but was just wondering.

I dig.

I dig.

Just like how when I put New Hampshire, I do not put exactly where because I refuse to say.

I'm from Michigan's lower peninsula. That’s all I'm gonna say.

Sounds like your grandma has dementia setting in. After an episode like that, she might have to take another test to drive again (if it gets that far). I'm not trying to upset you any more than you are, but trying to lay out what her consequences might be.

For an 85 year old woman to drive to another state, total the car, that's not going to be an easy thing to shrug off. Her insurance may drop her, she might need psychiatric evaluation, maybe move into Assisted Living. None of which sounds nice, but could've been so much worse if anybody got hurt.

I'm aware of it. My mom said it did sound like the beginnings of dementia. My grandmother lives with my parents (and she's been living with my parents since my grandfather died in the 1970's). I know nothing about insurance, so I have absolutely no idea what's going on about that, but I don't think my parents are going to let my grandmother drive again after this.

This is also my maternal grandmother, for those of you who are curious.

My mom said to cook my own food when I can't even cook for myself because I don't know how to cook.

Ask her to teach you.
