And I do not want to be driving in that situation . The reason I ask is some days I feel like I can function enough to do most of the needed tasks (but pay for it later) , and I do not want to totally give up the independence . My wife works part time and my youngest child is going back to college this Fall so I will be here alone quite a bit . We live in a very rural area and there is not any public transportation available . Just wanted to get some thoughts , or ideas on this matter . Thank you all !
