I got a card in the mail from my aunt it came the day after my birthday for my kids and me. I got a car with it and my son is all ready asking me if he can practice for his driver's test. I haven't got it lincened yet. We have needed it for over a year now. It is going to opena lot of doors for us.

Yes it was. I was so happy to get it because I had to walk everywhere to get what I need for our house. I guess people my have thought it was cute seeing me and five kids walking down the road packing groceries to the house. Lol.

What's abnormal about walking to and from the shop? Don't people walk in America?

Here where I live everything is spaced apart making walking a job. Car flighing up and down the road make it hard with kids. We walk just makes it easyer to put your 15 bags of grocies in the trunk of the the car than walking with them down the road. Winter is coming also I like the heater. Lol. Or we could just be lazy Americans. You pick one and go with it. Lol.

In most places the answer is: not if they can help it.
Other places (Los Angeles being the capitol of this, but thousands of suburban areas followed them) are designed/planned to actively discourage it. In LA there are lots of things where if you are on foot (or bike) you literally 'can't get there from here.' That, and LA cops will slow down to roll on you, since if your walking in LA you must be guilty of something else too. In LA, walking around - openly advertising that you don't have a car - is the equivalent of walking anywhere else without pants on. It gets you noticed, and by all the wrong people at that.
There are a few places, either by design and/or geography, that are real 'walking cities' - Boston, New Orleans and lower Manhattan. And there are places that have OK public transportation and where parking is so bad that you are discouraged from driving, like metro Chicago. And a few places with both - like San Francisco. There are a lot of college/university towns that are designed and built for use by humans as opposed to cars, but that kind of visionary thinking is confined to the academic area (the campus, student housing, student services and business) and rarely extend past that area.

That is really good news. I've been trying to follow your posts since you joined. I still recall the uterlly charming video of your daughter and son. Your progress has been great. You're getting there. It's so good to know you have family helping you out.
Thanks for the update. If I don't respond to your posts more often, it isn't because I haven't read them.

@spacial, thanks
I never thought that I would get to where I am but I am here. This year has been filled with ups and downs but I made it.
