Dan (and wheelch...@aol.com) said what I would have said. I would add also that if they objected, I'd know not to ask them again (so, if its someone in my employ, they may not be employed much longer if they can't nicely and without noise do what I ask). If they ignored my instruction/request

I am always letting them know how I like it. I have 4 different workers and they all make oatmeal different tasting and thickness. They learn after awhile how you like things but for some reason bacon, oatmeal, and few other foods come out different with each worker. It drives me nuts. So, now,

Hi Bobbie, I do just like Dan. I let my helpers know what I prefer and why in a cordial manner for food and other needs and always thank them for each task and at the end of each visit, regardless of how long they have been with me. Sometimes a new helper may say "I know how to do this or that"

If you don't do the extra butt kissing, people won't make you sandwiches for very long. Mmmm great sandwich! Sure didn't expect to wear so much jelly. If ya think of it, next time, let's try it with more peanut butter and less jelly, Yogi. You can ask them that before they make it, just ask it

Hi John, I would caution anyone considering wet cell batteries or anything less then gel batteries as a dangerous move. When replacing batteries, look at what you have already and copy the name, make, model, amperage and specifications. This way, no matter which brand is purchased the si

If you pay for it you can get batteries a lot cheaper than DME's charge at places like Auto Zone or WallE world. Be sure to get no-maintenance deep cycle batteries. If you can get Medicare to pay 80% then your set. They only pay for new batteries once a year. If you don't fly, don't waste money

Hi All, OK, I have a question about food preparation. Let's say you'd like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich (or another kind of sandwich) that you can't make. Do you just ask for that sandwich and except it as it is made by the person making it? Or do you try and "instruct" how you prefer

You have nothing to lose by asking or looking. Remember your batteries must be AGM Gel and deep cycle. A wet cell battery would be much cheaper but dangerous to your health and cause harm to your chair. Make sure that you are able to let them see the exact battery you are using and whether
