Florida State Legislators Attempt Texting and Driving Ban One More Time
Despite being in the Southeast, some may regard the state of Florida as The Wild West of distracted driving. Many states have bans on texting and handheld phone use while behind the wheel, but Florida has no such laws on distracted driving. As a result Florida drivers are free to text and use their cellphones on the road. Some may even say that Florida drivers are also free to endanger themselves and others on the road.
As the danger of distracted driving becomes more recognized, Florida's lack ...

Mitigating the Financial Impact of Late-in-Life Divorce
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. divorce rate in 2009 was 3.5 divorces per 1,000 people.

However, the data may be skewed by the recent recession -- many would-be divorced couples have remained married for the financial benefits it provides.
Financial Challenges for Late-in-Life Divorce
Married couples who have been married most of their lives generally settle into retirement ...

The hope is that by focusing attention on these driver distractions, the number of accidents on the nation's highways will fall.
Distracted driving is a key concern for motorcyclists. After all, they have far less protection ...

Baby Boomers Currently Divorcing More Than Any Other Age Group
Once a marriage has survived for 20 years -- through all its difficulties, after raising children and building a career -- one would think the marriage could survive anything. Yet baby boomers are increasingly getting divorced, even if the marriage has lasted 20 years or more.
A study by the National Center for Family & Marriage Research at Bowling Green State University found the rate of divorce for people over 50 has doubled. Also, according to recent data from the U.S. Census Bureau, a quarter of ...

At a young age children rely on their parents for nearly everything they need, and they also begin to cultivate lifelong bonds with any siblings they may have. As they grow they form friendships with neighborhood children, classmates, as well as kids on their sports teams or any other organization they might be part of.
Each one of these relationships is essential to a child's growth and development, but one important relationship is ...

How to Spot When an Aging Loved One Needs Help
Asking for help is never easy, especially for an aging loved one used to being self-reliant. Yet as seniors grow further into their golden years, they may need a great deal of help keeping up with day-to-day tasks. But it's not uncommon for seniors to let basic needs go entirely unmet before they tell another person that they're no longer able and need help.
How do you help in such a case? It's important to avoid putting an elderly person on the defensive. "Elder Care Made Easier" author Marion Somers advises ...
