Hi all, I have done several things to make my house more liveable such as installing motion detector light switches in basement, utility room and hallways. I never again have to enter a dark area and fumble for a light switch or pull chain. I also use generous night lights with 7watt bulbs which turn on at night. One of my most difficult tasks is simply changing light bulbs. My neighbors have been generous in helping. I now use long lasting light bulbs and compact flourescents which are advertized as lasting several years. I installed a wireless door bell with chimes in different parts of the house so I don't miss someone at the door. My Old English Sheep Dog "Gus" thinks this is exciting and responds with vigor. Though my porch is only two steps up, I am having a hand rail installed to provide a solid handhold. I don't do steps very well. I use a minimum of throw rugs and hope to eliminate some falls. "Lowes" carries most of these helpers. Other home repair/supply places should also. I am sure there are many other ways to assist in some of the problems PD causes in our routine activities which are often taken for granted. My best, Ira
