    Selling My Car and VOLUNTARILY giving up driving due to my Peripheral Neuropathy was it for me. I sorely miss driving and the independence it affords. I have dreams about driving the car I sold.

    I can think of a few offhand. Divorcing my first husband when we had two little kids to consider; I still wonder if that was the right thing many years later.

    Having my little dog put down when he was suffering with cancer. I will never get over that day as long as I live; it still haunts me and makes me cry to think of it.

    Ugh, this is depressing. Kind of like "where my mind goes on sleepless nights."

    Turning away a druggie child, and no longer offering to help. I have had several very hard decisions to make in my life, but this one stands out the most.

    Get a job offer and a different job tells me "we like your experience/qualifications, but haven't made a decision yet". First job doesn't pay the best in wages and is further from where I lived, while the second job pays a much better wage and is much closer to where I lived.

    Decide to decline the job offer and wait to see if the second job will hire me. The second job found someone with better experience/qualification. Luckily, a couple of times. I called the job that I declined and told them I was available and want to work for them. They hired me . Then again, I declined one and did get hired by the better job.

    That will be my most difficult decision too, @Lon Tanner

    What would you use for transportation if that happens?

    I haven't really figured that out yet. With so many services becoming home delivered lately, I need to think about where I'd want to go that I'd need transportation for.

    I use Uber or Lyft when Oakmont or family is not available.
