And that’s only part of the picture: Experts believe that for every case of elder abuse or neglect reported, as many as 23.5 cases go…

This Is What To Get Your Dad For father’s day-

You don’t have to spend a penny.

I am 100% certain that the best thing anyone can get their father is the gift of asking him what it is HE would like to do and then not making him feel guilty for letting him do it.

Very simple.

image

Most guys if they want something and can afford it, will go out and get it for themselves anyway.  If a guy wants to sit on the deck with a cigar and scotch, here’s a novel idea- Let him do it!

If the guy wants to sit around and watch the Red Sox, wait for it…….. Let him.

If the guy wants to go to the beach with the family, I know this is really outside the box thinking…………Go to the beach.

If he wants a nice dinner…….. make it happen.

Am I right fellas?
