By definition, respite care is substitute care given so that the regular caregiver can take a break and get some relief from the burden of caregiving. Respite care can be for a weekend, a day, or even for an hour.

GMG Tech Talk-“Sure Android Universal Remote” App Is A Winner

Say you’re on the road and bring a DVD player to play Game Of Thrones On Your Hotel TV and you forget the DVD player remote.  On Android there’s a free app you can download to your cell phone “Sure Universal Remote”  Which acts as a remote for a ton of different brand’s devices.

Just to clarify- If you don’t get your hair wet during a Polar Plunge you didn’t do the Polar Plunge

And if you go around telling people you did a Polar Plunge if you don’t go under your shoulders you get double demerits and if you don’t go under your waist you get triple demerits and if you don’t go in under your knees you may as well not even discuss it. 

Come to Mexico with a Fun Crew!
