Yes, or raise the money.

my mother was going to visit from az to il and travel by plane. the higher cost of fuel increased the cost of her ticket. she couldnt afford the ticket so cancelled her trip.the airliner lost her business and made no profit. multiply that enough times and theres a hefty loss to the company, business suffers.if we travel by car to her, the only value for us to drive to her instead is we'll have our own car to mosey around town. shes a spunky 78 years old and prefers to travel here than us to travel there. i'm pretty sure the gas spent to get there and back would about equal a ticket.

pay you receive while on vacation.  many companies require you to build up vacation time throughout the year and then require you to use that time if you wish to receive the monetary compensation.

This was an issue I ran into last year in Debate Team.  After research and deep thinking (I am by the way a strong proponent of small government), my debate partner and I came to the conclusion that legally and constitutionally (we became known as the Con-Law team) local governments should pay for local roads.  Regional governments should pay for regional roads.  State governments should pay for state roads.  Federal governments should pay for interstate roads.  This goes for other infrasructure as well.  City buses that are owned by the government should be paid for by the city, etc.  When each agency pays for itself a lot of government waste is eliminated in agencies crossing their boundaries.  Hope this helps!

GIGGLES, I WOULD TALK ABOUT HEALTH CARE FOR THE ELDERLY, MOST OF THEM CAN'T AFFORD IT, AND MOST SENIORS HAVE TO WORK, AND THAT IS NOT FAIR, THEY SHOULD BE ENJOYING THE LAST YEARS OF THEIR LIFE. OF COURSE I WOULD HAVE A SPEECH READY IF I GOT TO TALK FREE ON TV FOR 5 MINUTES. GREAT QUESTION THUMBS UP GIRL.

Find out if your church, community or local/county government offers "senior day-care" so you have some free hours for yourself to shop, do other chores or just relax.\nLocal "Meals-on-wheels"  will bring to your house prepared foods\nfor your senior., so you don't have to make some of their meals.\n    Or if medicare or health insurance will send a home nurse to your house to watch them for you, if they are house-bound. Even if this costs you some extra money, it is worth it , or you will burn-out & your health will go straight down the tubes\nHope this helps   :)

They are required to reimburse you for gas and parking and maybe pay for lunch while you are there.\n\nNot going to get rich, though.

If your mother is fit and healthy why would you not take your mother as well?\nYou obviously can afford to take your mother with you or you wouldn't be going on holiday a "few" times a year\nIt seems from writing the question that you do not accord your mother the same status as your family, you only have one mother and at 97 she isn't going to be around forever treat her as you would wish to be treated at that age by your own kids and have a complete family holiday

I think it depends on who ask who. If you ask a guy, you should be willing to pay for the ride. Or maybe you should just drive mom or dads car to save money. The prom is not that big of a deal. It is life after high school that is the real deal. He might not have the funds for a limo. Don't put him on the spot.

I would think that you have a good case to bring forth, but living in a mobile home park myself (in California) if your park is owned by a major corporation (such as ours) I don't know if you would have too much luck without taking a legal stance.  We, ourselves, are going through it with rent control issues (our park has raised our space rent $200 in the last 3 yrs) and it is terrible for seniors.  Prayers go out to you in Florida =)

Yes of course. But its kind of a lose lose situation. The tickets are more because of more pisrating so if the tickets where less they would compesate the cost some other way. (like a sitting fee)

If you're the one that offered the invitation, then you're the one that foots the bill.  Sometimes parents will end up paying for their own portion or sometimes the entire thing.  Just be willing and ready to pay for it yourself.

Probably at some kind of park or something but you will probably have to pay.

The best thing to do would be to ask them.\nIf they know there are people out there waiting to pay them money, it may influence their planning...

I'm not sure exactly what you mean or what you are asking. I'll give this a shot though.\n\nI think that the elderly should be treated with more respect than they get. Like how the Asian culture dote over their elders. That's the way it SHOULD be. However, I find that where I come from, that's not entirely true about the way elderly ARE treated.\n\nI'm in San Diego, CA. and see a lot of the elders treated unfairly in MANY situations. Youth do not give up their seats to them on public transportation the way that they should be. And no one thinks about actally helping the old woman across the street with her groceries. It's as if that's just a myth about how people USED to be. \n\nI find it offensive. I do what I can though to be a decent citizen when ever possible.\n\nI'm not sure if this answer helped you at all, but I'm hoping that it did. Good luck.
