@rca- It was my experience with my husband that if I gave a great big smile to someone with a "tude" they would change their "tude" toward my husband being slow, or looking different. Attitude is a powerful thing! You can use it to your advantage and change the way people think and react.

If you don't live too far away from the beach perhaps you can hire a car for the day? Do you belong to any clubs that have other people who might want to join you?

Yes, I hired uber or lyft to take me and met someone there who was with a dog too. I also went to the Lake on Sat. with a former employee and he charged me to drive me there. Not the same as being with family or friends who understand YOU. Some of these people don't speak English, can't find you even with navigation. If you didn't have your husband, you'd me struggling too.

Everything sounds simple but it's not at all.
