<\/center><\/p>\nGood news:<\/strong> The nice people at Dayspring<\/a> want to give one of you fabulous people a $100 gift card. I know that a gift card like that would *TOTALLY* pay for my yearly Christmas cards. \ud83d\ude42 Go on over to yesterday’s post<\/a> for the Rafflecopter<\/a>.<\/p>\n Even better news:<\/strong> I figured out how to get my Desktop back after the [insert expletives] at the Evil Empire<\/a> decided that it would be a *FABULOUS* idea to put my laptop in tablet mode after doing the Anniversary Update. This makes my life *SO* much easier than it has been for the last 2-3 weeks because I have my desktop, my taskbar, and the ability to layer windows back. I’m trying to work through my intense fury before I send my feedback to the lackeys at the EE’s<\/a> headquarters in Redmond because they have MAJORLY<\/u><\/strong> inconvenienced me for the last few weeks.<\/p>\n So… today’s topic from “the cheater entry list” is ID bracelets for kiddos. If you have one who is non-verbal like my Daniel, this is important. These two are my favorite companies.<\/p>\n Road ID<\/a>: I discovered them two years ago and Daniel is on his second one. (We’ve moved a few times.) One feature I love is that you can get the Interactive version of the nameplate which puts a code on the back that a first responder can call into a 1-800 number and have access to every bit of your medical information so that they have all your medications and drug allergies when they’re taking you to the hospital. A lot of hikers, backpackers, and runners use them and the whole concept came when someone had an accident and couldn’t communicate with the first responders. Additionally, they let designate a charity to whom they’ll donate part of your purchase price (you can pick between around 9 of them). I seriously cannot say enough good about them and they have been wonderful in terms of customer service.<\/p>\n Alert Me Bands<\/a>: We switched to this one a year ago (before switching back to Road ID<\/a> after this last move) after a friend pointed it out to me on Facebook<\/a>. It’s a similar concept to Road ID<\/a> and the bracelet we had for Daniel was similar to this one<\/a>. (I added one in about Daniel being non-verbal and having asthma.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Good news: The nice people at Dayspring want to give one of you fabulous people a $100 gift card.
