Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft have revolutionized the way we travel, offering convenience and accessibility. While these services have made transportation more efficient, accidents can still happen. If you find yourself involved or injured in a rideshare accident, it’s essential to know what steps to take to ensure your safety and well- being and protect your rights. Prioritize safety. Your safety and that of other passengers in the vehicle are paramount. Check yourself and others for injuries, and if anyone is hurt, call 911 immediately to request medical assistance. Move to a safe location. If it’s safe to do so, move away from the accident scene to a secure location, such as a sidewalk or parking lot. This will help prevent further harm caused by hazards or traffic. Contact the police. If the Uber or Lyft driver hasn’t already, call the local police to report the accident. Make sure an official report is filed, as this can serve as valuable documentation for insurance claims or legal proceedings. Gather information. Just like a typical car accident, it’s important to gather information from all parties involved, including the rideshare driver, other Accidents Happen STEPS TO TAKE AFTER A RIDESHARE ACCIDENT OCCURS
DIY GINGERBREAD ORNAMENTS ADD SWEET MEMORIES TO YOUR CHRISTMAS TREE
This year, many friends and families will set up their Christmas trees and work together to decorate them with their favorite ornaments. Some ornaments even have their own special meaning or associated memory that sends the entire group down memory lane. While this holiday nostalgia is wonderful, the problem is that many of these ornaments are old, from when kids were little, a married couple just started dating, or a group of friends first met.
People rarely add new decorations to the tree and create new memories to look back on in the coming years. But you and your loved ones can change that this year by making your own DIY cardboard gingerbread ornaments together!
All you need for this ornament is brown cardboard (from any box lying around), a white gel pen or marker, and string.
To make your “gingerbread,” you first draw out the shape of your ornament(s) in pencil on a piece of cardboard before cutting it out. Then, use your white marker or pen to add “frosting” designs. We recommend adding some of those traditional gingerbread frosting loops around the edges before going in and adding details.
Lastly, punch a small hole (you can just poke the pen tip through) on top of the cardboard on the ornament, feed the string through, and tie a knot at the top to make a loop. You can put the loop over a branch on your tree, and it will look like a freshly baked cookie is hanging there! If you want to make the ornament even more meaningful, have your kids, friends, or other family
members make themselves (or you!) as cardboard gingerbread people! They can add their hair, outfits, or anything else to their ginger-person design. Having everyone’s ginger selves hanging on the tree together will always remind you of the time you spent with them to create these decorations. The best part is they’ll never go bad, and you can reuse them every year!
