Most everyone has seen those Progressive Insurance commercials where Dr. Rick, a self-help counselor, works with first time home buyers who seem to be turning into their parents.
While Rick is not a real doctor, and "parentamorphosis" is not a real thing, but the ads are spot on.
They've covered overplanned outings, oversharing personal things in doctors' waiting rooms, trying to help total strangers park their cars and how to put one's mobile phone on silent.

The Elm Grove Community, and many people across Nash County, are mourning the loss of an incredible lady. Robin Baines Strickland passed away Wednesday, August 16th.
Some may remember Robin from the days of People's Hardware in downtown Nashville which was owned by multiple generations of her family.
Some may know her from the local business she and her husband have operated for many years in downtown Nashville, Strickland Land Surveying.
