WOO-HOO!!!


While you people torture yourselves, I got a whole box of Easter candy

Who's being tortured? I enjoyed the most delicious bar of sugar-free
chocolate today.

wondering how much it will take to completely push this **** over the

So we're thinking that he's a guy, but not a man?

What a maroon. So, do you believe for one minute that he won't morph
and come back?

I'm willing to put five quatloos on it. :-)

He was unsuccessful taking the ranting approach, and from what some
other posters have said apparently got reported to his ISP. Probably
decided we just weren't worth the trouble of having to swap ISPs. If
he morphs we'll be able to spot him fairly quickly - especially once
the spittle starts to fly. G

Take care,

Actually Sleepy is one of the reasons I stopped posting in My diabetic group..
One I have been posting in for two years. One that I used to find a lot of
support in, but got tired of the Atkins Berstein bashing. Even though, thru
Atkins and Bernstein I am able to maintain very good numbers, good control, and
made my Dr extreemly happy. So instead I only read and post over here, where I
have also been posting for aprox two years.

Jeanne, I could have sworn I read a couple of posts by you in ASD of
late. atstein is fair game, there as it is here. There are many ways
to accomplish the goal of, in my case, good results with my disease,
plus weight loss, and others just weight loss, using what works for
us. Low Carb is not a term that is wedded to atstein. Many paths lead
to the same terminus. And the animus shown toward those who do not
follow the atstein path, is uncalled for. Say what you will about ASD,
as much as we **** and moan, and go OT, and overreact to spammers, the
majority of the regular posters, and I am sure the legion of lurkers,
achieve outstanding results. Hope you are doing well!

Sleepy

Default You want PROOF - NOW HANDICAPPED PARKING

This is interesting. I have the same problem with my mobility.
Some days I could walk better then others.

Anyhoo...when I was with Mike sometimes we used to head to different
stores for a bit of shopping. He drove (naturally!!) and for a time
we got into a lengthy yet ongoing discussion of whether or not I
should get a disability permit for parking when we were in his car.
As I am on disability I saw no problem in my getting one but since I
*could* walk without the use of a cane or a device (albeit more slower
on some days then others) I was somewhat against getting one for the
simple reason I might be taking up a space needed by someone in a
wheelchair or a scooter.

After a few weeks of him and I bantaring this discussion around (I am
such a procrastinator on stuff like that) I decided to look into it
just to see what the requirements were. I found out if you could walk
into the store from a certain distance you were ineligible for a
disability parking permit. I *could* walk into a store from that
distance so one day in the Tracker I told him what I found out (I
*think* it was in the Tracker) and inside I was rather glad I could
NOT get a permit. I think I was even sitting in the car quietly
smiling about that after i had told him while he was driving. I would
*never* want to take a space from someone who truly needed it much
much more then I did because I didn't need it.

just wanted to share.

What infuriates me most is to see some able-bodied young punk (it's
usually teenage girls though) who borrowed Grandma's handicap
placard -- or
car with the hc plates -- and park in the handicap spot, then go
bopping
across the parking lot. I learned that by law in this state, the
police can't
question someone about the legitimacy of their handicap if they have
a
placard, unless there's a complaint. But I sure as heck can! I've
been
known to park bumper to bumper behind one of these clowns, blocking
them in
with my car, then taking my time shopping. (I figure I'm not going
to die
from being overweight or any blood sugar related illness; you'll
more
likely see my body on CNN after I'm shot in a fit of road rage by
somebody I
****ed off who was parking illegally in the handicap spot).


My wife has MS. She'll often park in the handicap spot and go
"bopping across the parking lot" into the store, because, after 10 or
15 minutes in the store, she knows its going to be a struggle to get
back to the car.

She doesn't use a cane (yet), and on many days her condition is
invisible. I understand how you feel, because I know we get
frustrated when we can't find a disabled spot, or another close spot.
However, before you go blocking someone in, imagine how you would feel
after getting out of the store with your legs feeling like cinder
blocks only to find that some &$#**%! has blocked you in. Oh yeah,
then the stress exacerbates the MS symptoms, then the bladder urgency
kicks in.

I'm not singling you out, as I totally understand your frustration.
I'm just hoping that people use a little common sense and compassion
overall, and understand that not all disabilities are immediately
visible.

-Rob
