RN i am not a happy camper. there are not enough handicap parking spaces around my building so i am stuck today on a 2 hr. meter. i cannot always get down there in time to replenish it before the meter maid zaps me. and, it is very time consuming and tiring for me to even walk all that way. so, now i have a $10 ticket for being 15 minutes late with my quarters.

RN, Cnd, call your city and beg off...I'm sure that they will forgive that ticket. If they don't, they should be ashamed.

RN, Cnd I often find myself with the same problem. I have become quite vocal since I became disabled. I stop people and remind them that the space is not there for their convenience. I have spoken to more managers in more stores that you can imagine. City planners too. I do this not for myself but for the people who are too shy or too ashamed. Laws are different for county, city, state, or private property. I encourage you to write the people responsible for making the laws and enforcing them. I also would write your local paper. A lot of times there are several people in the same situation who may have contacted them. If that is the case, a good reporter can find out a wealth of information and print it. Having all the facts will help you be more productive in public awareness. (Can you tell this is a sore spot with me? I think I hid it well! LOL!)

RN I want to throttle a few 7th graders. What is it with that age group? They can't not cause trouble for 40 minutes?? RN I could probably drink a nice tall something of alcohol every night this week after work!! RN I have my oh so fun yearly woman's visit to the doctor this afternoon. I hate it, but it has to be done.

RN: Speaking of handicap spaces, what should one do in the instance of a "handicap" stall. There was a long line at the mall last weekend and as soon as the handicap stall opened up a woman in a wheel chair came from near the back of the line and went in front of everyone else in line to use that stall. Someone gasped and the women replied "this stall is here for my use, just a handicap parking space" This was in front of two really pregnant women and a toddler doing the "pee pee dance" What is the right etiquette?

RN, IMO that's a tough question. She doesn't have the option of using any other stall, so even if the lines are shorter at the other ones she has no alternative. The pregnant women and the "pee pee dance" are complicating factors.

right now, handicapped parking spaces are marked. if the bathroom stall is NOT marked as being handicapped only, it is for the use of anyone. such as: elderly people with walkers, women with children, people like me (who need extra room, cuz i can't get my pants down in the other dinky stalls, etc etc. if it ain't marked, it ain't exclusive.

RN: To me the solution would be as it gets to be her turn in line, say there are three stalls, two people in line in front of her, she gets to go as soon as that stall opens up. I don't feel that she should have got to bypass standing in line. Besides, in a lot of restrooms the baby changing table is located in the handicap stall with a sign on the door depicting that it is inside as well as a handicap placard. Who gets preference then? IMO, whoevers first in line.

Right Now: Thought for the day: There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.

RN concerning the handicap stall: No matter what, a handicapped person should be clearly given "first dibs" on the handicap stall. Not even a pregnant woman, someone needing the changing table or a 2 year old should go ahead of that person. Life is hard enough for that person. There should not even be a question about it.

RN, I'm so sad that Charlie Gibson is leaving Good Morning America. He did say he would still be around a lot, but it still won't be the same. RN, on a happier note, today is my Friday. I'm going to Port Arthur for my niece's wedding this weekend. I made the corsages, boutenniers (sp?), bouquet, maid of honor bouquet, head pieces for the little girls and pew markers and I'm so hoping she will like them.

RN I agree with Mocha and Julie regarding the handicap stall. While anyone else in line can hop into any stall that becomes available, theres usually only one or two handicap stalls available. If theres a changing table in the handicap stall parents with kids in diapers have to use them too, but for the most part that stall is for handicap use. We found out there were too few handicap parking spots this weekend. I can't tell you how often we had to pull up to the front doors to get Darren's mom out of the car because there was no place close by to park and that also meant unloading and putting together her little motorozied scooter right there in the way of traffic.
