Why I hate America!

[RICHARD]

Richard i don't think America is alone in it's laziness, we down under are almost as guilty,if we are not it is because we just have not got all the fancy gadgets you have available to you,

If you look at a globe, you Aussies do have to fight gravity......

In Cah lee fuh nee ah, we have placeards that hang from the rear view mirror and do have plates that have the wheel chair logo on them.

The people that were renting the scooters were doing it so that way they would not have to walk the length of the casinos.....two football fields or about 200 meters.

Gosh, Kansas has caught up to date with Cah lee fuh nee ah!!! That's what we have. I personally have the placard and the plates for the car!

We recently got a Walmart Super center. It has lots of the scooters. While it would be a great help for me to use them, so far I refused. I don't want to get to the point I have to rely on them. For me, that's just one step nearer to a wheel chair and possibly a nursing home.

What cracks me up is seeing people with children park in the handicapped spots. Ok, some children may be a handicap but they were your choice. Don't make me pay for it!

I worked with a guy, and he took the elevator to the second floor most of the time. WHY, I would ask him, "You are so health conscious"?

He would reply,"I get my exercise at the gym, not at work".

I had to laugh. He was in super, duper fantastic shape. It was just not what he chose to do.

I am all for scooters, mobility devices, etc. For alot of people, they do help improve the quality of their life. It isn't up to me to decide how active they should be.

There but for the Grace of God, go I.

Sparks19, you have alot of phobias. Showers? Parking? Hope you aren't afraid of the baby! As for not taking advantage of the close in parking spaces? I salute you. At 39 weeks, in August, I was all over them like white on rice. Course, I needed them for the first 6 months, too, AFTER the birth.

LOL well the parking one is a well deserved phobia LOL.... I ... um... SORTA really banged up my moms car when I was a teen and it cost me a lot of money LOL and REALLY scarred me against driving.

As for the shower phobia..... I have had that since I was a small child. No idea why. I also have a thing against buttons hahaha.

As for being afraid of the baby.... thanks for your concern but I am not afraid of babies. Although I am sure I will be afraid that I am doing it wrong for the first little while.

I used to be afraid of babies! But then I talked to a surgeon who managed to explain it to my health plan. I got my wiring redone, and now I can enjoy their company... maybe not as much as anyone else, but I can!

I am, however, afraid of... homelessness. And polar bears, and being burned. I guess everyone has something.

Love, Columbine
