shais_mom -- I would never have thought you could make such a remark about the mentally ill when you know Nicole has stated that she has metal and social handicaps. That was very rude of you. Why would anyone laugh at handicapped people on a forum, how do you know there aren't other members here in the same position?

you are quite right I wouldn't say that I wasn't talking about NICOLE I was talking about the nasty woman that said that to her but thanks for thinking the worst of me
its pretty funny you are accusing me of this when I've thought several of your posts recently have been on the rude side.
must be YOU'RE conscious

gosh... I have depression (which could be a handicap), and Staci and I get along quite well, lol. I mean, I know she's not the devil incarnate (that's someone else we know... )

I think you guys took it out of context, or are being a little too defensive here.

The woman who was in the stall was in the wrong, but was a coward enough to just walk away and not allow a response. She's not worth your time getting upset about. She was just an unhappy person looking to spread her unhappiness.

Hold on here. I have nothing to do with what Shepgirl said. What she said to shais_mom is totally uncalled for. And if I in some way without knowing insulted shais_mom I apologize. When I posted about the stall to shepgirl it was because of what she wrote. No other reason. I am sorry you were made to feel badly. And I am sorry for that.

I find it interest that Shepgirl is defending the lady that was so rude to me when I and Sheena clearly did nothing wrong. That to me makes no sense.

I took her post as referring to the business woman and not Nicole...

Ditto.

[shais_mom]

Ditto.

thank you! I DID edit my post so there isn't any question now tho

[Jessika]

Yes, its blaringly obvious now hehe but even originally, why would a long-time member here be so outwardly rude to another member, when neither one are known for that type of behavior toward anyone else the whole time they've been here?

[shepgirl]

I guess I owe you an apology shaismom. The way you mentioned the disabilities made me think that you were singling Nicole out. Sorry for misunderstanding the post.

Nicole, nobody is defending anyone. I just need both sides of a story before slinging mud...it ends up back in our face when we least expect it.

If someone is interested in knowing why I thought the lady was in a handicapped stall with a right to be there you can pm me...I won't put this reason on a forum.

apology accepted.
I for one wasn't questioning the reasoning of the lady in the stall - when ya gotta go - ya gotta go - I would feel bad myself if I were in a handicapped stall and a handicapped person had to use a regular sized stall b/c I was in there. Sometimes I don't use them anyway b/c the toilet seats are too high for my short legs!

The lady had a 'right' to be in the handicapped ASSESSIBLE stall the same reason ANY one does...it is not a handicap ONLY stall- a term of exclusion, but, a handicap ASSESSIBLE stall, a term of inclusion. It means that it can accomodate someone that *might* need extra room. No one else is precluded from using it. Not even Nicole's doggie

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Handicapped or not she didn't have to be so unpleasant - there is enough nastiness in the world already

Amen, sister!

It wasn't the stall issue that bothered me. To me there was no issue there. I just saw someone was using it so went and used the smaller one. Same thing when I went to the focus group yesterday except instead of someone being in the stall the door was not on the stall. It was in need of repair. So agian Sheena and I used the smaller stall. Who cares. No big deal. She is trained for that. And so will Ajax. Lots of times the changing table is in that stall so it is not just for the handicaped either. I just see it as busy and use a different stall.

My problem was the fact that she came out, yelled at me, insulted my dog who was doing just as she was trained to do, and then didn't give me any chance to explain. That was the problem I had. I just wanted a chance to explain and i don't think I have a right to be yelled at like that. Thats all.
