We had to get a small step ladder for me to use around the house ... since we're both vertically challenged

Seriously though, I've taken it upon myself to check on all cars parked in the disabled parking zones for permits...one day, a feral-looking woman was parked there, smoking away, and when I asked her if she had a permit ... she replied "do you have a badge?" and immediately started her car whilst waving her middle finger at me so I did the most sensible thing and shouted "F*ck off Bitch" - it did seem appropriate at the time LOL

Oh please don't do that. This one time, when I just finished parking, a man came up to my window holding up a permit, pointing to it banging on my car, and screaming profanities in another language. I pointed at my permit then opened my back door so he could see my chair, and called him a retard. Similar scenarios have happened to me a bunch of times. I guess I look like a guy who likes to hijack handicapped parking spots. I also got accused of having a fake permit by Toronto parking police...but that story isn't as PG-13

The only reason I asked her is coz she didn't have a permit on the dashboard... The point is, if you have a permit, just display the damn thing...

Actually, strangely enough, when I was up in Toronto last, I had a similar problem. Granted I was a 'foreigner', but I was accused of being a fake cripple lol.

The answer is none. We just sit in the dark. Alone. ;D Now Phil; don´t you read my posts? ;D Here at Hotel Windrider there'll always be a light on for ya' Oh, how nice! Good to know there´s a light on for me - I´m quite worried about global warming though, so please use a low-energy light bulb I´ll light a light for all the nice wheelers of the world [/b] I recently heard that the old-fashioned light bulbs are going out of production and the latest trend is LED-light "bulbs", which last 50.000 hours, so Doe; we may never get to see the wheelers change that "bulb". Doe; as for guys and hard-ware - seems like a pretty, erm, natural combination to me ...

As for guys and hardware, I'm talking tools, hammers, saws etc. You know they complain about girls and their shoes, but in my experience guys usually invent any excuse for a trip to the hardware store. They might have 5 different kinds of screwdrivers or saws at home, but they always manage to buy another one: "Oh, but this one has this a great thingy and and a fancy grip......and with it I can rule the world" !

Damn, the fusebox...I overlooked that complication since I've moved...thanks for the reminder! ...no, actually I have my contingency in place...luckily, I can sorta' just kneel on the chair and flip it...but if y'all haven't noticed in my pictures, I have huge orangutan arms, so I can reach a lot of things in high places (My alter-ego is Stretch Armstrong ). Tri generally covers it, though...we're all trained MacGuyvers. It's amazing what a wheeler can do with a strip of duct tape, a paper clip, and a wad of gum. We´re all living examples of the link between apes and humans, aren´t we? Some more than others. Did someone mention G.W. Bu.. I´ll better stop.

NO, KEEP GOING! You're onto something! I THINK WE'VE FOUND THE MISSING LINK! I try to avoid the Hardware store at all costs...though I admit I have this crazy screwdriver kit, because I need Tech. screwdrivers. However if you mean hardware as in computer hardware...it's amazing how many RAM modules I can manage to need over the course of a year...
