[QUAD-L] Handicap Parking-Buffet Restaurants

[wheelchair]

Again, we are in agreement. There is a gross difference between anyone who is overweight and a person who is morbidly obese. The its about the same as comparing a centimeter to a mile.  Yes, we are judging and may be percised as wrong, but someone has to say something about those who have no control over their personal eating (bad) habits.

So seeing someone, who deigns to let themselves get so overweight really brings up my ire and resentment.  When I used a manual chair I would park far away, simply to get the exercise.  Now I use the HC spots because of the extra space for my lift.  Also, I admit, so that others who so often abuse the spots CAN'T park there.  When only my partner is going to the store, she parks in a regular spot and I wait in the van. God but I LOVE a great Indian buffet ;-)) River
