Hey Silas I know too how you feel. I have been a quad 17 years this year.

Yea but if a person has the strength to ride and stop and hold up a motorcycle and we all know know how much balance you need to ride one, why should you trust someone in this condition to even have a motorcycle license if you don't even think it's safe for him to walk then how in the hell is
I do not have a problem with this if they are mobility
impaired, i.e. heart condition, respiratory condition, or any other ailment that
limits their ability to manage significant distances independently.

I rarely use the handicapped spots. Usually the lift area isnt
big enough but I know it's not going to kill me to push a lil further. I
need the exercise anyways. If you have an electric chair then it shouldn't
be that big of a deal IMO. I just park a lil far away and take up two

Well I've seen the abuse that people get away with using permits and the one that pisses me off the most is the one issued to people that are diagnosed with obesity!

Dear Mark, I was not clear in my post. The
legislature wants to pass a bill to allow all pregnant women to park in the
handicapped spaces. My point is a bill is being written for this. If
the mother requires the permit due to illness then have the dr. sign away at the
form.

I change bags/catheters once a month, but switch
between leg and bed bags daily and so my aides clean both once a day. As to
plugging catheter to allow bladder to fill, I've heard of it but never done it.
I can barely take being irrigated much less being plugged up, I wet myself more
That's cool but I would think it's the doctors recommendation that should dictate who is deserving of a disabled permit?
I mean maybe not all regular pregnancies deserve these permits but I'm sure some are when you think about it they give one armed people disabled permits but I've never see
Dear Mark,
Handicap parking in my area CT,NY,and NJ is totally abused by
fake permits, people just running in etc. I usually park across two spots
and hope no one hits me as they are backing out as I traverse the parking
lot.
Some stores have "Expectant moms" spots. Great!!
