Guest guest Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Terry, I know how you are feeling because I know what Don went through the first time he had to ride one of those carts. His attitude was "My mother didn't need this until she was over 80 years old". I told him that his mother didn't have a disease. I did try to laugh about it. He now will go, begrudgingly but he rides it. Our Lowe's in Peoria Illinois, has only one. HUH! After a while he had a little smile on his face. Good job Terry, and you will not regret this step forward. K IllinoisTerry Pennisi wrote: Hello my friends, Haven't been feeling so hot. Not sick, just so incredibly tired, all I want to do is sleep!

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Terry, I'm sorry that you have been feeling so tired. Tell the doc. It could be lack of 02 or iron deficiency, etc. You have to keep on top of this mess. I have been missing you. I just started using the elctric ride carts a few weeks ago. Lowe's was my worst experience. There must have been 500 men just standing looking at a box full of screws and nuts ...... and would not move. Good grief! Then there were boxes in the aisle, ladders in the aisle and I got stuck fifty times. On top of all that my husband kept wandering off.....I am not going back there! Too frustrating! There is a Meijer super store close by that has really wide aisles and is huge. I love it there. I have a Jazzy chair so that I could go to the mall, but no ramp or vehicle to take it anywhere. I hope that you get to feeling better. The sunshine helps me. My moods change with the weather. Take care. Hugs, Joyce D.Pulmonary Fibrosis 1997 Bronchiectasis 2004 Pulmonary Hypertension 2008 Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (Lupus, RA, Sjogren's, etc) Rejected for Transplant 2006 .....I will not forget you.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 SHER, You know I was a Sales Mgr. At Lowe's and we always had cart problems. Number one people steal them, and second people who weigh several hundred pounds use them and everything does have a weight limit. Also I have seen people hit them with Big trucks for fun. We constantly had a shortage because of people stealing, abusing, kids playing and parents not keeping them in check. Those are expensive and cost a lot to keep up. I was aleays ticked off at people not helping to take care of them. We spent several thousand dollars each year for repair and replacement.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Doing Well. Start Pulmonary rehab Friday. One more on the carts. All of the Mgrs. at Lowe's work on a salary plus annual bonus. Bonuses are result of profits which are related to out of pocket costs such as cart repair. If the customers had their pay reflected based upon the care of the carts I'm sure better care would be taken for them.     JOE/JOANIE JOE 60 IPF1/2008 GRIFFIN, GA. -- Re: Hello all..........
