Guest guest Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Ruth, Maybe it is just where I live, but I have so many rude people who would just as soon run me over. I try to do as much walking as possible for the exercise, but I am really slow. The other day I was walking into Target and I felt someone behind me " lurking " so I moved over so they could go by. This nicely dressed gentleman came flying by and went through the manual door next to the automatic. He didn't want to be anywhere near me because he was in such a hurry. I have also had people who were very rude when I was using the electric wheelchairs. It is like you are invisible. Well, so much for that. I hope you and Plurple just keep on keepin' on. Take care.
