Posted: 1/19/2007 4:48:41 PM | | Hey man or woman, stay out of the spot walk the distance with your lazy ass. I am missing my leg above the knee, and unless my prosthesis has broken I don't even do that. Most days I don't need the parking spot that I have the right to. | |

Posted: 1/19/2007 4:52:42 PM | >>^^Many of the culturally Deaf do not consider themselves handicapped.
Smith, how do you know this?
Can't recall if I answered this already--I have spent years in college studying american sign language and deaf culture. | |

Yes, orally educated deaf people are between two worlds, and are not fully accepted by either. It is very sad, IMHO. I think signing is the natural mode of communication for anyone born deaf. If they want to, and have the aptitude, to learn to talk and lipread, great. But they should learn sign first. JMHO. | |

Posted: 1/19/2007 5:28:40 PM | I tend to use it more in the summer when I am wearing shorts. But again only when things aren't working the way they should. Above knee amp.
But I have had many looks when I have long pants on, actually make my limp more pronounced when I do use the spots during the cold months.
Please people... go beyond the cover. | |

Posted: 1/19/2007 5:41:24 PM | C7t1: I see your name now and know what it means. I am so glad you answered that person (for lack of a less respectful word) because I wanted a response from someone who has been there, before I put in my two cents worth, and here it is:
I had a best friend in Atlanta who was in a wheelchair and she was leary of even making friends with me for fear I would not understand. It took time but we became very close and went lots of places together and did spend a great deal of time with each other up until I moved away. I took her camping, we went to the store often, and all kinds of things. I was just amazed at how she handled her "disability".
Her biggest complaint and she had a right to complain about much else but did not, was jackasses taking the handicapped spot. The energy and time it took her to get ready to go out....being unable to reach for things and the many little steps it to catherize, move her body etc....was enormous. It tool her hours! Getting herself her wheelchair out of the back seat was a herculean task. She needed a big old car with big doors and lots of space to open the door and move the chair. And often after a preparation in which most of us could go to europe, she would find and able bodied person in HER spot and have to turn around and go back home. What a rip. I still feel for her to this day so much so I go up to people if I can see them, who have parked illegally in a handicapped spot and tell them what she confided to me.
I would also add that she had many boyfriends and her sexuality took on new and interesting forms of expression that many men found irresistible. She finally ended up with a young handsome lawyer and settled down. He in turn rebuilt her dumpy old mansion and they made a fortune. Funny how some people can turn everything around. And you should have seen her on that camping trip. Boy did we have fun. I learned a lot from her!
Keep in mind too, that there are people who look fine but need a handicapped spot. They may be dying, they may be on chemo therapy and very sick, or have heart trouble...these spots are need for them too, or they would not be able to go to the store at all.
And as for "good excercise" for them that jackass wrote...who made him a physio therapist? It isn't good excercise, it's downright dangerous as you say. | |

Vertebrae. Not sure how obvious that is to someone who hasn't done the whole med school/vet school thing.
BTW, in response to a previous post, I was on crutches for 6 months and probably could have gotten a handicapped placard, but didn't. I didn't want to take the spot away from people in wheelchairs. | |

Posted: 2/15/2007 8:21:00 AM | I'm a below knee amputee and as long as I'm wearing my leg I don't need a handicapped parking spot. If, on the other hand I'm out and about without my leg I ocassionally use one of the spots if it's raining or snowing. Crutches can get slippery on the bottom and you can bust your butt in an eye blink.
Another thing that gripes my a** is when someone has a placard because they have a member of their family who is handicapped, then park in the handicapped spaces when they're by themselves. That really sucks. | |

Posted: 4/18/2007 3:49:00 AM | I dated a 52 year old woman for several months who suffered a spinal injury a number of years ago. She is able to walk, but does so with difficulty. She is a charming, sexy woman with a firm toned body (she swims 3-4 times a week) most women in their 20's would love to have. Her handicap was an inconvenience , not a barrier. We had limits on what we can do, but we work around those issues easily. And yes, we were able to have wonderful sex too, we just couldn't be too gymnastic.
The main problem was her fear of a relationship. She was told by a "friend" shortly after her accident that she would never be appealing to men again, and she took that to heart. She insisted she can't understand why I would want to be with her, and needs constant reassurring of her desirability. It was difficult to explain to her that I could see past the injury, but things did improve. Ultimately, she broke things off because she just couldn't handle the idea of a relationship.
The point is, don't pass up the chance to date a woman you find interesting just because of a handicap. My experience was one I wouldn't trade for anything. | |

Posted: 9/19/2007 12:30:37 PM | | i cant believe this is even a question, people are people regardless of anything else, if you cant take a person for who they are then i say youre shallow and need to grow up, for me as far as love and dating go, i dont discriminate based on anything, if i click with someone then i go for it. | |

Posted: 12/6/2007 1:44:29 PM | | Unfortmately I totaly agree with you on that. Nobody wants to date people with deformities or handicappes. I was born with a radical clubbed hand, I am missing a pinky finger on my left hand. On my right hand I am missing a thumb, and I an also blind in my left eye. All from birth. I have the same problems trying to meet women.. All they want is to be friends and nothing more. I'm sick of it, just because we have handicapps and deformities doesn't mean we don't have the same sexual desires as people who don't have degormities and handicappes. Come on people give us a chance to show you that we are just like anybody else. | |

Posted: 12/8/2007 5:29:00 AM | Yes. I would, but I guess it would depend on the physical handicap as well, but that doesn't kill it for me if I really like someone. I have been in relationships with women with some kind of physical disability before and the disability wasn't the problem. | |

Posted: 12/8/2007 7:02:12 AM | Hmmmmm,maybe if they let me use their parking sticker. (kidding)
i would not consider a handicap in dating or not dating a person, its all about their personality and the chemistry between us. | |

Posted: 1/27/2009 7:06:06 PM | | Beautifully stated. A handicap is one that a person allows to hinder them. Unfortunately sometimes a person who feels they are handicapped allowed that disability to show up more as a part of their character and personality. They compensate for their loss by being over protective of their heart and do not let someone in who really just wants to love them for who they are. Not all disabilities are able to be seen, such as bad heart, lung problems, deceit, greed, being obnoxious and so many others that can too be called handicaps or disabilities. When you allow what life has dealed you in the way of short comings and let those things affect how you accept and treat others, then you may have created for yourself more of a handicapped than you think. For those of you that have not let a physical or mental short coming affect how you think and feel, my hats off to you...you are the heros. | |
