Well, i guess i am not alone in this department either, i got a handicapp sticker thingy for the county fair which i am there for a week and my mom had this fear of me sick in the dark way in the back parking lot. So we decided a handicapp sticker was best, the first day this old guy goes you know you are in handicapp parking, my response "Oh i know i am, i have an illness that makes it hard for me to walk far distances w/out falling". he shut up and didn't say anything after that. i only use it when i need to or can't find a parking space close to walk to the store. susie
