I am so tired of these handicapped parking spaces. They are not enforced. How often have I seen people parking their SUVs and pickup trucks there and jogging into the store. But they have an invalid tag. No limping or anything. I would guess just one out of 10 of these has a handicapped person in the vehicle. If there is a handicapped person in the vehicle but the driver is not disabled and the invalid is not getting out of the vehicle, the driver should park in a regular space. Some lots have six to eight or more spaces and sometimes they are all empty and people have to go farther, especially when it’s raining, windy or snowing. If they have these zones, they should be required to inspect everyone coming out of the vehicle to make sure the person IS an invalid.

With all the news and talk programs on TV, my biggest gripe is the women who are more concerned with their eye liner running than the fact that they might be sentenced to death row or are being physically abused. They are dabbing away with the corner of a tissue so that tear streaks don’t run down their faces. How about forgoing the eye liner on the day they will appear in court or on “Dr. Phil”? I’m thankful men don’t have this problem!
