Sub Woofers.......

I like going to a concert and feeling the bass players notes and the drummers bass drum move my internal organs......but I hate sitting at home or in traffic and hearing 'thud'  'thud' 'thud' from some loser who listens to music with their bass level set to 10.

People bagging the gophers, I can understand if they drive them in the bike lane or on the road.....but what are  the alternatives...

Staying inside your home all the time....

using one of those walking frames....or frames with the wheels?

They give old people the ability to get outside and be mobile.

I see those elderly people without a scooter in the heat and I feel really sorry for them, as well as disabled people.

Makes you stop complaining about your sore back or complaining that your car doesn't have AC etc etc and be thankful you can walk where you want and not have to pre plan the time it takes.

It was a joke joyce, and btw 

be thankful you can walk where you want and not have to pre plan the time it takes

is actually very offensive to me but as you don't know my situation I will not hold that against you.

Lighten up will you, if I can laugh about being disabled then I would love it if you would laugh with me.

there was a south park episode on about mobility scooters:

sorry it's not the whole episode (can't find it), it was really funny though.

I guess there are all sorts of niggly little things in our lives but sometimes it's easy and understandable that someone would take offence to a joke like that.

My FIL lost his licence 2 yrs ago due to dementia onset and he would not be able to drive one of those motorised things. Fortunately he does not need a walker yet.

It probably annoys some people when we take him to the shops and he walks slowly.
