[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a friend with cystic fibrosis who didn't always use her oxygen tank, but was still very ill and had trouble walking long distances[/quote]

How far is long distances?[/quote]

A block, a few feet, anything could be long for her on bad days - which is the nature of the beast with cystic fibrosis.  She would often had to stop and catch her breath on bad days.  But, she was a young lady and looked healthy from the outside, which is why people often confronted her in parking lots.  [/quote]

First let me say, I'm not trying to say in anyway your friend didn't deserve handicap parking.  I was simply trying to point out that a long distance is vague.  To a healthy in shape person a long distance would be several miles.  Someone home-bound a long distance could be from their couch to the bathroom.  Now what they mean by limited or severely limited when it comes to qualifying for a placard is anyone's guess.  I guess that's probably why permits themselves are so controversial, vague qualifications.[/quote]

Here's what I don't get.  WHY DOES IT MATTER?  If you don't need a handicapped spot -- thank your lucky stars.[/quote]
