Title: Hey! I am writing a book----
Post by: isittoolate on July 01, 2007, 05:47:20 PM

I found a dime on the floor in a store. I found a nickel in the gutter at the Walk/Don't Walk corner and today another dime on the street. Now I would never see these things if I didn't roll around with downcast eyes, missing people I know. I won't get rich that way, but I have to also watch out for dog poop, spit, phlegm, gum, used condoms, etc. or my tires wiil bring that back to my carpeting, just as the soles of your shoes would if you didn't remove them at the door.

If I happen to roll looking straight ahead and see someone I know, we stop to talk, but I am lookiing at his belly button (or crotch, depending on his height) and to keep eyeball to eyeball contact, I must move back, then he moves forward and I back up some more. One day some one will back me into the middle of a street, I'll get hit by a car and spend the rest of my life in a wheechair.

Now it's silly to roll around looking up. One could run into a parking meter, a dog, a small child (or a Narciisist ha ha)

Think I can do it from this point of view?

Love Izzy

I like everything,Izzy, especially the condom. It brings up an image.                                                                       I think that the name should be"Cool on Wheels"                           Love   Ami

Izzy,
What would happen if you used a very friendly tone, and just said to people:

Would you hunker down here so I can talk with you without bending my head back? Thanks!

That is very funny Izzy,
You have a wild woman streak in you for sure. Title of book suggestion: Rollin Thunder.

I think a sign is in order. Please have the courtesy to speak to me at eyelevel.
cripes it seems like people should know better, but they don't.

Love,
Sea storm

I will make a point of not getting too close to customers in wheelchairs-would it be weird to crouch down to be at eye level like I would do with a child?

Hiya gang,

Yeppers, it's okay to hunker down, but if a chair is available, you can use it. Outside you don't find odd chairs so hunkering can take place then.

Thanks OC, Hops, Amo, besee, and sea!!!!!

Love
Izzy
