Thanks for answering, I was asleep.

No problem. I'm glad things have worked out for you. It's gotten better

here, as least we don't hear so much about it on the news.

Re: Placing the Sproutgarden INSIDE

refrigerator on HOT days!!!

Hi. Want to know another reason why I don't trust people that much in my

area? A few weeks ago my husband was riding on the bus with his cane. He can

barely walk but he gets around.

He needed to get off the bus and this man would not let him by. Since his

bus stop was fast approaching my husband again asked the guy to move, the

guy wouldn't budge and my husband just moved past him.

The guy decked my husband to the floor, eyeglasses go flying and he started

pummeling my husband. Of course my husband defended himself with his cane.

The guy ran off the bus. Unfortunately and because it was his time to get

off the bus, my husband followed the guy in where he worked. The police were

called and my husband demanded that the guy be held responsible. After

hearing what went down, the cop turned to my husband and said:

" If I arrest HIM, I have to arrest YOU because you had the cane and that's

considered a weapon, so you'd be charged with a felony. It didn't matter

that my husband was all bruised and bleeding. Of course no charges were

pressed because everyone would have had to go before a judge and who knew

how the judge would rule.

The point is that if you are accosted on a bus, and you have a cane, and you

defend yourself, you will be charged with a felony and have to plead your

case in court. It can be decided in your favor or not in your favor. I

checked with other cops and yes, that's the law.

I told my husband. " Next time some guy jumps you and you have your cane,

hand him the cane, and defend yourself. That way HE HAS THE CANE!!!

this really happened by the way.

Craigslist is just like running a classified ad in the paper, but free!

I often just meet in a public place. (Like Hardee's)

> Sorry to hear that Beverly. And I don't really know how Craigslist works.

People sell stuff and other people have to show up and pay for it IN PERSON?? Is

this right?

There is no NEW sprouting rack. There is my new cooling system in which I placed

my SproutGarden inside a big round tub and put all ice cold keepers around it.

Works like a charm to keep my sprouts nice and cool.

Who said there was a new sprouting rack?

lol

I wouldn't give up my sprouting shelves for all the tea in China.

Thank you my dear Beverly

Peggy:

They all stood and did NOTHING while the guy had Alan down on the floor and was

pummeling him. Alan's glasses went flying. Alan defended himself with the cane.

That's when the guy jumped off the bus.

THEN the people helped Alan get up and someone found his glasses.

No one did anything to pull the guy off.

I know me. If I had been there (and it wouldn't matter if it was my husband or a

complete stranger), I would have immediately jumped on the guy, taken his hands,

put them behind his back, lassood him, and brought him in for slaughter.

But that's me!!! lol

You have to have a sense of humor when you look back and see these things.

After that Alan and I have had discussions on how to react to this if it ever

happens again. As a matter of fact, I'm giving a presentation at our next

Neuropathy Support Group meeting.

The topic??

How to be able to get off a bus when no one will let you. What to do if you are

attacked on a bus. And similar instances.

We have a lot of timid disabled people at the meetings. The leader, once he

found out how I am able to move 50 people at a time so I can get off of a bus,

well he asked me " Melody will you please give a presentation on how they can do

this "

You would all be surprised at how often disabled people won't open their mouth,

won't get up and will just sit on the bus until ALL THE PEOPLE GET OFF. They

will sometimes ride 5 or 6 stops past their intended get off stop.

They don't know what to do , what to say or the correct way to exit a bus that

is MASSIVELY CROWDED.

The reason I know how to do this. I do it EVERY TIME.

Everyone gets off the bus and let's me off. Then when I get off, they all get

back on.

Want to know what I do?? I'll tell you.

One time Alan and I were on a bus filled with 100 people. When you ring the bell

to get off at the next stop, and even if there are 10 people between you and the

door, people will suck in their gut and make you SQUEEZE in between them. And

what if you are carrying a push cart with groceries? Or as in Alan's case,

maybe his walker (that has been folded up), or his cane.

You have to know how to get the people OFF the bus so you may exit.

Alan looked at me and said " Melody we can't get off this bus there are 50 people

between us and the door " .

I simply got up, yelled: " DISABLED MAN COMING THROUGH, DISABLED MAN COMING

THROUGH " .

Everybody got off the bus, we had all the room in the world and I thanked

everyone for being SO KIND, and everyone was mumbling (not happy) but no one did

a thing. After all, WHO WANTS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ARGUING WITH A DISABLED

PERSON. These were ALL teens by the way. That's why it worked with them.

If you have a nut like my husband encountered, you have to yell to the bus

driver (I asked this of a bus driver and he told me what to do if this ever

happens again).

You yell out " I'm DISABLED and I can't get off the bus "

The the bus driver will get involved. If the guy makes trouble the bus driver

will call the police but it really never gets to that point.

Alan must have encountered a man who was really having a bad day and he snapped.

I've found many different ways to exit a crowded bus. They all work.

It's a matter of knowing how to ask and get a positive response.

It's also best to not be on a massively crowded bus, but hey, it happens.

[Guest guest]

Well, I asked a bus driver this very same question. First, I asked Alan what the

bus driver did while this was going on?

Nothing because this is a NYC bus and this took place in the back of the bus and

the bus driver is all the way at the front of the bus.

Alan thought like a guy (can't blame him). All that testosterone flying around.

What Alan should have done is after the first time he asked the guy to let him

by and the guy ignored him, Alan should have shouted " Bus Driver I need to get

off this bus and I'm not able " .

The Bus driver THEN has to act.

Alan didn't do that. All this stuff happened so fast (Alan asked the guy to move

two times, the guy didn't budge, Alan went to move past him and the guy decked

him.

Now if this had happened in the front of the bus, well, I have no idea but I

gather the bus driver would have starte to yell, or would have gotten his phone

and called it in.They all have 2 way radios and cell phones.

You have absolutely no idea the kind of people that now use public

transportation.

Many people were bounced from Access a ride (a transportation system for the

handicapped). All these people can no longer use Access a ride and they now

have to take public transportation.

Many (and I mean many) of these people have mental problems.

If you happen to have one sitting next to you and he's having a bad day, FORGET

IT!!!!

So now we know better and how to handle it.

The one thing I learned from all this is that if you are holding a cane, it's

considered a weapon (even if you defend yourself with it). A judge has to rule

on this.

That's Brooklyn, NY (and I would imagine most other places)

Imagine, a guy hits you, you defend ourself with your cane while he's pummelling

you and the cop tells you " I would have to charge you with a felony because you

used your cane " .

Like I said before, if it was ME and I had to carry a cane, and some nut tried

to attack me, I would say " Here, hold this " and then defend myself.

It's called " covering my *ss "
