Dear Abby concerning Handicap parking spaces in Massachusetts the Law is such that if you Are in a wheelchair and cannot walk even one step As my Mother was you cannot get a Handicap plate. I know. I begged the Powers that be to give nor one. She had doctors requests but the answer was a resounding no. You must have at least one foot missing. My unde who lives in new Mexico has a Handicap plate and he can dance the Jitterbug he is a handicapped Veteran. The Laws arc not As strict in new Mexico. Why the entire country does t have uniform Laws concerning parking spaces for disabled people is beyond my comprehension. I live in Florida now and while i am not familiar with the Laws of this state this i do know even though a borrowed vehicle has Handicap plates that entitle the owner to Park in a preferred area no Able bodied person should use that space. Everyone seeing anyone whom they believe to be a healthy person drive into the Handicap parking space should write the License number Down and report it. If the person is not qualified then reporting them will finally result in the revocation of the plate for whom it is issued. And people who own the plates will be More careful of the inconsiderate persons they lend their cars to. Before my open heart surgery in Massachusetts. I could not walk 10 feel. I could not gel a plate either. Dec. In Winter Haven. Fla. Dear . One does not have to have a a missing foot to get a Handicap plate in Massachusetts. According to the Massachusetts registry of motor vehicles one must suffer the permanent loss of the use of at least one foot or leg not the foot or leg itself. Your difficulty in obtaining a permit for yourself May have Arisen because your physician could not state that your Handicap was permanent. This year the Massachusetts Rev further expanded the Law to include a class 3 and 4�?� heart patients by v virtue of the severity of their disease. Although every stale does not have the same requirements for the issuance of Handicap plates almost All respect plates issued by other states. And Massachusetts confers reciprocity on Handicap parking permits for All states and Canadian provinces. Dear Abby i Sec letters in your column quite often from wives who Are upset with their husbands because they Quot look at other women. I think All men like to look at Good looking women but some Are More sneaky about it than others. Fifty years ago. My Boyfriend was a girl watcher. When 1 complained he told me that As Long As he lives hell look. That was the truth because we be been married 48 years and he s still looking. It does t bother a bit because he a a a Looker Quot not a we have a wonderful marriage and he a still the most exciting Man i be Ever met. A in love with a Looker dear in love congratulations May it Ever be thus. There a nothing wrong with Subtle looking As Long As the saliva does t run Down his Chin. And by the Way some women also like to look at attractive men which is of if they do it discreetly. C Universal press syr tease
