   The mac & cheese is pure carbohydrate, and processed at that. Pure sugar. Thus:Kraft M&C = Coke & Twinkie.

   Not buying it, Julie.

   Burl spending $1.29 for a cup of coffee?

   Methinks, not!

   FYI: I have been trained by 3 World Champions in BBQ: Myron Mixon, Johnny Trigg, and Paul Kirk. I attended all 3 men’s cooking schools.

   Gotta smile at todays panel, as last month, I drove to Fredericksburg VA and helped my friend and his team compete in the BBQ Jamboree. My friend actually looks like Burl, and made his special comp sauce: 1/2 bottle Sweet Baby Rays and 1/2 bottle of Blues Hog. The team took 2nd in pork. I kid you not.

   You guys have it all wrong: Burl will first ‘boil’ the ribs. Then char em up and add his special sauce.

   No, it’s for physical disability.

   Had a man who looked to be in his 30’s come up to me and say “you don’t look handicapped.”

   Me: “well sir, it’s none of your business, but I have severe stenosis of the spine, in 13 areas of my neck, alone.”

   Him: “You don’t look handicapped.”

   I just shook my head at him. He could have viewed my MRI, spoken with my back specialist, and I’d wager all that would come out would be:

   “You don’t look handicapped.”

   One wonders how some make it home at night without help.

   I have severe stenosis of the spine, and I regularly run into people who use handicap spaces and accessories without permits.

   And everyone of them uses the same, lame excuse: “I’m disabled… my back hurts… etc.”

   My .02: use your camera phone and capture a picture of them in the space. Make sure to get a clear shot of their license plate and surrounding windows, and send it to the police.

   Remember… the handicapped person who needed that space might have been your grandmother or grandfather.

   Nothing to apologize for. You’re quite correct: the Penny’s have no right to use handicapped accessories.

   Potentially, a person needing the item it order to obtain their living supplies might not be able to shop because of their ignorance.

    Susan,

    Sorry dear… but you’re quite incorrect. If something is labeled with the legal, blue sign, it is illegal for ANYONE who does not have a legal permit to use.

    Stop…. and read that last line again.

    Now, the police will often overlook users who are old and feeble, or seriously injured. But if your disability is not obvious, and you have not taken the time to check the box on your driver’s license application (yes, it’s that simple) and provided a doctor’s note, you have no one to blame but yourself if you’re cited.
