Husband wanted to get me one of those but we can't afford it for starters.
Would have no place to store it where we could easily get it in and out.
And we live far enough away from places that it wouldn't do me much good.
Yeah, I could take it to the mailbox, but where else? No place else close
enough and it wouldn't fit in the van. We'd have to get some other kind of
vehicle (big van?) and have it modified in some way with a ramp or something
to get it in and out. Not really an option.
