Correct. I definately fit that profile. I'd have had more fun today if I
just finally grabbed one and had the daugher push the full cart. Instead,
we rushed through somewhat and ended up with a second cart not filled more
than the scooters could have handled.

Had a nice trip though to the grocery store. Sat for a little on the floor
along the juice isle while Charlotte grabbed stuff. Told'em this time I
could load the car fine as had the kidlit with me. New checker to me but
apparently a bit obvious by then.

It's not always weight that drives the need of a chair and not always
overeating that causes weight.
