There's *supposedly* a small separate battery that allows them to go up and down if the main battery dies, and therefore NO way to manually open them. Not a situation I want to be in in an accident when my life may depend on an openable (is that a word?) window. <br /><br />As for Miss Plump Ride Up One Floor, every time I go grocery shopping, I see plumpos waddle into the store without cane, crutch, or assistance of another, and then ride around in the store's motorized carts. I happen to have a friend with MS confined to a wheelchair who'd LOVE to waddle ANYWHERE without assistance of any kind, so I can't print here what I'd like to say to plumpos just TOO @#%! LAZY to WALK around a store (or forego the elevator to go up one floor)!JamaGeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16973656461323918279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-64341523619744259752010-03-30T14:21:38.724-07:002010-03-30T14:21:38.724-07:00Oh hey, we need to use the stairs more and the ele...Oh hey, we need to use the stairs more and the elevator less, it's good for our muscles and are heart too.<br /><br />SecretiaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-61842241165191448252010-03-30T10:46:42.570-07:002010-03-30T10:46:42.570-07:00First of all I am disappointed that you didn't...First of all I am disappointed that you didn't take this young waif under your wing for some tutoring (forehead to knees baby).

With only two floors to the building, our elevator could only go up or down one. The stairs were used by all the hospital employees. The down side to this, was they stomped and ran up and down them like a herd of wild elephants and slammed the door at the top of the stairs...every single time. Those of us working at the second floor nursing station finally snapped. We taped strings across both the top and bottom entrances to the stairs and hung signs on them...Out Of Order. We had peace for one week, until maintenance finally noticed...damn them always ruining our fun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-24929899120886833332010-03-30T08:36:40.634-07:002010-03-30T08:36:40.634-07:00Hear, hear!!
