Good luck with that $650 part.

I've heard really bad things about Audis, as well. My mother has a Merc (2006 E-class) and she LOVES it. It's a very good car. First Mercedes any of us has ever owned, and I would totally buy another. Edited to add that she's been VERY pleased with the folks at RBM and uses them for all her service as well. Their service prices have dropped dramatically in the last few years.

Kid Rock and Brad Paisley did the best, IMHO. Man, Laura Bush was loved by that crowd! My favorite RFD show is the mule-trainer girl. Those mules can do anything a horse can do. They are marvelous. Edited to add that RFD is Channel 349 on DirecTV.

Ooh - thanks for the additional info, Stonewall. I didn't see the service; I just got my info from that article. It'll prolly be re-broadcast...maybe I'll try to catch it.

At George Jones's funeral today: Randy Travis - Amazing Grace Oak Ridge Boys - Farther Along Charlie Daniels - Softly and Tenderly Kid Rock - original song about getting over drinking Vince Gill, Patty Loveless - Go Rest High On That Mountain Brad Paisley - Me and Jesus Speakers - Laura Bush and Mike Huckabee http://twitchy.com/2013/05/02/can-only-imagine-how-beautiful-the-heavens-sound-laura-bush-stars-pay-tribute-at-george-jones-funeral-pics/ I also loved Keith Urban's tribute to George earlier... One of my faves of George's... http://www.youtube.com/watch

My thoughts exactly! In my case, I never married (for a variety of reasons), and I've built quite a pleasurable life on my own.

What a moron. Oh, and Blondie - megadittos on thongs.

You're not alone, sister! I swear, I feel terrible, and my eyes are just crying constantly. I saw where the pollen count was 248 the other day and I thought yes, and I'm allergic to all 248 of whatever they are!!! :cray: Edited to add - Poor Papi. Ain't nothin' more pitiful than a sick man.

Holy crap. Well, we do know that trucked up liar sacks of sheeze do exist...I hope this isn't the case, though.

I didn't know. Please know that you are in my prayers. My heart hurts for your loss. Yes, friends seem to be few and far between when you're going through hard times. I'm so sorry. I pray for you (and your wife) when you come to mind. I do know this, however - as hard as an illness is on a person, it's at least as hard on the caregivers, if not moreso. I've been in a situation similar to yours, and it just about killed me in many ways. If you ever need to talk, PM me. Triplets with moi.

Agree with you and diehardky, BUT the way I understood it is the appellate court in Italy overturned the verdict in the case, or set it aside or some such, making it as if it never happened. Ergo, no double jeopardy. IDK. The whole thing is confusing to moi. Agree with feelip about the book tour.

I like you, monorail girl! That is a very sweet and perceptive idea. :wub:

Yes. This evil thing is one of the myriad tests I had. You lay on a flat cold hard table on your back for 90 minutes while they run crap into your IV to make your GB do whatever it's supposed to do. My GB did just fine, but my back was NOT HAPPY! I will say that my dr. was concerned after it turned out not to be GB that he had me do an echo/stress test because women's heart issues have such different symptoms.

DITTO!!! Every time they'd do something stupid, I'd be screaming at them in my head. Geez Louise, people!

I believe according to extradition treaties, the US may be obligated to send her back. I heard some expert or other speaking about this one day and any given situation depends on the circumstances and what agreement the US has with another country. In this case, they said it was their opinion that the US would be obligated to send her back. IDK. My only opinion about her is I don't know why people call her "Foxy Knoxy". I don't think she's all that. But what do I know.

Yeah, it was renewed for a second season a little while back. I don't think Joe is dead. And that sounds like a strange ending! Why would the Holly girl stab them? Are they dead? I'll let you know what I think after I watch it.

My mom kept having attacks, and after a trip to the ER, she saw her dr. and he said you can have it out on your own schedule, or you can go in through the ER and maybe have complications. GB disease is NOT something to mess around with, as others have stated. If it's simple, they do a laparascopic deal in the abdomen with little discomfort. My mother had hers out and actually wanted to go out to eat that night, but we already had food at home, so we didn't. This was on a Friday, and she was back at work on Monday, with virtually no ill effects. My uncle let his go too long, and had to hav

And after feelip finishes trimming his trees, will he drive the truck over to my house with feelip still in the bucket so feelip can trim some of my trees?

This one thing makes him worth his weight in gold!

Please, PLEASE tell him that we are all praying for him. I'm telling other people I know in other areas as well. And again, PM me if we can be of assistance to you in any other way.

RE: Douglas Hospital - They had 0 central line infections; no data on surgical site infections from colon surgery; but they were #1 in that table in the incidents of catheter associated UTIs. I'd comment more on the CDC's information, but after a half hour of pondering, I can't make head nor tail of their web site and information contained therein (and I'm pretty computer literate and have a moderate medical background).

My dad got a staph infection at one of the best-rated hospitals in Georgia. Three surgeries in a month and four straight months of IV antibiotics every eight hours before it was gone. Edited to add that I wasn't dissing said hospital - just wanted to point out that these infections are insidious and just SO HARD to get rid of. Kudos to any hospital for working to cut down on the incidents of same.

I am, too! We can be a (scary?) team.

HAHAHAA Twins! Oh, how I griped when that hideous monstrosity first came out!
