I'm driving two things: a Dark Blue, 2005 Ford Freestyle Limited (48,000) and my wife crazy. lol The Freestyle is on its second set of Pirelli P7s. Verna drives a Laser Red, 1996 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra with only 29.000 miles. That's her "baby". Went through 2 sets of BFG Gatorbacks due to tread separation and no, BFG would not waranty them. Using Pirelli's now. Ms. Rose drives a Liquid Gray, 2002 Ford Focus ZX3 (12,000) (original tires, replaced fuel pump) and at 90 years old

Gosh, you all are so wonderful. Thanks so much for your kind words of encouragement and hope. I'm actually doing okay. I never thought I'd be able to sleep but I think having been well-prepared mentally for this before hand is a huge asset. I thank my manager for the early warning some time ago that this was coming. I know what you mea n when you say it's better than not knowing until it happens. S o many of my fri e nds found out that way (last-minute) over the p ast few years. It's

Just got the paperwork this morning. At least it's good to have a date. A lot of my good friends weren't so lucky; they found out as it was happening. I can't afford to retire yet, so I will look for something else. We've know this was coming for a long time. I feel I was lucky to last as long as I did there. My boss will be gone, too. It's too bad because I love my job and the folks I've been working with. All things must pass, I suppose. - Glenn

[quote user="BobRiff"] [quote user="picky"] June is sounding good. It all depends on my job and whether I still have one by then. - Glenn [/quote] Glen, Haven't you heard? The recession is over! Seriously though, as a fellow Michiganian, I feel your pain. I had my hours cut several months ago. It sucks! Hope to see you in Indy! Bob [/quote] Thanks, Bob.

I don't know who the kid is but this photo from the web has always cracked me up. It's entitled, "Die, Cat B*st*rd!" LOL

Just trying to ship a few bulk speaker parts to Canada about a year ago via UPS and FedEx gave me fits. UPS pretty much laughed me out of their office and I had to go back to the FedEx office 4 times before we had any success. International shipments are treated very different from domestic and the customs declarations can be a major pain in the arse. Be certain you aren't the one who gets stuck paying the duties on items. Those should be paid by the recipient. Best of luck. -Glenn

From what I read, the SOB is a PSYCHIATRIST for crying out loud! Unreal! Those poor people!

I just saw this, Cal. I'm very sorry to hear of your sister-in-law's horible accident. My prayers are with you and your family my friend. - Glenn
