Cheaters win in sports all the time!!! Look at all the athletes on steroids!

If anyone starts seeing 09s in dealers please give me a heads up!
The update today was a bit more positive. They did the tracheotomy on Wed afternoon, and have been able to have her less sedated as a result of the tubes not being down her throat. She smiled at my brother today and was able to move her eyes a bit. She had not been able to move her eyes much at all, and was even sleeping with her eyes open - another symptom of the condition. She had also been mouthing "help" at my brother when she would see him, and apparently she was more calm about all the "stuff" today.
They had been giving her some sort of anti-anxiety drug, but that seemed to be causing her blood pressure to go VERY low so that was stopped.
All in all it sounded more positive today than it has for awhile.
I have not yet made plans to go there, but think they will need me more when the recovery effort moves home. They will likely need some sort of long term assistance for the recovery, but will probably need help in the interim until it can all be arranged. Tough being too far to just drive down over the weekend and see them ...
thanks for the positive thoughts ..
and, Bob, you know I'm sending them out to you and Deb through all the treatments ...
In spite of everything, I try to remind myself that with all I consider to be the "trials of life" there are always those who are less fortunate than I ....

Cheers Pat.
LL Bean is $24,995 (invoice) with freight included, and VIP pricing is 2% below that.
Add all the Subaru Bucks I have, and that should seal the deal.
Wonder what they'll offer us for the 02 Legacy. I'll ask over in RWTIV.
It's been years, but I may have to rejoin the American Canoe Association and hang out for six months ... just in case. :shades:

Maybe they were taking pictures? It was nice and sunny and would have been good to do.
It definitely looks more substantial. I like it.

I just spoke with one of our Neurologists. She told me that treatment for Guillan-Barre hasn't changed much. She told me plasmapheresis is better than IVIG and should have been done first. Even though they did the IVIG they should probably do the plasmapheresis anyway.
Hope your mom is doing better.

I've had my own visit to ski patrol head quarters last season. As silly as this is I feel at the top of the first hill before even going down. Bent my arm back wrong...before I learned to fall without locking my arms! Ack!
This year I'm doing a lot better but always worried that when I do fall if I don't jump right up the snowmobile will come track me down. LOL
You do realize that all the Subaru owned cars have Jersey Manufacturer Plates on them right? The PORT OF ENTRY for the Forester is up in the PNW and as such SOA folks fly up there and slap on Manf. plates all the time to cars at the port.

Human nature is to reach a hand out & try to defend yourself from a fall... sometimes you're just better off tucking, rolling and going with gravity! :surprise:
Two Subarus need oil changes at my house this week! I need to find a way to get the GT off the ground a bit - the ramps vs. ground clearance are an issue. Might have to substitute the floor jack & jack stands.
Cheers!

Good luck!

I'm hoping to trade it in with 59,999 miles so I don't have to do the 60k mile service!

Cheers!

we are supposed to get more tonight .. and it's BLOWING .....
if we all get in tomorrow ... the kids are having a 'snowman-building' adventure ... the classes are going out for about 1/2 hour to build snowmen near the windows of their classes ...
Sorrry to hear about your gandmother. My condolences to you and your family.
Mark
They make a bigger Rhino ramp, too. If I were getting one now, I'd probably get those.
My sister and bro-in-law just bought a 2007 OBLLBean from Fitzmall last night. So now it's only the wife's side of the family that hasn't come over. :shades:
Tell her Congrats! :shades:

My sister and B-I-L were here this past weekend from Chicago. They flew back yesterday and were greeted by temps in the teens and when they got to their car at the airport parking lot, it had been plowed in
Meanwhile, I've been commuting to work with the top down :shades:

Fantastic weather here in Fairbanks. We just came down off a "Pineapple Express" last week, with sunny days and temperatures as high as 40 or more in the day. We are still reaching 20's during the day with overnight lows around -15 to -20. Clear skies and sunlight. Who could ask for more than that?
Yessir, I do not care what ol' Phil says, spring is coming to Fairbanks right on time this year. Of course, it is still 8-10 weeks off.
Found a very clean 2006 Miata with only 7k miles in Salisbury, MD. Search on cars.com.
Dealer is selling it as a "Club Spec" (i.e. stripped, with no A/C even) but I can tell from the photos and the equipment level that it's actually a GT (nearly loaded).
It's very underpriced at $17k. They don't realize what they have. That was a $23k car, minimum, just 7k miles ago. $6000 off for 7000 miles?
Snap it up. Hurry.
I'm working on a swap - my Outback for an older one. Probably won't happen and I'll probably regret it the first time I try to go to Bogus in a Miata and rip the oil pan off on a snowball. :shades:
YOU try finding the leftovers from the Chinese restaurant in your car 3 days later and eating it without getting sick !
lol ...
yeah .. it's been a bit 'chilly' here ....
news on my mom continues to improve at this point .. today she was moved out of ICU ... brother seems to think she could probably do a bit more physically than he's seen, but she doesn't try very much ...and sometimes she says some "random" things, but then she'd already started doing that at times ...
Brenda
Your mom being moved out of ICU certainly sounds like good news at least.
Before you know it spring will be here and hopefully the entire family, healthy and happy again, can go for a picnic!
-Frank
Sorry to here about your loss.
I've been very busy lately and haven't kept up with the threads.
Bob, How is Deb?
Big Elm, are you doing OK?
Brenda, my thoughts are with you - be positive, be strong.

I can remember earlier in the season doing sweep in the dark! Nice that there's a bit more light for the drive home as well - 4th of July Pass is ugly in the dark & wet!
Cheers!
Paul
I think this is the best time of year. From now until the middle, perhaps end, of April. The light is just... better... this time of year. Maybe it is from due appreciation after the long dark of winter, even if the temperatures are still cold. Our light is effectively up to about 6:30pm, but increasing quickly (7 minutes) every day. Three months from now and I will be enjoying light in the sky 24 hours a day. Well, okay, I will enjoy it for 20 hours, because I still have to get a little bit of sleep. :shades:
However I get into a chat room but nobody is there. I get the welcome to the subaru chat, and all that good stuff but I am home alone. I downloaded the latest version of Java thinking that was the problem but no joy. Can somebody point out what I am doing wrong.
Cheers Pat.
I've got the same problem. Installed new graphics card and should be able to see Chat, but get nowhere. What do I need to get access?
Cheers
Graham
That is still one of the most amazing things I remember from when we were up near Denali. Came out of the bar to go back to the room at 11:30 at night and it was just like it was 3PM back home! I could take it for a couple of days, but not sure how I would handle months like that.
Mark
Update on the ski crash is a torn ACL and small peripheral tear in the medial meniscus. I tried and tried to get her to switch to a snowboard.... :sick:
I agree about the light. Mark, there are quite a few people around here who have a hard time dealing with it as well. I see folks go so far as to tinfoil their windows to stop it. Personally, I love it. The only trouble I have with the light is my desire to keep going and going. Sometimes I will find myself working on the house until midnight or later, even with work the next morning! Not surprisingly, I tend to get 6 hours of sleep during the summer yet I find it difficult to function in the winter even with 8-9...
The dark does not really bother me either; the cold limits my outdoor forays far more than the darkness. I sure do appreciate this time of year though, with the sun coming back with enough intensity to actually warm you. Nothing is more depressing than day after day of overcast skies this time of year. Thankfully, we have had about two weeks of clear skies.
Outdoor broomball again tonight and the temps should be around zero. If folks show up on time, we might actually get an hour of it with daylight! Exciting...
