OT Febuary Chit Chat

[Cat Dancer]

No, I don't have any pics, sorry. I just did a bit of research. My van -- WITHOUT modifications -- would be worth $12,000, plus/minus. So probably won't get anywhere near the $22,000 that I paid for it (we bought it 2 years ago).

They're not making the Scion anymore, I found out. 2016 was the last year. I don't know how many modified ones are "out there". Scions themselves weren't all that popular. I have seen one other modified one, so there must be a few. And several "regular" ones.

[SuzE-Q]

I found pics when I googled it.

Pretty impressive and ingenius way to modify it to make it accessible!

[Virginia]

That really is an impressive way to get in and out of a vehicle, but took quite a bit of doing to get it to that point.

Yes, this is same brother who had heart attack back awhile ago. I talked with him this afternoon. I could hear the fluid. The last time we talked, a couple of weeks ago he was clear as a bell. He had lab work done yesterday and was leaving for the Doctor's office when we hung up. He is afraid he is going to have to go on dialysis. They already said he has stage 4 kidney disease. He has still been playing 9 holes of golf and was even today complaining that he had not been able to play 18 and could not walk far or for very long. (Can you imagine anyone complaining to me about that?) That's brothers for you. I am worried. Thanks everyone for asking.

Ann, please send some of that cold weather here. I don't know the temperature in my house right now, but I have not had any heat on and it is hot. Suppose to cool down for a couple of days (not really cold) and then back to this same kind of weather. With no winter this year, I am going to be complaining about summer a lot by the time April gets here.

Ann, please send some of that cold weather here.

I'll be glad to add mine. You're more than welcome to 25 degree high for the day and snow to boot.

:) Cat, Rose, Jendie, Virginia, Linda and all of you who have yourself or a relative needing prayers. You are all in mine.

Jim followed me to the mobility place and told them he knew they should be able to fix it because he does a lot of mechanical and electrical work and that I need it fixed right. He gave them his phone number and asked them to call him.

Three hours later they called me and said it was fixed. Jim came and got me and we went out there and it had been another relay switch. $104. I am so relieved to have it back working. I will keep praying it stays working. Jeanie :)

I had heard that there was a blood test coming soon and this seems to be a teaser for it. Not yet available, as I under stand it.

I just hope it's not used against us, and our ability to drive. They could make it illegal to drive if you are anything but RR. And if you are RR, could set limits for how long you have been RR, and over X years, you can't drive. I've not heard anything like that, but know how they think about MSers.

[Virginia]

Where is sally?

[agate]

I believe she's been concerned about her daughter who was having nonstop flu symptoms probably resulting from taking Aubagio.

Sally, hope you'll manage to check in.

I opened the front storm door to call Peter in from shoveling for supper. My damp hand stuck to the inside handle. Ouch!

Menu: onions, kale, canned diced tomatoes and dark red kidney beans over brown rice. Frank's hot sauce optional but we both add it on top. Yum!

[Howie]

I've heard beans, beans, are good for your heart.......

[Virginia]

Ann, are you saying frozen or fresh kale?

[stillstANNding]

Fresh kale, Virginia. Usually I don't add the tomatoes.

It's almost up to 15 degrees today.
