R U an RV Mutant too?

[TLGPE]

Hey Steve,


Some friends of ours, Rose and Eddie Rice, have expressed an interest in getting legal and becoming bone fide RVMs. Have you heard from them?


Also while I have your attention, give Annie a hug for me.

Dwayne and Shara..... I felt guilt buying my new ride, knowing the trouble you are having with yours. But after years of previous spouse dufficulties, and then years overcoming what previous spouses had caused with our financial difficulties, we are finally able.... But now we face medical challenges as well.... Basically, larry is trying to get me in a secure place......

Just know that i thought about not showing it here, but i am like a kid, i am just so exCITED..... I love you both and you are in my thoughts daily........

Bryce, too far for us... Need to stay within a day travel of Larrys doctors.... But if anyone can meet up in that radius... Let us know...... We will.....


Dave.... What did your foot dr say.

Earlene, how are you...

Barb... You can get oxygen bottles without rx, Larry has had some... And used it....

Herb, last call on that color, only what is out there,,, no more orders on it.... Kinda a dirt color?

Steve, thanks...

Many of you have freightliner chassis....
Martin told us if you join the club you can get a DEEP discount on jeep, and yes we did.......

Mel we want to do PD, TX, but not sure when.... Gotta check the distance.... but looks great....
Do you know any good places in east TX?

Yes, just to amplify what Di said. If you own a Freightlner chassis you may join the Freightliner Chassis Owners Club ( FCOC ) and enjoy several benefits including Chrysler Affiliate Rewards. You have the opportunity to purchase or lease up to a combined total of two new Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram or Fiat vehicles per calendar year. You don't have to haggle with the dealer as the discount is the "Preferred Price" which is 1% below factory invoice + $75 admin fee. Only the Viper and the GC SRT models are ineligible for this discount.
I found this useful info from the Jeep Garage forum and used it when we bought our Cherokee.

Btw... Thanks to Martin........
We did join the freightliner club and got a nice discount as well as a military discount.

Ok.... Here it is on the Missouri dealer lot....

Funny that it has hurt little in the last 2 weeks!

Barbie, who is a good friend of Sue's, stayed fit and trim and goes kayaking and runs 10k marathons all the time.

It's a group of about 30 of us and we host a huge motorcycle event in Port Alberni. Everyone who comes has to bring a toy for a youngster and our society makes sure that everyone gets something from 'Santa' at Christmas. Since the forestry industry collapsed on the Island there are huge areas of high unemployment so we try to assist the parents with needs.

We've had as many as 2500 bikers in town for the weekend and we've pulled in over a million in cash and a 1/2 million in toys and there is no monetary reward to the members. Every dime we get in goes to the kids in need. The day begins with a bike parade into town, a family fun day (everything free) at a local park, kids games, bike games (some involving the kids) food and then a huge dance for the adults to culminate the day.

The money is dispersed to schools for feeding breakfast and lunch to students, special needs programs and such. Toys are dispersed to groups that provide emergency hampers and Christmas hampers, and Ambulance, Fire and police departments along with search and rescue get stuffies to give to kids in distress when the need arises.

We even support fund a minor camping program.

Please note how the biker parade is treated as a great fun event as the locals line the streets to welcome the participants to town.

Dave,

I had Cortisone shots in my spine prior to being approved for back surgery. The only result was they made me gain 50# and that was after I had gastric bypass! I won't ever take any sort or steroids again unless it's a life or death choice. If your pain has gone away you might think hard about that Cortisone shot. Every medication has some consequences and I sure don't like those.

Compared to who? Oh...okay...I really think she is better because she has been nagging me with things to do, even go shopping with her. I have to go so I can keep an eye on her spending habits. She is still sore so I keep telling jokes to make the ribs heal faster. Not only did the left rib fracture, but the meat around the right rib pulled away and is more painful then the fracture.

Same reply as to Mel.

Earlene said thanks for asking. We are off to see about tires for Citrus.

I had one in my left shoulder 3 years ago. Still good to go!
I had several injections in my lumbar in 2005. That and isometrics keeps it in check.
The tarsals on the left side of my left foot were broken in 3 places oh so long ago. It has always been a faithful barometer!
The pain comes and goes at its own whim, and has been good/bad limp/cane since February of 12, but more troublesome as time goes on. Mildy painful now, but it will be back with vengeance in mind!
It is cortisone or surgery. I avoided the knife on my lumbar and shoulder. Hoping for a redux.
Or would that be a trifecta?
