my lease ends but i really want to purchase ready to move in house.
my little ones needs space to grow and run around, my commute from BK to LI is exhausting. My wife also works in LI, she also drives BMW. she is willing to drive another brand so I can stay with BMW. I have to see where numbers are with lease others vs BMW |

I honestly don't know how people make that commute. It's brutal.

I confess that I miss those great drives on the TSP (Taconic State Parkway), Palisades Parkway, Bear Mountain Parkway and Route 218 between West Point and Cornwall. However, I’ll be visiting NY this summer to reminisce.
Any tri-state folks wanna meet up for beer o’ clock? |

Supra drivers get an exemption, as do Subaru WRX drivers. Those 2 cars draw a completely different crowd than the rest of the stuff in their line-ups.

Around here WRX drivers are some of the most obnoxious idiots on the road. Right up there with brotrucks, because I think the same crowd drives both.

Hmmm...interesting. I never really noticed the driving habits of the WRX-ers, probably because they're not very popular around here for whatever reason. Plenty of Outbacks and Foresters, since they're popular with the NPR crowd and where I live you can't swing a cat without hitting 2 or 3 pencil-necked soy connoisseurs.

Ricers with jobs? The WRX is kind of a "boy racer" sled, now that I think of it.

So just logging in for the first time in a few days.
Had to rush my dad to the ER on Friday after work. I have been so busy that I hadn't been by to see him in about 7 days. He had been to the kidney doctor early this week, so I wanted to see what the results were. I'm so infuriated that he wasn't admitted then and there when he seen the Nephrologist. He had put on almost 31 lbs of fluid, was broken out in a rash all over from his kidneys not working, and could hardly move. It was like I was carrying a dead weight to the car. He is swollen everywhere. His blood work shows that he is in Stage 4 Kidney Disease. He is a diabetic, and although I have worked with him on diet for years...I can't be there every time he picks his food. Plus his generation doesn't know what reading the food labels mean. Last year I had him doing really good, but he fell off of the wagon. First day they tried to catheter him twice and couldn't because of the edema and swelling. Then the Urologist tried about 4 hours later and couldn't. I could hear him moaning when they were in there and almost lost it. Yesterday he had to get an Echo performed to make sure his heart was strong enough so that they could put him in surgery to try the catheter and a probe to look around as his bladder was at a critical point. Add a UTI on top of it, it was a bad situation. I left late last night when they brought him back as he was knocked out. My brother works nights and I work days managing a plant. So he's with him this morning and then I will be with him in the afternoons. He's only 67. My mom is disabled, so no help there. He has to do everything himself and let it get this bad because he is too proud to ask for help. I'm trying to be positive, but also trying to convey to him how serious this is. The last couple of days have been really rough. I'm trying to keep a strong appearance up, but it's killing me inside. My daughter is a nurse in the Cardiac ICU, so she is helping keep me updated when I'm not there. And I am at a point in my career where it is very demanding. So I feel like I am being hit from every angle. This is the hardest thing I have faced since my son died. I apologize if this brings up any bad memories for anyone on here. Hated to open the day on such a depressing note, but I had to vent somewhere for a few moments.

Rmtt So sorry to hear about your dad's health issues. Hang in there, stay strong. At least you have your brother and daughter.
