I smoke. The manufacturers, in order to gain some extra fuel economy, have

on when I roll the window down slightly. (Yeah, I know...the best fix is
to QUIT SMOKING!)
But I just can't bring myself to stick those THINGS on my car!
Hey, BTW, coming to Mass for T-Day?

Yet you stick 'those things' into your mouth and suck all that
shit into your lungs...you sure got your priorities all lined up
properly haven't you now?

I'm going to visit one of my clients today. She is on home oxygen.
She is a bit worse off than you...she has lung cancer.
I keep her in good spirits...but it is a terrible way to end this life
:(

Good man Scott...say hello to her and say that I know what it's
like (the oxy part).

She is a VERY feisty woman....and I like people like that.
I've been around a number of people with really serious illnesses. My
personal belief is that it is great to take peoples minds off what is
inevitable...and make em laff..
Just cause you are sick...does not mean it is time to give up! IMHO..

I've been studying the different kinds of aftermarket ventshades for my
'05 Corolla. I've brought up this thread recently but have more say now
having seen some real shades. In parking lot tours I look at shades on
any equipped car I see. I have never seen any make other than "Auto
Ventshades, Lawrence,GA." Some tuck into the window channels and others
have a 1/2" tab that is visible on top of the window frame which I don't
like. From what I have seen on websites like the two below, the "in
channel" is the current trend.
Somewhere I got hold of the "Weathertech" name which is sited below.
Although I'm not sure but I got the impression that they were high quality
items. Does anyone have some experience to offer me?
Also I would like to know which color of shade would look more "natural."
My car is light silver but the window frames are black: light to match the
body paint or dark to blend in with the window frames? Check out the
sites.

I watched my mother waste away with lung cancer. Of all the ways there
are to die, lung cancer is not the way you want to go.
What is the difference in price between the two. My Corolla is black.
Thanks,

I agree with that in general, and thank God although my problem
is a big one, I feel fine most of the time. I wouldn't want to
have a big problem AND feel terrible too. Must be a bitch. Guess
most of us can be thankful because even though some have problems
most could be worse off...

You can always find someone worse off than yourself.
