Congrats, Orange Krate! I love the fact that you finally got yours! Sorry to hear about the boneheadedness at your dealer. I don't know that I would've been that cool. Heck, I haven't even got mine ordered yet, but that day is a-coming! I'm still reading as much at this BODACIOUS GREAT SITE. For all you out there who've posted, I thank you for your input, in all the areas I'm searching in!

You bet! I will be back it is almost a guarantee. I fly to DC, Rockville and Frederick on occasion. I just hope it is either in spring or early fall so the weather is a bit more friendly!

Thanks AARP! I figure worse case scenario...I can always trade in for Orange Krate 4 (Z28)!!!! Sharpen your pencil Becky!

My next door neighbor's 3 year old daughter has two forms of leukemia (rare types). They did an international donor search and found a donor just in time....this was about 9 months ago. The girl has been doing well and then all of a sudden the leukemia is back with a vengeance. She returns tomorrow for the City of Hope and it is not looking good.

She is a real cutie...white blonde, big blue eyes. Her name is Zosia ("Zosh-ia"). I just happened to be with her Aunt Kasia (my daughter's best friend who works in DC) eating dinner, here in Maryland, when the Aunt got the phone call from her sister advising the leukemia confirmation. Obviously dinner was ruined.

I didn't sleep last night thinking about her (as opposed to Orange Krate). Zosia also has a 1 year old brother. One of Zosia's great grandfathers just died too. This is hitting the family all at once. The financial thing has been a nightmare and getting worse.

We are all looking for a miracle but before the transplant she had almost zero percent chance of survival. I will keep the group in the loop. I will know more when I return to California tomorrow.

Prayers for Zosia and her family.

This brought tears to my eyes after reading. I will keep her in my prayers. Thanks for sharing.

Bill

Congrats to you ealfaro on the delivery.
Car-Mine made it to the dealer Sunday night.
I got a call from my salemen Mon telling me that it took a 1/2 hour to dig it out of the snow.
They cleaned it up and stored it inside for me till I pick it up hopefully this Sat. but tonight we got hit with MORE snow.
Took the wife 3 hours to get home!
I have a flatbed to bring him home but if the weather is real bad the dealership said I could leave it till the following weekend.

I think we're the last of 11/15 to get our's.
