Re: [MBZ] Going home today

[Scott Ritchey via Mercedes]

How do you prevent recurrence?  Warfarin (rat poison) is tricky and requires
monitoring and diet control.  SWMBO switched to Pradaxa which costs more but
does not require frequent monitoring or diet restrictions.  Pradaxa has
similar competitors now, so may get cheaper.

Re: [MBZ] OT Leah Remini

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

It’s completely crazy. I can see how people can get sucked into it, there are a 
lot of people out there who have needs I guess. The money aspect is wild. 

My former wife told me that before I knew her, she was living in Boston a few 
doors down from where the CoS had a building. They were always out trolling for 
people, inviting them in for a meal and lecture. Being a college student or 
shortly after, no money, she did that, free meal hey why not. After a few hours 
(once in, you stayed) she tried to leave and they wouldn’t let her, doors were 
locked (Fire code???).  After some tussle and creating A Scene she finally got 
them to let her out. Scared the hell out of her. Wild stuff. 

I worked with this guy who had some occasional interaction with L Ron. He told 
me that he had discussed this Scientology thing with LRon, who said the whole 
thing was this giant hack he kinda did as some sci fi kind of mental exercise 
(LRon wrote a lot of kitschy sci-fi novels, nothing very good but sorta 
entertaining) just to see if he could get people to do it, invent some sort of 
religion, and it really surprised him when it took off for real. I guess LRon 
decided to roll with it, kinda live in this fantasy he created.

Re: [MBZ] OT: A Life Lesson

[Clay Monroe via Mercedes]

SWMBA is a lawyer.  She does not seem very enriched to herself, as she claims 
being deprived of man bits leads to less enriching.  She seems more enriched 
than I am.  I think her agitating for more enrichment of diverse populations of 
ambulance chasers could lead to enrichments at a much later date.  It is not at 
all a source of current or mid-term enriching.

There are a vast cadre of lawyer pursuing “justice” who will not see any 
enrichment unless they switch to representing people/corporations with large 
hordes of enriched funds.  I think the justice league are in it for brownie 
points and to feel self smug that all that hard work is leaving them living in 
poverty and consuming nutrients that food eats.

Re: [MBZ] W124 HVAC blower motor

My 2014 GLK 250 has "keyless go" ignition.  I am scared of leaving the key
loose inside the car, in case I forget and walk away and it decides to lock
me out.  For that reason the key always resides in my pants pocket.

I used to do it all the time when I delivered pizza in my younger
days. I did lock the car of course. This was before remotes were common;
I had a key on a lanyard and ran my belt through it so I could not lose
it.

Re: [MBZ] OT Leah Remini

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

She did two seasons of it and really ragged on them big time. They’ve got it 
out for her like you can’t imagine.

They’re right over in Clearwater and have pretty much killed the city. They own 
most of the property downtown and don’t do anything with it because they got 
pissed at the city a few years ago when the city wouldn’t sell them a piece of 
land they wanted. Their followers set up all sorts of shell corporations and 
have been systematically buying up all the real estate.

It’s creepy. If you venture downtown all you see are their creepy converts 
walking around in their black pants, white shirts and vests. They look like 
zombies.

If you’ve got the time go to the St. Pete Times web site and read everything 
they’ve written on them. Leah’s not kidding.

This is a really good article on how they’ve bought up all the real estate 
downtown:

Nope. Not answering those questions. And back out the ones you started with,

I stood over her at the computer for a minute and watched her remove my

you?” After that response my internist must have redlined that question as I've 
never gotten it again.

[MBZ] OT Leah Remini

Thank you, Don.

I remember now someone posting he got a finger/thumb pinched by the wiper
assembly because he did not disconnect the battery ...

I presume I can also change the HVAC filters at the same time.

Seeing how it's now late, I guess I won't be starting the process.

Re: [MBZ] OT remember when electronic heath records were thought to be a step forward?

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 The office I go to has been on electronic records for about 15 years now. I 
hadn't been in for a long time so the last time I went they did a full review 
of medications. The had me listed as "Currently Taking" every drug they had 
ever prescribed for me. That included 5(!) different blood pressure, 2 
different cholesterol, and the same blood thinner but twice. They also thought 
I was taking MASSIVE doses of vicodin every day because I'd been prescribed it 
when I broke my wrist and then had re-upped that prescription. 

Nobody seemed to question that I would be taking all those drugs. I gave the 
doc a really hard time about it, "Wouldn't I be dead? Wouldn't that cause your 
governing body to ask some uncomfortable questions?"

[ned kleinhenz via Mercedes]

I hear you Allen.  After driving one of those a week or so, it becomes like
an extension of your own body.  And I think that one is a particularly
coveted model.   I've owned a few bimmers.  I loved driving them. But hated
working on them.  Every fastener is impossible to reach.  Generally I don't
think they are more problematic than Mercedes.  It all depends on the
particular year and model.  The more exotic ones have more expensive
problems.

Sounds like you might benefit from a visit to the Mayo Clinic.  One of my
male co-workers did his annual physical there every year after he reached

Re: [MBZ] OT I like the idea of this...

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

I drove one of those when I did the track day at the BMW plant some 
years ago.  It was kinda small but surprisingly roomy inside for my 6'4" 
container.  Good performance too.  Seems like you could find a cheaper 
Cheep Class though, I see those things all over CL and FB.

Re: [MBZ] W124 HVAC blower motor

In my limited experience (two dead blower motors) one died after the car
was not used for a long time, and the other was dead when I bought the car
so I'm not sure what symptoms (if any) were exhibited when it died.

Here is the kit from Kent:

In Indiana probate is 20% of assets not directly transferred via a trust or 
joint ownership.

2k is pretty cheap to avoid that.

Re: [MBZ] OT: A Life Lesson

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Plain probate. Wills, durable power of attorneys, etc., etc. There’s far more 
to it, but in general it’s what most people need for it to be done right. And 
that’s for a couple (two people.) He does a complete review of assets and how 
they’re held, gets all the familia details down, inventory of property, etc., 
etc. It’s pretty thorough.

A trust is about twice that much or more depending on how complicated it will 
be.

I don’t know how competitive the costs are compared to other attorneys - our 
guy is both a probate and tax attorney, which is why we chose him. I suspect if 
you do it with someone who practices only in probate it might be a little 
cheaper, but in the long run, who cares if you want to be sure things are right?
