Hers was 6.5 hours! Size of a baseball. It took so long because her colon was wrapped around her spleen and it took forever to get it free so that they could resect it. She’s doing well. Same thing, have to see the pathology report.

Absolutely. My MIL had a colonoscopy scheduled that was cancelled during COVID. she tried to schedule one a couple more times and they kept getting cancelled. She saw a commercial for ColoGuard on TV and ordered the kit and mailed the sample away, and that’s how they found it! That commercial saved her life.

They say 45 now to start. I’m 43 but I’m going to try and get my doctor to order one.

 

For sure. We had our first ones done in our early 40s, and are going to re-do them every 5 years. The procedure itself is not bad at all. The day leading up to the procedure is pretty brutal though.

 

i wouldn't say brutal, just a lot of s[h]itting around. nothing like a good cleanse.

 

terrible about being canceled. i'd have gone somewhere else. anyway, she should submit a testimonial to the makers of cologard, that's a great story!

 

As the owner of a fine 2024 Lexus ES300h and an equally fine 2009 ES350, I am mindful of using excellent motor oils and gasolines. I find it laughable that when traveling and inquiring of service station attendants if they have Top Tier gasolines and receiving answers of all sorts. The most common response by far is a blank look. Anyone else notice this? Anyone ever seen it posted on a gas pump?

 

Here's an official list of the approved Top-Tier Brands, so you don't have to ask those blank-look artists. I myself recommend Shell or Chevron, if either one is available in your area....they generally have the best detergent-additives.

When on a trip I personally feel it matters far less than day to day of you get too tier or not, if they don't have it where you stop (highly unlikely) or the station you want for other reasons doesn't then you can always just buy a bottle of Techron to drop in as you fuel. I often stop at Sheetz or equivalent but get fuel elsewhere when on trips but I almost never stop more than once since I have enough range to get trips done in one stop.

 

Pulled out of my driveway and a mile from the house it's starts pouring rain today and then all of the sudden traffic stopped cold.

I sat for 20 mins and barely creeped a few inches.
What was all the fuss?

A big wreck in the middle of a 4 way intersection.
A green mustang T-boned...

Looked like he was trying to make the light in the rain.

Rant over. Lol

 

^^ i hope no one was hurt.

 

The recommended age is constantly moving down. I got one (at 31), turned out to be (as usual) IBD that may or may not have been triggered by some trauma (lost 2 pets), I of course psyched up a bit about all of that and it turns out that it's becoming increasingly common. Still, treatments / prognosis / statistics (the thing that lags the most and unnecessarily takes away hope) are getting better, especially with the COVID-related research.

Good luck, speedy recovery and no relapses to all involved, ***** this disease.

P.S. no sedation is not as bad as you'd think.

 

Yikes. Maybe lost control in the rain with RWD. Mustang would be really cool if it offered awd.


‘The ES300h is rated for regular whereas the 350 is rated for premium. I think in 2012 Lexus downgraded to regular and the car lost 8HP without the premium




Not a fan.




yikes. What was Lexus thinking
me neither.

and what is the appeal of he colour to you?

I think the Maybach is a step behind. IMO

seems respectable.
I can definitely feel the difference with premium when used in Toyota or Lexus.

in the LX?

oh right. Buick Enclave. I remember you mentioned that from time to time.

I totally agree with you.

you mean a real Hummer?

 

They made 3 of them in 1965. I saw what is believed to be the only surviving one in a museum last month. They opted not to put it into production because the option cost would have been around $500 and they didn't expect it would sell.

 

I am happy to see Shell on the list. I have used either Shell or Chevron for decades. I work for Shell now so I have an additional bias

 

God that would have been insane. No more crowd seeking missiles and by far would be the best deal for pure speed

 

That looks like the military version.
I want the one that's bigger than the H2 with real doors. Lol
