I'll start.

Hey Weasel, what's the real deal with lifetime fluids and is BMW incapable of making window regulators and cooling system components that last or is it all a money making scheme?

Oh even I can answer that... diplomatically.. See, window regulators fail because of the extremely heavy and strong door of BMW's, since they are so heavy, they shut hard and sh*t loosens

Yeah, I would beleive that if my front regulators failed first, but my back went first. On top of that, the rear doors get shut much less frequently and they are not necessarily heavy by any means.

Yeah, I remember hearing rumors about a third flavor at the time but I was still struggling with believing in the Moon landing at the time.

Just had my tonsils and adenoids removed. (had tonsillitis and they were 4X in size) Minor surgery but damn my throat is uncomfortable.... Thank god for ice cream, jello and roxicet!
Too many late nights on Bourbon St. has caught up to you . Hope recovery is good. New Orleans--everybody needs to visit there---great character and history (outside of the normal activities that go on ie The French Quarter).

funny coincidence- i've been debating getting my tonsils out for the past couple years now ...... keep putting it off as the symptoms only hit me every couple months or so. Generally, they're definitely enlarged, but not to the point of impeding my breathing or swallowing or anything. The symptoms I DO get a lot of are sore throats and discharge from the tonsils sometimes. Really annoying but i just don't feel like doing the surgery.

btw, i'm 30 now ....... I know i should get them done sooner rather than later. How many days does it take until you feel good as new?

Wishing you a speedy recovery, Weasel!

I had the same surgery 14 years ago and remember the pain like it was yesterday!

I don't think that they know about Blue Bell north of the Mason Dixon or west of Texas. It gets no better.

I need to have the same surgery.

Speedy recovery.
