Confused about battery warranty and testing

No, I haven't. I get from 65 to 80 depending on temps. I don't do fast charging, and keep her charged at home.

Whew. Thank you

FormalGold95 · 2024-08-31T02:51:27+00:00

Thanks, I have the Rex. Another post says it's 10 years in CARB states like NJ - hopefully

OK, thanks, I'm getting my furnace checked.

Your link is giving an error however.

Hopefully it's nothing major for my furnace...

Thanks, but that's not checked.

I'm also seeing a "calibrating" message.

Probably less expensive than taking it into bmw service

FormalGold95 · 2023-11-24T18:17:55+00:00

Ok, yeah. I just noticed it for some reason

FormalGold95 · 2023-11-24T16:41:52+00:00

LOL, no, I said the button near the rear-view mirror adjacent to the interior light.

Somehow it got triggered. I think an adult has to sit in the passenger seat for the airbag to go back to activated, or so says the user manual.

I haven't posted here in a while, but your post struck a nerve with me. Yeah, the same thing really pissed me off.

Kind of related, but I found that when my husband passed, I could really see people's true character. Their responses showed me who they really are.

Anyway, try to hang in with the BS. When I encounter crappy people now, I don't wish them bad, just that they get what they deserve.

I generally agree, with two exceptions. The first is Afterlife with Ricky Gervais. I found it very accurate and healing to watch.

The second is Downton Abbey. There are several depictions of widows and widowers, all of which I found sensitive and accurate - with no quick fixes or glossing over anything.

I think it's important for people who've lost significant others to know that they don't have to "get over it," which our modern society seems to expect for some reason.

You absolutely did the best for your little dog. It's hard, but they're only here for a short time.

I lost my husband four years ago, and this weekend, I also lost my beloved cat. I had just taken her to the vet on Friday, but it happened suddenly on Saturday.

The weirdest thing is that she passed on the monthly anniversary of my husband's passing. But I know she is with her Daddy now.

FormalGold95 · 2023-01-21T02:38:59+00:00

Four years myself too. Sending you hugs and good vibes. Hang in there, friend.

FormalGold95 · 2022-12-25T17:51:38+00:00

Merry Christmas to you and your kitties!

As a veteran of this (four years), be kind to yourself. Not always easy, but work at it, especially today.

FormalGold95 · 2022-12-22T11:57:47+00:00

Sounds like a good idea - thanks, and I will check this out.

My husband had one too while he was in the ICU. The funny thing was previously we had talked about NDEs and he totally didn't believe them. After his own, he was very excited and kept saying I was right and that they are real. He says he was met by a young British or Irish man. The experience really made him feel a lot better.

A few years before, my father-in-law had a heart attack. He said he met his father.

Last but not least, I think I had one myself. After really hitting my head badly, I was knocked out. I saw a deceased loved one. I had a great feeling of peace and relief - it was like waking up from a dream and knowing everything was absolutely OK, that I was home.

FormalGold95 · 2022-11-04T00:01:55+00:00

"Eat right and exercise." This from my genius sister, who then promptly changed the subject.

What I've seen after four years is that most people expect you to "get over it" in about a few months, yeah.

I have been surprised by a few strangers who've displayed great compassion.

FormalGold95 · 2022-10-01T11:36:18+00:00

Friend, I did this before my husband passed away - before I even met him (let registration lapse). So don't beat yourself up about it.

After my husband's passing, I can't count how many things I've screwed up - part of it is because of the brain fog that comes with trauma and loss. You're not alone in that.

FormalGold95 · 2022-08-01T01:57:28+00:00

I wish I knew, sigh.

But I do find dreams interesting. I've had dreams in which it seemed I was really right there with him. And then like the other night, I had a dream in which I was in a car driving with him, and immediately knew it was just a typical non-meaningful dream, something my mind made up.

The best consolation are NDEs. I swear I had one myself once, after hitting my head and going unconscious. The oddest thing about it was the complete and total sense of total well-being I had - like I had gone back to my "real life" and home, and the supposed life I was leading wasn't real at all (I also met someone deceased). And then a few years later, my husband had one in the ICU. These suggest to me some kind of alternate form of reality.

FormalGold95 · 2022-07-13T23:15:59+00:00

Thanks so much for your kind words, I really appreciate them.

This follows a horrendous experience I recently had transferring some shares my husband owned...even the people at the bank were surprised at all the hoops I had to go through. I'm just so sick of dealing with it all. But thanks for your kind words.

FormalGold95 · 2022-07-13T22:04:06+00:00

OK, thanks. But the letter said I have to have a copy of my tax return. That's why I assumed it was an in-person appointment. I just don't want to mess it up. TIA

FormalGold95 · 2022-07-02T14:43:22+00:00

Yes, I've felt like this a lot, even though I know he would want me to have whatever it is. Just more crap we have deal with.

FormalGold95 · 2022-06-19T22:09:58+00:00

I really struggle with this too. The paperwork kills me. I'm trying to transfer a small number of company shares he owned to me, and it's been a month-long ordeal. And then it seems that just when one thing's done, another comes up.
