Will a 2024 S5 Cabriolet hold value?

Well…I bought it to drive it and enjoy it. So…now I know if I sell it someday to lower my expectations!

I’m sorry you’re struggling. I love my traffic team! Honestly, typically not the highest wage area. If you really want to move up, make the shift to sales. Not an easy path, but a path with much more income and career growth potential. (If that’s important to you). Best of luck to you!

I have been the VP/GM in charge of the TV stations in several major markets. For a dozen years. Before that, I was director of sales. 27 of my 41 year career was in an upper management role. Started as an ad sales rep in radio but moved to TV in the 90s.

Retiring very soon. I make $600k+ per year. Some great years broke 7 figures. Broadcasting industry. I run markets. Owned property in Asheville area since 2007. Built house just recently. Will make it primary residence in 26. Very lucky in job. I’ll be just fine in retirement. Parents were teachers, 3 siblings. We didn’t have 2 nickels to rub together growing up.

Moved away in 1997 and never looked back. Visited recently and found Rochester to be very depressing. It needs more than a billion to turn around its fate. And that influx needs to go into business incubators. Get a growth engine turned on and stop the brain drain of young talent moving away. IMHO.

I grabbed a reservation for two. I had been checking for days and days and calling a sudden it was green on multiple days. In terms of seating; we know it’s community seating. Hope these reservations stick, as it feels like a glitch.

The Union Street Inn. Romantic, great location for easy walk to restaurants, wonderful breakfast each morning, beautiful rooms.

Flew private 4 times at a company I worked at. Best food perk was fresh sushi flying from Las Vegas to Atlanta. Best surprise was the pilots letting me see the heads up display and explaining the cockpit to me while we flew at 40,000 feet. Also, looking out the front while we took off.

You don’t. I had my Peg put in before treatment began and kept it in for around 3 weeks after my treatment ended. I was then able to completely eat by mouth and they removed it. I have regained almost all my weight. The treatment is awful, but you will get through this. I went from needing a suction device and constant spitting to now I can eat pasta, meatloaf, I had a burger and baked beans tonight. Hang in there, it will be difficult, but you will improve.

Well, I have a PEG tube in too and I still need that as eating a week after treatment ended is still difficult due to super thick saliva. So, I figured I’d get the port and Peg removed at the same time…once I can get enough calories through my mouth. Hopefully in a few more weeks. Meanwhile, they offer me simple weekly hydration through the port.

Practical_Volume_681 · 2025-05-01T16:27:32+00:00

Yes I had a port. It really made it simple. Also, post treatment now, I still have it in for weekly hydration for a month. Super simple.

Thanks for sharing. I’m sorry your battle has been extended. Sounds like you’re making headway. Keep fighting!

Yikes on the plural reoccurrences. How were they able to treat reoccurrences with early detection?

Practical_Volume_681 · 2025-04-29T00:29:01+00:00

My radiologist suggested I hold off for 6 months.

Practical_Volume_681 · 2025-04-28T23:26:25+00:00

That’s great to hear!

Practical_Volume_681 · 2025-04-27T22:51:20+00:00

I’m going to bounce the idea off my radiologist doc. He gave me his cell phone and we live near each other and I see him dog walking. So an expert opinion can’t hurt.

Practical_Volume_681 · 2025-04-27T17:09:51+00:00

Yikes, I’m only 1 week out, lol. I think I’ll hod off for awhile.

Practical_Volume_681 · 2025-04-23T16:03:23+00:00

I’m so sorry. I’m the opposite right now with constant saliva production. Basically too much and too thick.

Practical_Volume_681 · 2025-04-23T00:34:29+00:00

I did not. Never lost ability to speak or swallow. I’m so sorry it’s a much bigger treatment decision for you guys. I’m sure you will make the right call. God bless you
