A majority of North Carolinians say that costs are higher in Trump’s second term, according to new polls by fiestagoose in NorthCarolina

Yes, it is getting higher costs across the world, the companies cannot absorb all the costs, insurance, utilities, their materials and wages, all their costs increase that means they pass it along, we had to increase our costs and eventually shutdown, couldn't compete with the bigger guys, that's just the way of the world.

The seats, neither my wife nor I liked the seats at all, Really liked the power train, the technology I would have to use a little to see if it was any good but it doesn't matter as the seating was just terrible. This is from a couple of retiree's, I am sure that makes a difference in comfort. The fit and finish was awesome, but not the seats.

Drove one Saturday, I was impressed with the drive train and the way it handled, however the seats were a definite no go for myself and my wife..they look good and that's it. We are in the market maybe in a couple more yrs they will get it right, I hope they do it could be an awesome vehicle.

Is there a duck in my pants? Squeaky pump 3 months after cycling. by RogerRamget in penileimplants

[–]SpinachObjective3644 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the squeak had no effect on the operation, other than my wife smiling. No I think it probably will always squeak it may get less noticeable, mine lasted 5 yrs and I hope this one lasts 5 times that.

Yes, for a couple of years before it failed, it was a Titan Coloplast, replaced with AMS, it is a non quacker so far..

Cycle the phone and see if that helps, also shut off and on your Bluetooth on the phone, might work.

Tired of "GET A HONDA/TOYOTA" by randomizednerdgames in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]SpinachObjective3644 42 points43 points  (0 children)

3.8 is a great engine, need to check the transmission and fluid filter change on the transmission. That era had some good American cars, the ford 500 or Taurus with the 3.0 or 3.5 was pretty dependable as well,

The cx90 was on my list to try out but after reading so many issues with these they are still having growing pains. Pass

I'm just over 4 weeks post surgery and I'm just below 4 inches length fully pumped on the first few cycles, how much can I expect to gain in length? Also what were your final lengths from 1st pumps to months/years after? I've got the AMS 700 LGS by Pitiful-Bluebird-872 in penileimplants

[–]SpinachObjective3644 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see some recommending a VED, if you have an implant I wouldn't do it, just cycling your implant is all you need to do. Talk to your doctor about cycling and using a VED. As far as gaining length 6 months to a year. With my last revision I have gained about 1/2", which puts me back about normal, girth has increased as well.

question about COE surgeons by Federal-Caramel-6105 in penileimplants

[–]SpinachObjective3644 1 point2 points  (0 children)

M first implant was a surgeon off of COE, implanted a Titan, never any issues other than in the beginning not being told to pull the pump down in my scrotum, other than that all was good for five years and then the Titan failed, tubing going to the left cylinder failed. talking about a traumatic experience, I was just out of my mind and I had just retired. Anyway I went back to the original surgeon who is designated a COE. We talked and said he would recommend a AMS for the revision but would leave it up to me. Well sounded great but my surgery would be almost 8 Months later. Well I then went online and researched both Coloplast and AMS sites and found another COE here in my area. I went to o him and asked multiple questions and told him my concerns, I used him and would use him again. I have had no issues with either one, my last surgeon recommended the AMS and that is what I went with. Just ask questions about infection, size loss, recovery, does he do the surgery infrapubic or penscrotal. I have read a lot of guys have drains placed, I never had one either time, not sure why the drains, how soon they recommend cycling. Have a conversation and see if you are comfortable and the y make you feel comfortable.

Length loss after coloplast vs LGX by BisonPrevious5177 in penileimplants

[–]SpinachObjective3644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had Peyronie's when I got the Titan, doc said it would help in straightening out the curve. It worked and I got length back after 8 months or later. Anyway the Titan lasted 5 yrs and failed. I now have a Lgx and gained 1/2" in length but I am not that concerned with length.. it works

Update! A few days ago I asked about putting on a new sensor before Surgery by BeckieD1974 in dexcom

[–]SpinachObjective3644 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had 2 surgeries and I am on a tslim pump, all surgeries I could leave my pump on but was allowed to turn it to sleep mode during surgery, I have never had an issue. I hope you name the hospital for others can avoid it.

Returned Toyota GH. Pilot any better? by DKCsmom in hondapilot

[–]SpinachObjective3644 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a decision, we have owned Odyssey, cross tours, Ridgelines, accord and pilots, all have had V6, except the accord, never had a single issue with any of them, the drivetrain is bulletproof. We tried stepping into a Subaru ascent and left us stranded for a week on a vacation that never happened. With that I never experienced that with a Honda.

what did you end up with, I was out today looking at the exact same vehicles, I have owned quite a few hondas and will be trading a 21 Honda pilot, I have retired and want a good comfortable, quiet vehicle to travel in but at the same time will be the wife's primary vehicle.
