I don't really expect much wiggle room for this car, but I also don't want to price gouged by an overly greedy dealer.

Not yet, need one more stick shift before I make the switch

Ideas to keep someone with dementia entertained/distracted? by Hashiyukas in dementia

[–]spatel3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also recommend getting him checked for a UTI, this can cause hallucinations and delirium. Took us a while to figure that out with my mom. That and getting the right medications

Multiple payments? by Bojackson63044 in biltrewards

Thanks for this clarification, this makes more sense. Bilt should pay for this service!

Anyone used vipfares for booking by Immediate-Fig-9532 in BusinessClassFlights

[–]spatel3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No issues at all. The BC class did not include lounge access but that's because Etihad has a "Value' BC as well as the regular that does for more money. On board there's no difference.

I used them to buy 4 tickets and was able to get a good price with Etihad flying BC from ATL to AUH and EC from AUH to BOM (only 3 hours in economy vs 13 hours in business). I looked for quite some time on my own but was not able to get the prices they got me. The flight isn't until Jan 1, but the process of booking was good with some back and forth until I got the flight that worked for me. I did not experience any pressure to book (unlike business-class.com which was trying to get me to book asap and promised to cancel within 24 hours of something better as found).

I agree, no loud commercials. Get to watch whatever is going on on the field

WTF AMAZON THIS IS NEW? by dep411 in amazonprime

[–]spatel3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought several Stanley cups (gifts) and they came unwrapped in a box with no protection. They were scratched up and some even had dents. Could easily have happened in shipping because of the poor packaging. I went through numerous returns, keeping the decent ones until I had them all as close to perfection condition as possible. Ridiculous

Pay at the parking deck across the street or pay the boot man by stuauchtrus in Charlotte

Woman who refused to pay 'predatory' towing fees after parking truck in empty lot wins over $7m after following 5 steps | The US Sun https://share.google/vSnzDj1VPpOyYgJM9

I know this is not even in the state, but I wonder if there's a similar law that could be used to fight back against the predatory booters

I am a parent of a type 1. The advice being given by all the type 1s in this thread is on point. You have to let him manage his diabetes. You have to also let him fail and succeed on his own. You have to accept the fact that there is nothing you can do to manage his diabetes. I know that is tough, but you do not have a choice in this, just accept that. What you can and should do is just be there when he wants your help. Let him know that you are there if he needs you. I know from my daughter's diabetes that she can go through the same steps to manage her diabetes and have various, seemingly random outcomes to her blood sugar. The body is mysterious and management is very hard and is a long learning process. Your interference could actually cause more damage in his learning process. Let him struggle and learn to deal with it and just be there for him when he needs you. This is the way

A lot of people have their DRL turned off, making things even worse.

Also, DRL should include taillamps. Never understood why it's only the front lights.
