Has anyone ever had any experience driving with push/pull hand controls? Looking at some options here for pops to be able to get behind the wheel of the Malibu, and with the console shift conversion he’s gonna have some trouble with maneuvering his legs over the pedals.

I’m thinking a single handle push/pull contraption might work well. They’re cheap enough, under $200, and for a Sunday cruiser i think it will get the job done without the need for a tilt wheel column

I don't know anything about these devices but I do know you need to check with your insurance company and probably DMV as this would be considered a major modification to the vehicle.

Have to take Daisy to the vet this afternoon, more bladder problems/blood in the urine. She's battled this a couple times, I hope it's not getting worse. She's already on prescription food to help with urinary issues.

She's fine otherwise, still happy, good appetite, drinks plenty of water. Hopefully we get good news that it's something simple.

As old as I am I have been looking at his pictures every night when I go to bed, feel like a kid sometimes. :)

Just to show what a sentimental old fool I am, when Snoopster passed away I ordered this, it's a dog tag that you can put a little bit of ashes into. That way I know Snoop is with me wherever I go. I am ordering one for Carlito as well. :(

I have the ashes of 2 of my cats in small metal boxes, I had them cremated after they were put to sleep.

I don't know what I'll do when Marmalade finally passes, he's such a big boy even though he's lost 10 pounds since going on insulin and having his food changed. I do know I won't have the animal hospital dispose of his remains, if I can't afford cremation I'll just bring him home and bury him in the yard.

Mom has the dogs ashes in sealed jars with little figurines of what breed they were.

It is really funny to see how much Finn is like our old Westie Tim with his intelligence but has the absolute sass as our Schnoodle Beetle.

Thanks y'all. :)

Well, Daisy has several issues, most of which are relatively minor, but we have to go back in a month and probably start her on heart meds once her UTI clears up.

I sense that she will be demanding many treats when I get home tonight.

I'm beginning to think some people in my complex have forgotten that people are actually working from home. I've had 2 people stop in front of my apartment to have private phone conversations on speaker. Go walk the 100 yards to your damn apartment and take the call. Sheesh

Trouble ahead. Schools, flu season, and a growing COVID-19. More unnecessary deaths ahead.

Sad, very sad. As Americans, we should be ashamed. We can do better.
dont forget EEE. Pretty soon everyone in Massachusetts will be forced inside to play video games and watch tv. This state is going to have a huuuge obesity problem.
