WHY are you guys beating up on beemer drivers?

Because they didn't get AWD standard?

DukeUsul wrote:Well I managed to catch up on just 5-6 pages of LTE this morning. We're through two days of wake/funeral stuff. It's very sad to sit around with 80-something parents lamenting the loss of their 50-something daughter. My FIL recommended something like "you probably don't want to bring Katie to the funeral home" but we told him we disagreed. We brought Katie to the wake and the funeral and she was the best medicine. Nothing like a happy toddler to take everyone's mind off of things and provide some smiles.

We're sitting at my in-laws house in Little Egg Harbor today. May not get in the water today, we're having periodic rain. My parents and brother will be coming today to visit. The rest of Lisa's family will also be coming over. Hopefully for some happy times.
I hope that your wife's family will be comforted by memories of happy times with her aunt. Having Katie there will remind everyone that happier times are ahead for all of you.

I was born in Hawaii. And I don't think you can get there from here in one of these:

Yes, I do. And I love it.

DukePA has a Mini Cooper, and it's made by BMW, too.

Three procedures, two plus months of discomfort and pain and I think I'm ready to put my wisdom tooth extraction behind me.

I wasn't expecting it to be that fast, but I think he is paying extra for it. Also, I'd love for it to rain while I'm here so I can what effect it has.
CB&B - is the webcam for security purposes and so we can go to his link and check out how beautiful everything is there?

Also, does it work over secure wireless? I haven't looked up the product yet, just wondering?
