My I add you as a friend? Missy view Marlene's profile | Ping Marlene Rick McGirr, Oct 7, 2009, 1:20AM EDT Hi, Bert. Thanks for the tap on the shoulder. Yes, we're different, but very much alike at the same time, I think. At least we have similar opinions on religion. It's always good to meet reasonable people. Enjoy! view Rick's profile | Ping Rick mandy sedinger, May 17, 2009, 11:45PM EDT just stopping by to say hello ! hope all is well with you! view mandy's profile | Ping mandy Thomas W., May 16, 2009, 9:43PM EDT you honor me. view Thomas's profile | Ping Thomas Ruth MacGill, Apr 10, 2009, 12:15AM EDT Hi Bert - Just thought I'd give you a follow-up on the shuddering Toyota pickup. I finally bit the bullet and charged the repair work at Sears. They said it was bumpy rotors and replaced them. I also had the wheels aligned, tires rotated, and oil and filters changed. They said it was fixed and I was very relieved. But I had to brake suddenly on the freeway at about 70 mph on the way to town Monday and it shuddered. At least I know the wheels won't come off. view Ruth's profile | Ping Ruth Gisela S., Apr 8, 2009, 7:19AM EDT Hello Bert! Just a quick note to thank you for stopping in to read my little blog post. (Even if you DID spoil my Bell suspense!) It doesn't seem to matter how long I am away from Gather. You always find my little offerings and leave a comment. I just wanted to let you know that I notice and that it is very much appreciated. Take good care of yourself - and I'll see you around!

Have a nice day today and please be my new friend! view Alkistis 's profile | Ping Alkistis Bert B., Nov 26, 2008, 7:33PM EST I think this thread should die, Apryl. You added some much-needed new thought, but the comments from most of the others are just repetitions of things they said two hunred posts ago. view Bert's profile | Ping Bert view all Pings » top
