We're definitely not going to make it to the shoot tomorrow. Mama Snap is having excruciating spasms in her back and left side.

Hope mama feels better soon

Back spasms are terrible. Had to sleep in my recliner. A few years ago I had to go see a specialist.

anything with the back is awful….

One does not have to replace the tire sensors. In fact one can remove them completely from the vehicle and then go into the vehicle "computer" has recode the tire sensor so the warning light does not come on ever again.

Ahh the beauty of being able to understand code.

or...

Don't use fix a flat

Can I ask which doctor and if they were able to help? She has an appointment with Dr. James St Clair next week.. he's a back and spine specialist.

I'm drawing a blank. The office was south of the Merrillville hospital.

I used Dr. Tyndall from lakeshore bone and joint for my fusion…. I used two
Other doctors if you’d like to know who not to visit….

OK, I think I know where it is. I went to Dr Schwartz there for my shoulder.

Please dish. She has been through enough.

This is even more local than the Region, but if you have ever used the Strack on U.S. 30 on the west side of Valpo, you have likely seen that there is a divider between lanes with large rocks in it. This, apparently, has become difficult for some drivers to navigate. Example:

So now this divider has become knows as "Rock Island" and has become its own thing. First there was the cones:

Then there was the flamingos:

And now- this:

I have to be honest. I think this is just what we need to overcome the partisan divide.

Rock Island is now marked as a tourist destination on Google Maps with reviews. All 5 star so far.

Maybe next month I'll be able to attend a shoot.

It's not jedi vehicle but wow just wow!
Guess they don't expect peeps to replace the flat and just call someone?

Unsure what to do in this case. The truck has room for a spare but will this owner really change it. 1000% doubt it as they did not even know how to screw on the license plate.

The youth now a days!

I haven't had a spare tire in my car in 11 years, last 4 cars. The last car I bought that had one was my 2009 Infiniti G37.

Spare tires are casualties of the mpg war

That and they get away with I because people still buy those cars.
If no one bought them...

First it was for performance. Losing the 20 pounds might subtract 1/10 of a second on that 1/4 mile run.

Not to mention that the new non explosive fix-a -flat doesn't work!

Those tire sensors are $65 to $85 to replace.

The one time I had to use it, it worked well enough to get me to a shop to replace the tire.

Apparently it has a Facebook page as well now. I saw it in all its grandeur earlier this evening.

Try SLIME. You can get it at Tractor Supply and other sources. Works better that Fix A Flat. Can last for hundreds of miles.

I have a FULL sized spare on the trailer hitch

So one doctor was K. Singh from rush / Midwest ortho

and the other one was Dr. Hyder in Merrillville.


I also recommend surgery as a last resort……. I am still paying for it and likely will the rest of my life.

Thank you so much. I don't think she would be a candidate for surgery, but I agree, it is a last resort. I'm sorry that yours went so badly.

I'll bring my van over to your house.

The old stuff melted the rubber inside the tire and sealed the puncture permanently.

If it wasn't for guys smoking when they popped the tire and blowing themselves up we would still have it.

This is why we cannot have nice things.
