    If it's an item on sale I think it's possible but you can't stack coupons on one item.

    Funny thing too is some of the free things require a min total cost but we used to just buy the $0.88 blade at the register and that worked. Not sure if it's changed

    Report on the new front suspension. It is just barely hitting the righthand bumps going over the speed bumps at the speed limit (without slowing to the suggested speed). It's a pretty stout impact though. With the old OME coilovers I could pretty much ignore the speed bumps and barely feel them, although that wasn't true at first so maybe these will soften up in a year or so.

    That was only on the right side though. I invalidated the data on the left side because I turned into the wrong parking lot to get to where I wanted to go so I took a little Off-road-vehicle-only short cut to the parking lot I should have turned into and went over a curb, down an embankment and flexed the suspension out enough that the left front made full contact with the bump stops.

    Sweet baby Jesus, I have to say I hope I never have to go through this again. I should be okay, but if some fool names me as the executor of their estate, when I join them where ever they are, I'm gonna kick their butts all over creation. Maybe this time there's a lot more pressure because I have such personal vested interest, but I can't imagine doing it for anyone else.

    People (us old timers), if you're getting close to your expiration date, please, make sure your will and life insurance policies are neatly arranged and the paperwork is up to date. Instruct your executor to immediately get a probate lawyer so they can get the Letters of Administration to handle your accounts. Making the arangments at the Funeral Home was the easiest thing I've had to deal with so far (thanks for that, Brandon Dobbs, I was very happy with your recommendation). The rest has been a big fucking mess that I can't even begin to clean up until probably March when I get the finalized Death Certificate.

    And make sure you have a beneficiary listed on your bank accounts, annuities, or other cash value accounts. Being the last of my line, if I have anything left, it's going to be divided between St. Jude and the Shriner's Childrens Hospital.

    Educate you executor. I went into this clueless as the day I was born. The only thing I knew how to do was dial 911 and from then on I was in way over my head. All lot of that was my fault because I never wanted to talk about it. It was too depressing, but I wish I had now. Not that I think I'd be much better off because I don't think Mom ever had to deal with this crap herself thanks to her mom and older sister, but I might have been a little more prepared.

    One last suggestion, get a probate attorney on retainer, so he can contact your executor and guide him or her through the process. They might not be able to afford one and I got luckly and qualified for legal aid or I would have been screwed.

    Hope this experience helps some of you out. I know a lot of you are young and are gonna life forever, but you probably have not so young parents. It sucks to talk about but I can tell you it sucks that much worse now.

    It was one of maybe 10 or so within 500 miles. TRDOR w the manual is a tough one to find. Even harder to find at a good price too.
