- how do they get the other drivers to hit the right spots on the door? -- nm - Peglegpete Mar 9, 14:24 2
  - looks like they cover the most-likely-to-be-dinged places. they would have saved big dings from my current and last car, for sure, though those - b. Mar 9, 14:27
  - That I do not know. -- nm - Loyola Mar 9, 14:25

I will say this - I know many CEO's of large companies are so disconnected from the real world - its nice when you find one who isnt... - Capstern Mar 9, 13:19 10
- That sounds crappy. However, people also thinking staying in the hospital longer is a good thing. It isn't. You want to leave as fast as you can. - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 9, 13:54 4
  - that's usually true, but it sounded like they were ignoring her known issues that have led her to need to stay longer in the past. - b. Mar 9, 14:23 3
    - Just having MS wouldn't cause you to stay longer. Unless she is in a flair, which she isn't. Readmissions look really bad for hospitals so they have - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 9, 14:27 2

- " There must be zero tolerance for racism everywhere in our nation." - Epiphany Mar 9, 13:18 1
  - I'm just stunned at how causal they sing the song. And it's an earworm song worst of all -- nm - Remlik Mar 9, 13:19
- good grief - David Boren is still alive?!! old coot. -- nm - Epiphany Mar 9, 13:15 1
