That's complicated. I'm so grateful we're a 2% IMC.

Got to hand it to you Bob. You know how to throw a Christmas party.

I hate this dealership...

Even though numerous people on here have done it, they're telling me they can't enable the TPMS system because I don't have the RDRS system. Apparently the bikes that have TPMS before the RDRS system was created aren't real.

Everyone is out. Went to 3 and then started calling around. Some places aren't even answering.

Exactly what I told Cheryl, and ultimately what we're doing. We left after 10 minutes of Cheryl standing in a room of 500 potentially sick people, in a line not moving.

Times like this you find out where people stand. I told my sister, who was at the party, that someone had Covid and she should get tested. She told me by coincidence she was doing it as we typed. A few minutes later she texts back that she tested negative. I told her we couldn't find anyplace to get tested until next week and the stores are all out of over the counter tests and asked her where she went. Her response was that a friend gave her two at home tests and that she was glad for that so she could test again next week if need be.

This is the same sister that I made regular drop offs during the peak of the toilet paper shortage to give her part of my limited supply, along with food and other things of necessity that were scarce. The list goes on and on and on of the things Cheryl and I have done for her.

Which comes to an abrupt end starting today. Funny how seemingly small actions (that speak volumes) can have big ramifications.

I didn't hint. I told her of our situation after which she told me she had an extra she was keeping. I haven't responded since. Cheryl is beyond pissed. She told me she slips my sister money every time she visits, which I didn't know. As mentioned, the list of things we have done for her goes on and on. Had the situation been reversed I would have jumped in the truck and dropped it off for her without her even asking for it.

So no hints and I won't ask. I shouldn't have to. Now she keeps texting places we should try to find some. Wow.......thanks.

Does your sister want to move to Florida and meet my BIL? He’s looking for a woman who is a good listener.

Lol......as long as you're talking about her she's a good listener. Mention anything about yourself and she "has to go".

Bob, at some point you'll get tired of being taken advantage of, if you haven't already. I've been learning. Right now, my list to do anything for is #1 son, Daughter, SIL,and grandkids and...and...and... I guess that's about it.
