Guest guest Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 Shall we have a contest to choose a design? Who's going to build it...DeLorean? How many directions should it go in? I think sideways would be a refreshing change. Should it have fins? How about a running board? I was thinking lime green would be a good color, with great big butterflies on each side, in honor of the shape of the Thing We No Longer Have. I'm not referring to our brains, since we only lose the use of those temporarily. Oh, the headlights would have to be enormous. I'm not sure why, I just think it would look neat. And a big old-fashioned klaxon-style horn. And maybe it should be a convertible. With air conditioning and a radio/CD/cassette deck. Anyone else have any ideas? Oh, here are some interesting dates: On August 8, 2001 I was diagnosed pre-operatively with thyroid cancer. Bright and early on the morning of September 11, 2001 I had a partial thyroidectomy. On October 16, the birthday of one of my best friends, I had a completion. On August 8, 2003 I was cleared to go back to work after a negative scan (I love the way they use a pessimistic term in an optimistic sense!) on the 4th. My mother died of inflammatory breast cancer in 1972, at 49; I was diagnosed at 50. Today, August 10, would have been her 80th birthday. With her cancer, she didn't have a fighting chance. With mine, I had better than that, and a large group of doctors, nurses, friends, relatives, neighbors, colleagues at the Free Library of Philadelphia, and patrons helping me. We fought and won, and as long as I keep doing what I've been doing, with the high-caliber care I've been getting, I should continue to get the same good results. I think my mother would have been proud. Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 It needs to have horrible hair on top, sticking out in all directions, and falling out all over the road, with puffy " cheeks " (fenders), somewhere near the driver's seat area. Even though it has a neon " glow " , it's paint seems to be dry and peeling. It needs to be fat and slow, and wander all over the road in an aimless manner. It should stop every so often to figure out where it's going, so a GPS would be a good thing to get it back on track and then it can creep along, stopping frequently to rest. The thycamobile could have those night vision things that help it see at night, and a prescription windshield for the daytime. Its headlights should have a blank stare. It should have a large supply of tissues for the emotional part of the trip, like a particularly touching billboard. NO AIR CONDITIONING! And blankets in the back for those sudden chills.In fact, it should have a big tub full of warm water for soaking. There should be a full array of LID snacks; carrots, celery, carrots, celery, carrots, celery, and oh, meat and a skinless potato. The thycamobile will certainly be a LowRider. With attitude. Hmmmph!
