    regretting my decision?

    Watch out!!  (JO is pretty positive)  Be careful the 'church' you're attending is positive too!  As an (ex?) independent, fundamental, Baptist church goer...

    How DID I Get Here?

    The Saga of the Pets: Within the last 7-10 days my big dog (who just won't back off cats) injured BOTH of my darn kitties.  They are 'wilderness' kitties and LOVE to live outside the fence in the park, or down in the 'wash' attached to my property and there is a huge state park literally across...

    Hesitation, weird shifting on my Sienna

    It sounds like you have more going on than my simple Sienna issue where it was just jumping at gear changes. I had a transmission flush done ($125) at dealership, and that fixed MOST of it. I still now drive like grandma til I'm in overdrive. ;) I was pretty bad about just stomping the gas...

    Whats wrong with hairy legs

    Perhaps it has to do with the INGREDIENT list on all those chemicals most non 'tree huggers' use on their bodies??  Read a few and you may see the 'connection' ;;) Shampoo, deodorant, soap, cream rinse, even toothpaste.  When one get free of the chemicals, the next obvious step is perhaps to...

    How DID I Get Here?

    June 9, 2016 A few days ago I saw a FB posting of a local person raving about a local mechanic.  I gave him a call, paid him a little bit and we worked out the arrangement for my house battery, cables, etc.  I left saying we'd talk on Thursday, and after checking my 'funds' decided to just...
