The reverse is past the 6th gear, but it just drops into 6th. As far as we know, we need to take up to first then over to R, but by the time we got it home, it would just not reverse. By then, we'd made a few stops, and it did reverse, so it's not that it wasn't working from the start, it was just difficult to make happen. My husband is familiar with manual transmissions but has never had a problem like this. Is there some special trick that we don't know about?

I've been broke lately and only putting in 5 dollars worth of gas at a time, which only lasts me about two days. However, last week I put in $15, and my tank seems to be lasting longer (as in, I'm not using gas at the same rate). My car, which is a 2005 Corolla, seems to run better with more gas. Is there any scientific basis for this?

My boyfriend and I bought a used Playstation 2 for lazy days like today, but just found that it has a parental passcode on it. I'm twenty-eight years old! How do we override the code?

Would something with eucalyptus be best (Johnson&Johnson makes a baby bath with eucalyptus)? Or Epsom Salts? I think I have a strain of the flu and I just _hurt_.

I'm just starting a diet and am trying very hard to keep to my eating plan. I'm taking in far fewer calories than I had been. What can I do to make this bearable while my body adapts?
