I just bought a brand new 2014 Dodge Journey. Being old school and "breaking in" the engine I thought it best to do an oil change at 1000 miles. So at 932 miles I swapped out the oil filter, drained the oil and refilled it. As soon as I started it up and puled out of the stall the oil warning came on. Then the check engine light. I rechecked the drain pluget and the filter...ideas?

There's a lot of background so if you need more just ask. about 12 yrs ago we first met. I was dating her best friend. But when all of us would hang out her & I both knew there was something more between us. We never got the chance out of respect for her best friend/my-ex. Over the years we would run into each other and one of us would always be with someone else. Now finally after all this time we are both single. Problem was I was working way too far away for her to visit.

I was so excited that we would finally be together that I sent her flowers once a week. I bought her some amazing gifts for Christmas that she loved. I found a new job that was closer to her and that she could visit me at. I would write stupid poems about her. I was completely twitterpated.

Then one night she asks me to say the sweetest 3 little words I can to her. I object at first because I wanted to say them in person. Eventually give in and tell that I love her. Everything was ok at first. But she didn't want to say the same thing to me.

Even though she first brought up the idea of marriage by telling me she was ring finger size 7 and even sent me a picture of an engagement ring, she now says I was too quick to bring up the idea of marriage.

She had asked me if I were to move back to our home town where would I stay. I said I would find a place, she said I could live with her. I said I would want us to get a new bed, she says I'm being jealous(?). Now she says that she only wants to talk for awhile. I'll admit I came on bit strong, I guess. But she was just as suggestive in my opinion.

So whats my question?

I am not sure. I have turned my life completely around just so we can try this relationship out and now she is backing down. Is it really worth my time? No. What I want to know is any advice at all. Anything...

I am working as a government contractor in Afghanistan. I have heard anywhere from 82K to 90K of the money is tax free as long as I spend 330 out of 365 days. But I am not sure what else I need to worry about or need to know to make sure I keep as much of my money as possible. I am single and live in Colorado normally if that helps at all.

I don't really have a place I live in the U.S. and am currently working overseas with the military. Do I have to have a stateside address? Do I have to pay state taxes even though I don't really live there? I know federally I won't pay taxes on the first 85K or so, but what about on the State level?

I know they originally signed him to a minor league deal but I can't seem to find info anywhere to how much we are paying him...

Now that the season is almost over who seems to be a lock to win it? Two for both the NL and AL and then an over all #1!!

I am sorta new to NASCAR but...

A) Why doesn't NASCAR really release what exactly the teams were doing that was considered cheating? You hear about these "substances" and "holes being drilled" but they never really release whatever it is that the teams were doing.

B) Why don't they inspect the cars before to be sure the measurements and holes or whatever are all in proper shape and then again after the race to make sure nothing changed and the manifolds are clean and whatever else?

For my Fantasy NASCAR racing team? Funny > Cool

Does the bar in Jimmy Buffett's single "Bama Breeze" really exist? Did it use to?
