  • Brake question?

    1989 Cherokee. I've replaced the following:

    Pads, rotors, shoes, drums, cylinders, calipers, master brake cylinder. 

    My brakes are still squishy. Manually bled all 4, still squishy. Went out and bought a pneumatic brake bleeder, bled them again, still squishy. Any ideas?

  • 401k Disbursement tax question?

    I recently changed jobs, and my 401k wasn t huge for that job, and I already had an IRA, so I went ahead and took the disbursement for the entire amount when I left. I had gotten a loan for $3,000 the year before, and it was almost paid off. The total disbursement was $6000. Since the $2700 I had already paid back on the loan was after taxes, would that be taxed again at the disbursement?

  • How do I find part numbers for my 1990 Fleetwood Southwind?

    I just bought my first motorhome, and sure enough, it broke down. The air Injection Pump seized. So I called Fleetwood for the part numbers, they said to call Chevy.

  • I have 16 collections listed on my credit report stemming from my divorce a couple years ago, and my credit is truly horrendous.?

    I have some money coming in and can pay off 12 of the 16 and have already received the paperwork confirmations that they are Pay to Remove. My credit score is currently a 520. How much will this increase my score? Of course I know you can't say exactly, but has anyone been in a similar situation and what were the results?

  • Can't sleep after having tonsils and uvula removed and septum rebuilt.?

    I went in last Tuesday and had my tonsils removed, my uvula removed, and my septum rebuilt. The pain is still excruciating at times. Here is the problem:

    Drinking water is painful, eating is almost entirely out of the question. I've lost 12 pounds in the last week. I do still manage to get about 1/2 - 3/4 gallon of water or gatorade down every day.

    When I go to bed, I can't breathe through my nose due to the splints that are in there until this Thursday. So breathing through my mouth, it dries it out so bad that after an hour of sleep I wake up with my tongue stuck to my cheek feeling cracked. If I drink anything at this point it shoots pain through my saliva glands, and all down my throat.

    I have bought a cold air humidifier, and been running that at night with no change. Has anyone had to deal with this trio of surgeries, and how did you do it?

  • Turkish cabbage wraps?

    One of my best friends mom is not eating, and very sick because of that. Every time I talk to her, she brings up Turkish cabbage wraps. She said she has tried the Lebanese and the Greek cabbage wraps here in town, and they weren't what she remembered from when she was a child, and that is what she wants. Is there anyone with an old Turkish cabbage wrap recipe? Also, when I take them over to her, should I serve them hot/warm/cold and any condiments? Thanks!

  • How to get in through the trunk on a 2001 VW Jetta?

    I just bought my son his first car, a 2001 VW Jetta. While he was learning buttons etc, he put the key in the drivers side lock and turned it all the way right, rolling up the windows, locking the doors, and turning on the alarm. Apparently, the lock is broken, because while we can make the horn honk all day turning the key to the right, it won't unlock turning to the left. The only other way I can think to get in without hiring a pop a lock is to go through the trunk. Problem is, I can't find any latches in the trunk to lower the back seat to climb through, Any suggestions?

  • I have an Australian shepherd puppy (6 months old) that just won't learn?

    We have had him since July, and he is as smart as a whip. Loves to cuddle, can't stand not being around his people. Here are the problems:

    He pees on the floor every night in the same place. Huge area. I clean it every morning, enzyme it, and put him outside. He knows he is in trouble, and cows when he goes out. I started picking the water up at about 7pm, 3 hours before bedtime, and letting him have plenty of chance to go outside to pee. He still does it. Last night I decided to try to crate him in my room so he wouldn't feel alone. He didn't pee all night, went out in the morning,a and peed up a storm as well as pooped. I brought him back in, and while I was taking my shower, he peed in the same damn place. I can't let him upstairs because it is carpeted up there, but this is getting ridiculous.

    Also, he steals food from my kids at the table while they are eating. If he can't get away with that, he will go into the kitchen, and find a way to pull food off our counters or even the stove. And again, he know what he is doing is wrong.

    I love him, but I am getting really fed up with this. Any suggestions???

  • How long can companies check my credit report?

    I have debt collection companies still calling me 3 years after my divorce, as my wife did not follow the agreements of the settlement. I had one call me today and tell me exactly what was on my credit report. How long can they pull this information without my consent?

  • How do I transfer custody of my kids to myself from my ex wife in Texas?

    My ex wife wants to move out of state, but wants the kids to stay with me. For the last 3 years we have had 50/50 split custody with the kids 1 week at each parent's house. I was paying child support in the amount of $900/mo. At the beginning of this school year, she told me to keep the kids most of the time, and started returning my child support payments to me.

    She is now ready to remove child support, and grant me full custody of our kids. She is completely on board.

    What I need to know, is what is the process for doing this without having to hire an attorney? Is there a change of custody and child support form?

  • Google searches ending up in facebook ads?

    Ok, so 4 times now, I have searched for an item on Google on my android phone. The last one was an angle grinder from home depot. Facebook has brought up ads all 4 times of the exact item I searched for through Google. I don't see any permissions allowing Facebook to review my search history, so how is this possible?

  • 47LG50 sound but no screen?

    47lg50 LCD TV, just picked this up at a sale.

    About an hour ago, it would boot up and you could see the LG symbol pop up in a lit box on the left side of the screen. Vertical lines would appear over that and across the screen, then faded out to nothing. No menu, no nothing. PCB looks good, and sound works fine. No flash codes.

  • Dog pees every time you take him for a walk?

    He is about 4 years old, and every time someone goes to put the leash on him at the house, he squats down and pees all over the place. We have tried waiting till we are outside to put on the leash, and same thing happens.We take him to the puppy park at the apartments, and he runs around and enjoys himself, and happily waits to be leashed when it is time to go home. We have tried ignoring it, praise when we put it on at the puppy park, and negative feedback when he does it. Nothing seems to be working. He was a rescue dog when we got him, but that was 3 years ago. If we can't break this, we have to get rid of him, as he pees everywhere when someone touches his collar inside the house. Not sure if it is related, but he also refuses to poop when he is on the leash.

  • Dog pees every time we go to leash him?

    He is a 3 year old dog, and very beta male. We have had to move into an apartment, and every time we go to put the leash on him to take him walking, he pees all over the place. We have tried ignoring it, not taking him out until he calmed down, but usually by that point, the house is covered in pee. We have tried sitting on the floor at his level, and all that gets us is peed on. We talk soothingly to him, and he loves going for walks, but my rugs just can't take much more of this. Help!
