  • Riding LAwn Tractor Mower Craftsman vibrating after hitting a rock?

    My dad had a great idea for me to do on one of my jobs at a rental to save the lady money.Instead of raking all the leaves and hauling them off just mulch them with the riding lawn mower well it was ankle deep little more actually and I brushed my feet through them picking big limbs and junk up but still missed a stone like a garden rock and lifted the deck up immediately but still now the brake pedal vibrates like crazy even without the blade in gaged. Any suggestions on what it could be. I looked at the blade does not look bent down or anything but still going to change it to see what it does if that don't work what else would you believe would make the brake pedal vibrate like that?

  • I would like to hear your ideas about chore and behaior systems.?

    My kids are 16yob,8yob,5yog. Mykids respond well to money. So I want to put a value on chores for them to earn their allowance everyweek instead of it just being given to them. I also would like to make a funds jar that they have to pay certain amount of money for misbehaving. Kind of just as adults who break the law must pay fines and just as adults must work to earn their money I would like to set something up like this. I would like to hear different things you do with your children .

  • Are registered child molesters allowed to take pictures of kids?

    Today my 8 year old son was riding his scooter around the block and he came running in to let me know that the man in a house was taking a picture of him as he was riding down the road with his cell phone.The house that he pointed out to me is on the national registry online for a registered sex offender and his crime was child molestation. So I called the police and told them that I am a little uneasy about him taking a picture of my son and does not sound good. Basically they said they cannot do anything about him taking a picture and they cannot just gop up and accuse him of tking a picture because he has rights and it is not illegal. And asked why I had a car come out for this that this was not a matter to call police on. I felt like the one who is wrong and I even called my husband first to tell him at work and he told me to call the police.I understand it may be nothing but if it had well at least I know my son listens and does come to me and tells me if anybody approaches him talks to him or anything else he feels is strange.I also told him that he done the right thing to come to me and to continue to do so and reenforced not talking to strangers.

  • What is wrong with our german shepherd puppy?

    Our family has a 13 week old german shepherd puppy.House breaking is a disaster we have been crate training him but I walk him and even counted how many times he went he pooped 12 times and peed 3 times then when he seemed all done and just playing I brought him back in and he pooped again on my floor and this happens all the time. Today I put him out side on a leash from 8 am to 1 pm and yep sure enough first thing he does when I brought him in is poop in the house.. I long time ago our older dog had puppies and she had 5 puppies that did not give me as much trouble as this one. Also he is very thin and starved looking the vet said maybe cause he is active try feeding him less more often but I told him we feed him all day . He tears in to the food bowl like he is starving to death and extremely skinny. When the bowl is empty we fill it again and he empties it and we fill it .I do not know why he does not gain more weight.
