7 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs11 months agoAm I being tested financially?
I am in my mom's house for two years since she passed away. I don't make much money and take care of a mentally ill brother. I have a brother that lives 5 hours away and around the time my mom passed he said what if I help financially to keep house but doesn't pay towards anything. I have a cousin that is representative payee for my ill brother and gets $1,100 monthly. My brother with me got sepsis 8 weeks ago and is recovering but can't walk yet. My cousin still pays electric, gas and phone and cable and used to give me $600 monthly for food and other expenses. My cousin said she can't give any money since my brother isn't home. With the loss of my mom's social security money and the other $600 I don't see how they feel I will keep house. I feel I will sell house. Am I being tested financially to see what I will do with all this loss of income and if I decide to sell house should I tell them first?
5 AnswersFamily3 years agoWill my job last much longer?
I started a job through a temporary agency the week of Thanksgiving. We mainly fill orders for Steelers merchandise like hats or shirts. Orders have really gone down since the Steelers lost. When I interviewed for the job they said the job will last based on how well the Steelers do. We were so busy before Christmas and had about a dozen extra people but they laid them all off but kept me only with the regular workers. I will say my work output is better than most working there. I now do other things since orders went down. Is there a chance I will get to continue at this job or will I likely be let go soon?

I asked him is it because they are old and he said something about if rotated they could affect my ride and something about being worn. I got these tires from an ad that they will be put in someones yard for whoever comes first. These tires had great tread so I took them in January and got them mounted on.

2 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs6 years agoIf car brakes are never replaced will they fail?
In my state annual state inspections tell if brake pads are worn and need replaced. In most states without inspections it must be the owner that needs to know when they need brakes. If someone never replaced brake pads would they eventually fail and the owner could not stop vehicle at all and if they were going 40 MPH they could only stop car by hitting something?
