    New dog owner needs help?

    I recently got a Border Collie/Australian Shepard mix from a local couple. He was 9 weeks old when I got him 3 weeks ago. I am trying to get him to come when I call him, he recognizes his name but does not respond to "come here" or "stay". I am 69 years old and never had a dog before so no idea what I am doing. Benson seems very friendly to other people, especially ladies. Also neighbors kids love to come play with him. How can I get him to respond to commands?

  • My yahoo mail is extremely slow and I have to reload it several times to get the delete function to work.?

    Takes at least twice to load the inbox and then several more reloads to get the functions- move, delete, etc.. to work. Other e-mail providers are opening very easily so it seems it is only yahoo that is slow. Any suggestions?

  • I have a 2014 Ford Fiesta with 6 speed automatic trans. After driving for a while I found the transmission jerks going from 1st to 2nd.?

    Service manager called it shuddering and said it would go away. I have found there are many service bulletins for this problem and even some lawsuits from lemon laws. Will this shuddering go away or am I stuck with this jerking at takeoff? Any transmission experts familiar with this?

  • Trying to date again?

    Was married for over 20 years. Been divorced for several years and trying to date again. Things have changed a lot since I dated last. I have one young lady that has started to join me at breakfast at a local restaurant every Sunday morning. I am not sure how to read her. If she is interested romantically or just as friends? She sits with me and chats until her family shows up later. I just found out today she has never married and has never had any kids.

    Another lady is a server at that restaurant who recently gave me her e-mail and phone number and we have been in contact thru texts. She is a divorced mother of several kids. Again is she just being friendly? Or is she interested?

    Also I have recently came into contact with old school friends that I tried to date back then. Both are divorced now and I see them occasionally in the area.

    I just can not tell if they are interested romantically or just as friends? Any tips?

  • How to get cigarette smoke out of the walls?

    I smoked for over 30 years and the ceilings in this house show it. Now that I quit I have been trying to clean the walls so I can paint. But the yellow stain keeps coming back. What will kill this stain? I don't want to paint if this is just going to bleed thru and look ugly again. I have used different cleansers like 409, water and bleach, windex. A few days later it all comes back as if I did nothing.

  • What is wrong with my sewing machine?

    I am trying to use a sewing machine and don't know what I am doing wrong. It is a Singer machine. Age unknown. The stitch on top of the material looks fine but underneath near the bobbin is a huge tangle of thread. I have to remove the bobbin cover and cut the thread to get the material away from the machine. I am an old man and have not used a sewing machine since high school- 40 years ago. And I did not pay much attention then. Please help me.

  • 2000 Taurus radio problem?

    I have a 2000 Ford Taurus SE with factory stereo. The radio will suddenly stop working and you never know when it will start working again. I have checked the wiring in the trunk Control Unit and it all seems tight. What else would cause an intermittent problem like this? It may work for a week or may quit 5 minutes after coming back on. The dash unit remains lit up and all information is visible, just no sound.
