  • Dog is suddenly stressed by riding in the car.?

    She used to ride great in the car and she still readily jumps in. As soon as we get on the main road or freeway she starts stressing - shaking, staring straight down at the floor (fixated) sometimes will open her mouth real wide and drool comes out. Sometimes she tries to crawl in my lap. She hasn't thrown up. She is Jack Russel/Mini Aussie cross 10 months old. Nothing has happened in the car to cause her to be afraid, but I did have some tires that went bad and were making a bunch of noise. Got them replaced but she is still freaked out. She especially freaks when I hit the bumps along the lane stripes. Any help is appreciated

  • Puppy suddenly gets weird riding in the car.?

    She used to love to go, and still readily hops in. Once we are on the freeway she'll sit and shake, staring at the seat. She's ridden in the back seat since she was small, she's 8 mos old now. I can't think of anything - anyone out there have any ideas??

  • I need a tire genius! Tire cupping on 2WD Chevy Tahoe. why?

    I have had the vehicle for some time and this is not my first set of tires. Bought fronts, 6 months later they were "cupping", told I needed alignment. When I took it for alignment, I was told that I needed tie rods (inner and outer) first. Did that, took back to the shop and was told I needed idler arm and pitman arm. Turns out the idler arm was not really needed, but we did it anyway since we had the car apart.

    Returned to alignment shop, was told it wasn't that far out, but that I should have tires rotated as well. Also replaced shocks. Returned for tire rotation, tires are worse than ever! cupping is so bad I can't go over 60mph without the car being so shaky it's impossible. getting worse.

    QUESTION: is this a

    *MECHANICAL ISSUE

    *TIRE QUALITY ISSUE

    I have had similar type tires on this vehicle that have worn (way to far) and have never, ever had this happen.

    I have had similar tires on other vehicles and have never had this happen.

    I have seen several different reasons on this site for cupping, all over the board.... who has the REAL answer?

    Thanks

  • If I take my car to the mechanic and they can't find the problem what is reasonable to pay for their time?

    I have had ongoing problem with my Chevy Tahoe 1998, 2wd - I have had it looked at by several mechanics but it never "misbehaves" for them. Likely because it mostly does it on long uphill grades - and they don't have the time to take my car on that kind of drive. If they try and can't replicate the problem near their shop I feel like I should compensate them something on the one hand, but on the other hand, I could go broke and never get my problem solved. I'd like to hear from some professionals out there about what is fair in this kind of situation?

  • High end wedding cake bakers.. how much would you pay an assistant to deliver and set up cakes for you?

    This is assuming you are a very busy cake baker and have several cakes to deliver in one day. One may travel up to 40 miles one way to deliver a cake to a venue. What would it be worth to you and your reputation to have a trustworthy and diligent person to assemble and put on the finishing touches for one of your cakes. Thank you

  • Boyfriend's adult kids won't accept our relationship, what's the best thing to do?

    It's not like we're kids, and neither are they, 2 girls 24 & 27 and a boy 15. We are 52 & 54, he has been separated for 3 years, always hoping his wife would come back. She finally told him last April that she was not coming home. So he started moving on with his life. They are not divorced but the process is moving forward, mostly due to mediator not filing papers and discussions about petty issues. (really need a counselor for that, not a mediator, but not my deal)

    Both girls are resentful of their dad having a girlfriend (they were more accepting, though not thrilled when he was casually dating, but now that he has a relationship that might get serious...) The oldest has a child and has told her dad that when she comes to town if I am there (at his house) she will not come over with the baby. The middle one lives at home and barely says two words to me, she tells her dad she doesn't like me because I said negative things about her mother (who I have never met, and if I did say something about her, it was in a discussion with the dad that she was eavesdropping on, but I honestly don't remember saying anything negative about her) The son seems like he is just trying to please everyone, when he and I are alone he is perfectly nice and respectful. Middle daughter told her dad that the son felt the way she did, at that time the son said he did, but other times he told his dad I was fine.

    I am sure the kids are upset over the divorce. I think for the last three years they held on to the idea that maybe they would get back together. I tell my BF that they are just reacting as though it was the beginning of the split. He is upset because he likes me hanging out at his house but it's so uncomfortable for me when the kids are there. He feels like he's been strung along for the last three years by the ex, suffered with severe depression and now it's his turn to be happy and the kids are "dictating" his life. BTW, my daughter (age 30) really likes him and thinks we are good together.

    Any advice to keep from alienating the kids, but letting us enjoy what we have found in our relationship?

    It's getting very awkward there and that is super upsetting for him. My daughter and grand daughter live with me in a very (very) small home so it's hard to have him come here. What, if anything could I say to the daughters to help them not be so angry and be a little more accepting of their dad's happiness? I am typically not hard to get along with and most people really like me - I am at a loss.

  • Vocal Chord Damaged through screaming, how do I know if it's permanent?

    Over a year ago I was involved in a scary incident and I screamed for my life for several minutes, I was also running while screaming (don't know if there is any bearing on that). Since then my voice has not recovered. I have a raspiness that was never there before. I notice when I sing, I can't hit the higher notes anymore, and just in general it doesn't come as easy (I am not a professional or anything, just my own enjoyment), it cracks & I don't have the control that I used to have. Can anyone tell me if this will ever heal, or did this incident screw it up for life? thanks

  • Foreclosure in Calif question Advice?

    I have been squeeking by and finally see the end of my rope in sight. Approx 3 years ago I had my house for sale, it went into escrow, but the crazy buyer dragged the procedure out for almost 6 months. During this time my tenant had moved out of the house and I had two mortgages. I struggled to pay both and used up all my savings, then had to dip into my home equity loan, thinking that as soon as the escrow closed I'd be ok. Well he bailed a day before it closed. I have never recovered financially from this fiasco and I am on the edge. I have continued to make my mortgages and equity line payments up to this time, I see this next month is going to be the end of the line. So Advice please! Do I continue to pay the first or do I pay on the equity line if I had to choose? I have a pocket listing with some local agents, but nothing is really selling and I am upside down in what I owe. If I end up in foreclosure am I going to be held accountable for the difference of what the property is worth now and what I owe? (and BTW the equity line was not used frivolously - I used it to buy a modular home that I live in now. on another piece of property) This was not supposed to happen this way. My credit score is over 800, and I always pay my bills, I am freaking out, please help!

Any suggestions from anyone who is brutal to their iPhone and has found the perfect solution? I need to keep it clipped on a belt and easy to get off and on is a plus, but if I drop it, having it not be destroyed is the biggest thing. thanks for any and all help

  • Divorce question regarding moving?

    Please help. What are the laws in California regarding moving out of town with the child? There is no work in this small town and living with parents is the best alternative right now. This would be about a 6 hour away move. Can the STBE (soon to be ex) force the other to stay in a town where they can't make a living and make them leave the child there? Could you be arrested for kidnapping if you took the child and went to live with your parents? So far there are no papers filed. thanks

  • Dog Experts can you tell me about excessive Licking?

    Border collie x queensland - 3 yrs old just over the last couple of months has starting licking the areas around her bed. The carpet, I've put down towels, blankets etc, but she licks those too. She will lick these areas until they are saturated. She does much of it while I am sleeping then I wake up and step in a gooey mess! Sometimes I hear her just before I fall asleep, I tell her no, make her come onto her big bed and tell her to lay down, which she does. So she must sneak and do it after I fall asleep.

    Is there any known reason for this, what can I do to make her stop?

    She gets plenty of exercise, we live on a ranch. She eats good quality food. She is UTD on all shots. Help!

  • Verizon Mobile Hotspot?

    Does anyone have experience with this device? I am considering giving up my AT&T high speed internet (via the phone line, though wireless through router) for this device. I want to be able to travel with my laptop and still get internet. Right now I pay for a broadband "card" attaching to USB port, and the AT&T account. It would be cheaper for me to have the hotspot but how is the performance for downloading, photos, etc. I have multiple computers at home that work of the wireless, so I would need to be able to have a similar thing with the Hotspot. thanks for any info from users
