  • any ideas why my front disc brake caliper bolt keeps falling out?

    I ve had to replace the top bolt/pin three times now, it keeps falling out. I have used lock tite on it. I ratchet it down pretty tight, but after a month or two my brakes will be squealing and when i check it, the bolt will be gone and the caliper will be hanging by just the bottom bolt.

    I dont see how it could rattle loose, do i need a new caliper?

  • What did I see in the night sky?

    I have some 15x70 binos and it was Crystal clear so went to a dark sky spot. Found andromeda and m13 then was just looking at the milky way when I spotted a diffuse object south of vega. I can't figure out what I saw it was a little smaller than m13 but wasn't a star. The only thing in that area is m25 but I didn't read that you could make it out with binos a scope is needed. Wasn't south enough to be the eagle nebula. Any ideas?

  • Can I correct my lazy eye?

    I had surgery when I was a child to keep it from wandering but I am 31 now and have half if less vision in my right eye. Last eye doctor I saw said iot is called amblyopia and there is no way to correct it, I am too old but I have read this may not be the case, seems 50/50. Does anyone know of a success story of someone who has improved there vision later in life either by patching the strong eye and forcing the weak eye to function or by other means?

  • Can someone build a walkway bridge across a stream?

    near my house there is a brook that connects to a medium size river and someone built a permanent walkway across this brook right where it connects to the main river. The brook travels several miles to a lake that has a public access. I used to kayak down the brook and onto the main river but cant now that the bridge is there. Is that legal for someone to do if they own property on either side of the brook? The main river is 70' wide or so and the brook varies from 10 to 20' wide, about 15' where the bridge is.

  • What can i do?

    I love in town, and these neighbor kids are always in my yard. They hit my house with baseballs, wreck my trees, and climb on my kids swingset. These kids are 13yo or so. I've asked them to stay out, talked to the parents who do nothing, called the cops twice. Once when one kid was destroying my Apple tree with a bat, and one when a different kid was hitting my dog with a stick. The cops told them to stay out both times but they won't it's every day. Last tine i called the police didn't even show up. I'm really annoyed. Obviously i can't be mean to a child, but what would any of you do? I've spoken to the kids dad several times, and he is a real prick, acts like I'm some asshole. If they hit a ball in my yard or something like that i don't care but these brats are deliberately wrecking my stuff.

  • How difficult will it be to replace my oven element?

    The bad element came out fine, but one of the wires disconnected from the element behind the back of the oven when i slid it out. The other wire came out fine. Is there a way to get at the wire so I can push it through the tiny hole into the oven so I can connect the new element? I cant get to the wire through the hole, and the back of the oven doesn't seem to come off easily.

  • PC wont post/boot?

    I replaced the CPU, and since then my PC wont boot, get no signal on monitor. Replaced new CPU with old one and now that wont work either.

    Heat sink runs at full speed, and the power light on my dell is solid orange instead of green.

    I removed the video card, and all but one ram stick, no luck.

    I removed the battery to reset the BIOS, no luck.

    I tried both CPU's in a different computer, and it does the same thing, wont post/boot.

    Did I likely fry my CPU somehow? I wore rubber gloves and was very careful about static.

  • Why can't I let go of my cheating wife?

    We've been married for 6, almost 7 years and have two kids, 3 and 6. We own a home, cars, and have literally spent almost every day together as a family, since we met. We married somewhat young, I was 23, her 22, but had a great, loving relationship, until the end of 2010. She suddenly became completely emotionally detached, and all the nice things I did for her, that used to make her smile, suddenly had no effect on her at all. This confused me, and I became paranoid, checking her phone, and kinda spying on her. I found nothing out of the ordinary, until I put spyware on the computer, and found she was having a really disgusting affair with a 19 year old, she was 25 at this point. I confronted her, and she immediately called off the affair, and we did counseling for 3 months, and were wonderful for a long time. Now 4 months ago, I noticed the same exact trend as before, but instead of being paranoid about it, I decided to start questioning her directly. She denied it, and became more emotionally attached, but i could tell it was forced. I continued to try and make things better, which smothered her. She finally asked to separate for awhile, so she could work on herself. I moved in with my parents for 2 months, basically staying the night with them. I continued to pay all the bills, cook, clean, take care of her, and all that. One of my neighbors said they noticed someone sneaking in through a downstairs window a few nights, after I would leave, so I checked her phone one day, and sure enough, while telling me she was starting to have feelings for me, but needed more time, she was actually having this same guy over almost every night. When confronted with this, she acts perfectly ok with it, and wants to be my best friend still, which basically means me taking care of the kids and everything else, while she dates this guy. I moved back in, to keep this guy out, and i don't believe my kids ever met him. I am still very caring for her, even though she is throwing this guy in my face, going on dates, talking about him, yet still wanting to spend most of the day with me.... I am not perfect, and my friends believe I am being a total pushover and am being used, but I can't let go of her. If she asked me today to take her back, I would in a heartbeat, even though she is being horrible, and is using my niceness and guilt to justify her affair. I have talked to a lawyer, and even with 50% custody, I would get hosed with alimony and child support. I am in a crap situation, and I know I need to get away from her, but I just cant.
