    Serious floormats

    I had to take the driver's side mat out because of that. It was rolling on the right corner and pushing up against the gas pedal.

    How hard is it to change your car's brake shoes?

    Thanks for the info! We just got a coupon for an auto place and it looks like we can save some money on brake shoes right now. Guess I know where we will be going this weekend.

    Walking vs. Driving

    I think if you lived in the city and everything was close by it wouldn't be so bad. I'm in a rural area, however, and everything is too far away from me.

    How hard is it to change your car's brake shoes?

    I had the front brakes done about a year ago, but now the back brakes need to be replaced. The mechanic quoted $175, but it looks like you can buy your own brake shoes for about $75. I was wondering how hard is it to replace brake shoes? Is this something you can safely do yourself?

    Noisy AC unit

    Does it mainly do it when the AC is on and the car is stopped or parked? Mine was making a loud rattling noise. It turned out to be the compressor.

    Why Would You Want a Harley?

    Well, I'm a female so I'm not trying to pick up chicks. I want one because of their reputation and performance. If I have a choice between a Kia and a Mercedes, I will pick the Mercedes. Same way with a bike.

    Air Fresheners

    I don't use them, but I would love to find an air freshener with a lite scent. Most of the ones I have tried are too strong and I get migraines if I'm around them.

    Free GPS?

    Someone told me about a new App for your phone that is actually a free GPS. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of it. It allows you to interact with other drivers. Does anyone know the App I'm talking about?

    Have you never had a brand new car?

    The car I drive now was bought new. I finished paying it off a couple of years ago. It currently has 112,000 miles on it. I would like to drive it until it hits 212,000.

    Female Mechanics

    I've had some bad experiences with mechanics in the past, so I am leery about trusting any mechanic. I would probably be more comfortable dealing with a woman, but I wouldn't trust her more just because of her gender.

    Air Conditioner Troubles

    The AC has gone out in my Jeep. The mechanic said it was the condenser. I looked online and it appears to be fairly easy to replace. Has anyone ever done this kind of repair themselves and if so --- how hard was it to do?

    Flush TV mount

    I think as long as the mounting brackets are designed to hold the weight of the television, you should be fine. I would like to have a telelvision above the mantel on the fireplace, but haven't figured out how I would do that and keep the wires hid.

    Black bear

    Male deer do the same thing by scratching off the bark of a tree with their antlers. It is a way to let others know that they have claimed the space.

    Terrible headache

    I get migraines when the weather changes and also when I am under a lot of stress. I am starting to wonder if I have some allergies to certain foods that trigger them too. I had some spaghetti for lunch today and the tingling feeling of a migraine started this afternoon.

    Wyndham Rewards Program

    I have memberships to quite a few reward programs, but none for hotels. I haven't done much traveling over the last few years, so haven't had to think about it. I am hoping to start taking some trips this year, however, so it is probably something I should consider.

    Pizza

    I would say we eat pizza at least twice a month and sometimes more than that. My "go-to" food is actually Chinese food because the place near us can have it ready in as little 10 minutes.

    Tire Pressure

    I normally let the guys at the auto place check and fill them when I get my oil changed unless one of the tires looks low. The last time I tried to do it myself I think I let more air out of the tire than put air in.

    TVs in the car

    If they can stream television on airplanes, it seems like they can probably do it in cars. I have been behind several cars lately that have the televisions in the back seat area. My whole childhood might have been different if I had access to one of those! I use to listen to television stations...

    Wasps in door frame

    Since the nests are just getting started, they are not very big. I just knock them down with a stick. The last time I knocked one down, however, they just went to the other side of the car and started buidling the nest there. I should probably just spray them with wasp spray.

    Fess up!

    Inside or outside? I actually have the inside under control at the moment, but the outside is a mess. Usually, it is the other way around!
