    shaky steering wheel esp when applying breaks?

    That would be my first guess unless you were curb jumping. A quick fix to see is to rotate your back tires to the front. edit: how old are the breaks? did you do a bunch of emergency stops? my grand prix got warped rotor and did something similar.

    "Use By" dates - costing you money

    I just looked at it and is mostly corn syrup solids and soy oil plus about 100 other things. Dust fires are nothing new and is the reason why we had to use explosion proof sealed conduit and electrical boxes when wiring grain mills. I also had to wire up a lot of free stall barns in the winter...

    "Use By" dates - costing you money

    I think calling my whitener toxic waste is scientific racism so you better back off on my powdered mac.

    "Use By" dates - costing you money

    A few months ago that happened to me and didn't know why at first. I was mad that I had to dump my coffee and now use powdered whitener instead.

    "Use By" dates - costing you money

    I read most of the website along with all the recommended storage times and methods and am in violation of 99% of it. Especially my potatoes and onions which are kept in a cabinet, all 20 pounds were black and oozing so into the backwoods they flew. After reading about all the molds, spores...

    Private Property and Utility Workers

    Our poco charges everybody $3 a month to clear the ROW and at 20,000 people county wide makes $60,000 a month to cut branches. A few month ago I asked them to trim a big branch from my oak and they said no as it was not in the ROW and my responsibility. I remember in Florida some twenty years...

    Private Property and Utility Workers

    People should know better to plant or attach any thing to a utilities ROW easement as it is generally not legal for the homeowner to do... Right Of Way means just that.

    SS Wedding?!

    My last marriage ceremony was very cheap indeed, in Florida a notary can do it so a neighbor that had the stamp who I did some repair work for did it for free with his wife as the witness, everybody wore bluejeans and the only camera was a 110 instamatic that the her loaded wrong so the film...

    Private Property and Utility Workers

    I always let the homeowner know if we had to come onto their property regardless of any service order or not. It is common courtesy and also didn't want to be shot or attacked by big dogs either - so for me being nice was really just all about my safety. But a quick stop at the door was always...

    Private Property and Utility Workers

    I had to run my fence 6 feet from the house so the meter reader can get to it without entering the dogs area as I would never trust them in the yard with him without me. I asked him when they will be getting the telemetry setup like in the civilized world and he said not in my lifetime. So I...

    Private Property and Utility Workers

    The lineman seldom know whats going on at the central office as it can be hours away and are only doing as the work order calls for. You may talk to only a few of them in your entire life but they have to take the brunt of vileness from irate costumers everyday. Also as BBH pointed out people...

    Private Property and Utility Workers

    That's another story if its not on their ROW but rather in the middle of your yard, is the pole to service your property only? Did you ask the service guys why the main office doesn't call first?

    Private Property and Utility Workers

    I don't think it is reasonable at all to expect them to call or notify you before working on their equipment, though it would be nice especially if they are doing major work. Is the utility easement only accessible from your property? I don't like people on mine for any reason but have to...

    "Use By" dates - costing you money

    I agree and asked the same question before on opened mayo which I still use and has an expiry date of April 25, my 2% milk was just used this morning and has a July 26 date on it, still smells good plus I always shake it good to blend back in the slick that forms on the top.

    Food Storage on $5 a week

    I forgot that I downloaded this 33 minute video a year ago until my last post, you need a half hour of free time to appreciate its humor but may be worth the effort for you. Jean Claude the Gumming Zombie http://vimeo.com/3756284

    Halibut and Shrimp Ceviche

    I could never understand how people could noodle catfish that is just too creepy for me (read scaredy cat).

    Food Storage on $5 a week

    I've been to a few and don't know if these are the ones they speak of but I think one is called Bird Boy's Commune & Nutter Flutter Retreat and the other had something about running around nakkid and sleeping in yurts with goats. Usually those kind of sites are obvious and leave without injury...

    Oodles of free sewing patterns

    I refuse to let you guys talk me into sewing too, canning is bad enough. Though I did just buy a tube of liquid stitch for hemming up my curtains to fit the new windows.
