I finally found a car that seems to fit my needs, that I like. An acquaintance has a 2000 Corolla for sale. It has 84K miles on it, stick trans, A/C, and 4 doors. The owner is a mechanic who has been driving it for 4 years, and says it is in tiptop shape. I haven't seen it yet. Does anyone know...

I started thinking that this might be a good deal because my friend takes meticulous care of his...

If you're not used to cold weather, make sure you wear warm, waterproof clothing and footwear. Dry boots are very important.

When you get satellite-based internet, how does your signal/data upload to the satellite or get onto the internet? Is there a transmitter or what?

Peterson looks guilty to me, but I hope his conviction gets overturned on appeal. Accepting hearsay evidence like they did in this case is a very bad idea.

Don't let your relatives' opinions influence you, it's your life and you need to do what feels right for you, not them. Just let it happen at its own...

One of my neighbors shoots them and then grinds them up in his garden with his rototiller, for fertilizer. He grows the biggest tomatoes I've ever seen.

People that let their pet cats run free whenever the cats want to, are doing their cats a disservice. Free-roaming cats spread and pickup all kinds of diseases, get ran over, get chased by kids and dogs, mess up gardens and cars, kill birds, and so forth. Unfortunately, I think your best...

My friend in Orlando just traded in his 2005 Prius for a new Prius C. They gave him $11K on the trade-in. He said he couldn't resist.
