    Hazardous duty pay: Anybody else getting it

    No hazard pay here. I work part time at a long term care facility in transportation. Right now, I switch between transporting one person to dialysis and screening workers at the front entrance. There are three workers who tested positive and myself? I'm not worrying about it.

    US bred German Shepherds and bad hips

    I have a female German Shepherd going on 12 years old this coming June. She is AKC registered and has as much energy now as she did 10 years ago. Only way I can tell she is aging is by the grey hairs on her chin.......just like I have. Her back is somewhat sloped.

    Professional Auto Mechanics

    I work part time in transportation at a nearby rehab facility. I transport residents back and forth to their doctor appointments etc... The best part of the job is meeting new people as they come into the facility and interacting with them. There are no cons to my job.

    Facebook Marketplace BS price car ads

    I purchased a Craftsman air compressor from a guy on Market place that had two mutual friends. It has a 33 gallon tank and all it needed was a 10 dollar belt. He first asked 60 bucks then dropped the price to 45 and I was ready to give him 60! Runs great.

    Engine Stop/Start Seems a Ludicrous Concept to Me Now that I've Driven It

    I defeated the start/stop feature on my 2018 F150 by jumping out the switch on the dash. What I can't figure out is how it worked so smoothly. By that I mean you could hear the starter when cranking engine the first time after manually killing the engine with the key switch. But when the...

    Credit card car wash

    Three of our four vending machines at work have card scanners on them. No way I would scan my card at work for an eighty five cent drink much less a car wash.

    Shaved head anyone? Why?

    Shaved mine back in 2012 in anticipation of me possibly losing my hair due to chemotherapy. Of course, my hair never fell out but grew back more curly than before. So I tend to keep it cut short, anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 inch long. Easier it keep head and hair clean when short, for me anyway.

    Ford's auto stop start

    It's almost unnoticeable in my 2018 STX. I can hear the statrter spin when first starting the truck after stopping, but can't hear it when auto-stop -start is engaged. Just seems like the engine just starts.

    What interesting things have you found in used cars you have bought?

    Wasn't a used car but a brand new one. I purchased a new Chevy Nova hatchback in 1973. While cleaning it one day, I removed the back seat and found a half eaten baloney sandwich in a sandwich bag. I'm surprised the car didn't stink.

    Flu Shot

    I get one because my job requires it. I work in transportation at a "nursing" home. Either the shot or wear a mask until the month of March. Not doing that! No side effects from them.

    Because they use USPS, I will never order oil from Walmart.com again

    On a similar note concerning USPS, I ordered a phone case from Amazon....a fourteen dollar phone case. I received an email from Amazon stating they attempted to deliver my package but could not because.....a signature was required...on a fourteen dollar phone case! USPS has left packages here...

    Looking for a new tablet

    Stick with android. As I type this on my iPad 4th generation, it has slowed down a great deal and freezes quite often. I'm sure the updates over the last few years have just about ruined this machine.

    What does your cat catch!

    My calico female is quite the hunter. Mice, birds, rabbits, big insects.....and moles! The moles in my yard have all but disappeared with this feline on the prowl.

    What!? You change your own oil??

    I'm the oddball I guess. I don't change my oil in my vehicles except for my motorcycles. I can't physically get down on my hands and knees to do it. Well, I suppose I could but it only costs me 40 bucks so why bother?

    cd player?

    My 2017 Fusion has a CD player. I have quite a few CDs that I have burned and still listen to them when commercial and satellite radio get boring. I also use the USB port........ ever ever use Bluetooth.
