a teaspoon of yellow works for leg cramps. Sounds like you need a new pillow-or possibly mattress.

Duchie, good news about the Doggies getting a home.
I reckon most VW's would stand up to most Jap and Far Eastern cars....imo. They are definitely deemed to be quality in Europe anyway.
I was just talking about Sonos the yesterday with my partner (the company, not their products). We use to do business with them. Expensive kit!

Yes sir DST. All Doggies should have a good, nurturing home to grow up in. I'll be bringing a pack to my home real soon!
It's starting to sound like the old Chevy vs Ford Vs Dodge fight. I think I should just go drive some when I'm ready and then I'll take one from the first salesman I can beat down. It's a flooded market out there and I'm not so sure lots are buying.
Well. I'm breaking one of the cardinal rules of growing. I'm picking a fight with my neighbors, sort of. Well I guess I am. Never, when considering moving upstairs, did I consider that the new tenants cigarette smoking would seep up throughout my unit. I really started noticing it lately because it's getting colder and the windows aren't open as much. It gets worse in the evening when all three are home (oh yeah, 3), and by bedtime I've got a headache and my eyes are burning, and by morning the smell is still lingering and it's what I'm waking up to. It starts in my kitchen and dining area, which is right above their living area. Pretty soon it's going to be winter and I have no idea what I'll do so, I shot them off an email last night telling them how bad it is. Haven't heard back yet but, I'm pretty sure I've turned the heat up here, but I didn't know what else to do. I'm not one to keep my mouth shut these days and I feel trapped. Either they have to move or I do, and I'm betting it's going to have to be me if I want it resolved. #@&%

It's an old building and I notice it comes up where the floor meets the exterior walls and also up the enclosed stairway to my place.
This guy is a real piece of cake. He's been telling me stories, half the time when he's been drinking, about how he's been involved with a "family" organization and has been for the last 11 years and how he's trapped and hasn't had any real friends, boo hoo hoo hoo! Crying how I'm the only real friend he has, and I've only know the guy 2 months. He's like that clingy chic from the bar who tells you they love you on day 2. Then he lies to me and tells me that he got laid off from his job, only to learn that his doctor took him off work after he almost started up a concrete batch machine with 2 guys in it doing cleaning. The guys in the same type of boat as me, only much further back, and he knows it, yet he looks me in the eye and lies. And how do I know this? Because his wife told my wife, who she asked not to tell him that she told.
Ok, here's the kicker. Last week, while sitting around the fire, everyone drinking, except me, and while his wife had stepped away, he goes inside and comes out with a gun in his hand. He puts it in the back of his pants, sits at the fire and starts with this sob story about how worthless he is and blaming his wife for the death of his 10 yr old son in a car accident. My wife and I are there wide eyed, looking at each other wondering what the fack!. I'm eyeballing the metal poker we use for the fire at my feet just waiting to see what he does. My wife is trying to console him and asking him to give her the gun (my wife grew up with a lot of shady people in her life) with him replying, "this isn't the BB gun little girl". Soon his wife comes back out and I made a gun symbol with my hand to let her know and she nods her head and sits next to him. Eventually, like many drunks do, he gets all emotional, stands up and falls over a bunch of lawn furniture. That's when we got up and left for the evening. Later on my wife went outside to straighten out and stepped on the gun he had, which must have fallen out with his flailing, and brings it in. Turns out it's a BB gun and it's still sitting in my place. I haven't spoken to him since.

I hear ya T. I'm ready to put out the few extra bills it's gonna take to get in a small house. The thing is that I had plans to move to a particular place when my girl finishes school this year, because we can't before she does. It would screw up credits she needs for University, so now I have to move once, only to move again next summer.
Who knows, maybe they'll move first. He's stuck here because he lost his license due to his condition, and his wife travels 160km (100miles) a day to go to school. He's already complained how bored he is here but I'm afraid that because he's not working and she's a student, that they wouldn't qualify for another place at this time even if they wanted to.

Hey Duch, going back to the cars, I have a couple of pennies to throw out.
I have been a car guy for as long as I can remember, motorcycles too. I love VW cars and actually went to buy one when I ended up with what I have now. I have heard of people having mechanical trouble with them but I would still have bought a Jetta or GTI. I think part of why I still like them so much is because I started out with the old air cooled VW cars. I had numerous Beetles, a Squareback, a Karmann Ghia and a Fastback when I was younger and still have an appreciation for them. The only water cooled VW I had was a GTI and I loved that car right up until the moment I cut it into pieces small enough to fit in the back of a pickup so I could get rid of the mangled wreck that it became after rolling a handful of times
My brother and I built it into a rally car with full roll cage, custom suspension and engine mods. It was lots of fun until my brother rolled it on a dirt road and destroyed it but we knew that chance was there so it was all good. He only got some scratches and bruises from the accident so we were fine with the car being messed up.
Cars these days are built so similar and use so many similar components that it's really a crap shoot when buying a used car. All you can do is use your best judgement and hope the guy isn't hiding something you can't see or feel. this is part of why I was still wanting a VW after having people tell me their stories about so and so that they know always having problems with their VW. Truth is, that can happen with any car brand if you ask the right people or ask enough people. Pick a body style that you like (hatchback, wagon, coupe, sedan, etc) and start looking at what is offered by the different manufacturers in that type of car. Pick a couple out of that bunch and start looking for those cars in the used market until you find a good deal on one. That's pretty much all you can do other than checking the Carfax report on whichever cars you are thinking seriously about.
Good luck!

I would want to crack him upside the dome with that BB gun too.
What would be a little more PC is to tell him you know he's full of it and you don't want to be smelling his nasty cigarette habit upstairs anymore. Then hit up the leasing office with an email saying your downstairs neighbor is disrespectful to your wife and you are a recovering nicotine addict and need to either have him moved or yourself to another unit due the cigarette smell.
Apartment communities don't like that stuff and, around here anyway, will see what they can do to help you out.

Yup, I agree Dez. Don't know a dealership out there that doesn't have a shop attached. They're machines and things can go wrong anytime. Like I said, give me a low mileage corporate lease back, something that the market is flooded with and take advantage of the savings.
Tell me something. Say you had an 05 and an 08 of any given model, same options etc, and they even have the same mileage and near mint. The 05 is $7k and the 08 is $10k. Which would you buy?
