Here is my unfinished story about an old video series I made with my friends. Please let me know what you think, and if any grammar needs to be changed, thanks!
Survive
It was a warm, sunny day. I was sitting in my house, packing my bags. I was going on a trip with a few colleagues from school to a trip to Greenland, for study. After a few minutes I was ready.
I had sent a text message one of my colleagues, Brett. It said that I was ready, and for him to come pick me up. After a few minutes I heard his loud, 1969 Camaro%26#039;s engine roar.
“You ready yet?” He shouted
“Yes..” I sighed
“Lets go then!” He said.
We hopped in his Camaro and zoomed off. After about a 15 minute drive, we arrived at our other friend%26#039;s house. He had a 2 story, double decked plane.
“Here you go.” He said.
“Yes, thank you so much!” I said.
“But, there is one thing.” He proclaimed.
“Yes..?” Brett said.
“You gotta share it with some mental students from Chicago.”
“WHAT?” Brett and I shouted.
“Yes, unless you want to pay for gas.” He said.
“Okay, I will get them, just wait here”
“Alright, dude” I smiled”
About 2 hours later they arrived in a HUGE tour bus. There was at least 50, if not more.
“Here they are” He said.
“Lets go!” Said Brett.
We then boarded the plane and took off. The flight was going as well as expected. It was about 11:30 at night. We were all asleep until the pilot went on the P-A and announced the following message:
“We are hitting some uncalled for storms. We should be out of this weather shortly.”
Everyone fell asleep after that, but me. I got out of my chair, unbuckled my seat belt, and walked up to the pilot. I asked him questions about the weather.
I was in the middle of a sentence, but I was interrupted. All of a sudden, a loud bang was heard. I was scared to my stomach. All of a sudden the plane was flying down.
Within 2 minutes of the crash I was knocked out cold. I had no clue what happened at all. All I knew was I was sopping wet, and I had a huge cut on my arm.
At about, I don%26#039;t know, 10:00 AM I woke. I was dry, and my arm was healed. I was in a forest, and I heard no voices. I was scared that I may be the only survivor. I walked around, soon to see a person. It was Brett. I was relived.
“Are you okay?” Brett said.
“Yes, and you?” I said.
“Yes, I am.” Brett responded.
He must have found his camera. He was video taping. He always did that when something important happened. I tisked inside of my head, but I thought that if we made it back, this could be great to see.
“Uh... dude.” Said Brett
“What?” I said
“ Is that a trap?” Asked Brett.
I thought and stared.
“Yes.. so?” I asked
“SOMEBODY ELSE IS HERE!” Yelled Brett.
“YOUR RIGHT!” I responded.
Now we both knew we weren%26#039;t alone. We were both scared out of our minds. We walked around, hoping for an exit. Then, all of a sudden-
“AHHH!” We heard a loud scream and looked up. It ends up it was two of the mental students. Their names were Adalina and Liliana.
“WE ARE NOT THE ENEMY!” Shouted Brett.
“Oh...” Adalina proclaimed.
Then, after finding them, we continued our journey. Before even going a meter, we met another person. He was an Indian. Right away he greeted us in a kind manner. His name was Austin.
“Hello” Said Austin.
“Hello” I said.
I went off telling him our problem, while Brett, Adalina and Liliana went off to explore some more. I told him we were hungry and needed a place to sleep. He showed us his area and offered us help.
“Brett!” I yelled.
“Come here!”
He came over and I explained what he said to us. I told him that he is building our beds, and if he could help. Brett went over while the students watched.
“Do you think that there are anymore survivors?” Asked Brett.
“No, if there were, they would have heard us.” I told Brett.
It was getting late. I was hoping that we could find some stuff that we could use from the plane, but I was scared to go in there. All the dead bodies, I would turn white real fast.
That night, all 5 of us were sitting by the fire. We all were cold, but glad that we lived. I overheard the conversation Brett and Austin were having.
They were saying there is an enemy. He was a big man, and he had many hand made weapons. They also talked about having protection, and that we are NOT safe.
As soon as I heard that, I feared my life. I knew I wasn%26#039;t safe. After fearing my self to sleep that night, I had terrible nightmares. I had a dream that we were building a base when the enemy came and we weren%26#039;t prepared.
After that I woke up. It was really early in the morning, probably about 5 AM. I was surprised to see Brett up, and not the Indian.
“What are you doing up?” I said in a raspy voice.
“Making weapons. I had nightmares.” Brett Said
“So did I!” I said.
“Here help me sharpen this.” He was making a knife of stone.|||I like it but, i don%26#039;t think it should be mental patients|||LOVE IT(: write more...

Can you let me know what you think of my short story? (It's a fiction based on some stories I read.)?
The Death of My Childhood
I was seven years old when I met him. It seems young now, but I remember it as a perfectly mature age. He was all of ten and the object of every little girl’s desire. He was the best-loved of the town-boys. I recall many girls fighting like mad cats for his affections. I’ve never been a lover of competitions and stayed far away from their battling frenzies.
He was always a loud, obnoxious child which did not particularly endear him to me. I hated any noise invading my personal space. One day, I excused myself from the town church service and hurried outside to fetch my baby sister’s bottle from the car. En route, I took the opportunity of being alone to belt out my favorite lyrics. Closing the door, I jumped in surprise. He was leaning against the vehicle in as much confidence as a now eleven-year-old could muster. His arms were crossed and his face marked with a sly grin. Blood rushed to my cheeks. His look said it all: “Aha, I’ve finally seen a crack in your shell.
From that moment, changes in our daily interactions appeared. He followed me around town just to open every door for me. He stole my diary and returned it to me with a note that he had enjoyed my poetry. He sat close to me and wouldn’t let any of the other boys near. Still, I was shy and wasn’t going to exert myself until I heard him say the words “I love you.”
When I was thirteen, I was swinging idly on the park bench, trailing one bare foot on the ground and the other knee tucked up close to the alarming developments occurring in my chest. Heavily absorbed in a nineteenth –century novel, I hadn’t realized that he was standing over me, calling my name. Frustrated, he knocked the book out of my hand and kept my hand in his grip.
“Why won’t you ever listen to me?” he protested.
I looked into his deep brown eyes. Instantly, I felt my soul seared by their vulnerable expression. He leaned forward quickly and planted a swift kiss on my chapped lips. It knocked the breath right out of me. We both waited hesitantly, started by the happening. Ducking his head abashedly, he dashed away.
We rarely spoke again, and we certainly didn’t exchange love you’s. I wonder what would have happened if we did. I focused on school work and preparing for college and developing my own little amateur business. He soon dashed off to explore the world, hiking through several obscure countries.
I’m sixteen now as I sit here in the town church. In the pew ahead of me, his following of lovers are sobbing violently. His coffin lies near the pulpit, shrouded in boquets, shut tightly—they said the car accident left his body terribly mangled. His parents comfort each other. I sit in the back with my family in the un-relatives section.
Tears escape from my eyes, and I struggle to contain them. Why should I mourn for him? Wouldn’t others despise me for weeping? They thought I only barely knew him.
An ache clutched at my heart. There is something I feel for him that can never be forgotten. I don’t know if you would call it love. I’ve never loved someone before. Did he still love me?
We form a line to express our condolences to his family. I pause for a moment. If this had been some cheesy movie, she would have handed me a three-page note discovered agmongst his belongings detailing how his sincerest affections for me magnified since that kiss. But his mother stares at me blankly. I give her the customary hug and pass by the coffin, running my palm along the oak edge. For just a minute, I imagined it to be a prominent cheekbone, mentally adding tanned leathery skin and the beginnings of a light brown beard.
I do not know if he loved me still or I, him. All I know is that he was the dearest part of my childhood. An abundance of cherished memories.
I bow my head in respect for the dead, the death of him and the death of my childhood. I raise my head, tears dried. This is my coming-of-age story.|||That was incredible! I love your style, its excellent! You really know how to grab the reader%26#039;s attention and make them want to read from beginning to end. I loved it. I liked the way you said %26quot;as I sit here, in the town church. In the pew ahead of me, his following of lovers are sobbing violently. His coffin lies near the pulpit,%26quot; you could have just said %26quot;he%26#039;s dead and I%26#039;m at his funeral%26quot; but you didn%26#039;t, you showed it in a really clever way.
But there is one thing, when she is at the funeral, you keep switching from past tense and present tense. I think you should read through it and make a few adjustments.
Other than that, I think you%26#039;ve got a great talent and you%26#039;ll go far with it.
Well done! You should be proud!
Best of luck in the future =)

I fooled around with a guy i like when we were drunk and he doesnt want to talk about it. What should i do?
Ok, so the story is, when i moved in with my roommate, i met one of her guy friends and i liked him. But i heard so many different stories about him that i kept trying to deny it to myself that i really was attracted to him. Everyone kept saying how he slept with this girl and that girl etc etc and so on... he%26#039;s 29 and im 21... he has 3 kids with 2 different women, and barely ever sees them and he has to pay child support. He lives with his friend and is supposed to pay rent but he owes him a lot of money. And he%26#039;s always talking about how he needs to get laid and he makes dirty jokes...
i dont know, i think he puts on a kind of bad boy front but could be a really nice guy when he wants to be. and i still dont understand 100% why i am attracted to him (if you read above, who would be right?) but he makes me laugh and ....yeah thats probably about it... also i sometimes got the feeling he might be interested in me as well just because id catch him looking at me sometimes and his gaze is so intense, which can sometimes be awkward... but i dont know...
Anyway so back in December, a little bit before christmas, we had a party at his and his roommates place and we were celebrating his 29th birthday, and we all got a little smashed. I%26#039;ve never drank so much in my life before. part way through the night we went to a bar fro the last couple of hours before closing time and some girl was hanging all over him and whispering in his ear and she was all over another guy too. So when we are leaving he tells his roommate not to wait for him (in other words he was going to go get laid / have a one night with the girl who looked quite %26#039;dirty%26#039; i might add) . when we got back to their place we started drinking again and he calls and asks his friend to pick him up because he%26#039;s changed his mind. The girl wanted to have a 3 way and he wasn%26#039;t down for that. So he ends up taking a cab back instead and his roommate pays for the cab when he gets back. we continue to drink and talk and laugh and make jokes etc etc... its getting late and im at this point wasted, my friend goes upstairs with her boyfriend and well we were on the middle floor so we could hear what as going on and considering i was already quite ... erm... horny... it didnt help matters...lets just say i was rubbing against him like a feline in heat... and so the guy i like kinda played it cool and was like %26quot;Im going downstairs to watch a movie...%26quot; he gets up and walks to the basement door and then asks if im coming so i was like sure and i followed him.
We get downstairs i sit on the couch and he%26#039;s searching his folders on the computer to find a movie, and he seemed kind of anxious. Then he started it and sat down next to me (the couch is one of those %26quot;L%26quot; shaped couches a 6 seater so he didnt have to sit next to me if he didnt want to) at this point everything kind of becomes a blur to me because i was far past gone, and all the alcohol was clouding my judgement. So he sits next to me and he puts his arm around me getting comfortable... the movie is on and he chuckles a few times, my eyes are closed and im starting to fall asleep, at some point he started to rub my arm and caress down my side... my arm was across his stomach and to me it was comfortable and i was content cuddling. This is where my memory starts to get choppy, he moved my arm that was across him, and i think he placed it on his crotch and being as far gone as i was i didnt do anything. The next thing I remember is me on my back and he is on top of me with his hand down my pants… I also kept biting him and I think I was kinda loud. At some point I realized my mouth was really dry, so I kissed him again to wet my mouth and it didn’t quite work…. I was in the middle of trying to get his belt undone when I felt it coming… I pushed him off rolled off the couch and vomited. :( yes I know, very sad indeed… first time I ever got sick from alcohol. Anyway… he asked if I was ok and I asked for water… he brought me a bottle of water and sat in the chair staring at the movie playing on the TV… he didn’t say anything to me… I kept saying “im so sorry, im sorry” …. And then I must have gone upstairs cause next thing I remember I woke up on the couch upstairs. I told my friend vaguely what happened, and she was shocked… her bf wasn’t so much shocked cause he somehow knew I liked the guy even though I hadn’t told anyone… I kinda left in a hurry the next day cause my friend and her bf were going to pick up his daughter and I didn’t want to be left alone with the guy I fooled around with so I left.
Next time I saw him was right after Christmas, I had a little dinner party… and one of my friends couldn’t make it, and it was pointed out to me later that it seemed like I tried to set up a triple date which was not my intention,… we ended up going to the bar, and then back to my place afterward, where he started to seem moody and ignored me…
It must have been a few days later I texted him that I wanted to ta|||okay, so.. you%26#039;re attracted to a guy that has 2 kids that he doesn%26#039;t give a shittt about with 2 different baby mamas.. he sleeps around with every skank-ho on the block.. he only turned down some whore at a bar because he didn%26#039;t want a threesome..
i mean COMEEE ONNN. ... all he wanted to do was get some from you.. and he%26#039;ll keep being nice until he does. and he probably will end up getting some because you%26#039;re that niave. then, you can kiss that ******** goodbye.
take it from me now so you want be hurt later... LEAVE HIM BEEE!! get the hellll out of there!|||Too much too read but if he doesn%26#039;t want to talk about it, don%26#039;t pressure him. It%26#039;ll definitely turn him off.|||that is the funniest story that i%26#039;ve ever heard.
but i%26#039;ve done it to so i can%26#039;t say anything. well...with my fiance that is.
anyways...this guy. 3 different kids, 2 different women, and he doesn%26#039;t really see them. i know you like the guy but he%26#039;s a low life. if you can%26#039;t take care of your children then how are you going to take care of a woman?
another thing is...he doesn%26#039;t have a job and he relies on everyone else. stop and think about if you to ended up together. who would be paying for dinner? who would be paying for the movies? that%26#039;s right...you would.
you should have a man that will support you and help you. and you do the same. support each other. but not just one person has to do it all.
i know your attracted to this guy and i understand that. i%26#039;ve been attracted to the wrong people to. but this is just wrong.
if he doesn%26#039;t want to talk about it then i wouldn%26#039;t pressure him into it. i wouldn%26#039;t want to talk to him about it. that%26#039;s what friends are for. lol.
i would just try to forget about this whole entire thing and move on from him. find someone else girly. one that has a job and actually wants to be in his children%26#039;s lives.
if my fiance didn%26#039;t take care of his son then i wouldn%26#039;t want to be with him. if he couldn%26#039;t love his son then how would i expect him to love me?|||If get with him, that will be very stupid. Think...... He can%26#039;t help your life. He has 3 kids he doesn%26#039;t care about. How are you going to be more important than they are? And yet you are wanting to. ??????
i dont know, i think he puts on a kind of bad boy front but could be a really nice guy when he wants to be. and i still dont understand 100% why i am attracted to him (if you read above, who would be right?) but he makes me laugh and ....yeah thats probably about it... also i sometimes got the feeling he might be interested in me as well just because id catch him looking at me sometimes and his gaze is so intense, which can sometimes be awkward... but i dont know...

i would just try to forget about this whole entire thing and move on from him. find someone else girly. one that has a job and actually wants to be in his children%26#039;s lives.
if my fiance didn%26#039;t take care of his son then i wouldn%26#039;t want to be with him. if he couldn%26#039;t love his son then how would i expect him to love me?|||If get with him, that will be very stupid. Think...... He can%26#039;t help your life. He has 3 kids he doesn%26#039;t care about. How are you going to be more important than they are? And yet you are wanting to. ??????
How Is my Story so far?
Please read and give me feed back. Its not done yet obviously...
Prologue
I was in bed about to fall asleep when I saw a pale blue light glowing outside my spider web covered window. A faint humming sound came that vibrated the house. Out of curiosity I got up off my bed and looked out that window squinting, to see that the light was a spotlight aiming at the ground. Two figures began to descend from the sky. I couldn’t really see where they were coming from for the edge of the window blocked my view. So I ran outside.
The air was cool, but with a strangely warm breeze. As soon as I stepped out on to my dried pine needle covered back deck, I saw a huge craft hovering over my house, and the two figures standing under the light. They where a human form with a light green tint. Their heads where normal sized, but had strangely small mouths. They wore a white space outfit with blue trim. They looked exactly the same. Except for one detail, one of them had almost no hair, and the other one had long curly hair. The one with the curly hair walked up to me, and with a squeaky voice that sounded as though he was talking through a radio said, “We are sorry, but there was a misfire from our ship. Unfortunately, your home planet will be destroyed. You are one of the very few humans we have chosen to save and bring to our home planet. You have two minutes to go back to your house and bring back one item and one item only. Go!”
I hurried off into my house. This cant be serious! Earth being destroyed and I only have time to grab one thing?! I think of calling someone to warn them of their impending doom, but I decide against it. Would they even believe me? Even if they did what could they do? I run into my room and look around. This was harder that I thought. What should I bring? The family photo! So I can remember who I’m leavening behind to die? No, I needed something else. There was a loud boom that made the windows crack. I grabbed my back pack and shoved some cloths into it hoping the aliens wouldn’t notice that I had more than one thing. Dashing out the front door, I stopped to look up into the once dark, clear sky, that had been glittered with stars, had now changed to an orangey red. The air even felt noticeably warmer.
“We must go now!” shrieked one of the aliens.
I stepped next to him and felt myself rise off the ground. I watched the earth leave my feet, slowly at first, then a bit faster.
Now miles away, trees were blazing with fire. Sirens echoed from fire trucks and ambulances pointlessly raced to save the helpless. Just as we near the mother ship, I took one last look at my home planet and saw that it was just a ball of flame. Cracks spread through the globe and POOF! The planet crumbled into dust and rocks. All that was left was silence.
Ch.1
Inside the ship, the aliens led me through some halls on what seemed like an invisible conveyor belt. The halls seemed endless. Each door had some strange symbols that looked like gibberish to me.
“Where are we going?” I asked.
“To the infirmary, to prepare you to meet the others,” answered the bald one.
Finally we stopped outside a door with the same strange symbol, but with a familiar red plus sign on the door. The door slid straight up and we stepped in.
Another alien appeared behind a curtain dressed in a white shiny lab coat. He was a lot shorter than the aliens I was with. He pealed off his gloves and took his mask off.
“Greetings human, please step in; we haven’t much time before your welcome ceremony,” He said with the same radio voice, but a bit more puny. “Come, come, sit here,” he said, gesturing to an examination bed. It had some strange tools sticking out of it. Some that looked deadly. Hesitantly, I hopped up on the bed.
“ I am Dr. , but you may call me Arclop,” he said, pulling over a metallic stool and stepping up on it so he could reach me. He grabbed for a tool that resembled a cork screw, but with an electric spin. He turned it on and moved it toward my nose. My eyes grew to the size of baseballs and I jolted backwards. Arclop made a low gurgling noise that sounded like a chuckle. “You humans are easily scared,” he marveled. Clicking off the tool, he put it away.
“That was not funny!” I protested and sat back relieved.
“Put this on,” he said, handing over a folded outfit.
I took it from him to examine it. It was a one piece jump suit. The base color was a shiny white with a baby blue stripe lining the outside seam of the arms. There was a design painted on the back :
“It means human,” said Arclop as if reading my mind
At the hips there was a lime green strap stitched onto the suit that resembled a belt. The feet were shaped like rubber toe socks.
“It’s way to big,” I said and pushed it toward him to give it back.
He held up his little hand to stop me.
“One size fits all, just remove your earth cloths and put it on. I will be back to show you the way to meet the queen,” he turned and walked|||It was an enjoyable read. You%26#039;re still young, so you%26#039;ll learn how to write better as you progress through your schooling. I only read up to Chapter One, though. You did a good job with a lot of the description.|||It kind of made me dizzy but it wasn%26#039;t bad, It could use rewording/ revising, I also don%26#039;t think that the story should start with the aliens but instead they don%26#039;t show up until chapter 2 or something, and then you could develop on the character some more. for instance he could go to school and get bullied or something, maybe focus on the main characters outlook on life and on the world today. Developing on the character would make it more powerful whenever the character has to leave with the aliens and while he watches his home planet being destroyed.

So my car is squeaking like crazy...?
My car squeaks when it is on. We thought it was the belt so we got that repaired. Then for about 2 weeks it didn%26#039;t squeak, but then the squeaking/squealing started up again. We thought it might%26#039;ve been from moisture in the air, but it%26#039;s gradually become worse over the summer and it%26#039;s been fairly dry and not a lot of moisture in the air.
So what could the problem be? It definitly starts to squeak/squeal a lot more when i accelerate, and it%26#039;s just very loud, I can almost always hear it over my radio (and my radio is usually up fairly loud, but I can still hear like sirens and what not when I%26#039;m driving.
So what could the squeaking or squealing be? Is it an alternator? Or what is it? If someone could tell me what is wrong with my car that would be great.
I live in a suburb outside of Chicago, so would anyone be able to mention the price of how much it would be to fix and what the problem is with the price.
Also (not as important) but I have a float in my gas line, so even though I%26#039;m halfway empty (or halfway full however you wish to look at it) the gauge is never correct. It will say I%26#039;m completely full, or sometimes it will raise higher if i accelerate. But it%26#039;s never correct. I knew about this when I got the car, so I%26#039;ve been watching the tripometer, but how much would it be to get this replaced because sometimes it would be nice to get as much out of my car as possible and not having to keep super close tabs on how much gas is in my car. So I%26#039;ve been filling it up at about halfway since I got the car. But sometimes my parents borrow my car depending where I park it in the driveway and they freak out because they don%26#039;t know how much gas is still left in my car because the gauge could be saying empty or just above empty. This isn%26#039;t my main concern though but how much would it be to get that replaced?
I don%26#039;t know if this means anything or changes prices on anything, but I drive a 2001 Pontiac Aztek.
Any help would be highly appreciated!
Thank you!|||If the squeaking stopped after you got the belt repaced it may just need to be adjusted now... as you use it, it stretches and wears a little, when this happens it can mess up the alignment and cause it to rub somewhere, thus giving you that lovely squealing noise. =) It should be a relativley cheap fix, about a half hour labour and thats all. The going rate for labor at my shop (in canada) is $75/hr. Not sure what it is down there though. If you take it to the shop that installed the belt they should adjust it for free.
As far as the gas float issue goes, I dont think you need a new float, but there are baffles in your gas tank (so the gas doesnt slosh around so much when you drive) sometimes the float can get stuck in the baffles or on various hosing within your tank. ( I had a mustang that did this and its gauge read perpetually full) this just means that you have to get someone to take out your tank, open it up and free up your float so it can bob around freely... this can be a royal pain in the butt job, therfore it may be more expensive, usually a couple hours of labour, depending on if they have a hard time with it or not... they also may have to replace seals/gaskets... they are usually less than ten dollars a piece. usually no more than 2 for this job.
Hope this helps, I wish you the best of luck with it.
|||well it sounds like it could be your harmonic balancer or your belt tension. it also could be a berring on your alternator. it all depends on what exactly is wrong with it. i would say take it back into a shop and have a specialist look at it. if it is what i%26#039;m figuring it will cost about 400 dollars with labor and parts included. and to get your gas gague problem fixed you would need your floater replaced in your gas tank. that would cost about 50-150 dollars for the float and about 200-300 dollars for labor. it all depends on where you take it and how much labor is in chicago.

How to care for/wash a bjj gi?
hey guys i have been training in bjj for about a couple months and i just got my gi 2 days ago i wanted to know how im supposed to wash it.
I heard that you are supposed to hang dry it if i dry it on low heat will that be ok?will it shrink on low heat?
should i wash it in cold water or hot water?
how can i minimize the wear and tear?
do i wash my belt?
also i have a blue gi so if that changes how i should care for it please let me know.
thanks everyone.|||Please god wash it every time you get home it gets nasty trust me.Machine wash cold,hang dry then maybe put it in the dryer on low to dewrinkle it.I have a Koral preshrunk gi.I love these things,they don%26#039;t shrink if you dry em and are the best in my opinion.Anyways it%26#039;s easy wash in cold water then either tumble dry low,or hang dry(if it%26#039;s not preshrunk)Anybody telling you to not wash it alot is nasty.It gets dirty as hell,blood,sweat,spit ect...Have fun rolling.Also no don%26#039;t wash your belt.Once you start getting stipes on it they will not stick to your belt if you wash it with em on there.|||don%26#039;t wash it to much and wash it with cold water and dont dry it it well shrink and yes wash your belt|||Hot water is likely to shrink it.|||I would advise washing in cold water and hang drying just to be safe (gis are not cheap)

Im changing the A/C compressor in my car. Is there any special details I need to know?
I have a 98 Honda Civic EX. The A/C compressor I have is locked up, so my a/c doesn%26#039;t work. Im going to get the belt for it now. I%26#039;m not sure if I need to depressurize the system before disconnecting the compressor, but I%26#039;m not sure how to do this. The manual I have says the receiver-drier should be replaced at the same time, is this a big deal? Thanks for any help.|||Yes - the system has to be depressurized. The refrigerant can cause frostbite that can require surgery or even amputation, and if it sprays in your eyes it will destroy your corneas in an instant. The only legal way to do it is for the system to be evacuated by a professional, so that the refrigerant is stored. It can be done illegally by depressing the core of either the low or high side schrader valve with a screwdriver (while wearing gloves and goggles). For a seized compressor the receiver/drier has to be replaced because it probably has debris from the compressor floating around in it.
The system has to be evacuated and filled by a professional anyway - you may be money ahead to have him do the entire job. That gets you around the addition of the oil, the evacuation of the system and the introduction of refrigerant into the system - harder than it sounds. I did all my own refrigeration in the old R12 days but not any more since the introduction of R134a and the laws that accompanied it.
Everything is a technicality until something goes wrong.|||Be careful when depressurizing the system. That sh...tuff is awful sticky and you don%26#039;t want to breathe it. (unless you%26#039;re a huffer. just kidding) Other than that it is pretty straight forward stuff. Good luck.|||you need to take to a shop, to get the freon out it needs to be sucked out by a pump, and yes to warrenty your compressor you will need to change reciever dryer, and orfice or expansion valve.
i do not suggest this for a do it yourself job, to get it working properly the system should also be pulled into a vaccum to make sure there are no other leaks in the system|||have to go to the shop and drain the chemicals out in the proper way, and after u replace the compressor, fill it up in the proper way again...
if you dont do it rite, u may be toxicated or even dead...|||lik some of the others said......your better off taking it to a shop......ive been doing a/c work 25+ yrs and i still git burned sometimes.......also just befor a comp dies it will spit out tiny chunks of metal that can clog the metering device.this needs to be check while the unit is down

How do you install or replace a water pump on a 99 Yukon 5.7? ?
Yes Ive had this squeaking sound coming from my truck for a little while now and I think it%26#039;s coming down to my water pump. I%26#039;ve replaced the idler pulley, belt, and tensioner and the squeak comes back. I had my oil changed the other day and my antifreeze resevior was dry as a bone. I noticed this morning that I had a little leak and splatter of coolant on my garage floor. So it has to be the water pump, right? Well I%26#039;m not sure how exactly to replace it.. if anyone knows please help me or point me somewhere to show me. I%26#039;m not wanting to pay someone cause I%26#039;m pretty sure I can do it myself with a little instruction
Thanks|||you need to pull off accessory belt,fan %26amp; shroud,accessory bracket it usually covers some part of pump then remove pump bolts.best if you get a repair manual $15.00 its worth it to have with you|||very carefully

What do u think of this?
Scientists predict that the daily addition of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, combined with daily removal of large portions of the world鈥檚 forests, will raise the earth鈥檚 average temperature by several degrees in the next century. This in turn will raise the level of the sea and potentially create significant changes in weather patterns on a global scale. As we move into the future, many climatologists expect that most of the United States will warm. What we do not know yet is how to scientifically predict which parts of the nation will become wetter or drier. We do know there is likely to be an overall trend toward increased precipitation and evaporation, and more intense weather systems, in the form of violent rainstorms, blizzards and sun-baked, drier soils. Sea levels have ALREADY risen approximately 15-20 cm (6-8 inches) worldwide in the last century, due to melting mountain glaciers and ocean expansion from warmer ocean temperatures. and if sea levels continue to increase that will cause a change in the tide pattern and moving belts resulting in more Tsunami%26#039;s. possible ones will be hitting New york and as for LA well u guys have the andreas fault line to worry abt and the pacific rng of fire which volcanoes are already showing signs of life. so alot more earthquakes and erruptions for u guys. and any other places around the coast lines r screwed unless your on the mile high city. and even then im sure something else will come after us. and natural catastrophies arent the only things we need to worry abt warmer climates will increase the mosquito population bc of the ideal conditions for the insect. This will then increase the transmission of diseases such as * Eastern equine encephalitis * Japanese encephalitis* West Nile virus* Western equine encephalitis Dengue Fever Malaria Rift Valley Fever Yellow Fever and many others that im sure will start to pop up. and the warmer climates might even make more diseases pop up i mean we already have the The H5N1 virus is jumping species and it is mutating. On June 9 they killed 13,000 geese in Western China, It is only a matter of time before it begins to jump from human to human. were going to be looking at another pandemic like in 1918%26#039;s influenza pandemic. so warmer conditions ideal environments for disease spreading and outbreaks, natural catastrophies like Tsunamies, earthquakes, volcanoes, tornadoes, hurricanes ect.|||When I read your post I was shocked to see that the only thing you left out was that the year 1000 was tremendously warmer than what we have now. Of course the bubonic plague wiped out 25% of Europe 300 years later. All of this BEFORE mass deforestation and the internal combustion engine. Things that make you say, hmmmmmm.
What I would like for you to do is take a deep breath and repeat to yourself that %26quot;everything is going to be alright%26quot;.
Besides, none of us are getting out of this alive.
Hey, this might help you sleep better. In 1905 (approximately) a young doctor, serving the men working on the Panama Canal, proved, unequivocally, a Cuban doctor%26#039;s theory that mosquito control would control malaria and yellow fever. since then, deaths from these diseases has fallen a hundred fold :)|||Well, it%26#039;s an extremely pessimistic scenario. Much of it will, in fact, come to pass, and other unforeseen disasters as well.

Chapter one hows does it sound to you?
I%26#039;m trying to write a book. This is the first chapter so far. How do you think it sounds? Would you read it? What should I change? I know there are a lot of spelling mistakes, the spell check on my laptop is busted and I%26#039;m not the best speller

Chapter 1 – Barely August 1st 2009
I woke with a start. The pieces of my dream were already slipping away. I tried to focus on certain parts hopping to remember them but right when I foucused on one it sliped away. Being myself I got quickly frusterted and gave up. I rolled over and checked the clock. It was 4:17 am. Of course… I couldn’t wake up at a normal time. I could still feel my heart pounding and could still feel the terror I had felt in my dreams causing adrline to pump through my vines. I knew going back not going to happen so I rolled out of bed and turned on the shower. The water heated up fast so I stepped in. The water was warm to me but it probably would be freezing to anyone else. I stood there for a mintue and tried to relax my tense muscles. Then I grabbed a bottle of vinalla scented shampoo and scurbbed my hair clean. A few mintues later I stepped out of the shower. I wrapped myself in one of those tiny hotal towels and went to my suitcase to get my clothes. I walked back into the bathroom to get ready. I was still working in today because I had to finish my report, so I pulled a brush through my hair and brushed my teeth. Then I pulled on a white sports bra and a pair of my black work pants. My hair was dry now so I debated wiether to leave it down or pull it back. It was shoulder blade length and it was flame red. It fell in curlys. Not widl curls but small and a mix between waves and curls. It was sometimes hard to pull into a bun but it got annoying when it was down and got into my face so I decided to pull it back. Then I pulled on a skin tight white undershirt. Over that I pulled on a back holster and slipped a Sig-Sauer p220 .45 cliber with an extra clip into the places… Oh, yeah, I’m an agent for the FBI. I put my arms through the arm holes of my white button down shirt. I buttoned up the buttons leaving a couple open at the top and pushed the sleeves up a little past my elbows. I grabbed my make-up bag and placed a couple things on the counter. I applied a little mascare and eyeliner around my eyes and a little bit of “rosewood” colored lipstick. I looked back from the mirror. After a couple of seconds I sighed. I looked older then my 29 years but still young. I was short at about 5’4 and I looked about 100 pounds. Of course I was actully 130 pounds. Most of it muscle. I had swimming, yoga, and running to thank for that. On my right ring finger was a ring. This ring was a custom made claddagh ring. My parents had given it to my on my 13th birthday. The band was silver and so were the hands. The heart was made of a beautiful ruby and suronded by saphires. It was faceing up because I was single. The crown was made of gold and had two small saphires and one small ruby in it. It was a beautiful ring that stood out against my pale skin. I barely had any curves and was like a B-cup. My red hair normal fell to my shoulders in curls and framed my face which was often described as childlike and delicate. I had medium sized lips, a delicate small nose, and high pretty cheekbones which were sprinkled with freckles. My eyes dominated my face though. They were wide and inncoent looking giving my face the whole childlike innocence. They were bright green and were framed by lashes of average length. All in all I guess you could say I was pretty in the non tradional way. Relizing how stuid I sounded I grapped my belt holster and clipped it to my waistband. It was the kind that made it look like you just tucked the gun into your waist band. Then I slipped my Glock model 22 .40 caliber into it and pulled the matching blazer for the pants on. I looked into the mirror. I looked like a 30-year-old office employ trying to impress my bosses. Also I looked total harmless. That thought made me smile. I could feel the two guns pressed to my back and waist and also the knives. On was strapped to my ancles, another to my uper arm and two more hidden in the chopstick like hair things I had just sliped in my bun. I couldn’t wait to get back home and not have to be so dressy, but of course since I was working with another office I dressed like this in an attepmt to get respect. Of course the first day I was here I relized that wouldn’t be necessary. On of the other agents had tried to flirt and was ziolating my personaly space… he had to wear a brace for two days on his arm. I walked over to the tiny table where I had some papers laid out and started the coffee machine. In a few mintues it was hissing and steming. I sat down and looked at the clock. It was now 5:45 am. Didn’t have to be at the FBI building in LA till 7:00 so I decide to get some work done here. I planned to leave the hotal early so I could get a lot of work done today and maybe leave tomorro|||Definitely some potential here. There are, of course, the typical spelling and grammatical errors, but that%26#039;s to be expected. The important thing is not to worry about that sort of thing, but focus on getting what%26#039;s in your head, heart, and fingers out onto some paper or a computer.
Definitely an interesting set-up, although, I think you spent too long a time describing your character- at one point, I had to consciously make myself not skip over sentences. Try and ease her appearance onto us, a bit at a time, through others teasing her, about her green eyes, or a doctor commenting on how her weight is still at a stable 130, that sort of thing. Maybe use a thesaurus to spice up your vocabulary- good foundation of language, but now we need the frame-work.
It%26#039;s hard to get a good sense of how well you%26#039;re setting this up, as there%26#039;s so little to read :( .
Your sentences tend to run on a bit- don%26#039;t forget to add your commas and punctuation. Don%26#039;t forget to vary in sentence type; simple, complex, compound, complex-compound, exclamatory, etc. You mostly have compound sentences.
Also, unless it is a person speaking out loud, a teen or a hooligan, never EVER use the word %26#039;like%26#039; as you did, in the sentence %26quot;I barely had any curves and was like a B-cup%26quot;.
I very much like your opening statement- it caught my attention and got me thinking. Also, I like the way you seem to be dropping hints, like when you state that what the character thinks to be warm would be cold to anyone else- it may be nothing, but you wonder if it means something.
This chapter definitely shows that you put some research into this, and I like that a lot.
All things considered, a few flaws and oopsies, but once you have those ironed out (and that won%26#039;t take long) it will be very, very good, I think.
I hope that I haven%26#039;t discouraged you in any way at any point- you have true talent. Much of it. You just need to polish it up a bit.
I hope you post more soon. And if you feel comfortable in doing so, please e-mail me more at know_my_heart@hotmail.com. I%26#039;d be ecstatic and honoured to see and give critique on more. Don%26#039;t worry, I%26#039;m no creepy old dude stalking people on the internet. I%26#039;m a freshman.
Keep up the good work!|||I would LOVE to know more, but it got cut off!|||I don%26#039;t like it, sorry.
%26quot;I woke with a start.%26quot; This is a horrible first sentence, it barley even makes since. I stopped reading when the character rolled out of bed and turned on the shower. This makes it sound like the showers right next to your bed.
I would reconstruct this and probably start at an entirely different spot because your opening sentences and very weak.|||I think its good, i skimmed it : ) but when i got down to the bottom it seems to me your character is an adult. Well my opinion makes me think at the beginning your character sounded like a teenager or child. Due to the anger of the dreams or just things like that,|||Good so far...I would definitely suggest you use a spell check (If yours is broken use one online) and remember to read it through because I noticed a couple of times you spelt a word wrong but...Not really wrong. It was just a different word which doesn%26#039;t really make sense. This won%26#039;t show up ont the spell check. For instance:
You wrote: Pump through my vines. I%26#039;m assuming you meant veins...?
It%26#039;s a bit short but since you said %26#039;so far%26#039; I%26#039;m going to assume that you%26#039;re planning on writing more?
Also make sure that your story doesn%26#039;t sound like a list i.e I did this then I did that because of this...If that makes sense? Include speech. Speech is key to any good story. Oh and Description too. That%26#039;s really important so you should try to use more of that.
Here%26#039;s a link to a spell check website: http://orangoo.com/spellcheck/
And here%26#039;s a site about improving fiction: http://research-writing-techniques.suite101.com/article.cfm/help_with_plot_development
Hope that helps a little bit...Good luck with the story! :D|||It%26#039;s too choppy. Who cares what we think anyway? Just work on it yourself. Don%26#039;t post your work on Yahoo Answers.

How to start meaningful work now?
I%26#039;m a teen girl (still in high school) and feel... unfulfilled. I know, I know, I%26#039;m %26#039;too young for that%26#039; or whatever, but that doesn%26#039;t change the fact that that%26#039;s how I feel.
I%26#039;m looking for a job. I want to start doing something now- start contributing to the world now- in whatever way I can, as small as it may be. I%26#039;ve been searching the web for a while but seem to be unable to find what I%26#039;m looking for.
What I am looking for is a group (probably a non-profit organisation) that offers web-based opportunities for young people to work for them. I would be willing to work in news, content, editing, digital art, writing a column or blog, behind the scenes logistics, or any other post they would have me fill. I%26#039;m not looking for pay. All I want to do is to have an impact now.
I believe I could offer a competitive resume to any organisation.
Gosh, I bet I come across as cold and humourless and as a dried-up little teenage snot that doesn%26#039;t realise she%26#039;s in her glory days and should live it up and have fun while she can. Believe me, I have my fun, but this would be almost even more fun to me. The job obviously can%26#039;t be full-time but should be flexible and possibly project-based. I%26#039;ve still got school and life with friends and extracurriculars (okay, just the school play and JSA and the newspaper), too, but am willing to work hard.
Thank you so much for any help. I%26#039;m not as much of a prick as I seem. In reality, I%26#039;m actually a rather odd, sarcastic person with a black belt. So you%26#039;d better not give me cheek, or watch out. I%26#039;m like a ninja in the night.
Bad joke. Extremely bad joke. I%26#039;m fishing to seem normal. Desperately.
Thanks again! Big thanks!|||Go to http://www.idealist.org and check to see which nonprofits are seeking volunteers in your area.

Question to young black men? Will you wear saggy pants after reading this?
an african american friend emailed this to me and I would like to share it with you and get your input:Saggin Pants
Pass this on to Our Youth, Our Parents, Our Black Men and Women
Letter from a college student
The other day, a friend of mine visited me in the lobby of my dorm just to chat while her laundry was drying. As we were chatting, two young freshmen came by. One of the 2 boys wanted to %26#039;talk%26#039; to my friend (as in date). She asked him how old they were, and both of the boys replied 18. My friend and I both laughed hysterically because we are both 22 years old.
After my friend left, the young men were still hanging around and one wanted to know how he could gain her interest.
The first thing I told him to do was to pull up his pants! He asked why, and then said he liked saggin %26#039; his pants. I told him to come over to my computer and spell the word saggin%26#039;. Then I told him to write the word saggin %26#039; backwards.
S-A-G-G-I-N
N-I-G- G-A-S
I told him the origin of that look was from centuries ago. It was the intent of slave owners to demoralize the field workers by forbidding them to wear a belt as they worked in the fields or at any other rigorous job. In addition, men in prison wore their pants low when they were %26#039;spoken for%26#039;. The other reason their pants looked like that was they were not allowed to have belts because prisoners were likely to try to commit suicide. And, saggin%26#039; pants prevents you from running.
We as young Black people have to be the ones to effect change. We are dying. The media has made a mockery of the Black American. Even our brothers and sisters from Africa don%26#039;t take us seriously. Something as simple as pulling up your pants and standing with your head held high could make the biggest difference in the world%26#039;s perception of us. It is time to do right by ourselves. We need to love and embrace each other. No one is going to do that for us.
It all comes down to perception. What people perceive is what reality to them is. We have to change not only the media%26#039;s perception of us, but we need to change our perception of ourselves.
Remember all eyes are on you Black Man. All eyes are on you Black Woman. All eyes are on your Black Child. People point the finger at us and expect us to engage in negative and illegal activities, to manifest loud, boisterous behavior, to spend our hard earned money in their stores, buying goods we don%26#039;t need, or really want. We have allowed not only the media, but the government and the world to portray us as a %26#039;sub-culture. %26#039; They have stripped our culture down to the point where the image of Black people is perpetuated as rappers, athletes, drug users, and consumers of junk food, expensive tennis shoes, expensive cars, expensive TVs, cell phones and not investing in homes for our families.
We are so much more!!!!!!!
To all our Black Men : It%26#039;s time to stand up. There are billions of Black Women who want to do nothing more than worship the ground that you walk on. We are so in love with your potential. We want to have your back, we want to love, support20and cherish every ounce of your being. But with that you have to show that you are willing to be the head of our households. You have to prove yourselves worthy of our submission. We need you to be hard working...Not a hustler. We need you to seek higher education, to seek spirituality. We need you to stand! And trust us; we will have your back. We know that it gets hard. We know you get weary. Trust and believe that there is nothing that a Black Man and a Black Woman can%26#039;t handle with GOD on their side.
To all our Black Women : It is also time for you to stand up. It is time for you to stop using our bodies as our primary form of communication. It is time to be that virtuous woman that Proverbs spoke of. You cannot sit by the wayside while our men are dying by the masses. You are the epitome of Black Love. It starts within you. You need to speak with conviction to let not only our Black Men know, but the world, that you are the Mothers of this world. You are so powerful. You are so beautiful. You need to love and embrace every blessing God has given us physically, emotionally and spiritually.
For all our Black Children : We need to love them. We need to teach them. We need to stand up for them. We need to protect them. We need to show them that there are no %26#039;get rich quick%26#039; schemes. We need to tell them that they WILL die trying if they submit to a life of crime and deceit. We need to teach our children that no one will love them the way we can. And be ing a basketball player, a rapper, or a drug dealer is not reality. It%26#039;s not realistic and only a small percentage of people ever make it as a rapper or professional athlete. We need to teach our children that we can be more than rappers and athletes. We can be the owners of these sports teams. We can be the CEO%26#039;|||Wow I did not know that about the saggin pants.
I agree that we need to rise above the %26quot;n!gga%26quot; lifestyle and show people ourselves that we are decent humans just as they are. Our perception around the world is ruined due to the media. We also need to grow thicker skin and lose the victim mentality.

To all our Black Women : It is also time for you to stand up. It is time for you to stop using our bodies as our primary form of communication. It is time to be that virtuous woman that Proverbs spoke of. You cannot sit by the wayside while our men are dying by the masses. You are the epitome of Black Love. It starts within you. You need to speak with conviction to let not only our Black Men know, but the world, that you are the Mothers of this world. You are so powerful. You are so beautiful. You need to love and embrace every blessing God has given us physically, emotionally and spiritually.
For all our Black Children : We need to love them. We need to teach them. We need to stand up for them. We need to protect them. We need to show them that there are no %26#039;get rich quick%26#039; schemes. We need to tell them that they WILL die trying if they submit to a life of crime and deceit. We need to teach our children that no one will love them the way we can. And be ing a basketball player, a rapper, or a drug dealer is not reality. It%26#039;s not realistic and only a small percentage of people ever make it as a rapper or professional athlete. We need to teach our children that we can be more than rappers and athletes. We can be the owners of these sports teams. We can be the CEO%26#039;|||Wow I did not know that about the saggin pants.

10 pts! How would you end/or change this poem, it's a rough draft?
Dust
Coated clocks tick
Time has a memory--
Still-brained
vegetable
Wanton fruity melon thoughts
I have been forgotten
deemed rotten
Gathering dust--encrusted
micro jewel
Segmented glorification
Of a larger whole called Family.
Cooling heels dug beneath the dirt
Resisting ghostly kissing games
Melancholy memories
and mayhem
Nostalgic specks--hardly a thing to grasp
Pearls of paneled faces
Cursing a ghostly choir
of melodic dances
Memories of mistaken chances
there was a time when鈥?br>
Papery petals drifted--languid
upon imagined gusts
And I was still
Without moisture
in my voice.
Collecting tilted thoughts, though filtered
I has gone utterly mad in the sun that summer
Jumping the tears
of happier times
Rose printed in my best pressed dress
and black patent leather Mary Janes
That hurt for I鈥檇 outgrown them, poor that we were.
Through those orange poppy summers
I sprinted honeydews
Glistening green orbs were hurdled by twos
Where there was an end
to my childhood--I didn鈥檛 dash...
I ran like Hell !
Off an Arkansas road of dry silt
Slick as a dream when rained
for the land was molded
By flood and by fortold fame
cinched in at the waist by the wide Bible belt
If your honeydew roots began there too
My kindred Amazon Queens--yes, You!
Huntresses we became
And just like me you may have
sent the ole 鈥?8 Chevy in a flutter
Like I did my grandma鈥檚 ticker
She knew my hillbilly heart wore high heels
As I drove the stick in the floor
My pigtails let loose
and became lovely ladybug wings
Having once begun
A tiny speck of transformation
stained my high cheeks flushed--Crimson
as the blood of my family tree
she hid a sad smile and turned away from me
She spun a tale that
I am still
A lot like she used to be
rather...like she still secretly IS
Habitually silent
Running against the grain
She said:
鈥業 had the inner workings of a beetle rolling dung鈥?br>
finger shaping clouds
like cotton candy
My Augustial dreaming
Such boring, neurotic sensibilities giving birth
Contractioned like eddies of heat from my heart
brushing the dust off my brain now turned glitter
With my own secret smile, my loved ones grew bitter
That summer of my sixteenth year...
One by one
They scattered like atoms
beneath my tongue
One by one
I fractured many a heart to find my special %26#039;One%26#039;, for fun
And found it here. in Oregon
at forty
With two granddaughters hand-in-hand
To tell the tale of tails that twitch
I see their pigtails unraveling
Imagine where their heart may end up traveling
as I palm the keys to my remodeled Jaguar
I visualize the fire on the horizon
Breathe deep, the tendrils of smoke from the heels
of my two creations
who plan to reshape the Nation
learned their ABC%26#039;s and their 123%26#039;s
jumped started my car to escape bigotry
Oh, this family tree is stunted--no more
my little angels broke into their %26#039;curse%26#039;
while the old folks follow in their hippie hearse
their haloes are tilted slightly off to the side
While some of us cried
The dust has settled
The path will be easy for them
For I cut a good trail
When my heels dug in
At their age, I cut the apron strings just for them
and gave them an easy out of the mayhem
One by one
I watch them scatter and run
One by one
I freed them to ???

What would cause a 2001 VW Passat 1.8T to act like it's choking or sputtering?
I%26#039;m looking to buy a 2001 VW Passat 1.8 Turbo. The guy has all service records of everything, oil changes, water pump and timing belt changes. It has roughly 150,000 miles on it, body and interior in great shape, he%26#039;s $5100. It%26#039;ll need new tires before this winter, the tread on the front two tires is completely worn. I test drove it today and it sometimes made this high pitched whirring or squeaking noise, kind of like how some cars make when you turn the car on with the air conditioner already on, sounds like a fan, but with VW%26#039;s and Jaguars Ive driven the fans are super quiet and it just sounds like a hair dryer, but quieter and more airy sounding. I can%26#039;t explain it too well. The biggest problem is that when you%26#039;re coming to a stop or when you%26#039;re idling it acts like its choking and it sputters, but it wont die. All gears shift very smoothly otherwise. He said there was something wrong with it, I believe he was referring to that choking problem (I think), but it was a $300 repair he said. I was going to offer him $4500-$4700 because of the repairs and needing new tires. Is it worth it? What could cause this problem.
Thanks for your time!|||It could be the the turbocharger, in which case its going to be a lot more than $300 repair, the high pitched sound may be unrelated to the sputtering, which could also be caused by bad ignition coils, as well as many other things.|||Sounds like a problem with the vacuum system if it happens at idle.It could be a check valve that is not working. Since the guy knows how much it cost to fix he must have an idea of what the problem is. Call and ask him then call a VW shop and ask them. Better yet pay them to inspect the car a $100 to do that could save you more in the long run.|||hi
stop reading all the answers it could be anything get it checked out. At 150,000 miles what do expect.|||clean throttle body and reset it|||I agree with Shaun. Get it checked out. If it only costs 300 to fix, then why hasn%26#039;t he had it done then? He will sell it quicker if it%26#039;s right.
None of the answers I have seen are valid, except for the vacuum leak.Turbo isn%26#039;t boosting at idle so it won%26#039;t make it run rough. It will drop it%26#039;s power considerably.
Good luck.

1989 Mercury Tracer?
My belts are tight, but they do show dry rot How do I change the Alternator %26amp; Power Steering belts on a 1989 Mercury Tracer. Nobody will touch it %26amp; to take it to a shop they want $250.00 just to change the belts. (my cost $15.00 for the belts). Also, the Alternator needs to be changed- any tips on how to do that?
Thanks.|||Your best bet would be to get the Haynes manual for your car... it would be tough to give you step by step directions on here. You can get the manual at most any auto parts store... $15, and now you%26#039;ll have it for any future projects.

The job can be dangerous if you don%26#039;t disconnect the battery properly and if it%26#039;s required to get under a jacked up vehicle at any time.

How do you figure the tip at a salon when many people serve you?
At the salon, the bill is usually about $110 for shampoo/deep conditioner/cut/style/dry.
They have so many people supply the services. One person shampoos, another puts in the deep conditioner, then the shampoo person comes back and rinses, then a third person does the cut/style, and sometimes a fourth person dries.
I%26#039;m confused about who to tip, and how much. I know I should be tipping about 15%, but how to divide it?? Do I have to go over the %% to give everybody a decent tip, or just give the whole thing to the stylist?
I%26#039;ve had this happen at the nail salon, too. The manicure/pedicure special is $30, but one person manicures, then a 2nd person puts on the polish, then a 3rd person does the pedicure, and a 4th puts on the polish, and sometimes a 5th person will do the topcoat!
How do I split $5 fairly between so many people? Sometimes I feel like I should be wearing one of those change belts that bus drivers wear.|||Give the tip to the last person who helps you, they%26#039;ll divide it up on their own.|||whoever is taking money at the checkout gets it...then they can work it out|||Just let them figure it out.|||I don%26#039;t think any tip is necessary, unless you are dining out.

Just leave one tip and let them decide how to ration it.

How do i change out my belt for my GE profile DJSR473 gas dryer? How do i take it apart to get to the motor?
We have had this gas dryer for a while now and when i started to dry a load, it smelt like burnt rubber so i turned the dryer off and called the repair shop over at sears and asked if they could just give me some suggestions on what it could be before coming out here and having to charge me a service fee. Does anybody have any experience on the GE gas dryers? When i try to turn the drum, it has some resistance and when i let it go, it goes back into the same spot of which i started turning it. im pretty sure its the belt but i dont want to start tearing it apart and break something and im stuck with a dryer i cant put together.

Dryer belt????????
where could i find a diagram or video on how 2 change a dryer belt i cant find it someone told me to take out the tumbler i cant seem to figure out how to get to the belt i have an old electric whirlpool dryer|||I think on most dryers of your type you must first lift the top. There are 2 spring catches you must release. They are accessed by placing a %26#039;thin%26#039; putty knife the crack between the top and front surfaces about 3 inches from each edge,,and push. If the lint filter is in the machine top, first remove the 2 screws below the filter.
After you Lift the top you will see the drum. Remove the door switch electrical wire.
The front panel of the dryer acts as the front bearing for the drum so as you remove the 2 screws holding the front panel in place,top L%26amp;R be ready to support the drum. Lift the front panel from the 2 alignment pins at the bottom. You now have access to install the belt kit.|||Have you looked inside a dryer. It is pretty simple. There is usually a bearing in the back, take out the 2 to 4 screws and slip the belt on, put it around the motor and put the screws back in.|||Have you tried taking off the back of the dryer? That is usually where they are on the older ones. In the back and low I think. If you still cant find it then try and find the motor, just follow the electrical wires for that. They belt is on a wheel on the motor. Good luck|||go to were stores were Whirlpool dryers are sold and ask for a copy of there instructions on dryers|||Try this site,explains it all.

How difficult is it to change the belt on a gas dryer?
I%26#039;m guessing that%26#039;s why the drum won%26#039;t spin.|||Figuring out how to get to the belt is usually more difficult than fixing the belt. I%26#039;ve done it a couple of times on our old Kenmore gas dryer.|||Some are easier than others. You have to take the front of the dryer off to get the new belt around the drum.. The fun part is weaving the belt around the pullys properly. One pullly is spring loaded to tension the belt and if the spring comes loose the belt will slip.It is kind of a wrestling match. Good luck|||Check your breakers first off, as it takes electricity to run thr dryer motor.
I have done it before, and it is not too hard. You usually have to start by poping the back off your machine (after you un-plug it). Without knowing the make and model, advice would be difficult.

How do I change a belt on a GE Dryer?
I%26#039;ve looked at the expanded diagrams of this model and can%26#039;t figure out how to get access to get the belt around the drum. Does anyone have any detailed instructions for getting the belt around the drum on this model?
Model GE DBXR453GV0WW
Thanks much!
Model|||Usually access is from the front panel, other panels may have to be removed before getting the front off. The important thing is to remember how everything is put back together. Get a dish and put all screws and bolts in it so none are lost. Another vital detail is to get the belt around the drum, There will be a raised ridge or depression in the drum that the belt mates to. After this is done, rotate the drum by hand to seat and sink the belt into place, if it falls off do it again. And unplug it first too.
