    Have you or has a previous owner left anything wanted/unwanted behind

    When we moved into our last house, we discovered that the previous renters had left something behind - their cat. We adopted him, and he ended up being one of the sweetest cats we've ever had.

    getting new car. what do you have?

    We have a Ford Expedition and a Ford Fusion Hybrid. I prefer driving the Expedition, but I do drive the Fusion more because of the gas mileage. Except for backing up, I can see out of the Expedition so much better. The Fusion does have a back up camera, which is really nice. Otherwise I...

    Ugh! I need to rant about cars and they're problems!!

    I hope you're able to figure out what's wrong with your car. Hopefully it won't cost an arm and a leg to fix. I must be in the minority here. We used to have a 2000 Ford Taurus and never had any major problems with it. It had 204,000 miles on it when we got rid of it. Aside from normal...

    Back to school backpacks..

    The L.L. Bean backpacks are worth the money. We got my older DD one when she started preschool. She used it for two years there and has used it for kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades. It's still in great shape, but we may need to get her a larger one this year.

    6 Adults & 6 luggage in a car, anyone know this joke?

    Unless the Expedition is an EL model, the luggage may not all fit if the third row is being used. I think something like a Suburban would be your best bet.

    Directv or Dish Network?

    We were so relieved when our contract with Directv was up. We had nothing but problems with their service. Our bill was a different amount every month, even though we had the same service. Their customer service representatives hung up on my husband on multiple occasions when he called to ask...

    cheap summer vaca. on east coast

    I don't know if you're looking for a quiet beach town or more hustle and bustle, but Chincoteague Island, VA, is a nice vacation spot. There's no boardwalk; the beach is a national seashore, I think, but it's a pretty family-oriented town. We've gone there three different times and rented a...

    used car choices-malibu/taurus/intrigue?

    I have a 2000 Taurus wagon with 161,000 miles on it, and I love it. It's never had anything major wrong with it, and it's still going strong. On the other hand, my husband has had two Oldsmobiles, and he had nothing but problems with both of them. I would buy another Ford in a heartbeat, but...
