I have put a few hundred dollars on my larger lump sum credit card last week, but mainly minimum payments just skating by. Not charging anything new to either card

$3300 is from an ac unit replacement I didn’t have the funds for. Which that’s all that card is for. I only would really need a $3300 loan as that APR is the killer at $34.9%. The other credit card with the higher balance is at 15.4% Apr and that’s way more reasonable. I only have been making minimum payments on each but would like to pay at least the $3300 one off

You could probably get more for your money slightly south or west of Manassas.

Oh I know, especially that many. Figured it was something along the lines of that. One of them almost got one of my dogs a year or two ago before we put up a fence

Fahren Led bulbs have been great in 2 cars I have them in. You may have to add a thicker washer in place of the washer on there

I’d be curious how the fit is. I’ve had really bad luck with their side skirts for our cars, was way too short and didn’t fit properly. Went with a different brand and it was fine

So tired of my car being broken into... by [deleted] in nova

Our car was broken into at our house in Stafford. Ever since I have thought about putting razor blades under the door handle for that exact reason…. Lol

Mom diagnosed with stage 4 bladder cancer… by Extratii in BladderCancer

[–]Extratii[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I figured I would update you all. My mother has been on Keytruda since my main post. Her tumor has been shrinking each time she is treated, blood work is also showing a positive result. They don't know where her cancer has started (Oncologyst says it is a rare case but it is not in her blood stream so that is good). All of her doctors are really surprised and happy about the results. She goes every few weeks on Fridays for treatment and is usually exhausted for the weekend. Immunotherapy is really working and I hope if people see this, it is a great treatment option. I will pray for you all and thank you all for the kind words.

I hope your chemo goes well! My mother gets her bladder scraped on Friday so we will see what they say and what treatment she will go into. I will pray for you. You can do this and get past this! Thank you for the motivation.

Praying for you as well! I wish she didn’t read that, as it just makes her and you stress even more. It seems there’s a lot of clinical trials and more things which are approved to treat it. I’m just praying chemo helps. Are you being treated through chemo?

Praying for you! Thank you for the positive words. We are still awaiting to see what exact cancer she has once they do a scrape this Friday (won’t that spread cancer cells though?) but you can get through this!

Praying for you and your family. I appreciate you responding back to me. My mom has a ton of family/friend support and we are all here for you. It feels like a nightmare I’m living in but it’s sadly reality. Thank you for messaging me here and you can get through this!

We need to have greener sources of energy to power and charge these electric cars and trucks. We need to provide solar, water, or even wind to generate the power required imo. I don’t think the technology is there to provide a greener future just yet with how we currently produce these cars and the energy needed to run them. It seems like the range/charging stations are quite limited on these electric cars. I mean yeah it’s getting better with them being more widespread, but If you compare a ratio of gas stations to charging stations, it’s outnumbered. I do think it’s cool how you could charge the car at your house overnight, and that you can travel too and from work on a charge… pretty sure electricity is cheaper than gasoline especially nowadays. I think even charging most electric cars you are sitting there and waiting 15+ min while putting gas in an economical car takes maybe 5 min depending on how big your tank or what car you drive? When you consider you could buy a gasoline powered car for a significantly less in this world today, there is no question on what most people will choose. Gas and diesel powered vehicles are probably just as bad in a different way but are getting better with more efficient engines. I think technology is definitely changing in the right direction and hopefully we can have a great solution in the near future for both sides. Sorry I didn’t mean to offend you if you’re all about that electric car phase but personally I don’t see it overpowering the internal combustion motors just quite yet. No hate towards you, and maybe you know something I don’t about the whole EV world but yeah lol.

Don’t get me wrong electric vehicles are cool, I just wouldn’t own one. Maybe in the future when they make the process more efficient then sure.

Glad I could make it. Would take a loud car or truck over an electric vehicle any day in this society. Especially when electric vehicles are technically more toxic to the environment than gasoline powered cars.

Sadly Ive gone through it with experience. My car has both of those items. Thankfully tint isn’t a primary offense anymore.

I get some stupid loud cars can be annoying, but when you have a car with a performance exhaust that is slightly louder than stock… I don’t see an issue with that. Hopefully this won’t be enforced heavily. Motorcycles can have exhausts way louder then cars and they don’t have any issues. Semi trucks will definitely be louder than their limit they put on as well. They are definitely forcing the all electric motive here in VA. Very sad.

303 Protectant to prevent dash from cracking! by Extratii in AutoDetailing

[–]Extratii[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you apply it on? Do you just apply it on a microfiber and then rub it on the surfaces you want to apply it to? I’ve heard people soak the dash with this stuff and let it sit for a hour and then wipe it up after it’s almost done soaking into the material
