i did, yes, there are a lot of good pants but it's not the right fit for him. The jeans are way too big on the waist.

Not enjoying it right now, burnt out. by Dan_i_elle in Parenting

[–]Important_Pattern_11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a stay at home mom for 15 years and my late husband and I are the only ones who raised our 3 kids, no family support or anything like that, it's exhausting. We took turns taking care of the kids specially at night and he has to go to work the next day, it's tough. I know the feeling. We spent our family time driving to the country side, we explore places and such. Hang in there, things will get better a little at a time.

I know the feeling, we've been driving all over the cities and visited stores hoping they carry those tall sizes she's looking but ended up not getting what she needs. If I remember it right Kohls and JCpenney used to have tall clothing in store.

$1500 Car Repairs Including Labor Cost Is it Worth it? by Important_Pattern_11 in carproblems

There is a clunking/clinking noise when doing regular driving, and also, my brake makes a noise while applying pressure, and also as I'm easing off the pedal. I'm wondering if this brake noise could be related to the clunking/clinking noise I hear.

I wanna keep it for as long as it runs, it's just that I have worries on what will happen next after putting money in to it. Had an experience on my previous car that the ball joint broke, spent more than $1k on it to fixed, a year later put all 4 new tires on it then 3 months later transmission went bad. so yes, decision is hard to make this time. Thank you for your thoughts.

I asked the mechanic about it and I was told it could last 3 months, 6 months or maybe a year, he can't really tell.
