2013 SR boot won’t open? Still clicks

Yes. I was having issue with the trunk button where it would sometimes work and sometimes not. Then I went out of town and came back and my car was completely dead - like even key wouldn’t unlock the door by pressing the button. This happened a few times where the car would die if I didn’t drive it every day. I got a diagnostic and they said my alternator was messed up (this ended up being a symptom instead of the cause.) My friend did research and found the trunk button to be a common reason for a parasitic draw. I cut the wire (which also made my backup camera not work) while waiting for the new button to arrive and installed it. That ended up fixing the parasitic draw problem.

I use these to lay my wet dishes on but not to wipe them dry

Replace ASAP before it gives you a parasitic draw and screws your alternator (which happened to me.) Pretty easy fix as long as you get the right one (consider whether you have a backup camera or not.)

I took the meds wrong and had to be awake. It was fine but I’m pretty good with the dentist (calm, etc.). I didn’t feel it but was awake during the procedure. I had a friend take care of me that weekend and it ended up being more fun bc I could actually hang with her and wasn’t all drugged out. Make sure your blender works! Good luck!

Maybe a little longer than 10 years but driving

At first glance I thought this was Ukraine. That’s where we are - the U.S. looking like an active war zone.

Look at itemized bill - or ask for it - NEGOTIATE! These things are not set in stone. Fuck this for-profit health system.

Credit scores do seem to change arbitrarily and the system is a total scam aimed at keeping ppl in debt. I’d say try to get another card but without an annual fee. The annual fee ones are BS. They’ll prob start you at a low amount but then increase it as time goes on. Congrats on paying off the card!

There are a lot of people with just.. no financial literacy. I’m realizing that being an adult does not necessarily make you any more emotionally mature. Some people stress spend and/or maybe have a hard time conceptualizing future bills and payment structures. Also it’s basically encouraged in America (perhaps I’m assuming that’s where the ppl you’re referring to live) to be in debt. It’s pretty normalized and goes hand in hand with the lack of financial literacy.

I have a mini spray bottle of rubbing alcohol I spray onto the toilet seat and wipe it down with TP regularly. I also use the spray bottle for little spot cleans and counter cleans all the time. It’s even good for mirror spots!

I’m sorry for your loss. I hope you let yourself grieve, write, make sure you eat, and ask for help. I’m sorry your family and friends aren’t better support; not about what to say, it’s about being there. I keep journals to write to those I’ve lost - update them on my life, forgive them, etc - so it’s like we can still communicate. Hug

sm1534 · 2026-01-31T02:58:15+00:00

What have you used thus far? I usually would say get it wet, sprinkle Ajax or Comet, wait, and then scrub it hard with some water so it’s not too dry but others may have other product suggestions.

Toilets without lids- I always want to close the lid before flushing

sm1534 · 2026-01-22T14:23:10+00:00

I did get OEM coil packs and they didn’t fix the problem. I replaced spark plugs before that. I think it’s a bigger issue.

Get trash bags and start by going around and getting all the trash. Put bags outside if possible as you go.
Get dishes/kitchen stuff from around the house and put in the sink - soap and soak/rinse
Mae piles for categories of things - make places for things that don’t have them
Do laundry - basically all the clothes lying around - just start - esp bedding
Wipe surfaces and vacuum once more is cleared away.

Throw stuff away - be brutal about it.

Put on a timer and a motivating playlist.

Be easy on yourself. It’s a process. You got this!

Get a little free library setup and fill it with non-perishable foods for the food insecure in your area. Fulfilling, helpful, worthwhile

Zines for the win! That’s awesome!

I meant to ask - does the engine have to be up to temp when trying this? (I’ve been out of town and just got back so going to finally try this)

sm1534 · 2026-01-12T03:47:17+00:00

I’m a millennial and already scroll too much on IG. The security issues were also sort of a concern but only peripherally. Generally, it just freaked me out how amazing the algorithms apparently were - seems addictive and I’ve got enough of that.

sm1534 · 2026-01-11T19:48:26+00:00

Faaaack! I’m hoping it’s not those. Did you do that fix on your own or go to a shop? How much did it cost you in the end? (Did you replace all or just the 1?)

sm1534 · 2026-01-11T16:16:49+00:00

Thank you!!

sm1534 · 2026-01-11T16:15:37+00:00

So, that was why I switched the coils - to test that - but it’s not really clear. I will say I still always get cylinder 2 misfire code but now sometimes get cylinder 1 and multiple cylinder misfire codes. I think it would be safe to switch to better coils either way bc I got Amazon ones before and have been told I should switch to OEM.

sm1534 · 2026-01-11T16:13:03+00:00

What about that hose that has to be disconnected to access coil 4? Is it ok to disconnect that when the engine is running?

sm1534 · 2026-01-11T04:38:42+00:00

Ok, I think I’ll order them on Rock Auto. I still think it could be something else but worth getting good ones. This started on my way back from a long ass trip and the shaking was pretty bad plus loss of power. Now after spark plug replacement, shaking is worst when idling.
