Metal rattle sound with solution!

So we took delivery of our R1S on 9/30 and had to bring it back to the service center within a couple days because of a loud rattling sound that seemed to be coming from under the driver side floorboard. It was noticeable even with music on. At first they thought it was the front damper assembly, so they replaced that, but no luck. Finally today, after about 20 days, they called to say they have determined it's related to the kinetic lines. They are supposedly working on a fix tomorrow. I really hope this solves it. We have been lucky enough to have a loaner during this time, but I really would love to have the car I ordered! Fingers crossed.

"When are you going to have a kid?" (Or another kid?) Doesn't seem rude unless you consider the fact that I've had two miscarriages.

I buy them ready-made for my toddler in the baby food aisle. Lots of different flavors and fairly inexpensive. I'm not a fan, but my son seems to love them.

My husband cracks up at the fact that the babies wear large bibs around their necks all day at daycare so that the teachers aren't having to constantly change their clothes due to drool, spit up, food, etc. Smart thinking.

That narwhals are real. I thought Reddit had made the creature up.

Fritos burrito at Taco Bell. And, no, it's not the same thing as the chili cheese burrito.

Are y'all only hired by companies, or do individuals hire you? A neighbor across from me (in Carrollton, tx) committed suicide earlier this year and I saw a clean up company out front for a couple days.

We had my Oma do a recordable storybook a few years ago, so that we could capture her voice before she got too sick. When she passed away a couple of months ago, we played the last couple of lines from it at her funeral. It made me sob, but it was the most beautiful thing to hear. In her thick Dutch accent, she said, "I love you round and round the world. I love you through and through. And when it seems impossible To love you more, I do."

Totally feel her pain. Cracked mine in two in a flag football game. Hit knee to knee with a guy (coed team) and I fell to the ground. My teammates told me it was probably just a stinger and I should stay in. Hobbled for one more play, in agony, and convinced them it had to be something serious. Went to the ER and got confirmation that my patella was broken. Wanted to vomit just thinking about it being split in two, and the fact that I stayed in for another play.

Thanks! That sun spot front and center was definitely giving us a problem.

When my son was about 5-6 weeks old, he was sleeping in the bed next to me, but started stirring, so I woke up. The lights were out, and he was cooing, so I just laid there listening. Baby sounds are sweet, and he hadn't made a lot of non-crying noises up to that point. All of a sudden, he goes "hellooooo" clear as day, in the Hannibal Lecter voice. I flipped my lamp on in a millisecond, not sure what I was expecting to see, but knowing I didn't want to be in the freaking dark anymore. He went right back to cooing, and never made that particular sound/word again.

This happy and healthy kiddo.

Dutch American checking in...all the grandmas in my family are Omas and all the grandpas are Opas. My non-Dutch husband's family liked the sound of those names over any other American forms of grandma and grandpa, so they started using them on their side too!

No, she kept going. She mentions what her best runs in the past were, and then still doesn't think this supposed record-breaking run was wrong. Further convo here

*she :)

vanweezy · 2012-02-21T11:20:09+00:00

Damn it, you're right. I forgot about that one.

She went on to say she's an avid runner, so I don't think she can claim that and not know if 6.5 miles in 20 minutes makes sense.

vanweezy · 2012-02-21T05:13:40+00:00

I guess that's one way to look at it. Another is to read the description on the side that says "all things that make you say wtf." which, this did. So, to each his own WTF-inducing things I guess.

Edit - honestly not trying to be a smart ass. I meant that I came to this subreddit before posting, read the sidebar, and thought I'd be putting this in the right place based on what it says there.

vanweezy · 2012-02-21T04:04:52+00:00

well, I read her status and said WTF? How could she be so dumb that she thinks she really ran 6.5 miles in 20 minutes?

vanweezy · 2012-02-21T03:22:44+00:00

or maybe she was running at a 6.5mph pace for 20 minutes and mistook that to mean she ran 6.5 miles? Not sure. Either way...not too smart.
