My fiance and I are moving back to New Jersey. And we need to rent a moving truck. But we have a 3 month old son that still sits in an infant car seat. My mother told me it’s illegal for a baby to be in the front seat. But I’ve heard from one other person that it’s okay, as long as there isn’t a back seat available. And a moving van isn’t big enough for all of our stuff.
I’m not positive but I think it’s illegal to install an infant car seat in the front seat. So if the vehicle doesn’t have a back seat, is it illegal to use it? If it makes a difference I live in Minnesota, the truck is a 98 Silverado, no airbags that I know of. Anyone know?
am dating a guy who has said some things that really bug me.
This is a new person and he seems like a very good guy. Everybody who knows him says he’s great. He’s smart, charming , funny ect.
He has also been good to me so far, taken me out on dates, treated me with respect, ect.
But sometimes, he will accidently say something that hurts my feelings. It’s very sublte and little comments but they’re starting to add up and it’s bugging me. We’ve dated about a month and a half now and he calls me his "gf". I need advice! What does this stuff mean?
I’ll use New Year’s Eve as my example:
-I just got my hair highlighted a different color. I’m not a huge fan of it but oh well. He noticed a difference said it looks good and I told him "well I’m glad you like it, my entire family hates it" (true story). We were in a group of people and he goes: "well that’s probably because they don’t want you to look like a stripper"
? (implying that’s what my hair makes me look like)
He knows that upset me. He briefly apologized but continued to hang out with his friends ect not paying much attention to me after that. I would’ve thought if he said that and realized he made a mistake he’d start kissing A** or something but he didn’t.
-In fact, he dind’t pay THAT much attention to me the entire night. I literally chose to hang out with him that night over all my friends who were travelling to another place. He knew this too. But he definitely didn’t reallly go out of his way to make me feel that comfortable or anything.
-We were in a car on the drive home in the very backseat. He told me about the girl sitting in the front seat:
"See that girl up there. She is awesome. She’s like one of my favorite people. We both agreed that if we didn’t meet anybody or date somebody that we would get married at age 35."
-When we were drunk and got home I said "well if I look like a stripper and that girl’s so awesome then why don’t you just go date her instead."
his response: "Have some self confidence"
(granted when I told him he said that the next morning he felt bad)
-The next morning: my best friend stayed at his house too. His heater was broken and he offered my friend his robe, ect to stay warm. He offered clothes/warm things to me as an afterthought. He seemed a lot more concerned about her being cold than me.
-When walking out to my car he offered my best friend his arm to help her down the stairs and not me. Granted I was walking a little ahead of them but it made me mad.
He has a tendency to do this with my friends, he caters to their needs very much so but sometimes treats me like second choice or puts me on the backburner or something.This seems weird to me seeing as how it’s early on the relationship. He also sometimes throws out little putdowns (like the stripper comment) in front of my friends toward me. It’s almost like he’s trying so hard to impress them he puts me down in the process.
interpretations?
i’m in the middle of a major project~ replacing the heater core in my 1988 mercury sable. YIKES, it’s waaayy more complicated than it should be. ok, i removed the front seat & even managed to remove the entire instrument panel ( i would call it the dashboard). i have the new core. i have the upper evaporator fitting (from accumulator) removed, which took a lot of tugging…now i can’t seem to get the lower evaporator fitting apart. of course, it’s in an area where i can’t grab it very well, but i’ve been using wood blocks and other longer pieces to get leverage and pry against the bend , but just can’t get it apart. i have soaked it several times with liquid wrench. the coupling disconnector is engaging the spring. i really need to finish this so i can get the car back together before christmas day~! HELP~
i have a 98 ford taurus..it has some rust on the rear wheel well/fender..and the interior has a cigarette burn on the driver seat, and a light bulb burn on the carpet in the front seat, in the middle..happened when the guy was changing a heater core…and the passenger seat has a rip. were the seam is sewed. but that can be sewed back…but other than that, it has a brand new water pump, head gaskets, heater core, thermostat, fan switch, water pump pulley, and the entire system has been flushed, and had dye ran through it to check for leaks…has only 115,000 miles on it. and paint looks good. other than the rust..new tires also
yeah, i’m not planning on asking for a rediculous amount.. it runs great..good heat and a/c.. nothings wrong with it now that i put all the money in it of course.. lol
Hi guys!
How is this part of a story I wrote (be honest)

Ittoqqortoormiit, Greenland, Kingdom of Denmark
Michael Anderson
Michael Anderson sat in dead silence in the back of the old truck, gazing out at the array of colorful houses littered over the rocky ground. In the distance lay the wide expanse of the Arctic Ocean and rolling mountain-like hillsides. Over the water he could see a glorious sunset shedding its light over the sparkling waters.
He hated the sight. He blinked through his oval glasses with near boredom.
From the front seat, the driver looked back at him with a grin.
“Er den hvad jer antaget, bekendt?” He asked, in Danish.
Michael sighed in irritation at the broken silence. “Ja , beklageligvis.”
Insulted, the driver turned back to the wheel. Michael in turn returned to gazing out of the window as the car drove to a dock spreading out over the shoreline. Three cars had already arrived.
The truck slowed to a stop next to them, and Anderson immediately stepped out into the cold. He saw that his driver was collecting his bags for him, and he quickly ran over to him.
“Jeg får mine egne ting, mange tak,” he said through gritted teeth. The man looked annoyed but gave him the bags anyway.
Michael walked down the shoreline to a fellow in a jacket and jeans. He was a Danish man with a dark mustache and an excited expression.
Wondering how the man could stand the cold in clothes like those, Michael reluctantly reached his hand forward to shake, and the man took it immediately
The man looked him up and down. “So, you’re Michael Anderson, I presume?”
“Yeah. What’s yours?”
The man smiled. “I assume you mean my name. I’m Gabriel Flemming. I’ll be your guide during your trip.” He had a strong Danish accent.
He gestured toward the rest of the group, which consisted of a tall, tan-haired man in a thick coat who was shivering uncontrollably, a black-haired European lady with a jacket who seemed completely at home, and a brown-haired Italian who, like the other man, was shivering.
“These are the other winners you will be spending time with for the next week. You’ll want to get to know them well, how do you say it? ASAP, as you’ll be working together and need to gain trust amongst yourselves.”
Though Michael wanted nothing of the sort, and doubted he ever would, he begrudgingly told them his name.
The tall man stepped forward, holding out a thickly gloved hand that was shaking in the cold.
“G’day, Mike. I’m Ethan. Ethan Brett. Great to meet ya, mate.” Michael was surprised to hear Ethan’s confident Australian voice. It didn’t match his current look at all.
The woman raised her hand in greeting. “Morning, Michael. I’m Emily Larson.” She had a strong British accent.
The Italian man said nothing.
After waiting awkwardly for a moment, Gabriel turned toward the rest of the group. “And this,” he said with obvious annoyance, “is Antonio Barrochi.”
He then turned towards the wide expanse of ocean before them, all signs of irritation gone, and stretched his arms dramatically. “Just wait until you see what we have planned for you! The sights you will see will blow-”
He was interrupted when another car drove up. The car door opened and a very fat man practically rolled out of it. He trudged down the road towards them in only a T-shirt and shorts, munching a bag of potato chips. Behind him, his driver struggled to carry the man’s massive duffel bag, and Michael wondered what could possibly be inside. Food, probably.
The man reached out a pudgy, potato chip-covered hand and shook that of the surprised Gabriel.
“Hey, guys!” he said to the group through a full mouth. “I’m Carl. Sorry I’m late. Bad luck, y’know. So where are we off to? Himalayas?” (No one bothered pointing out that those were in Asia.)
Antonio muttered something.
Gabriel, on the other hand, seemed positively overjoyed to finally meet another person as happy (and stupid, thought Michael) as he was. He led everyone to a large motorboat at the dock with De Verdrinkende Dame painted on the side with black paint.
“’The Drowning Lady’?” Emily exclaimed incredulously. “What kind of name for a boat is that?”
Gabriel laughed. “Hey, I didn’t name it.” He jumped up on the deck of the boat, gesturing for them to follow. Everyone did, Michael last. He had to help Carl onto the boat. Carl grinned when this nigh-impossible feat was complete.
“Thanks, man! Can I call you Mike?” he asked hopefully.
“No,” muttered Michael as their bags were loaded on deck. “And get some thicker clothes on, or you’ll freeze.”
“No thanks, Mike. I’m fine.”
Mike swore under his breath with exasperation.
Looking up, he saw that Gabriel had gone to the wheel, grasping it with a firm hand.
“Here we go everyone!” he shouted dramatically. An assistant revved the engine and the De Verdrinkende Dame began to move over
(continuing from end)
the clear, shining waves into the unknown expanse of the Arctic Ocean.
“Wait! We forgot my bag!” Carl shouted ten minutes in.
Michael sighed. It’s gonna be a long week.
i just started having this problem i had a friend using the cell phone facing it towards the front seat dialing in numbers then my heater stopped an shut down after i shut it off then it started again i already disconnected the plus cable just in case it was the computer but it still does it off and on anyone know whats going on no money to fix a big problem
need it for the front seat (split design 60/40 i believe is what it is called)
(preferably black shaggy type)
anyone who knows of places where i can buy this type of covers,i’d greatly appreciate it!!
Okay……so it’s almost Christmas and we’ll be having lots of family get togethers. We have the Auntie who is as wide as she is tall. She’s just the sweetest person you could ever meet. She has damaged several pieces of furniture with her weight BUT…the worst part is her Hoo~Haa smells soooo awful, that it leaves it’s lasting stench wherever it’s been such as cushions,beds, car seats etc….
Can’t she smell herself? I mean seriously….it’s so BAD, nasty, gaggingly gross that NO ONE wants to hug or sit by her. The worst is having her sit in the front seat of the car with you when the heaters on uuhhggggggggggggg
PLEASE HELP !!!
No, she’s not "slow" or "mental". She works a full-time job and lives on her own. Another Auntie thinks she’s too afaid to go to the Doctor as she won’t "fit" on the exam table. And, as far as buying her "smelly stuff" for gifts, NO !!!!! She tries to "hide" the smell (we think) with her Jean Nate’ and White Diamonds….it’s BAD !!
What do you guys think of this. a 2004 525 i 4d sedan BMW
