MINI USA YOU SUCK
At least three years ago MINI knew it's power steering pumps were failing in 2002-2005 models. I don't know about you, but I think steering failure is a major safety issue. Reports to the NHTSA were many, yet no recall was done. In late 2010 my power steering pump would overheat and fail as I'm driving along. In 2011 I finally was able to ( Read more... ) -

I considered a Law degree, and that it would augment my accounting degree, but decided that I didn't want to deal with that kind of debt and the long hours.

Pumpkin Massacre and More Food
Weekends seem to be for making food, and before I can cook, I have to have a clean kitchen. My kitchen usually is mostly clean, but after yesterday's pumpkin massacre and dinner almost all my stainless steel bowls, the huge stainless steel colander, my pot big enough for cooking mounds of spaghetti in, and just misc stuff was washed and drying in ( Read more... )
