I don't know if it's pressure related or what, but the entire left side of my upper jaw/teeth are soooo sore. Came quite suddenly as well. Too weird.

Zoom, I'm so sorry :( I broke up with my long term bf about 6 months ago, for what sounds like similar reasons. I can't believe he's expecting you to cover his rent. I hope you get the apartment figured out in a way that works for you. Much love <3

I told him that the apartment would let us out of the lease for two months rent, so he can pay one month and I'll pay the other and we'll call it done. He's worried about finding a place quickly and I told him to get to work on it, because I'm taking my name off the lease the 1st of Jan and he can figure sh*t out from there. Now he's asking me to "not be cold-blooded about all this." :rolleyes:

<1000 miles since the water pump was replaced. Low coolant level.

At least the overflow bottle is dropping now, rather than running the engine "dry" with the stick showing full. And it has been like 9 months, but still not right.

2 places have declared the head properly sealed. Fans check out. Radiator is <3 years old. Runs fine.

Go up a hill, watch the temp climb. Drops back down the hill (more slowly of course!). Good on the interstate, seems tempted to melt down in traffic.
I hate to say this.... But this sounds like a cracked engine block. Just had a similar situation with our van. Would love to read on and be wrong. Best of luck.

Cold blooded? Seriously? I'm glad to hear you telling him to just deal with it and find a place. When I was going through my divorce, I let my ex live with me for three months (he asked for the divorce) and then I gave him $400 a month after that for almost a year because he didn't have a job. It was killing me financially, and in the end I realized that it's not MY problem that he hadn't worked in 4 years. Stay strong and don't let him manipulate you. *hugs*

**** him ... I would just do my half and not take his calls or talk to him anymore and he if tries to contact you? ****ing ignore him.

I am sorry you are going through this ... ESP around Christmas :(, maybe moving I. With family would be the best thing right now ... At least you could have their support, I can only imagine how hard this is for you but stay tough and stick to their guns

Telltale sign of a sinus infection. Easily fixed with antibiotics if that's what it is!
Ugh, they NEVER give me abx for my sinus infection. "It's viral, too bad. Come back when it's turned into bronchitis."


My throat is super duper killing me tonight. I want to go to the doctor, it's been two weeks, but I'm pretty sure I'll go to the doctor, give them my money, and they'll go "Meh viral. Sorry. Bye." I don't really have money to set on fire...

Well, its a Dodge 4.7 which has overheated before when a hose blew up on the highway. Thinking the heads are more likely, but oil looks fine, no excessive smoke from the tailpipe.

Thing is hell to burp though, also possible that it spit coolant out the overflow. I'll have to keep an eye on both the overflow and the level.

I will selflessly volunteer to punch him in the balls the next time I see him. Please note: I am not asking for your permission.

My vent? Went in to work at 9. Oops, supposed to be 1PM. Running on 3 hrs of sleep. My friend did stop by to cheer me up, which was nice.

There was a school shooting not 5 miles away from the dealership. So far the shooter themselves is the only (self-inflicted) casualty. I feel so bad for everyone.

And it also scared away all the customers.

I'm trying to find a full-time job now that I have TWO freaking degrees. Every posting I find, my mom's all "But then you have to move, and you can't afford that."

WTF? What's wrong with applying? Maybe they'll offer help with relocation. Maybe something else will work out. Maybe I'll just be homeless for 2 weeks until I get my first check. One of them is only an hour away, I can freaking commute until I get money and find a place to live. I NEED A ****ING FULL-TIME JOB. It's kind of sad that $12.48/hr at full time plus benefits seems like A LOT of money. I make around $350 every 2 weeks at the moment. I've never in my life made more than $500-$600 every 2 weeks (and somehow I managed to live on my own then...really have NO idea how that was working...).

Plus, moving is kind of the whole point...I DO NOT want to live in this house with my parents forever. I need OUT. I'm even willing to move ANYWHERE at the moment, it doesn't have to be PNW, it just has to be SOMEWHERE.

Zoom, I worked in leasing for years and I'll tell you what I would do.

Sign yourself off the lease. **** the break lease fee, that's not your responsibility if he wanted to keep the apartment. And regardless of whether he qualifies or not to keep the apt on his own is not your problem. Someone can be signed off a lease regardless of the other person's ability to qualify on their own.

**** him.
