Any VW owners know price of a radiator & fan? (sm)
Posted By: Sammy on 2007-06-20
In Reply to:
My car broke down this afternoon! I heard a loud noise like I had run over something, pulled over and saw all the coolant and water pouring from my radiator. The fan broke and a blade went into the radiator. I pulled inrto the nearest repair shop (lucky for me one was really close) and they gave me an estimate of $1200!!!! My husband had it towed to a mechanic he uses, but I am curious since my car is a VW how much should it cost to get this fixed??

Cat owners, I need some ideas....sm
My daughter has 4 cats that live downstairs with her. One of the cats has become sensitive to the food they're all eating and we need to feed her different food from the rest. Any ideas how to keep her out of the other cats foods? This cat can't be brought upstairs because my cat that is upstairs dislikes her strongly and beats her up whenever she has tried coming upstairs. Thanks for any suggestions you may have!
No lease - have been here thru 2 owners, - sm
and am the only person left in the building who is still on month-to-month. Also, I never did sign any agreements with current management company - I still have my old lease from the original owners from back in 1990!
This site is now being run by new owners
The old owner of this site started her own board. There was a lot of posts about this before the list changed hands. It was also down for a few days.
Anyone else VW new beetle owners?
My husband just traded in my Miata (a birthday gift 2 years ago) for a VW Beetle for me. I loved the Miata, but I couldn't take my daughter in it since she's still in a booster and it only seats 2. What fun is that? I had been wanting a beetle since the new ones had come out and I can't believe he actually got me one! I love it. It's so fun to drive. Anyone else own one and how do you like it so far?
The owners who are not responsible are ...sm
the problem. I would be mad too if I went out and was approached by a pit bull who growled at me, and I own a pitbull. He should be kept in his owners yard or home. No dog, pit or otherwise, should be allowed to roam around the neighborhood.
I fully understand you being furious. I would be too.
Any bunny rabbit pet owners out there? sm
Our bunny has a malocclused jaw and therefore she has a front tooth that continues to grow, having to be trimmed about once a month. The vet says there's really nothing we can do to prevent this other than continue to encourage the rabbit to eat foods that would have her using her front tooth. Have you encountered this and if so, did you find something that helped slow down the growth? Thank you!
DH and I are first time cat owners as of Christmas!
DH and I are first time cat owners as of Christmas! We love our Sophie, she is a great cat. Since we are new to this, I'm looking for some advise.
We are leaving on vacation on Feb 23rd for Ireland and I'm just wanting to make sure I have everything in place for Sophie. Please let me know if I'm missing anything.
MIL will visit every other day (maybe everyday!) for litter box cleanings and playtime. I'm going to leave out 2 litter boxes.
I'll leave out lots of food and water, MIL will refill.
Leave the TV or radio on for some noise.
She is around 2 years old so she is still quite playfull. She has lots of toys laying around.
So am I missing anything? I just don't want her to freak out, but I think she will be ok with the MIL visits.
Thanks!
That is true but the owners who hire them
should be held accountable. The American roofing/contruction co owners that do not want to pay their share of tax or pay a descent wage to a legal worker should be held accountable. The immigrants working illegal are just trying to make a living. (Yes it's stealing and wrong and I do not approve. Especially when they bring their whole families here.) The owners of these company are the real cheats though. They buy big vans and pick them up and drop them off. It's horrible wages are so low for hourly workers now. :(
once again OWNERS, if only we could ask the cats, I think the response would be different, NM

For the pet owners: Is pet insurance worth getting?
I know there are a lot of pet owners on the Gab board so I thought I would ask. I am wondering if pet insurance is worth getting? I have one 7-year-old kitty, a 2-year-old Pomeranian, and a 4-year-old chihuahua mix. Princess, my pom, broke her foot a couple of months ago by jumping about two feet to the concrete from my lap. I usually don't take her outside, and I think she just landed wrong. It cost me about $700 get her to the vet and have a splint put on and luckily it healed and she didn't need pins. I am really thinking about it because I know pets can get pretty expensive when you have to keep taking them to the vet. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me.
They are very sweet dogs... it's all about the owners
That's what I think... ANY dog can become aggressive which is what I wish people would understand. Before we got our two current dogs, my boyfriend and I completely fell in love with a pitbull at the humane society. 3 days until I got my house, someone snatched her first. She was the most adoring, sweet dog I have ever encountered (besides the girl that I own now). But then one day we encountered a pitbull at the dog park, who had kind of "rough looking" owners, and my male dog went up to sniff the pit and kinda get playful, and i heard the guy snicker under his breath "you dont want to do that dog". like, telling my dog he doesn't want to mess with his. So I am a firm believer that it is ownership. You get the pit as a puppy and love it and cherish it and it and socialize it... or you leave it, hurt it, yell at it... it's gonna become what it knows...
To pit bull owners and defenders:
Two weeks ago in my city, an elderly demented man was found dead at home by his daughter's boyfriend when he returned home from work. Autopsy confirmed that his death was caused by his daughter's and her boyfriend's 3 pit bulls. I'm sure this lady loved her dear father and believed the dogs were companions to him as he was home alone during the day.
I just can't understand the loyalty to this breed. Why take chances when the outcome can be deadly? This woman will be blaming herself for the rest of her life.
All dogs bite, but pit bulls don't stop until they have killed.
Small dog owners Please Read my warning
Yesterday, a lady was driving down our hill with her little doxie in the front seat of the van. I don't think the dog was even a year old yet. Anyway, she sideswiped a telephone pole which put her out of control, her airbags went off, and she couldn't see with all that white powder flying around, and she wound up in a drainage ditch. When the airbags went off, they struck her dog and killed him. Although our neighbor is a nurse and tried CPR, the poor thing had broken ribs which probably punctured his lungs.
So, what I'm saying is if you're going to take your dog for rides, please put them in the back seat, preferably with doggie seat belts, not the front seat. I could barely sleep last night over this. I feel so bad for the poor dog. It didn't have to happen. The lady was so upset over it and feeling so guilty, it took us over 2 hours to get her calmed down.
Dog owners - recognizing partial seizures
After losing Misha to a brain tumor, I decided to post this to help others with dogs (sorry cat lovers - I did not research cats). Seizures beginning when a dog is young are almost always due to epilepsy, and it is very treatable. Unfortunately, seizures that begin when a dog is 5 or older is almost always either a brain tumor or some sort of serious infection in the brain. Either way, recognizing it early will help you have the confidence to insist on early treatment for the comfort and health of your pet.
Everybody knows the signs of a tonic-clonic seizure, but subtler seizures can confuse even vets. Know the signs of even focal/partial seizures:

Business owners are usually private citizens
and as such have right of refusal - I sure did when we had our own business. If you see a potential problem you want to get it back out that door pronto. Maybe the owner knew his clientele would not stand for OJ sitting in the restaurant and being served, etc., and believe that is his choice, his call. If he has other patrons of different races, religions, etc., can't see he would be concerned about a law suit. This is not even a religious matter or sexual discrimination - which is protected by law - OJ is hated still by many - his problem.
Yeah, poisoned by the owners, the sun and heat - sm
what total i*d*i*o*t*s - don't they know an autopsy will prove them wrong. I hope they owners both get locked up and heavily fined to boot. My own dogs are out a lot but I am home and when it is too hot they are in. Neither has ever had heatstroke. They have plenty of shade (they go under the deck sometimes and lay in the dirt, nice and cool down there) and water when they are outside. My neighbor has a boxer and has to be real careful with her dog, she has had one attack of heatstroke already this summer. Luckily she knows what to do as it happened once last summer; but it comes on very quick with boxers since they have such short snouts. Let us know what happens to the owners.
It was the OWNERS' fault for allowing the dog to run loose.
The fact that you didn't see him and ran over him was an accident. That accident wouldn't have occurred if those people had been responsible dog owners and kept him in a securely fenced yard.
Dear Owners of Aggressive Pit Bull:
I've already called animal control on you once and reported him for cornering, and then trying to bite me.
Well guess what. I bought mace. Not the wimpy dog-park spray, either. This is law-enforcement grade. It's the real deal.
The next time that sorry, un-neutered son-of-a-biotch comes anywhere near me, he's getting not just a warning squirt, he's getting the entire bottle in his face, maybe enough to close up his throat and kill him. I sure hope it does.
I live in Louisville and restaurant owners all over town are
applauding him for having done it. The restaurant he went to right after that was just around the corner and the owner there said he didn't have guts to not serve him.
Just moved to new house. Previous owners had dogs that
used the basement for a bathroom! It smells to high heaven! Anyone know what I can wash the concrete floor with? Would bleach solution help with the smell without causing a chemical reaction with the concrete? Local building store employees just gave me a blank look. TYIA.
Carfax relies on owners of the cars to report problems
We bought a "perfect" car, ྙ Olds (in 2000) that only had 45,000 miles on it. Loved that car but it was a flood car.The engine was still good but everything power plus the frame gave out in 5 years. Wouldn't pass inspection and had to junk it.
Nothing on Carfax had any of this info. So I'll never pay for a Carfax report again.
I could never put a price on that.
and the price is going up! nm

Not sure of price
I got mine years ago but my son just bought one and I think he might have spent around $100. Still worth the price since it wouldn't take Direct TV long to eat up $100.
price of
Hedge funds setting the price of oil worries me a lot more.
Price tags
Did they have the items priced with tags? I hate it when I go to a sale and no prices on items. I have had a few sales and always price items. It helps, but there are still the hagglers which drives me nuts. If you can afford a quarter, you can probably afford fifty cents. LOL.
Don't know what price range
you're looking at, but my husband is a vet, not in private practice anymore, and people used to give him gift certificates to Omaha Steaks, which he loved, and sometimes gave them himself to clients. I think sometimes they run specials on their website and could maybe get something for under 50 or 40. Another thing he really liked when in private practice, but he was large animal kind of out in the boonies, was Schwann's (sp). He said he used to keep a refrigerator with food and treats from Schwann's in case he couldn't leave and his people had to stay over to help.
If the descrepancy in price was not there....
they would have to. So long as MTs anywhere are willing to work for 3 to 4 cpl, quality will always be sacrificed. There are US companies that will take the cheapest MTs they can get, without worrying about quality, and those MTs don't make the corrections either. As long as anyone can offer the service at such drastically reduced prices, end users will sacrifice quality for price when cost is to the driving factor.
Look at generic foods. Most people by foods based on taste first, price second. Generic foods have had to increase their taste (quality) to be able to compete. The savings they gain are in lack of advertising, which they pass on to the consumer, which is how they undercut prices on the shelf. In the MT world, the cost was low enough that the end consumer was willing to sacrifice quality. Now, the US provider is having to compete with that cost profile, ergo the downturn in our ability to make $$. They are willing to sacrifice sentence structure, etc, so long as certain items are met to take the lower cost. So long as the lower cost drives an industry where the end consumer is willing to sacrifice quality, cost will always be the driving factor. Therefore, if the offshore (and low-paying US)MTSOs would increase their price, quality would become the primary difference, and MOST substandard MTs in all countries would simply find nobody willing to use their services, which would only benefit the industry regardless of the individual's geographic location.
Umm... what's that got to do with the price of eggs?
That was a pretty off-subject, incoherent rant.
Have you seen the price of Spam? sm
I don't think it is economical, especially given what is in it. I also remember when you got ham in a funny shaped can and whole chickens too.
as the to reference to Spamolot, which is now a Broadway musical...
I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay, I sleep all night and I work all day. Then something about on Tuedays I go to town in mummy's panties and a bra!
I love Monty Python.
Yep. OIl companies don't like the price low.
They cut production to get the prices up again. If we're not _____ by the oil nations, we're ____ by the American oil companies. G-R-E-E-D is the name of the game in the last few years.
Government tells us to cut our driving. Well, I hate to tell them but between a pickup and a car, we drove a total of 5,838 miles last year, and most of that mileage was 100 miles a day for DH to go to work. I get to the store once a month anymore, 2 mile round trip. The only thing I can cut down on is to walk to the store and back. Been there done that, but I'm no spring chicken and carrying 5 bags or more, well....you'd see a bag every 100 feet. 
usually it's half price
But most places you sneak food rather than pay :)
Just cuz of the price doesn't always mean it is
the best product. I have watched many segments on talk shows that prove the same ingredients are in expensive products as well as inexpensive products, and some of these products don't work at all. I'm not saying there aren't some really good products out there, but Suave does just as good a job on my hair as anything else on the market.
I'll add mine so someone can get 3 for the price of 1! ...nm

One can't put a price tag on what Christmas really means but...sm
if we didn't set limits/budgets in our household then we'd end up spending a cazillion bucks on the season. Having limits set helps keeps us on track of not getting carried away buying gifts yet lets us purchase gifts for people to Celebrate the season.... just as the wise men took gifts when Jesus was born to celebrate his birth. Setting limits gives everyone who is buying in our family line parameters for what kind of gifts they need to look at. Fortunately no one in our family line needs anything per se but that doesn't mean you shouldn't give them a gift. We do buy gifts in addition for foster kids and that comes from a different section of our family budget.
To try lamb without the high price,
you might buy the blade chops. The cuts of lamb I've had have been very rich and high in fat, and I highly recommend putting at least rosemary on it. It will smell like something a chef would make.
what price range...I see they are very expensive
I need a great shampooer.
What is the weather, What is the price, size, etc. sm
I am freezing up here. Would love to be able to buy and not rent.
I got you beat on the price you paid
I will not tell you what year I bought my home but it was 15,500. Yep, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath and stayed for a long time. Sold about a year or so ago for 165,000. I had added on over the years and had 2 baths and 3 bedrooms when sold plus other updates. Pretty good profit, huh?
It is supposed to triple in price s/m
in Michigan. Our local store informed us that as of April 1st, our $18 bag that we get will triple and is now taking orders for people to stock up (apparently you can freeze it). I personally do not smoke, but my DH does. He rolls as well and I'm just a person that stakes out the prices, LOL. He said that he wants to preorder several bags and plans on slowly quitting. He has tried the patches, gum, medication, etc, but I think in the long run, pricing will be what does it! Yeah for me!
Geez. I've never seen that price.
We have a produce store right down the street. They sell dairy, meats, breads, snacks, canned good, but the produce is what I go for.
Bananas are usually 3 lb. for $1, red peppers in the winter are 2 for $1, green 3 and sometimes 4 for $1, packaged radishes 3 bags for $1, lemons and limes 6 for $1, apples are $1 a basket, and globe tomatoes are 2 pints for $1. Fresh white mushrooms are 99 cents a pound and portabellos are $1.99 a pound (expensive in my eyes but fresh). cukes 4 for $1. They have fresh zuchini, egglant, yellow squash, yellow and orange peppers, asparagus, fresh herbs, you name it. Oh, they did up the price on lettuce and celery. They used to be 2 for $1 and now they're $1 a piece. They sell potatoes loose or by the basket, usually no more than $1.50. A 50 pound bag of red or white potatoes last week was $11.95.
They also sell bread at 2 loaves for $1.75. It used to be 2 loaves for $1.25.
I love this store but if I don't get there as soon as they open, I can't get in. It gets packed and there's not a parking spot to be found. Gee, wonder why?
Are you kidding?? That's a GREAT price. I'm going to Target. (sm)
Oh, the hot tub scene was great! I first thought it was blood, though, and I thought she got her period. Maybe the color on my TV is off?
you need to buy the brush to put it on, total price for the first time is $28
you can apply it in two different ways, one way in which you let your moisturizer dry and the put it on and another is use a bit of moisturizer to get that "dewy" look. Also you should always start off with less (at least with our brand) because it is layerable for a fuller-coverage. Also there are 6 different shades to choose from so you should be able to find a perfect match.
Asking you experts - where to buy "wireless" headphones, best price???
This is for a Christmas gift for my husband. He loves boxing and I hate it, so I would rather read in peace, Thanks for your help. Don't want "used." So I guess it's actually my gift to myself, I guess!
Love Ray Price's version if you play

NetMed has a price calculator on their website...15 cpl..
called apples to oranges. Shows how they calculate how they charge clients and how they pay per line.
Does anyone know the price of a stamp these days? I have lost track. I have some old ones,
want to mail some cards, but not sure if I can paste enough together to make enough postage? What is the price of one stamp now? Thanks
Try Florida. Lots of foreclosures there, and unfortunately the price of housing is way down.
you should be able to afford something there. Always warm.
My sister just moved there, on the gulf side.
Peronsally, I would rather pay full price than shop on Black Friday.

What price range? I recently made a slide show for a relative (sm)
from their old photos
Chevy ང flex fuel - love it! Big saving on price now, used to buy Olds.
