    Looking to buy: Teach me your ways about snow blowers / throwers

    I live in NH and have an Ariens St926DLE bought back in 2005. It has been great and is still going strong. I will admit that I have been lazy on maintenance and leaving gas in the blower during the summer. Even with all my negligence, it has never failed me. Just a bit of advise for heavy wet...

    Need input on new commuter vehicle options

    I looked at the Honda Accord Hybid and test drove one at Auto Fair Honda in Manchester. I came away with "Meh, It's an Accord". I definitely felt the Sales Manager at Auto Fair was quite sleazy. I ended up buying my Ford Fusion Hybrid at Ford of Londonderry. I had a good experience with them.

    Need input on new commuter vehicle options

    I too live in NH and commute 50 miles each way. I drove a 2002 WRX and then a 2009 WRX. Back in April, my engine threw a rod bearing and I decided to buy a new car. I looked at some of the cars you did and ended up getting a Ford Fusion Titanium Hybrid. Now, I do not drive it like you should...

    New member of the family

    With my 2 dogs, we used the bell trick to let us know when they need to go to the bathroom. I have some bells hanging from the doorknob on my backdoor. Whenever they need to go out to use the bathroom, they will ring the bell to let us know. Keep in mind that you only ever use the bell to take...

    good lord, dehumidifiers are expensive!

    I believe I have a Fridgeaire as well. It would not drain out the hose like yours. I removed the back wheels so that it was angled backwards and then it started to drain from the hose. You might want to give that a try.

    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (SPOILER ALERT!!)

    In the book, the snatchers catch them by surprise because Harry says Voldemort's name which gives away their location.

    Cutie Pie

    Both my ferrets had Adrenal glad disease at the same time about 3 years ago. They had surgery to remove them. My ferrret Hobbes's gland came back negative for cancer. Timmy's had cancer. He did fine for 2 years and then he got a big tumor on his rear. I had that removed. 5 months later he got...

    Cutie Pie

    Here is my Timmy. He passed away last month due to cancer. I still have my Hobbes though. Although I loved my ferrets very much, I will be getting a dog next since my wife and I bought a house.

    Friend's ipod not working

    What generation Ipod is it? My 1st gen (POS) use to do this all the time because of the firewire port. After so many times plugging and unplugging a firewire cable into it, the contacts from the firewire port would break off the main board of the Ipod. I had to open it up and resolder the...

    Are there any cities within a two hour drive of Boston that are nice?

    I live in Nashua, NH right now. I commute to work (Harvard) everyday. With the rte 3 construction finished now, it takes me 50mins to get there. I find the housing prices in Nashua to be too much. My wife and I just bought a newly constructed house in Milford,NH. We payed a little over 300K...
