Hey all. My Honda Odyssey's passenger daytime running light won't work. It's not the bulb (I've tested and switched) nor the fuse (I've tried them all and again switched). An electrician (but not car savvy) friend added a grounding wire that worked on and off for a few days, but then stopped no matter how much I fiddled. I tried replacing the multifunction switch, that's not it either. I can't afford to take it in for the hours of diagnostics but I'm not sure what to even look for myself in tracing the wiring, or if I need to jack it up to do so. I can't find anything on YouTube that helps. Could someone walk me through how I can test this out myself? My inspection is about to be up and lite

This sub got me through some really bad periods of depression. About a year and a third ago, I finally extracted myself from living with 3 other adults who were all at some point in our relationships emotionally and physically abusive to me. For most of the 4.5 years we were all living together, it had been only emotionally abusive but still. Still, divorce and having to fully support myself and a child are really difficult. I've built back up a lot and wanted to come into this new year strong. But I thought i was healed enough and intentionally saw 2 out of 3 of those people this past week (I'm LC with them both, the third died before COVID). Well, since i live in my own space, my protectio

I've discovered my 8 month old hound puppy is very reactive to mittens. At first i thought it was because i wore mittens that had fur on the end that looked kind of like squirrels... That wasn't smart on my end. So i switched it up to knit mittens in completely different colors and patterns that only resemble the other ones in that they're mittens. She's still jumping on me to get them, biting my hands/the mittens (just a tad bit harder than play and not letting go on our cue, which she's usually pretty good at, or with a squeak), and going generally a bit nuts on our walks until i take them off. Which I'm doing, because i don't feel like getting bitten. But i have reynauds and cannot go the

I don't buy makeup very often, and I don't often find a brand that I like and want to stick with, but I adored my loose powder eyeshadow and the dual pallet pressed powder eyeshadow from high intensity pigment. I see now that they are discontinued and I'm not comfortable ordering from eBay, is there any similar loose powder eyeshadow?

i know i caused harm. i moved us into the home of the parents who were physically and emotionally abusive to me as a child for nearly 5 years. i swore i'd never go back but we couldn't afford rent and i wanted to try to keep us together as a family. at least try. they wouldn't let me kick him out even though they kept asking me to make him do better. it was a terrible emotional situation for all of us. they stopped being physically abusive, to my knowledge, a few years before i moved out for college. the emotional toxicity of the place was terrible, and hubby (my Q) blames me for that, for moving us in. he blames the circumstance for making his drinking "appear" more problematic. and maybe i

My toad, which i owned before my RV, cannot be towed other than on a flatbed. I have considered all of the options, including storing it and selling it, but right now it works best as the vehicle for me. Where can I buy a flatbed?

**Puppy ate corn cobs out of the compost. These cobs had been quartered lengthwise, so they don't have the girth they normally would, but are just as long. I'm unsure how many pieces. The cobs may have had some garlic salt still on them as well. They were thoroughly cooked in a manner that left them more pliable and less abrasive than corn cobs usually are. We g

I've been getting greens from a local farm, co-op style. If i could make salads meal prep style, i might actually use most of it up during the week. Is there a way to do this and keep the greens fresh and crispy, or am i just doomed?

I have a kohler 4ckm21 on a 20+ yo class c i just bought. The generator will rev but not turn over. The guy i bought it from said he thinks it just needs the carburator cleaned. I think it's either that or the fuel injector that needs cleaning. I've got the cleaner for either, just don't know how to get to the fuel injector or how to take out the carburator to clean it. Has anyone done this before and does anyone have photos of the process? I couldn't find anything on YouTube.

Hey all. I've been an intermittent lurker, thinking I'd keep it at vanlife and popups but i think we're gonna make the transition to full size. So I'm looking at a Damon Hornet 3001 on a Ford e350 chassis. If i remember correctly it's at about the 150k mile mark and the guy wants 9k for it. I checked out the roof and the bathroom and the tires etc, no leaks. Only one very teeny spot of anything that resembled mold in an area of a bedroom cabinet, overall smelled clean. What do I need to investigate on this guy or any other to know if I'm making a smart or stupid choice? Help me join your ranks please!

Edited to add: we're pretty much exclusively looking for a class c

I have a 2001 Sea Pine and our propane tank came off of the tongue, rolled through and out, and did a little bit of damage on the way out. Some wires got pulled loose, mostly white but a blue also I think, and I want to make sure I'm putting them back together properly. If anyone has this or a similar (Grand Tour Series) and could take photos of their undercarriage, I would much appreciate it.

I consider myself a fairly empathetic person. I also have been considered by others selfish/self absorbed, and they have a point at times. So, I find myself having serious difficulties kindly and effectively advocating for my own wants and needs when something has happened/a situation arises in which my wants/needs clash with another person's needs. Or their wants about how they meet their needs. Don't get me wrong... Someone actually fucks with me and, if it is safe to do so (and probably sometimes when it's not), my mouth opens before I can even think about it and I'm asserting myself. But when I can clearly empathize with the needs of the other person and recognize that mine are still imp

Something about full fledged being in my mid thirties was a great wakeup call to all the things I've been realizing over the past decade plus of official adulthood. It's like... Actualizing. For so long "over the hill" seemed so old and far away and now it's like... Right over there and the hill looks like it's gonna be a great one to nap on in the sun. Maybe I'm just growing into my autonomy and making it more real.
