    Fords have a unique repair philosophy. It's sort of like trying to nail soup to the ceiling.

    OBDII has been standardized since 1996. I use the same $14 reader and $6 app with my 2002 Ford that I got for my 1997 Saturn. Also works fine on my roommate's 2012 Toyota and my old boss's 2018 Dodge.

    I have seen information that most auto dealerships make loads of money selling people repairs they do not need.  I would only take my car to a dealership for recalls I am not charged for and free service.  Find an honest auto technician in your area and use them.  Ask friends, neighbors or nearby family who services their car if you need direction.

    If the car is under warranty, take it to the dealership. Otherwise, take it to a regular garage. Dealerships charge up to twice the price (or more) for doing the same thing.

    There is a current thread about Zion with focus on no poor among them.
    What if instead of Zion being a place where the rich provide for the poor.  It is a place where no attorneys are necessary and business practices were honorable.  And craftsmen and manufacturers took pride in their work and didn't cut corners.
    Can you imagine the prosperity?

    Why are we even bothering to have this discussion about green energy?  We are all going to die in a blazing ball of CO2 unless we can get 2 billion East Asians to stop burning coal.

    We used a burn pit and it got plenty hot to melt down pretty much everything that didn't burn. Glass could still be recycled as large lumps, but aluminum tended to oxidize too much. 
    With a forge burning waste motor oil, it's fairly easy to cast piles of soda cans into ingots. Depending on current prices it's sometimes worth it.

    Just as soon as the Church assigns everyone to the building closest to them. 
    If Jesus hates the environment so much that he wants minivans driving extra miles, just who do you think you are to reduce waste?

    I grew up in a small town where everyone went to the same baptist church and everyone knew everyone else's business so I am kind of used to people not keeping questions to themselves but it was never an issue for people to have one child. I just don't understand the issue of having one child at all. I feel like if I tell someone at church I don't want anymore kids they will think there is something wrong with me

    Sure.  And let’s also impose a $1500 surtax on abortions for pregnancies that don’t threaten the mother’s life and aren’t a result of rape or incest.  We’ll use that money for a study of why women actually get abortions.

    Indeed  Tax the straws and the USA will stop using straws and then we can prove that none of them in the pacific are ours...  Of course the Tax man will demand another source and see that foam cups are also there. So they we tax those instead So we stop them which gets another target and so on and so forth.. And the USA then spends its leadership in a internal game of Avoid the Taxes... the rest of the world continues on and nothing is done about the trash in the pacific

    And that is a significant difference; I have close friends that I will discuss various topics with, when I would seriously consider a restraining order if some random person I may or may not remember the name of from church brought it up uninvited.

    Then you have the perfect answer; just rehearse it and prepare a Powerpoint with very detailed animations to help out.  Shoot for 10-12 minutes.  Word will get around fairly quickly after a few have been subjected to it.
    Obviously essential oils, colloidal silver and medical marijuana.
    Nothing more than a splint if they're properly trained in first aid and a ride to the hospital, hopefully.  Broken bones are not something to go by Brother Earl's grandma's home remedies for, unless you just want to spend the rest of your life limping.
    Let me put it very simply; barring the immediate aftermath of an injury, there are two women who are allowed to ask anything about my genitals; one is a very close friend for more than half my life and a nurse who used to work for a urologist.  The other is a relative and a doctor.  Any other woman bringing the subject up uninvited will get roughly the same handling as a child describing potty time during dinner.  Same goes for pretty much all men.
    Exceptions are available for potential mates who can show relevance to the future of the relationship after an appropriate lead-up period and for trained professionals with verified credentials and a legitimate belief that I'm unaware of something their professional experience tells them I should know.
    Others may allude to being willing to discuss the subject, but should be aware of the risk of having to sit through a 10-12 minute Powerpoint including various animated anatomical entities.
    You misspelled "neurotic and utterly unconcerned about the feelings of anyone who isn't their own Great and Holy self."
    The most extroverted people I know are also the ones most aware of what lines one should not cross prematurely, or ever.

    I have one son who isn't even 2 yet and people frequently ask me when I will be having another child. The thing is my husband and I have agreed we only want 1 child but I don't want to tell anyone that incase the Lord has other plans and I end up with another child, I wouldn't want people to think it was a mistake. So I awkwardly smile and want to die. Also , people at church seem oddly judgemental of parents who only want one child or only have one child.

    That's why I was thinking as well, I like the whole Jim Jones, David Koresh approach to faith.  Throw logic and caution completely out the window.  Because obviously Koresh and Jones have brought many people to Christ.

    My family has for many decades wanted me to adopt. Actually from the various deputations that I have received, any method of obtaining a child would be acceptable. Kidnapping would, I suspect, be tolerated. The latest visit that I had from my brother brought up, ‘Why not foster?’. If you are female in my family, you are expected to produce at least one child.
    At family gatherings, we put the children in the Center of room and just gaze at them in deep satisfaction. 
    But not everyone can raise a child.

    Not everyone can adopt either. It's not just going to the orphanage to pick a kid anymore. Quite possible that the same health issues preventing the couple from having kids could be physically, psychologically and/or financially disqualifying them from adopting.

    Really?  In what year did the first infertile person get married?  How about the first woman who already knew pregnancy would be a serious risk to her health due to existing medical conditions?
    It's hardly a new issue, and it's not the "older generation."  These questions often come from people barely in their 30s.

    The talking has been and is being done.  The problem is all the people who haven't listened, or just can't believe that their perfect selves could possibly be the ones who need to shut up.  I mean, they're literally the real life version of this satiric imbecile.
     
    I might include legitimate Priesthood line of authority in some cases, but even then it needs to be remembered that it is a personal decision between the couple and the Lord only.
    That about sums it up; unless your spouse's genitals are also involved, what someone else does with theirs is not a topic you're ever entitled to bring up with them.
