    I know nothing about cars, lol.
    I would check the lease and see what it says about servicing and maintenance.

      Re: Off Topic 2014

      We put my fiancé's dog down coming up on two years ago now. I've never been there for it so it was my first time. I liked her dog but I wouldn't consider her "mine," but it was extremely emotional. She was struggling in old age so she panted a lot, they gave her the needle and it's like you could see it hit her... She got calm, then laid down then closed her eyes. So sad but also comforting to know she was done being in pain.

      It is gut wrenching. If you can handle it, I suggest to be there when it's done. My fiancé couldn't bear it so she had to leave but I just bawled my eyes out with the dog, vet, and her mom. I know you can say last goodbyes before leaving the room but being there when your dog passes, I feel like they don't have to watch you go one last time. For all the times we have to leave them to go to work or school or vacation, I don't want that to be the last memory. But it is tough as hell to be on the opposite end.

        Sorry to hear about that cb, I know that's gotta be rough.

            I can't stand the format change on zap2it, it ruined the site for me. Do you have any local sites that used zap2it for their tv listings? MLive.com for example has zap2it, but it's still the old format so I use that instead.

            Not sure if this will work, but I'll link it just in case: http://affiliate.zap2it.com/tvlistings/ZCGrid.do

              Am I the only one that just uses the on-screen guide?

              Every cable provider has that now, right?

                I use it for terrestrial channels. I have the Dish guide, but it doesn't show all the extra local stations

                    Yeah I can't remember the last time we didn't have an on-screen guide. Early 2000's we upgraded to extended cable, and now even regular cable has that ability.

                    Just another thing kids of the coming generations will never know. I remember reading the TV Guide that came every week to see when games or shows were. It's crazy how easy things are now.

                      Sorry to hear that. We had to put my pug down last year so I can definitely empathize with you.

                      Last December we found out that our 13 year old Pit Bull, Short Dog, has congestive heart failure. He's slowing down a lot. I can barely even get him out of the bed in the morning. We took him back in for a bad cough a little over a month ago and our vet just gave us the "he could be here another three days or he could be here for another three years, so just spoil him while you can" line.

                      The reason we had to put my pug down was because he had cancer. That was definitely one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I'm not sure which one I dread more... Having to go through that again or just coming home and finding him one day. Just thinking about either makes me upset. Dammit.

                      Again... sorry for your loss CB

                        Well I said that I would want to be in the room, but I've never been in the situation and I guess i can't really know what it is like. I can imagine how tough it is...

                            I remember the time when you had to go to the store and buy TV Guide. It was quite popular because it like half magazine half tv guide.
