What kind of jet-lag do you experience after such flights, huh ma'am?

What's it like when all the blood rushes to your feet because you now have to stand right-side-up in order to understand and be understood, huh ma'am?

It was many hours flying. Specifically 19 hours total, and a total time of 27 hours travelling from my parents house to Pittsburgh airport!

I have denim overalls on to combat the blood rushing to my head from being right side up. So far it's not doing much but making me look unfashionable.

I am quite jetlagged, and hungry.

1. Your delinquent Polish Math skills are forgiven just this once for the reasons stated, si ma'am.

2. You type right-side-up quite well, compliment ma'am. Is it fun to be bilingual, huh ma'am?

Many. Eat all the gringo food that might be in the casa, ingest ma'am. If it helps, the level of female beauty here in the Estados Unidos has perceptibly increased as a result of your arrival, si ma'am.

Over the last few months I've been trying to get myself used to not taking my 4 ibuprofen + 2 tylenol + icy hot and I can't say it has gone all that well. The 2 tylenol or 2 ibuprofen just take the edge off. I got one hour of icy hot and benadryl induced sleep last night before I was up again. Tonight I took a benadryl, but no sleep.

I'm rambling, but, a huge part of my problem is the "least painful" position is me taking up the whole queen bed. I have real trouble sleeping on half of it and our sofa that is in the third bedroom is not long enough. :cry: If we ever get our ceiling fixed, maybe I can sleep on the blow up bed in the spare room. When we lived in Denmark, sometimes I'd sleep on the floor in times like these, but alas our bedroom still has carpet and I still have allergies.

good morning!

so...uh...we are pretty much done with this car. firestone can't find anything wrong with it and they can't duplicate our problem (like some bad movie, the moment it's at the mechanic, it behaves perfectly). sometimes it randomly starts, sometimes it just won't start. yesterday the engine was turning over but the car wouldn't start...and then...10 minutes later the engine completely stopped turning over. if it randomly starts up again we might drive it over to the dealer and trade it in for something else.

Flying to Seattle on 6 May 2014!

did you wear down the battery from cranking it too much? This could be a fuel rail dilemma, and this may be a Throttle Body problem too, it could be sticky. It can still be an intermittent fuel pump problem.....

Try this. When you get in the car, turn the key to the "on" position, the position right before it cranks, and the bell is going "Ding ding sing" Let it stay like that for 5-10 seconds. Then continue turning the key to start it. What this did was allow the fuel pump and/ or fuel pressure regulator to "prime" the throttle body and fuel injection system....

If the car starts like this every time, it's the fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator. The regulator is cheap, the pump will cost 100 bucks plus labor.

Lesson learned..... Don't ever buy a Dodge. Only old geezers buy Dodges, and they smell bad, and they all look like california raisins. And Their skin look like beef jerky.....
