Our car has self-diagnosed some sort of problem. The “check engine” light has been on for about half a year. Despite the warning light, we continued to drive the car.

What my husband and I have done for the last six months is assumed possible problems. My husband thought it could be the transmission. Then he thought it was the catalytic converter. Then the oxygen censors. Finally, I recommended getting a diagnostic test to see what is really wrong with the car. [more]

I’ve never been accused of being a neat freak. Though most of the time I will probably put my dirty clothes into a hamper, I’m the first guy to leave jackets hanging on chairs. I’m the guy kicking off my shoes in the entryway of the house. I may even leave a dish or two in the sink (something that I’m getting better at, however). Don’t even get me started on my car. [more]
