Just as a follow-up...

The noise turned out to be bad pinion and side bearings in the rear differential. I took it to a shop in San Antonio for repair - they were unable to fix it despite having...

I'm going to check the bearing - as the tire that's noisy has all of 250 miles on it.

Any suggestions for going about that? It would be much appreciated!

Here's the video link... as it's not showing up in my post.

Upon inspection, there was wear in the inside of the tires. My rear brakes were also shot. I had the rear tires replaced... and also found at that point that there was one other bad tire. As this...

Thanks, TXGreaseMonkey.

The tire appears to be good. I'm going to take it to a shop. If it's the wheel bearing, that's a few levels above my competence.

I have a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee (Automatic, 2WD, V6). I'm hearing a buzzing sound in at the rear of the vehicle, coming from the drivers side. I diagnosed that location by driving down the road...

What exactly are you trying to find out? I served in both officer and enlisted capacities, but I can't help if you don't specify your question.

Yes. By saying "unpaid" I'm assuming you're either (a) salaried or (b) an hourly employee who punches out for lunch. Once you are "off the clock" you can leave. The reason some companies limit...

"Tickle," there's no need for me to pull up yet another website... the site you cited already showed the accuracy of my statement.

Tickle, there's nothing in your cited material that indicates that service abroad is required to be considered a veteran. Let's review, shall we?

Upon further review, the blower is now working. Moderators, I don't know how to delete this question... but I would if I were able.

It hasn't been that cold down here in San Antonio, but it's pretty chilly right now. We have a Trane XE 1000 HVAC unit. For what it's worth, it's 32 degrees outside right now and cloudy. The unit...

Thanks, guys. I'll try the soft ice cream approach. Glad I asked, since I had intended to mix it to the consistency of maple syrup. I assumed it had to be very thin in order "seek its own level"...

You can complain... but are you considering that things may have come up in the business that distracted the director or that you may risk burning a bridge by pushing this up the HR flagpole?

This really is a state labor issue. Federal laws, as ballengerb1 states, do not mandate a lunch period. Period.

Honestly, at least here where I live, the best option is to simply confirm employment... unless that employee was stellar in every way. The best gauge I use for letters of reference is whether I'd...

Salaried employees are NOT entitled to OT pay.

Period.

What is your pay period?

Weekly? Monthly? Bi-Weekly?

If you're salaried and work a single MINUTE of your pay period, then you must receive the full salary. If you do not, then you're...

It all depends on whether you knew about (or should have known) about it up front. If the medical condition developed while in service, you'll be getting an honorable. If you didn't report...

Thanks, Tom...

I'm pretty sure I'm OK now, too. Although you're not one to go looking for trouble... I am. :-)

If it were backed up, I'd have a problem flushing the toilet... wouldn't I? The toilet flushes just fine... no issue with it backing up in the bowl.

Thanks, you guys are great... much appreciated for all the help over the past several months.

Sorry, Shirley... I have to disagree with you and agree with Scott. The employer has the ability to DEDUCT from (but not hold) the final paycheck.

It depends a great deal on where you are located. Some parts of the country are much more expensive than others.

Where are you?

It sounds to me like the capacitor may be out on the unit.

If that capacitor is out, your blower will not kick on. If the blower will not kick on, then the unit will overheat and shut down (or...
