This one I was actually taking a welding test, passed w/ a B+. I wasn't wearing a safty vest.

I'm back

I was reading a website the other day and stumbled upon an advice column, similar to 'Dear Abby', I found a helpful column at thought I would share w/ you....

Dear Walter:

I hope you can help me here. The other day, I set off for work
leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't
gone more than a few hundred yards down the road when my engine conked
out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husband's help.
When I got home, I couldn't believe my eyes. He was parading in front
of the wardrobe mirror dressed in my underwear and high-heel shoes,
and he was wearing my make up.

I am 32, my husband is 34 and we have been married for twelve years.
When I confronted him, he tried to make out that he had dressed in my
lingerie because he couldn't find his own underwear. But when I asked
him about the make up, he broke down and admitted that he'd been
wearing my clothes for six months. I told him to stop or I would leave him.

He was let go from his job six months ago and he says he has been
feeling increasingly depressed and worthless. I love him very much,
but ever since I gave him the ultimatum he has become increasingly
distant. I don't feel I can get through to him anymore. Can you please help?

Sincerely,
Mrs. Sheila Usk




Dear Sheila:

A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused
by a variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking that there
is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the jubilee
clips holding the vacuum pipes onto the inlet manifold. If none of
these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump
itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the carburetor
float chamber. I hope this helps.

Walter
