Hello Velvet! I was going to ask you how you felt about NAIS, but was afraid to. I just got called a KOOK in the likes of PETA today by someone who thinks NAIS is just a crock of @#$%. They assume without reading about it that it is some kind of urban legend or something. WHEW glad to see you know about it. Anyway still waiting on my eggs! I just knew they would be here today, but maybe tomorrow. Sharon aka GOATSTER

To those searching for more on the Toyota engine oil sludge or gel matter, please see the following links: http://www.toyotaoilgel.com http://www.uc2.blogspot.com http://www.autosafety.org Follow "toyotasludge" on Twitter.com Watch the Toyota Sludge video on YouTube.com at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fs7WI2s-CVw If you have blue/white smoke from the exhaust, especially on start up; check engine light on; excess oil consumption or sudden disappearance of engine oil; failed emissions control components such as the oxygen sensor or catalytic converter; a thrown engine piston rod; or complete engine failure, then be on alert! Notify Toyota via CERTIFED letter with return receipt requested about your problem and ask for full repair coverage under Toyotas Customer Support Program for Engine Oil Gelation. Speak up loudly online if Toyota refuses to honor this program or continues to blame you in the wake of proper vehicle maintenance. If Toyota is totally unresponsive in the wake of a failed engine due to engine oil sludge build up, consider going to the following web sites to voice your concern: http://www.ConsumerAffairs.com http://www.RipOffReport.com Regardless of the Toyota response, be sure to file online vehicle owner complaints at: http://www.autosafety.org The Center for Auto Safety http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ivoq/ The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Just to make it clear, the Toyota engine oil sludge problemthe one that has attracted so many defamers to follow me around the internetis STILL a problem. There are many later model Toyota models showing signs of the same problem. What is worse, Toyota owners are reporting continued deception at Toyota and Toyota dealerships. Far too many Toyota owners are being told they do not qualify for the CSP repair cost coverage for one reason or another. Still other Toyota model owners who have sludged engines are being asked to pay thousands in repair costs despite proper vehicle maintenance. This is wrong!

I don't imagine you could take that measurement without breaking the seal. The inadequate seals are the bigger concern, though since they mean air leakage from outdoors is possible. In talking with a local window and door distributor who reps. a number of lines, including Andersen and Marvin, he said that Marvin windows are far superior. I've gotten that from lots of experienced builders as well. But he said he found Andersen doors to be superior to Marvin's. So much for one stop shopping! Windows are more important, though.

Well the reason no incident could be found in Georgia records is because this took place in Panama City a few days ago. Police were involved. Apparently the new boyfriend had slapped the be0jesus out of her in a bar full of people about 20 minutes before it happened so Cops were enroute to the scene before anyone ever got in a vehicle. We spoke to Mom. She called last night. J questioned her her about it. She told us the whole torid story and told us she's back in town....ugh. She apparently was doing coke and meth while living with ole' boy and he was abusing her so she moved back. J told her she needs to go complete her treatment. This woman will never get better untill her mental issues are addressed. She is wanting to take the girls out for a few hours thursday but as of right now she has NO WHERE TO TAKE THEM! She is already talking to Nat again (the old boyfriend who strangled her in front of the girls) and making plans to hook up with old user friends. She is visiting with a female friend of hers today who we know for fact is a user. J told her he doesn't feel like she is serious at all about getting clean....she isn't. She denies it of course but what junkie will tell you they are in fact a junkie? Denial is a sad thing. He told her the old routines are already starting and she's only been in town two days. I mean, she wasted NO TIME hooking up with the same old crowd. I don't need this drama right now. I just know we are all in for a roller coaster ride. AGAIN. She is not going to be able to get the girls if the patterns still suggest she is dangerous in anyway to the girls. I'd say using coke and meth and hanging with the man who abused her in front of them is dangerous. I'm to the point where I wish this woman would just fall off the face of the planet. How many up's and down's must the girls go through with this moron? Not to mention how much more BS can J and I handle???
