Tips and Information on...everything!
Do you own a car that’s more than a couple of years old?
If so, chances are you’ll have to replace the battery with a new one in the not-so-distant future.
When that time comes you’ll have to make some decisions when choosing a replacement battery.
One of those decisions is the type of warranty coverage you want to have on the new battery.
Well, we’re now smack in the midst of summer, and it sure is turning out to be a scorcher here in my neck of the woods!
If it’s super-hot where you live too you probably feel blessed to have an air conditioner (AC) in your car.
However, if your car’s AC isn’t really cooling as it should you’re likely gonna be in for a long, miserable summer.
But there’s good news: You can probably get that poorly-performing AC system working again for about the cost of a really good pizza!
Question from Jessie M.: My husband and I have been recycling for years by sorting our recyclable items into separate bins and taking them to the recycling center at the county landfill.
My husband took a load off this morning but they told him they’re no longer accepting recyclable items because research has shown that the benefits of recycling aren’t worth the effort.
They ended up throwing our recyclable items into the dumpster along with the regular garbage!
We can still take our recyclable materials to a local private recycling center, but they don’t accept plastics (which is what we usually have the most of).
What’s the real story on this? Is it worthwhile to recycle or not?

Now that we’re in the midst of summer it’s a perfect time to treat your kids (and yourself!) to some delicious frozen treats.
And what could be better on a hot summer day than a variety of fruity (and healthy) homemade frozen popsicles!
Surprisingly, popsicles are one of the easiest treats you can make at home.
Does your car have a Keyless Remote for unlocking the doors, popping the trunk or even starting the engine?
If so, that remote contains a small battery that will eventually need to be replaced.
When that happens most people take their remotes back to the dealership to have the battery replaced, but that’s almost always a big mistake.
