Asmar’s Auto Care, Clean and Well Managed

I am truly amazed at this wonderful auto shop in Spring Valley, CA.

The shop itself is clean, well organized and managed.

I have never been in a cleaner auto shop.

It is managed by Ryan Ogden a very nice man

who is not out to cheat, or gouge you

when you bring your car in for a repair.

I have an older car and it needed and electrical part.

The dealer did not carry the part I needed any more

and there were none available in the junk yard.

Ryan made me a part.

Without the part I could not have driven my car at night.

I fully recommend for you to take your car, truck or van to

Swamp Cooler in my Window

I had a swamp cooler which was positioned on top of my mobile home for 30 years.

I used it for 5 years to cool my home.

Last year it rusted out and leaked through my hallway causing extensive water damage.

All I had for cooling was my fans.

This year after asking my mobile home neighbors what to do about this horrible heat; they suggested I get another swamp cooler. I did. I had one installed in my wall in the living room.

It puts out a nice breeze but it only cools the living room. Before with my old one it blew the air down the hall way and kept the heat down in my whole home.

Now I am seriously considering having air conditioning installed. It is hot and the older you get the less your body can handle the heat.

I like my swamp cooler for the living room; especially combined with my fan. The cool air really blows around. But yI still need to use the other rooms in my home.

Financially, running the swamp cooler simply makes more sense. It really saves the money on the electric bill.

Let me hear from you. What do you think?

Floor Registers are Important

When you have new floors or carpeting installed make sure the floor registers are now covered.

This is what happened to me. Right after the carpeting was installed and the registers were covered by carpeting I found out what a dangerous NO! NO! this was.

Today when my new furnace was installed the furnace guy had fun moving all my furniture and finding out where the mysterious registers were hiding and opening them up.

Without the registers open the heat does not distribe thoughout your home evenly. It all stays lumped into one area.

The pressure can build up without release and KABOOM. No more home.

Be careful when having new flooring installed.

My New Furnace

I just had a new furnace installed. The old one was a huge bear of rust. It actually still worked even though it was over 30 years old. But I just got tired of having to have a technican from the gas company come out every year to work their magic to get it started. Also when I turned it on - sometimes it didn’t always click on until I turned it on 2 or 3 times. I was also worried about a fire.

Now my worries are over. The next expensive project will be adding airconditioning.

Picking Your Own Name

Did you ever want to change your name? If you are really serious and want to divorce yourself from your birth name or your married name and it really bothers you — change it.

Life is to short to be stressed out over something that can easily be achieved.

Swamp Cooler vs Window Air Conditioner

I have used an old, old swamp cooler which was on the top of my house for about 5 years. Last year during one of the worst hot spells it spung leaks cause it was rusted through and through. I like my swamp cooler. I could leave it running 24/7. It is a hidden secret since the Electric Company can not gauge you on your monthly bill. Actually, it is the cheapest way to cool your house. It will not get cold like an air condition but it will keep it cool.

Today I had to make the decison to purchase and install a new swamp cooler or put in a new window air conditioner. The air conditioner I rarly ran cause of the bill electric bill. But the swamp cooler I never gave a thought to the cost of running it.

So when I said I want a new swamp cooler instead of a window air conditioner everybody was surprised except me. I do not really like the COLD. For this reason and for economical reasons my new swamp cooler is being installed within the week.

TTY Machines and talking on the phone

Most of us have never heard of a TTY Machine or will have to use one. But when you can not talk or hear this is a miracle.

It is a 3 way communication with you, your phone party and an operator.

You can never have a private conversation again.

If you want more details check out my many articles on this subject.

When You Suddenly Lose the Ability to Talk

What happens when something so ordinary like, talking or singing is gone.

What do we do then?

This happened to a close friend of mine. She took Osteoporosis medication and lost her voice.

We do not know if she will ever talk again.

It is very frustrating to communicate with her and she is just as frustrated trying to communicate with me. I have had to learn how to read lips and the finger alphabet.
