Just walking in is rude, and a sign that you're gonna have problems with the jerk. So I'd just change the locks. Now, if he "breaks in" he has seriously comitted a felony (and he knows this so he probably...

You aren't at the mercy of your landlord, you are simply being expected to do as you promised in the lease you signed. That lease was a mutual agreement. You BOTH agreed to the terms, and now you're trying to violate one of them. 90% of the time it is the tenant who violates a lease,... not the landlord. The landlord bought the property, pays the taxes and insurance, and lets you live...

MY car manual says to use 5W-20 motor oil. I just got home from getting it changed and noticed they put 5W-30 in it. Any big deal?
It is deffinately NOT going to hurt a thing, especially considering that you will probably get an oil change in 4 or 5 months anyway. Just correct it then. It's not even an issue on your warranty. Thinner oil gets you in trouble,...not thicker.

Do you miss the personal service and attention that they used to give at smaller local businesses? Why have we as consumers tolerated otherwise?
We, as consumers, voted the special service of the small business off the island. Large chains provide products cheaper by keeping their expenses very low. This means the dont pay for doormen, busboys, gas station attendants, delivery boys, and such. We, as consumers, chose good prices over good service.

Do you refrigerate your bread?
Bread is best either at room tempurature or in the freezer. A refrigerator will dry out the moisture in the bread and result in a small amount of shrinkage. Store your food the way you buy it in a supermarket. You NEVER see bread in a refrigwerated case for a reason. Same goes with lots of vegetables and fruits. Tomatoes and bananas are frequently tainted by storing in your refrigerator. You...

What would be a good thing to put on an old wooden cutting board that is drying out? (it was my mom's so I don't want to replace it)
Linseed oil is perfect for re-moisturizing and sealing an old cutting board. You should run some medium fine grit sandpaper over it first. rinse it very well, let it dry COMPLETELY, then give it 3 or 4 coats of linseed oil waiting about an hour in between applications. Then, re-apply after 30 days.

If you went out to dinner, what would be your favourite main course?
I tend towards their specialty. If it's a steakhouse, I'll get a big medium rare NY Strip or Sirloin. If it's a pasta place, it's gotta be veal picatta. At a seafood place I go for red snapper. At a pancake house, it's gotta be some glorified pancake concoction. I would never order a steak at a seafood restaurant, nor spaghetti from a steakhouse.

Though economists have said the U.S. is in a recession, do you feel better knowing that Bush just announced it isn't?
There is an actual economic deffinition for a recession. Any time that there is a decline in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for TWO CONSECUTIVE quarters, that's a recession. The GDP is the total sum of the US output of goods and services. If the 2 quarters are not consecutive, it is NOT a recession.
In theory, if one quarter the GDP could go down 3%, the next quarter up .1%, and then...

My tenant has a month to month lease. She pays on the first of the month. She has just given her 30 day notice in the middle of the month. Do I have any legal recourse or can she get away with leaving mid month?
If she gived a 30 day notice on the 15th of the month, she is still liable for the full rent on the first....so she may as well call it a 45 day notice. In the lease she AGREED to pay the rent monthly on the first. Nowhere in the lease does it ever say that you can pay 15 days worth because your vacating mid month. That's the law in Illinois anyway.

loose or disconnected vaccume hose, perhaps. It's sucking in air instead...and when raining, the moisture is fouling out your engine. When it's dry there's no moisture(or less moisture) to affect it.

The gain is the difference between the purchase price and the selling price. (18,000-5,500=12,500)This would be a gain of $12,300.00 less any costs of selling.

Next, I add 1 TBS each of Garlic powder, celery salt, and poultry seasoning. Mix well.

A large sweet potato by itsself will be done in a 400 degree preheated oven for 50 minutes.

How can I prevent my eyes from watering when I chop onions?
There is a lot of folklore on this topic. The bottom line is minimizing the onion juices and mists from entering your eyes. Most home kitchens don't have sharp knives because no one sharpens them or they sharpen them incorrectly. A razor sharp knife will go a long, long way to minim ize the problem. A sharp knife will slice...a dull one will tend to mash the cell walls of the onion thereby...
