Rants Raves and Stupid Shit in Seattle.

This is utterly disgusting:

Cannot believe someone would do that. One reason why I eat at home most of the time.

I agree, it's tuff to get honest feedback and reviews on tna.

90% of the red dots come from providers because they pay to advertise and have to be premium to give red dots.

It's vicious also when a good girl gets ridiculously flagged with red dots by other jealous girls just because 1 review is not favorable over the other 50. These providers are like piranhas waiting to chomp on competition so guys avoid the red dots and prey on the negative review. I saw multiple girls show me their profiles and shows who tagged them with red dots and not surprisingly it was like a click gang of older providers with nothing better to do. You can tell who they are because they spend hours everyday commenting on just about everything.

Need another safe platform. Privatedelights seems to be attracting more and no red flagging there.

The most successful women don't get involved.

Many are also unstable.

Be polite and respectful and say very little. The unstable women will use what you say against you.

Thanks for all the feedback about brakes.

For what it's worth, nothing sounds funny when I break while driving in reverse, like backing out of a parking stall.

And, it didn't make noise early this morning. But now again, not quite metallic grinding, but it sounds like a bigger piece of rubber, like a giant wiper blade, rubbing up against something.

I'm happy if this is something that I can deal with for 300 dollars, meaning that it doesn't spill up to 1000. I don't need that setback right now.

A great number of shops have gone to packages. Rotors are a wear item and are replaced, as opposed to being resurfaced as in times past. There are piles of parts rusting away behind any brake shop because no one turns rotors or drums anymore. Maintaining and operating a brake lathe just isn't cost-effective I'm told.

In Seattle, there is ONE place to visit for an inspection and evaluation: D & D Brake Service at 107th & Aurora. Larry is the owner. He worked for and then bought the shop from its co-founder, Don Danley. Their reputation is stellar because they built it that way--you will NOT be lied to, cheated or stolen from. No appointment needed. Hope this helps.

Another great brake shop is Brakes For Less in Lynnwood. The owner started the shop in 1987 and replaces only what is needed. He turns drums and rotors the old school way. They work on brake booster units as well. Recently took my car to him and he found a rock had gotten in the caliper between the brake pads on the back side. Charged me $20 to resolve.

Uncle Les is a full replace everything shop wanting a small fortune to do brakes. The advantage is they have shops all over to take care of you if there is a problem.

He thinks he's a bad ass by being a "straightshooter" but he definitely wouldn't talk shit to your face. He's a keyboard cowboy. He's better when he isn't drinking (as are most people) but his schtick get's annoying. Good guy, sure, to have a drink with.

[SeattleGonzo]

I'm not sure I'd second that. He got a little fixated on one provider and made some decisions that were not healthy for anyone involved, which I believe ended up for the basis of his banning.

No pushback that you only need to put one foot wrong on TNA to get the boot; best to stay low-key for sure.

Still. He is a good guy.

Sometimes there is no noise at all. My last truck something happened to one of the calipers that ate through the brake pad. I didn't know anything was wrong until there was metal on metal grinding. Ended up having to change the calipers and rotors in the parking lot at work.

Also, rotors aren't that expensive. They're probably $60-$100 each for your average car.

Also, also, when you do your brakes do both wheels on the axle. Never do just one wheel unless it's an emergency. There is a very good likelihood your car will pull to the direction with the better working brakes.

Maybe I'm out of the loop on more modern cars. I know that brakes, when they need some work, start to make a kinking noise. The kinking noise means that you need to replace certain parts, but there is hope that you haven't gone into the rotors. I know that when you need new rotors, that's where you're out some big bucks. I'm no expert on cars, but I believe that if you only need replacements for brake pads, brake shoes, or boots, you can get away with a 200-300 dollar bill, as opposed to the 1000 or so whole new brakes with rotors cost.

My brakes, when I brake, don't sound like they're digging into the rotors. Rather, it sounds kind of like some big hard rubber thing is rubbing up against something. If I'm lucky, it might be a squeegee type noise, because it rained kind of hard last night.

I have not heard kinking sounds, yet. I know that it doesn't always happen. That being said, does the kinking sound still happen with brakes on modern cars? Or, is that antiquated?

Various "noises" from brakes can be hard to determine what the exact issue is. One thing, though, is that it imperative you check the brake fluid reservoir, and if needed, fill it with the correct kind of brake fluid. On some cars, the reservoir is easy to get at, but on others, it's a challenge.

One other thing is to have the brake fluid changed when required. Your owner's manual should state when that is needed.

His actual user name on TNA was / is BOB ONTHIS. I always thought he was OK.

Which you will do, if you see Katie Rose. Multiple brave men reported that she wastes 30 minutes of a 60 minute date trying to get to know you better, by chatting.

Alana Kay is the same way lately. She will even stop mid-blowjob to strike up some stupid conversation. She'll go back to it and stop again with some other topic. When time is up, she'll wordlessly get up from the bed and sit down with her phone, and immediately become dismissive. She wasn't always like this, but lately has shifted in her attitude. Avoid for sure.
