RomanceList Of Things You Better Stop Doing When You Turn 30s by sicario1(op): 7:22pm On Sep 08, 2016
I really don't know where to place this.

1. Calling your relatives to bail you out of a financial crisis you should be taking care of instead.
2. Living a life of regrets. Looking back at the past and wondering what would have happened, or thinking about that job you never got, or that person you never got married.
3. Blaming others for how your life is turning out – pointing fingers at your parents, family and your environment for how your life has come to be.
4. Believing and expecting that your life should have turned perfect by now, rather than knowing that success is a process made out of failures.
5. Consuming yourself in worry about what others are thinking of you.
6. Spending most of your money on partying, alcohol and eating out.
7. Waiting for others to fix things you can do yourself.
8. Showing off how drunk you were at a particular party on social media.
9. Seeking other people’s approval.
10. Having to keep certain friends who are a bad influence on you out of convenience because you are too scared or nervous to cut them out of your life.
11. Giving up on a venture or a task because it has suddenly appeared difficult to undertake.
12. Holding on to grudges and consuming yourself in resentment over a past misdeed of a good friend.
13. Ignoring your relationships, whether with your family or with friends who have been there for you in the past.
14. Spending more than you earn and running into debt every now and then.
15. Stalking your ex on social media instead of moving on with your life.
16. Advertising your new designer wrist watch or other luxurious items on social media in a bid to create unnecessary attention.
17. Making excuses for not maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
18. Waiting for things to happen rather than going out to make these things happen.
19. Trying to be perfect all the time and taking yourself too seriously.
20. Thinking that you can live up to others’ expectation of you.
21. Envying the lifestyle of other people you happen to catch on social media.
22. Buying inferior items because you are trying so hard to save a buck.
23. Becoming irrational and running wild with thoughts and beliefs without being fully informed.
24. Dressing up like a teenager and going along with fads, rather than dressing as an authentic image of who you are.
25. Denying the fact that you will soon be hitting 30, and wanting to be stuck with your 20s for life.
26. Trying to pull off some alcohol stunts every now and then.
27. Posing with a peace hand sign or any kind of sign in a photo.
28. Having posters of Terminator, Fresh Prince of Bel Air or The Godfather to decorate your apartment.
29. Engaging in online arguments, and responding to every confrontational attacks made at you.
30. Ignoring the fact that you have so much going for you in your life that you should be thankful for.

don't bother fixing, replace engine with a sharp toks.
Thank you sir.
Was just looking at a quick fix as per money no dey to afford a new engine. The mech assured he will return the engine to a perfect condition that the engine as at now is too good to be disposed. I think I will rob my account and replace it to avoid spending money twice in the long run

Run a diagnostic scan on the car to obtain objective clues.

For instance, a faulty knock sensor may be responsible, and replacing it should solve the problem.

Good luck.
I have already scanned the car. Knock sensor is ok. No engine specific error apart from engine coolant temp p0428 or so. It rattles heavily when accelerating. Its mechanical.

Is it safe to replace crankshaft or new engine?
Car TalkRe: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by sicario1: 7:32pm On May 16, 2016
I have an engine with a loud knocking noise most especially when accelerating.
Was considering getting a new engine at 250k so I can have peace of mind. My mech suggested it's fixable that I shouldn't spend that much. Came up with the quotes below:

Oil pump: 45k
Crankshaft: 75k
Oil filters: 8k
Roughly 150k for repairs.

Replacing the above will eliminate and return the engine to the best sound that's what he claims.
gurus I need your advise? The engine doesn't smoke or short oil. What's the best choice.

2008 Honda Accord

I have an 08 accord with engine knocking noise on cold start and when accelerating. When i take my leg off the pedal or normal idling. it sounds great and quiet. scanning throws a knock sensor code. Had a peep at the sensor and found no wire connection/connector to it. Will locating the cable and connecting fix this knocking sound or is there other things to look out for.

guys who use their hearts, Only fools use their heart in the game of love. the op is probably a teenager or an adult who is new to the game.

this is no conundrum, he should get a new bitchh not crying over one.
Thanks for the contributions everyone. Falconey you've never found love yet. Like I said, I have been the kind of guy who doesn't take relationships seriously just like you now. Play the game with your head not your heart. But a guy has to settle down someday and leave the gameplay behind you know.
RomanceReally Hard To Move On by sicario1(op): 8:40pm On Mar 06, 2016
Okay guys,

Currently in that familiar stage of a relationship. The breakup and moving on stage.

I and the girl I intended to marry just called it quit after a year plus. We both were committed in making it work cos of the distance between us(different cities). The trust was strong. We spoke on phone everyday for the past years. Once in a while, she comes to be with me. It was amazing for me and her. The love was strong.

I made a huge mistake by snooping into her phone. Just wanted to be sure, the lady I intended proposing to was true and pure. Well, found out that her ex was still working his way to get her back. She met with her ex few months before coming to see me and mistakenly she succumbed and they got kissing according to her which she regretted and kept rejecting his proposal of getting back together. He was her first love. All from a voice note I found.

I was really upset, but somehow after days of pleading from her. I forgave her but by then it was too late. She felt guilty of breaking the trust and thought getting back together will never be the same. So we called it quit, a decision we both took.

But now, I am devastated, she was meant to be the one. Don't know whether I should get in touch with her and fix things or move on. It's difficult. Moving on is hard. I need mature advice from a relationship expert/coach. Should I let her go completely or look forward to getting her back. Before we called it quit. She cried that she doesn't want him that it's me she wanna be with.

Am a tough guy but this time around I am helpless. Starting all over is hard. Advise guys
