Okay, well, determined that I like HEB's organic coconut a lot better than Kroger's coconut. Kroger adds Sodium Metabsulfite and doesn't taste nearly as good as HEB's coconut; HEB's coconut "tastes fresh" or something. Also, for the same price, Heb comes in 7 ounces while Kroger's is 5 ounces.
-----------------
Thinking through construction, I just realized I could use a second place to sleep during expansion since expansion would expose the interior, and I'd imagine expansion would normally take a couple of days. So, thinking what that could be... was hoping to sell the RV but its the only other "okay" sleeping opportunity I have. (Tent and air mattress are horrible to sleep in and I wouldn't want to sleep in the van on the street, it's too exposed.).
I was thinking to keep cash reserves comfortable, I would start small (8x8), sell the RV, then immediately expand to 8x16. But then the question of where to sleep during expansion came up.
I guess I could tape off the open side with a bit of plastic and some gorilla tape, and still sleep inside protected from the bugs, but... that's a lot of tape and I don't know how feasible it'd be securing an 8x8 opening against bugs.
I guess I could keep the 2'ft studs in place, so it becomes a matter of securing multiple 2x8 areas. That seems a bit more feasible. So, yes, I think that's what I'll do. I basically want something that can hold a desk, so I can do desk work, something that's not particularly "easy" inside the RV (Bed is not a proper desk, lol, not the right environment.).
Did some measurements, I'd need a desk less than 3 feet wide to fit. Current desk is about 4 feet wide. So I could start off as 8x12 or just get a shorter desk. To do an 8x12 would be something like $90 more, and a 3ft desk is like $30. I could always use more desks, lol.
----------
And I want to think thru the temporary securement methods for the temporary sides that are subject to future expansion.
I'm thinking we have....
Screws (For securing 4x8s)
Brackets and screws (For securing studs)
I wonder if there's another cheaper method for temporarily securing studs?
--------------------------
I'm thinking that HEB chick encounter. It's interesting how she came across like this aggressive flirting/mean girl at first, then I dominated and raped her with my eyes, then she turned into this sweet little girly girl after that. Wow, you show those bitches whose boss, and they turn into girly girls all sweet just for you, lol. It's almost like they're saying "Thank you, daddy!", lol.
---------------------------
And came across someone's comment that their family was trying to hide his love from him. Interesting, I strongly suspect that's what happened to the HEB chick, confirming that she was underage like I've suspected. They've probably been dealing with the emotional aftermath of her attachment for who knows how long...
That comment also mentioned that her family moved to a different apartment.
And, interesting, that encounter happened at the first of the month which is typically when rent is due, so I wonder if her family lapsed on payment and was forced to move somewhere else? That first of the month just provides so much of a clue as to what could've potentially happened and why she might've been acting the way she was. Desperate and trying too hard.
And that could also provide context to her getting angry at my being an out-of-towner and taking a lumberjack job, when their out-of-work father is unable to make the rent payment. It's a consistent explanation... but it is making a lot of assumptions, lol.
-------------------
Been recently reading that people who live on streets with 10 or more trees live longer lives. Well, that should bode well for me, I'm surrounded by trees in this here forest! lol. And I'm purposely keeping the trees up in the front 50 feet for their look/feel.
--------------------
One of the things i'm noticing using coconuts for fat versus peanut butter, is that appetite for bananas is down /significantly/. I'm guessing that the body doesn't ordinarily effectively use the fat in peanut butter as well as coconut, which would agree with the high phytate content of peanuts (inhibits nutrient absorption) and the readily usable medium chain fatty acids in coconut. So, it looks like coconut is a winner - cheaper than peanuts, reduces the banana appetite and cost as well.
--------------------
Yeah, unbridled infectious happiness ensues.lol
---------------------
Yeah, exactly what my experience showed me. women love being dominated. And there's that 'woman, you need to know your place' thing I was thinking when she got all uppity, yeah, that came across I'm sure.
----------------------
An article is telling me that a girl will treat you badly on purpose to test your level of /something/ in the relationship (A high amount of this /something/ leading to her attraction/respect for you). The ideal, a strong man who enforces 'the rules' (Like don't disrepect me), is apparently the best thing.
I got the sense girls will "Step out of line", but actually abusing you directly through mechanisms like name-calling. hmmm...
That's just what I kind of wonder about her ending remarks. She called me a "complete stranger" at the very last moment of my walking out...
What the hell was she hoping I'd do? Come back and tell her to shut her trap? If she were name-calling me to test my disciplinary tendencies, she chose a really awkward time/place to test that (I'm not going to yell 'shut the frock up bitch' across the store, lol.). I would think if she's only misbehaving when you leave her presence with no reasonable expectation of returning right away... and not in front of you... that would probably indicate...cowardice on her part or... she hates you or somesuch. But, I didn't get the sense she hated me when I was leaving, lol, faaar from it. So... that does bring up the question of what exactly was her intent there? I do get the sense she was overtly flirting with the other guy, as suggested by https://www.themodernman.com/blog/my-girlfriend-flirts-with-other-guys.html, to inform me how interested other guys are in her(how desirable she was) to let me know that I could easily lose her in order to secure my commitment.
I was kind of getting the sense this girl might've been a headache, like a toddler constantly needing discipline, and it might explain why she's single, lol. I guess the ideal for someone like her is a guy who takes absolute joy in abusing her all the f'ing time. And it seems like there /are/ guys like that, yes... a number of jocks/players back in highschool seemed to be like that... constantly objectifying and derogatory towards women.
I wonder if this what one would call 'high maintenance', lol.
Anyway... that girl seemed strange... I don't know if I'm mistaking 'wearing her heart on her sleeve' with strangeness... but I just don't normally expect girls to act like that when they get a boyfriend. Like, so overly excited and yelling out to the top of the world how excited they are, lol. I was excited too, but not /that/ excited, lol. Despite the seeming strangeness, it definitely furthered my attraction to her, so I can't say it was 'useless' by any means, so maybe it wasn't so strange considering the effect.

Dietary summary for today: bananas, coconut, cocoa, a little bit of peanut butter, lol. And, wow do I feel awake tonight... makes me wanna go somewhere but the van just doesn't feel like a "cruising around town" kind of vehicle in this part of Houston, lol.
In this kind of mood, I could see myself visiting a bar.
------------------------------
Thinking back to that guy's entry "A girl super flirty with every guy is a ho wanting some dick", lol. Yeah, she seemed to be flirting with every guy. Then that smug smile suggesting she was thinking "I'm getting laid", lol, that just confirms it. But, why does she have to be so seductive? I guess that makes sense, successful whores are probably pretty good at making guys horny, but... oh... she just did not come across like an average whore. She seemed to be like any regular intelligent and playful girl, just happened to have some pretty effective "makes you want her" flirtation ability and skilled use of intonation to increase my interest.

No need to tell us, we all see it. People would assume that if they were told just a little about you.
Everybody knows I don't read PM's from a stalker/troll. He longs to be seen. He's so alienated everyone in real life, now he has ONLY the internet.
It's interesting reading posts like http://www.girlschase.com/content/nonverbal-attraction-and-getting-girls-without-words , where he says nonverbal is always more powerful than the verbal in the game of attraction (And, likely, in most social spheres).
I found that interesting, because the HEB chick turned into this loquacious energetic talker into this relatively silent "ok, let's go" kind of girl shortly after I was leaving and she following along for a few seconds and those moments were particularly powerful,silent and nonverbal. When she got frustrated she couldn't come along, she started huffing and puffing, then looked pensively into the distance [You could sense the sexual tension as she was looking into the distance, like she was wanting to consummate it right away.]. Those moments, her talking went down to pretty much nothing and it was almost entirely nonverbal.
So, when a girl becomes expressively nonverbal with your person, that can be a really good sgn. As opposed to silent/withdrawn.
Isn't this interesting?

It seems like we can replace 'marriage' with 'relationship', which suggests the same thing. Solidifying a relationship by the first sexual intercourse, makes me wonder if that was her intention, to solidify the relationship and thus her sense of urgency/importance she seemed to be putting on it. Seeing to my "I want to sex her as quickly as possible to bond her", it certainly seems like it was mine.lol
As to her, I don't really know if she would've been trying to bond me, because there's an open question as to her being a ho. She didn't come across like "your average ho" (She came across as verbally dominant, playfully aggressive and uninhibited, which I believe communicated "high value". Most ho's I've known were not verbally dominant and uninhibited, not a typical hallmarker of low self esteem.), but she was definitely skilled at creating sexual desire with her risque flirting.
----------------------
I will confirm that coconuts give you energy. My tiredness unmistakably converted to "alert awakeness" after eating only coconut and I'm feeling pretty full. But, it's an interesting sense of energy, not like typical "sugar high" kind of energy, just feeling awake,alert and active. I still believe the body benefits from fruit or starch vegetable consumption, because this banana tastes awfully good right now, so I believe coconut should be supplementary as opposed to trying to subsist off of it. I believe in the natural world and historically, starchy root vegetables were the goto carb of choice globally. Fruits mainly grow in warm weather (summer months and/or near the equator year round), whereas starchy root vegetables grow year round pretty much everywhere in the world.
----------------------
Man, there's a scene in a porn video I want to link to show you the gaze I gave the HEB chick. Sure enough, that scene turned me on, lol, no doubt it had a similar effect on the HEB chick. It's interesting to think infatuation=lust=getting turned on. I never really thought infatuation really meant that back in highschool when it was common, but it only makes way too much sense, lol.
-----------------------
Man, I love these lemons. I don't know how, but they seem to make me so happy and laughy, lol.

Learning a lot about hoes from looking at https://www.google.com/search?biw=1316&bih=732&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=hoes+be+like&oq=hoes+be+like&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0j0i67k1j0l2.427676.430054.0.430262.16.10.1.0.0.0.439.1538.2-4j0j1.5.0.dummy_maps_web_fallback...0...1.1.64.psy-ab..11.4.1023....0.na_9BPLysdU#imgrc=_
Google search: Hoes be like
Dang, either there's a lot of overlap between your everyday girl and hoes, or this girl was a hoe, lol.
This girl definitely reacted very positively to acts of affection like she's been missing it her entire life. But... I would think that's a normal thing? "Women need love" and all that.
This girl was /definitely/ horny. Are hoes normally pretty horny? It makes sense, but I'm not seeing much suggestion in google images of this plausibility.
----------------------
It's interesting to think I was like "I wanna sex her to bond her" and she's like "I wanna sex him because I want dick", lol.
Isn't it normally "I wanna sex her because i want pussy" and she's like "I wanna sex him because I think it'll establish our relationship"?
What is the implication. I have the sexual motives of the average woman, and she has the motives of the average male? lol... (I am making assumptions there. It's very possible we both have motives of the average female, which could be ideal... or might not be. I guess it might ultimately depend on the "why" behind my motive, i.e., "I need her". Or "I love her".)
The idea that nobody loved her does suggest something about her attention seeking, desperation and immense appreciation for acts of affection. So the idea of mine that "she seemed a little odd" might be pretty true. She definitely seemed slow to interpret things in real-time at times and she definitely seemed like she had some kind of attention deficit, agreeing with her energy/hyperactivity. But, despite all that, so lovable, lol. (Or,more likely, precisely because of that.)
------------------------
I told myself "I need to get a dog" and a rare wind blew through the forest as if confirming my strong suspicion. So, that's it, a sign from the heavens has solidified my resolve for a dog, probably right after I build the house and get a small yard fenced off.
Think I might go with 8x10 for the initial stage. 8x8 just seems a little bit too cramped. Then the next stage might be adding on another 8 feet, so 8x18. Then the expansion would be going to the left or something.

What is this oneitis?
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=oneitis
Google...
Getting hung up on a girl who has yet to reject/accept you. Huh, well I don't know if that's my issue exactly, as I definitely got past the 'rejection/acceptance' phase, and my issue is really a lack of attractive girls in my everyday encounters. They just don't really exist. I like white girls (Definitely no blacks) and I don't like fatties, and they need to be under the age of 30, which puts me at a distinct disadvantage in this particular part of Houston. I don't really know why the hell I'm not seeing them anywhere, whereas I encountered them all the time in Spokane.
The acceptance/rejection phase for me... hmmm...
Well...never was I asking to be accepted, per se. She did have the opportunity to reject me by averting her gaze or otherwise making a scene of some sort, but she didn't and so I'd guess 'acceptance' was the default, at least I would surmise that by the fact she was begging for my acceptance when I started rejecting her after the baby noises, and then when acceptance was granted, she acted all sorts of excited and happy and she just wanted to be with me and she was obviously feeling a significant compulsion to fudge me up good. So, I blasted well past that part, and almost instantly went straight for home base which wouldn't have been unlikely had the context/environment not been forbidding.
---------------------
Anyway, the emotional memory to that sexual tension highpoint, when she caught my gaze and held it (The first 5-10 seconds of the holding part seemed most crucial), vanished at the 2 month or so mark. It was a pretty distinct emotional memory that was quite pleasurable in recalling at certain times of the day. It's interesting that I can remember that I had such a feeling, but I can't seem to actively recall the explicit emotions involved at that particular point in time, the tension.
----------------------
It's interesting that I know that sex with a girl = she's bonded with you (My mom told me this). Multiple sources indicates this translates to "She loves you", lol. Not only from a guy's comment, but from the anecdote of this girl groupie who got laid by the hot drummer of some band passing thru (she and her friend got laid, and both apparently fell madly in love). It's interesting how my gaze was definitely sexual in nature after having seen it in that porn video, lol, and hearing that "i love you" intonation in her departing message. She was definitely strongly chemically addicted after that gaze, extreme limerance. So, it's interesting to think I already had that affect on her without actually having did the deed.
------------------------
Got the side fence put up. Didn't have a oint to secure the fence stretcher, so I hand tightened it section by section, which is good enough to look imposing, but wouldn't withstand a serious scaling attempt too well. Just need the back top two feet, then time to implement the gate. I want to get the gate done before housing construction in ten days so that the construction material is secured from casual thieves.
-------------------------
And, there appears to be a leak in the cooling system somewhere. Going to get some dye probably in two days when i go grocery shopping so i can identify the leak. I'm guessing the leak, assuming it's not headgasket failure (And coolant is either leaking into the oil or the combustion chamber; milky oil or excessive white exhaust being key indicators accordingly), developed when too much pressured developed in the radiator when it overheated due to the lovebug swarms pasted onto the radiator preventing proper cooling, so I'm thinking likely there's a leak in one of the hoses. Not a particularly easy vehicle to look around the radiator system, but i'm going to try.
---------------------------
Interesting seeing the comment about my controlling women (Like I know what that means?) and seeing this.
Oh, I see. Maybe hoes are my natural pairing, lol. [I really don't want to believe that. I'm still not entirely convinced that girl was a ho, but based on all of these images so far... she seems to be more ho-ish than the vast majority of girls I've met, lol.]
-----------------------------
Furthering my hoe education with this music video.
[youtube]JXRN_LkCa_o[/youtube]
Hoes tend to be broke.
Hoes get rich after messing with rich niggas.
Hoes ain't loyal.
I think the main reason why it was particularly difficult identifying her kind is that she wasn't wearing her chosen clothes, as she had her work uniform on. So, I'm surmising... she was a broke hoe (frizzy hair dude, can't afford hair products) who was going to miss the rent payment at the first of the month and she was looking for money. As to expecting loyalty, I shouldn't expect it.
It's a theory anyway. It's not a particularly strong one,but it would explain some oddities. Like getting cut off for not entirely obvious and completely unintuitive reasons. Loyal to the dollar is my best guess.
There was undeniably a strong connection, not the kind I'd normally expect between random rich nigga and random hoe, but she probably had other baser overriding objectives that'd explain her (apparent) unusual sudden change of heart at exactly the last moment.
It's interesting too, if her problem was purely the rent payment... I had a solution for her. But, she probably has other expenses... food, iphone 7, white pearly mustang, etc., lol.
It's questionable if she would've abandoned her ho-ish ways in that direction. I'd think it'd depend on the underlying motivation; there are those who seek riches and those who seek comfort. Those seeking riches or glamorous/opulent lifestyle wouldn't likely abandon them, those seeking comfort would probably want to abandon them if they're doing it simply because they wouldn't have comfort otherwise.
So that feeling I was describing..."I felt like I was in a steamy brothel or backalley",yeah,probably because this was a hoe looking for money, a brothel being their natural habitat.
The heart of stealing someone's bitch (What he's calling a hoe).
-------------------------
I started wondering, what is the natural pairing to a hoe? Showers her with love/affection, controls her, is rich...
I'm starting to wonder if it's a pimp, lol.
It's funny to think that random guys accusation as to my being a pimp is true, lol. I never really thought that was my natural role in life, lol.
It's interesting that... she did her pelvic thrust and huffed out, I then nuzzled her and wished her well ("see you later...*dramatic pause*... girl"), she whined as if she really really appreciated that [or did she whine that I was leaving her and this sexy time with it?], she started following me like we were going to go do something(it almost seemed like she was pulling me along), then she acted like she ran into a brick wall, got frustrated because she remembered she had to work, huffed and puffed... and stood there looking in the distance with that patent sexual frustration, lol.
Yeah, started to wondering about that. It almost seems like this girl was thinking "sex -> love" and she was wanting love... so she felt compelled to have sex right now, because she wanted to secure my love essentially. While I'm told that's often mistaken thinking with players (They lose interest and hit it and quit it), I don't think that would've been mistaken thinking with my person.
I found that interesting, because the HEB chick turned into this loquacious energetic talker into this relatively silent "ok, let's go" kind of girl shortly after I was leaving and she following along for a few seconds and those moments were particularly powerful,silent and nonverbal. When she got frustrated she couldn't come along, she started huffing and puffing, then looked pensively into the distance [You could sense the sexual tension as she was looking into the distance, like she was wanting to consummate it right away.]. Those moments, her talking went down to pretty much nothing and it was almost entirely nonverbal.
So, when a girl becomes expressively nonverbal with your person, that can be a really good sgn. As opposed to silent/withdrawn.
Isn't this interesting?

Learning a lot about hoes from looking at https://www.google.com/search?biw=1316&bih=732&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=hoes+be+like&oq=hoes+be+like&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0j0i67k1j0l2.427676.430054.0.430262.16.10.1.0.0.0.439.1538.2-4j0j1.5.0.dummy_maps_web_fallback...0...1.1.64.psy-ab..11.4.1023....0.na_9BPLysdU#imgrc=_

Dang, either there's a lot of overlap between your everyday girl and hoes, or this girl was a hoe, lol.
This girl definitely reacted very positively to acts of affection like she's been missing it her entire life. But... I would think that's a normal thing? "Women need love" and all that.
This girl was /definitely/ horny. Are hoes normally pretty horny? It makes sense, but I'm not seeing much suggestion in google images of this plausibility.
----------------------
It's interesting to think I was like "I wanna sex her to bond her" and she's like "I wanna sex him because I want dick", lol.
Isn't it normally "I wanna sex her because i want pussy" and she's like "I wanna sex him because I think it'll establish our relationship"?
What is the implication. I have the sexual motives of the average woman, and she has the motives of the average male? lol... (I am making assumptions there. It's very possible we both have motives of the average female, which could be ideal... or might not be. I guess it might ultimately depend on the "why" behind my motive, i.e., "I need her". Or "I love her".)
The idea that nobody loved her does suggest something about her attention seeking, desperation and immense appreciation for acts of affection. So the idea of mine that "she seemed a little odd" might be pretty true. She definitely seemed slow to interpret things in real-time at times and she definitely seemed like she had some kind of attention deficit, agreeing with her energy/hyperactivity. But, despite all that, so lovable, lol. (Or,more likely, precisely because of that.)
------------------------
I told myself "I need to get a dog" and a rare wind blew through the forest as if confirming my strong suspicion. So, that's it, a sign from the heavens has solidified my resolve for a dog, probably right after I build the house and get a small yard fenced off.
Think I might go with 8x10 for the initial stage. 8x8 just seems a little bit too cramped. Then the next stage might be adding on another 8 feet, so 8x18. Then the expansion would be going to the left or something.

What is this oneitis?
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=oneitis
Google...
Getting hung up on a girl who has yet to reject/accept you. Huh, well I don't know if that's my issue exactly, as I definitely got past the 'rejection/acceptance' phase, and my issue is really a lack of attractive girls in my everyday encounters. They just don't really exist. I like white girls (Definitely no blacks) and I don't like fatties, and they need to be under the age of 30, which puts me at a distinct disadvantage in this particular part of Houston. I don't really know why the hell I'm not seeing them anywhere, whereas I encountered them all the time in Spokane.
The acceptance/rejection phase for me... hmmm...
Well...never was I asking to be accepted, per se. She did have the opportunity to reject me by averting her gaze or otherwise making a scene of some sort, but she didn't and so I'd guess 'acceptance' was the default, at least I would surmise that by the fact she was begging for my acceptance when I started rejecting her after the baby noises, and then when acceptance was granted, she acted all sorts of excited and happy and she just wanted to be with me and she was obviously feeling a significant compulsion to fudge me up good. So, I blasted well past that part, and almost instantly went straight for home base which wouldn't have been unlikely had the context/environment not been forbidding.
---------------------
Anyway, the emotional memory to that sexual tension highpoint, when she caught my gaze and held it (The first 5-10 seconds of the holding part seemed most crucial), vanished at the 2 month or so mark. It was a pretty distinct emotional memory that was quite pleasurable in recalling at certain times of the day. It's interesting that I can remember that I had such a feeling, but I can't seem to actively recall the explicit emotions involved at that particular point in time, the tension.
----------------------
It's interesting that I know that sex with a girl = she's bonded with you (My mom told me this). Multiple sources indicates this translates to "She loves you", lol. Not only from a guy's comment, but from the anecdote of this girl groupie who got laid by the hot drummer of some band passing thru (she and her friend got laid, and both apparently fell madly in love). It's interesting how my gaze was definitely sexual in nature after having seen it in that porn video, lol, and hearing that "i love you" intonation in her departing message. She was definitely strongly chemically addicted after that gaze, extreme limerance. So, it's interesting to think I already had that affect on her without actually having did the deed.
------------------------
Got the side fence put up. Didn't have a oint to secure the fence stretcher, so I hand tightened it section by section, which is good enough to look imposing, but wouldn't withstand a serious scaling attempt too well. Just need the back top two feet, then time to implement the gate. I want to get the gate done before housing construction in ten days so that the construction material is secured from casual thieves.
-------------------------
And, there appears to be a leak in the cooling system somewhere. Going to get some dye probably in two days when i go grocery shopping so i can identify the leak. I'm guessing the leak, assuming it's not headgasket failure (And coolant is either leaking into the oil or the combustion chamber; milky oil or excessive white exhaust being key indicators accordingly), developed when too much pressured developed in the radiator when it overheated due to the lovebug swarms pasted onto the radiator preventing proper cooling, so I'm thinking likely there's a leak in one of the hoses. Not a particularly easy vehicle to look around the radiator system, but i'm going to try.
---------------------------
Interesting seeing the comment about my controlling women (Like I know what that means?) and seeing this.
Oh, I see. Maybe hoes are my natural pairing, lol. [I really don't want to believe that. I'm still not entirely convinced that girl was a ho, but based on all of these images so far... she seems to be more ho-ish than the vast majority of girls I've met, lol.]
-----------------------------
Furthering my hoe education with this music video.
[youtube]JXRN_LkCa_o[/youtube]
Hoes tend to be broke.
Hoes get rich after messing with rich niggas.
Hoes ain't loyal.
I think the main reason why it was particularly difficult identifying her kind is that she wasn't wearing her chosen clothes, as she had her work uniform on. So, I'm surmising... she was a broke hoe (frizzy hair dude, can't afford hair products) who was going to miss the rent payment at the first of the month and she was looking for money. As to expecting loyalty, I shouldn't expect it.
It's a theory anyway. It's not a particularly strong one,but it would explain some oddities. Like getting cut off for not entirely obvious and completely unintuitive reasons. Loyal to the dollar is my best guess.
There was undeniably a strong connection, not the kind I'd normally expect between random rich nigga and random hoe, but she probably had other baser overriding objectives that'd explain her (apparent) unusual sudden change of heart at exactly the last moment.
It's interesting too, if her problem was purely the rent payment... I had a solution for her. But, she probably has other expenses... food, iphone 7, white pearly mustang, etc., lol.
It's questionable if she would've abandoned her ho-ish ways in that direction. I'd think it'd depend on the underlying motivation; there are those who seek riches and those who seek comfort. Those seeking riches or glamorous/opulent lifestyle wouldn't likely abandon them, those seeking comfort would probably want to abandon them if they're doing it simply because they wouldn't have comfort otherwise.
So that feeling I was describing..."I felt like I was in a steamy brothel or backalley",yeah,probably because this was a hoe looking for money, a brothel being their natural habitat.
The heart of stealing someone's bitch (What he's calling a hoe).
-------------------------
I started wondering, what is the natural pairing to a hoe? Showers her with love/affection, controls her, is rich...
I'm starting to wonder if it's a pimp, lol.
It's funny to think that random guys accusation as to my being a pimp is true, lol. I never really thought that was my natural role in life, lol.
It's interesting that... she did her pelvic thrust and huffed out, I then nuzzled her and wished her well ("see you later...*dramatic pause*... girl"), she whined as if she really really appreciated that [or did she whine that I was leaving her and this sexy time with it?], she started following me like we were going to go do something(it almost seemed like she was pulling me along), then she acted like she ran into a brick wall, got frustrated because she remembered she had to work, huffed and puffed... and stood there looking in the distance with that patent sexual frustration, lol.
Yeah, started to wondering about that. It almost seems like this girl was thinking "sex -> love" and she was wanting love... so she felt compelled to have sex right now, because she wanted to secure my love essentially. While I'm told that's often mistaken thinking with players (They lose interest and hit it and quit it), I don't think that would've been mistaken thinking with my person.
I was hoping to get a second vehicle before a critical problem surfaced and I was just betting with my limited driving, none of such problems would've cropped up, but the stupid lovebugs appear to have caused overheating, overpressure and a leak somewhere in the coolant system and not immediately obvious where said leak is. I'm using this page for instructions: http://www.dummies.com/home-garden/car-repair/heating-cooling-system/how-to-find-leaks-in-your-vehicles-cooling-system/
I'm going to do said "check the vehicle for puddles" technique the next time I fill the coolant system back up, which will be the next trip probably tomorrow for groceries (And more coolant).

I started looking up this meaning of a girl pulling you along somewhere. Google is suggesting there's a common parlance word for this called "pull",so appropriate, lol, and apparently it means a person pulling you out to go have sex. Oh, what a naughty minx! Bad girl, bad girl, lol. I should've known she was trying to do that,lots of nonverbal theatrics going on suggesting that intention of hers. The thing is... I didn't really want to do anything, lol [I meant, nothing more than pushing her against the wall and kissing her like there's no tomorrrow, lol]. I just wanted to see where that would've led if I didn't hold myself back and sure enough, I found out: She's leading me out the door, lol. Thank goodness her job was keeping her back, dang girl... I like you... but I'm not hooking up with someone random girls on the spot, lol, I don't carry condoms on me, lol.
---------------------
So, where is the coolant going.
leak in the coolant system (put a wooden board under to find it), leaking into combustion chamber (->cat->exhaust), leaking into oil (milky oil)
It's kind of concerning me I don't see any huge leaks in the coolant system, and it seems that the little coolant I added seemed to have disappeared over a 20 mile ride.
If it's true that it's disappearing during operation, but not by standing there...
That might indicate a headgasket failure. Not confident in that, but seems like it.
So, I topped it off and I'm going to see if stays there over night. Then the next time I go out, I'll see if it disappears during the ride.

I like telling people to check their carpet. If the heater core is leaking, it will wind up inside the car. Depending on the van that can be easy to fix.
What people call "White smoke" is steam, that's your coolant. No puddle from that. How FAST are you losing coolant? What will you do if it's a freeze plug? Other things you can't reach or casually correct?
More to the point, what is the future of this vehicle if you have a leaking heat gasket? Assuming you do this right I've seen people getting their seriously defeated car back on the road for more than 40,000 miles when I do this. But personally I say this is only for the car you don't want to rebuild the engine and keep. If you don't want to rebuild the transmission in the next year or two, if you don't want to do any real work in the steering/front suspension, etc. But I don't know how big a mess this stuff would create for someone rebuilding the engine, so if you have such longterm plans for it then don't do it. This is just an example of a car I'm not sure I'd want to do this, I'm sure this car can stay on the road a long time if fixed right. https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/d/2002-toyota-camry-needs-head/6314513497.html
When they do sand casting of iron and steel the sodium silicate gets stronger as it gets hotter, I believe that's the only thing that does. Plus there's a reaction to coolant that further strengthens it. You FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS, I've seen people screw this up and oh gawd. But you're going to flush the cooling system and get it cleaned of coolant and then run it for the specified time with the stuff in there and let it cool before you drain it. I've seen it work every time when it's done right. BUT DON'T JUST DUMP IT IN WITH YOUR COOLANT! Read the instructions.
Other things might work, this is the one I've seen work. https://www.walmart.com/ip/K-W-Permanent-Metallic-Block-Seal-Head-Gasket-Repair-16-Weight-oz/16767859?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=1122&adid=22222222227027725176&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=159396666639&wl4=pla-256142693270&wl5=9031148&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=101593696&wl11=online&wl12=16767859&wl13=&veh=sem
Looked around and it looks like there's wetness coming down the transfer case. Don't know if that's normal,lol. I put a large piece of wood under the transfer case to catch any drippings, doesn't look like there's leaking inside the compartment.
I don't know how fast I'm losing coolant, but it looks like maybe 2-3 cups an hour sitting there. I'll know for sure by tomorrow morning (i.e., if it's completely empty just sitting there, lol, because I filled that thing full this afternoon.).
----------------
Okay, took a closer look at the underside of the vehicle after a short drive and it seems like there's been a bit of coolant loss. It appears there's a bit of leaking near the bottom of the minivan's engine along what I assume is some kind of gasket (It's where the bottom part of the engine is bolted into the top part of the engine). I'm not sure if it's the valve gasket or the headgasket. It's around the entire bottom side of the engine,so I think it's probably the headgasket?
It's interesting that the coolant is leaking outside the engine as opposed to into the combustion chamber and/or oil. seems like a plausible headgasket failure mode, just not something I had anticipated. Dauntless, what would you recommend? lol. The same as before?
This particular kind of headgasket failure doesn't seem like it's particularly critical or progressive other than the constant rate of coolant loss during operation. Over a longdrive, if not topped up, this could obviously become a problem. It appears to lose the coolant during operation and not while sitting. It appears the low coolant loss rate evaporates on the hot engine's casing, so thus the lack of dripping.
It almost appears if I put silicone sealant or epoxy along the bottom of engine where it mates with the top part, it'd hold in the coolant and stop the leaking. Seems like it'd be advantageous to pinpoint the exact site of leaking... might just turn on the engine tomorrow and see what I can find.

Silicone sealant absolutely will not stop a leak or do anything good. Don't expect epoxy to do the job.
Head gaskets are up around the top. I don't remember, is this a V8? What make? I'd want to look at illustrations I could find online to start guessing, even. I hate to say "Usually," as I'm not a professional mechanic who sees what's usual, but I don't think of a leaking head gasket leaking on the outside of the engine. Is your oil brown and milky? That's a head gasket type leak that does it.
If there's a cooling line loose or with a hole in it, there's coolant coming out under pressure. There's one low and one high, both at the front of engine. With the coolant full and the cap on you squeeze those hoses and sometimes you force coolant out of the leak and you can see where it's coming from, especially if that line is the leak either from the hose itself or a loose connection. There's also the heater lines, also two that may be low or high but they're really in hard to reach places. It could come from and go anywhere. The radiator can spray onto the block. There's the thermostat coupling, which can leak and it'll run down. There's bound to be a disk on either side of your block called a freeze plug that could leak. Might the OBD II in your engine have a sensor that reaches into the coolant and could leak? You have a problem trying to identify where a leak REALLY came from. As in if it's blowing the coolant back into the overflow and it runs down from there it might run off well away from the reservoir. If the cap is bad or if there is a bad head gasket that's NOT letting the oil turn brown or causing steam it can run the coolant back into the reservoir. Sometimes you also have a little something called a "Weep Hole." Don't ask we why, but it's designed to give up a little leak here and there, coolant, gas, whatever. Hard to figure.
You can rent a pressure tester from certain places but I'm watching a socalled mechanic on youtube who doesn't hear that the hissing of his bad connection is the cause of his pressure loss, so maybe I shouldn't recommend that. And if you take the radiator cap off after it say awhile put a rag over it, you don't want to be sprayed if it's hot and it can stay hot for quite awhile. Another video I don't want to show you, some of these youtube people are scary, not just for the hazard but they make these because they think they know what they're doing.
Is there steam in the exhaust when the radiator is full? That can come and go. Does it leak faster with the radiator cap off than with it on? Faster with the engine off or on? Not that an expert frets over what I'm trying to get you to look at, I just need a way to get you to identify things, you know?
Among the problems hanging over you is just how ready you really are to crawl underneath and stick your head and hands in there. Or do you have a cap inside the cab that you can remove? Often easier. The stuff I mentioned might fix this, but I'd think a hose problem is less likely to go away this way. That stuff is for the so hard and so expensive to deal with problem on a car not worth spending money on.

Okay,this is where the wetness seems to be coming from, and from this diagram, it looks like the oil pan gasket, lol. I'm guessing this isn't alarming? Unless the coolant is collecting ontop of the oil and seeping out the oil pan gasket,hmmm...
Is there a way to test the oil for coolant? It's hard to tell with this full synthetic oil using the dipstick, since the oil is light colored just like the coolant.I don't have the benefit of checking the back of the oil cap, because it's a "long oil tube".
It almost seems like replacing the oil and measuring the amountof oil removed would be faster than a lab test, but I would rather avoid an oil change if that isn't the problem.
I guess hypothetically, if I could collect a sample of the oil in a test tube, i could let it sit and there'd be separation if there was coolant. But, that does assume it's "mixed", and I would think the coolant would settle at the bottom?(oil floats ontop of water)
The fluid on the dipstick appears "clear" instead of "opaque". And it's light brown.
okay, looks like I can use the blotter test on regular white paper. http://www.machinerylubrication.com/Read/499/blotter-spot-method
---------------------------------
It doesn't appear like it's losing coolant at rest, but it /appears/ I'm losing coolant during operation.
I'm going to continue using the vehicle and seeing if I need to keep adding gallons upon gallons to it. I would think there'd be a definite indication of a problem after adding 2 gallons since the entire radiator is supposed to be 5 quarts. I so far have added 1 entire gallon in total, so I guess it's plausible I hadn't added enough initially if essentially the entire thing was empty / boiled away.
So it's plausible I'm not losing coolant, just didn't yet add enough.

Coolant in the oil looks like a white milk shake. To find a coolant leak. First clean all around area where leak is coming from. Clean it real good. Add more coolant. Water is OK if you are on a low budget and in a area without freezing temperatures. Fill radiator all the way. Also fill the overfill bottle to the cold line. DO NOT start or drive vehicle without correct amount of coolant and oil. If coolant is not leaking with engine cold? Start it and let it warm up till it is hot. Engine will get hot faster if you go for a ride. With engine hot, coolant will be under pressure and you should be able to see where it is leaking from if you crawl under. Take a picture of where coolant is leaking. Careful if under a vehicle with the engine running. Use wheel chocks, bricks, wood, or whatever ya got.
If you do use straight water for testing? After fixing leak, drain cooling system and fill with whatever the owners manual calls for? Usually mixture of 1/2 antifreeze and 1/2 water.
Hows the shower?

The quickest test for the oil? There's the dipstick, I assume you're familiar with that. Pull it out and look at it. If it's not normal looking, there's coolant getting into the oil. I'm not familiar with synthetic oil being "Light colored." Seems the same as nonsynthetic on my cars. Once it's in there a bit it's black. Once there's coolant getting in there it starts off brown and gets closer and closer to white.
Sounds like it's in the oil. There is such a thing as "Clear," it means you need an oil change to put it mildly. I understand that's the separated varnish. The oil is failing, as heat will cause it to do. I've seen the clear come out of an engine that has sat for years without running or an oil change. Formula one has clear lubricants made from mixing natural gases together to form a liquid. I doubt you have anything like that in there.
I don't think that blotter test is relevant. If you insist on a "Test," you can get some sort of skillet heated to maybe 325 and put a little of the oil on it. If there's water it'll crackle the same as if you heat the cook pot before you pour water in. Oil would require a hotter temperature to do that. If there's only a little bit of water mixed in you might get some little bubbles as it expands. I'm not sure about the difference if there's antifreeze in there, it shouldn't affect it. But water reacts the opposite from when it's in gas and separates, oil it just mixes in.
So answer these questions:
How's the transmission?
How's the steering/front suspension?
How's the rear end?
Let's say it was going to cost $15k to rebuild/replace all of these, over time. depends on the vehicle, but I'd say 35-40% would go for the engine, 35-40% for the transmission, the rest for the other two. Then you have a mechanically new car or van even if the body and interior are disasterously used up. Would you be ready to invest all this in the van in question? What if it was $20k?
It is sounding as though you need to deal with the engine either temporarily (Block seal) or permanently. (Rebuild/replace) I'm guessing you need to decide quickly which you will do, as if you keep driving it with water in the oil it becomes likely to seize, to throw a rod, etc. First you spend a few hundred towing it home, then a few hundred more towing it to a shop, etc. Right now you can just drive it to the shop.
If you want to use the block seal you have to let the engine run awhile with it in the cooling system and I'm not sure I'd want you taking the chance on that bad oil, even if you put a quart or two of fresh oil in there with it. If it's not as bad as you make it sound it might be okay. But only use the block seal if you don't want to invest money in this thing. It will create a little shell in the cooling system, some will seep through leaks and harden there, etc. It's a miracle worker on a junk engine, but not a good thing once someone decides to rebuild that engine later.
If you do use the block seal, FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. I see someone pour the stuff straight into the radiator in the parking lot at the auto part store and I try to stop him. But people don't care about the right way to do it, they just want an easy way out. So the is doomed to have it really overheat in the next few days and that'll be it.
Let me play out a theoretical car I might have someone ask for help with, I've been through this and been through this with people from film/tv and acting with the parttime work who are so convinced if they can just hang onto this 1998 Toyota Tercel a few more months, maybe a year, then everything will be fine. Somehow. But this is the car just a few months ago was having the transmission trouble and I figured out the fluid was low. With it full the owner says it's better. At least a little.
And he doesn't want to spend a few thousand for the engine, a few thousand for the transmission, etc. on the old beast. Wouldn't be worth it. Dang, there's a check engine light, he won't get through the smog test to renew the registration. This is a candidate for the block seal. After thorough flushing to get ALL the glycol out you can fill the cooling system with this and water and run it for the time specified. At idle, don't drive it around. Once that's flushed out you want an oil change, get rid of the contamination. If that transmission holds up there could be 40,000 miles or more ahead.
But I'd feel better about telling you to do ANYTHING if I was really sure what was going on there. I haven't known people to succeed getting good pictures underneath. It could be your water pump leaking and letting it run along the oil pan.
You think he's using the drips from the radiator?

Looks opaque, not clear.
What does full synthetic look like?
Clear and lightbrown, just like what I saw on the dipstick.
It's possible I was freaking out about nothing. But,it's also very possible there could be a blown headgasket causing coolant leaking since the engine did overheat a tiny bit for a little while, I'm just really hoping that's not the case. lol
J was having the symptoms of nocturnal panic attacks the last 2 days, so it's possible I'm panicking over nothing much (making mountains out of molehills). [Of course,it's also possible to panic over nightmares, lol]
I do have a history of that, seeking out and interpreting the littlest signs as symptomatic of significant impending end-of-life problems, and it just takes something out of the norm, like an emergency situation (overheating, near 90% loss of coolant), to stoke the imagination and get the ball rolling, lol.
Of course, it's not to hard to believe that it never stopped losing coolant. I thought it was losing coolant via the top radiator pipe that was leaking when it overheating (Could see the dripping when parked on the pavement), but I suppose there could've be some kind of headgasket leak I didn't notice.
--------------------------
The heb chick, I suspect she might've been a young adult transient coming of age. I see plausible overlap in terms of behavior. It's just doesn't seem like it's as easy to 'fall through the cracks' here as it is in high-rent/high-young-adult-and-old-adult-unemployment places, but I suppose some might be destined for it if they have that work-shunning attitude and could be at higher risk with bad expense management (overspending, missed rent payment, evicted). And the higher need for a car as opposed to inner west coast cities (i.e., need a vehicle to access paying jobs) would present a higher 'barrier of entry' for young adults if they don't already own a vehicle which I'm assuming many don't, a barrier of entry that could plausibly lock one out of the job markets.
So I see her tremendous desire to sex me right away might've been rooted in that. It's just hard to imagine any kind of gaze would have that kind of affect on its own, though that would be nice to believe. [It's not especially hard to believe, some kind of mechanism has to keep the population going, lol]
If she was in that kind of despair, she could've told me and I might've been able to accommodate but I guess she didn't feel comfortable disclosing it then/there. I wasn't aware of this trend before, but I've become more aware of it since Hurricane Harvey [Young adult females looking for residence]. Seems like desperate/pushy flirting or related signals are the tell-tale sign.
I know if this vehicle were to go immediately south, there's no way I could commute to work anywhere other than my internet work. The more immediate concern would be food. I'm steps away from getting drinking water on site with the well and I can hypothetically do fuel deliveries with my bike, and I can hypothetically order in generators online, and the local convenience stores have various common necessities, but food is an issue. Fresh produce isn't an option here, this place is something of a "food desert", with convenience store food comprising the list.I would be absolutely dependent on my garden for fresh produce, lol.
Property improvements, like a bedroom, would also come to a halt, no way to retrieve supplies.
Gardening would be harder to get started, but there's plenty of online options for seeds and little tools I need and what not.
It would be better to have that already established before the vehicle goes down,yes, lol. Maybe I should make those items (gardening in particular) a higher priority.

It doesn't make any difference what kind of oil you use. It will not look like it came out of the container after a few miles.
A brand new engine will stay clean for a few oil changes but will get dirty after time. So is the oil full or over full? As Dauntless said is it milky brown, kinda white. I really don't understand why you always question what others post when they are trying to help.
I still question as to who and what you really are. You don't answer most questions, you are always posting links or copies of the page you have looked up.
Do you really have a MINI VAN or a little red wagon? Is it a 4 or 6 cyl? Does it have A/C? If so did you clean the radiator or the condensing coil? Any leaks from the hose from the radiator to the over flow tank is also a problem. Check the top radiator hose, first hose to start leaking. I\m not a Sheldon as you think you are, I'm just a retired auto mechanic, certified. All that Daunless said is where to start, he has suggested what you should be doing, IF you do have leaks.
Oh well, back to the HEB chick. She appears to be the main ??? in the thread now.

Ok, the vehicle has been sitting a full day.
There appears to be a bit of liquid on the wood board underneath engine; the right side of the engine looks wet (This is the side where the radiator tubes seem to connect). Not just a two or three drops, but looks like maybe the result of 30-100 drops or so. The coolant level looks a little down, but not significantly.
So, the evidence is looking like it's leaking from somewhere on the right side of the engine. I'm guessing it probably was leaking more when I stopped the van, because the coolant was hot & under pressure and likely took an hour or two to cool down.
Anyway, this is potentially reassuring; might be imminently fixable and likely not a headgasket problem. The leak probably was introduced under high steam pressure when the engine was overheating with the lovebugs clogging the radiator.
I'm going to still check the oil stick when I drive to the post office today; if there is coolant in the oil, it might need to mixed by the crankshaft to create that opaque "chocolate milk" look, otherwise, it might separate into separate layers.
Appears I'll need to lift the front to check the radiator line connections to the engine. Maybe, maybe not. It's cramped, hard to see from the hood.
Man, this vehicle was making me panicky and feeling insecure. I definitely see the need for a second vehicle, I've already had like 3 show-stopping or near-show-stopping problems this year with it. (clogged fuel filter, tire shredded to bits, and now this.)

I'm definitely reading, and I need to see visuals to know what I'm looking at for comparison. This is why I look it up, to see what it is I should be looking for. ("milky" isn't immediately obvious like pictures of chocolate milk is)
And, the diagnostics, those aren't particularly easy on this minivan, the engine compartment is scrunched up. That's why I haven't done it yet, don't exactly know how I'm supposed to get access to the areas I need to and I don't feel like standing outside with the mosquitos trying to figure it out, lol. If I had an airconditioned garage that kept the mosquitos out or similar, I'm pretty sure I'd be looking around by now.
minivan, 6 cylinders I believe. A/C looks disconnected and non-operational. Check top radiator hose where it connects to radiator, and check it where it to connects to the engine block. I believe the latter is likely leaking judging from the puddle location, and I can't see it, lol. Hidden by tubes,wires and all sorts of crap.
Experience is good, believe it's more valuable than sheldonism in the car scene(the only thing I think of when I hear that is "autism" and "pretentious know-it-all", neither of which seem like a pleasant label,lol) I'm hoping to get lots of experience with cars over time, and boy, this minivan has been one mean teacher,lol.

Sometimes you can remove things like air cleaner plastic stuff to get a better view of the coolant leak that you are looking for. Do you have a jack and jack stands? If no? Buy some.
alumaseal to the rescue.

Thanks for reminding me, I remember doing that for the ECG valve, lol.
Anyway, drove the van so the antifreeze went upto 170F or whatever(hot),checked the oil stick and the oil looked like a darker brown than I I remember but still clear. I think that's a good sign?
i definitely seem to be losing coolant (Lost about 3 cups according to the hot line over the last 40-50 miles or so.), so will see what I can get access to one of these days. It's getting cooler, so might be able to do it anytime of the day soon enough.
---------
Took a closer look and I think I'm look at this skinny metal tube attaching to the top right of the radiator and I'm trying to follow it, right (Suspect in question)? It's not the large (rubber?) hose as that's the vacuum line, is that right?
It's raining today so I think I'll be getting the van on jack/blocks tomorrow and slide underneath. Looks like I'll need to look underneath to see where that skinny metal tube connects.

Learning a lot of how these things work.
Yes, I do have a radiator core because the heater does work. A/C,however, does not.
But, it seems like the leaking is on the right side of the engine. Seeing some piddling there.
Looks like the big rubber hose is the actual thing that carries the radiator fluid. So, I should be following that and not the thin metal tube.
I just realized after seeing this image, this was the EXACT eyes I gave that girl, bedroom eyes. The important features, head tilted down, steady glare, and shoulder tilted as shown. I totally didn't mention that rotated shoulder aspect before, but seeing this image definitely reminded me, lol.
This threw her into a state of trance. With the nuzzling I did, I almost felt like an exceedingly normal person I never knew before, lol.
It's funny how I can't help but feel like gazing back for long periods of time at this picture, lol, exactly what the HEB chick did. It seems pretty easy to see how she fell in love, though I don't understand it intellectually.

Skinny metal tube sounds like ac, turbo ducting, etc. Not usually cooling system.
You just don't get it about the chocolate milk thingee. If the coolant leaks into the cylinder, some will evaporate and go out the exhaust. Some will drain down the cylinder walls and drip into the oil sump. While the engine is running I don't know how long it takes to pump one quart of oil from the sump to the pathways, how long it takes to put the capacity, etc. But you make a quick drive to the store and back and it's all run through there several times. So the power mixing of the oil and water is quick. There's frothing, etc. while the engine is running.
Three cups of coolant. How much would have evaporated? Hard to say. Probably not so much in the oil just yet. If you drained the whole thing and looked at it, you'd probably not think it looked so bad. But Dan would look at it and say "Oh, yeah, this is real bad." So if you do get the leak fixed and it should be fine, do keep an eye on your oil, what you described before didn't sound good. Even for a little red wagon.
I wonder if this one ever worked at H.E.B.

It's possible, they seem to employ all the highschool females during the summer, lol.
Okay, this is what I'll be looking out for. So far, haven't seen any color inconsistency like shown; either solidly light brown or solidly slightly darker brown after driving it 5 miles.
And, some more pics useful for identification.

Insightful post. Been seeing this, both on craigslist with a girl every so often claiming "You waited too long, you schnooze you lose", and just the fact when I moved so quickly on that girl, she felt a very strong compulsion to finish it /RIGHT NOW/ and she was frustrated that she couldn't which seemed strange to me (At the time, I kind of thought it was because she was a slut, lol. Sleeping with relatively random men on a sudden whim.). Certainly, the sudden feeling of lust did feel like a strong, transient feeling that would soon escape had I not acted on it, and I get the sense the dominant male that doesn't hold himself back from getting exactly what he wants will go directly for what he wants as fast as possible, which according to this guy's post, is exactly how it's supposed to work.
So that guy who lamented "Why can't love be as sudden as it feels?", probably because he was a pussy and not relentlessly directly going for the end-goal while the iron was hot. So, yep, after first building attraction (she's flirting with you is a good sign), "move fast" and "strike while the iron is hot" seems especially true with girls.
On another note, this guy seems to have a thing for non-white girls, particularly asians and south americans. I might be presuming too much, I wonder if this white guy avoids white girls and why? Is he not attracted to them? Finds them more difficult? Less available? Doesn't feel he's "worthy" of them?
[So my 'need to f her as soon as possible to bond her' probably isn't off the mark. If you don't, it's soon gone, if you do, they soon love you and stick around... /I guess/... probably just generally true, I'm sure there's many exceptions.]
It's kind of interesting, too. Shortly after the acceptance and her pelvic thrust, she just stood there waiting for my reaction. i just nuzzled her and said goodbye, and she acted that's not quite what she was wanting... lol... I kind of get this impression she turned into this complacent doll I was just supposed to have my way with but... lol... she went onto show me what she was wanting by, at the same time I was actually leaving, suggestively pretending like she was "taking my hand" and leading me out somewhere ("yeah,yeah,yeah...come on, let's go this way" she mumbled), huffing and puffing,and looking into the distance sexually frustrated, lol. That girl was so playful and amusing,I apparently chose the right girl to make a move on, lol. (She didn't actually appear that humorous until that particular moment)

[So my 'need to f her as soon as possible to bond her' probably isn't off the mark. If you don't, it's soon gone, if you do, they soon love you and stick around... /I guess/... probably just generally true, I'm sure there's many exceptions.]
It's kind of interesting, too. Shortly after the acceptance and her pelvic thrust, she just stood there waiting for my reaction. i just nuzzled her and said goodbye, and she acted that's not quite what she was wanting... lol... I kind of get this impression she turned into this complacent doll I was just supposed to have my way with but... lol... she went onto show me what she was wanting by, at the same time I was actually leaving, suggestively pretending like she was "taking my hand" and leading me out somewhere ("yeah,yeah,yeah...come on, let's go this way" she mumbled), huffing and puffing,and looking into the distance sexually frustrated, lol. That girl was so playful and amusing,I apparently chose the right girl to make a move on, lol. (She didn't actually appear that humorous until that particular moment)

Got me one of these off of ebay. I justified the expense by the fact that I'll be likely using it on any future vehicles I intend on purchasing, in addition to fixing this one. In the mean time, I'll try to minimize driving and add coolant as needed.
It can purportedly test for coolant system leaks and broken headgaskets (A broken headgasket is one of the biggest worries with a used vehicle). Accessing the sparkplugs on the engine on the minivan is tough,though, probably won't identify the particular affected cylinder in case of broken headgasket.
Looks like I might be delaying housing construction if this minivan will take 1.5 weeks to fix.
I think this will be my protocol for testing used cars (the first 4 steps to check engine health):
1) Before starting the vehicle, Is the engine hot? Caution, especially if it doesn't appear like it was driven over. Might have issues when the engine is cold (like my van, dirty ECG valve).
2) Pressure test the coolant system, vehicle should be cold before testing, lol.
*start the vehicle,go for a test drive*
3) Check the oil cap and oil stick for coolant evidence. Any steam out of the tailpipe? Could indicate a broken headgasket.
4) Investigate coolant, exercise caution if brown or ruddish. Could indicate oil mixing, radiator rusting or excessively old coolant.
Then the standard stuff, test steering, highway driving, acceleration, operation at high power (Accelerating up a steep hill), lights, wipers, windows, doors and rear hatch, etc.

If it takes you that long to fix it, that explains why that forest land isn't developed yet.
Why do you keep talking about doing her? Just go and do it! I'll be dead and gone by the time anything here ever gets done.
