I have a 2002 Lancer sedan and would like to get something newer and reliable. I'm retired and mostly do local driving and have a Dodge Caravan if we travel. I need some suggestions for the less expensive makes. I was thinking Honda or Hundai.
Judy2/CAWe have a 2003 Elantra that we love. We have never had a problem with it. Also a 2001 Civic. Love both cars but when we buy a new car in a few months it will be another Elantra.

The police officer who came to take the report said thieves smooth down the edges of keys and can open doors/start cars that way. DANG!

105 minute walk for me today. Lovely sunny warm day. Best part: I still had exercise clothes on when the health aide got here and she said I looked skinny. Of course my tank was a slimming black. :)
I gave up my beloved Fitbit because my walking sticks were confusing it. I'm trying to keep track of exercise duration now. Today I took a long local walk, 2 hours.
Fortunately I'm at goal weight so each step isn't as critical, but I'm logging My Fitness Pal daily to keep myself honest--I'm a food cheater.
I walked around the reservoir in very very light sprinkles. Actually, they're doing work (I think removing storm-damaged trees) so half was closed. I walked halfway and back again. I really enjoyed the exercise today.
We finished the exterior of the house today. It's a lovely royal/navy/blue house with white trim. Very pretty. Now, we have a month off while skilled laborers do plumbing, dry wall, etc. Whew. Today was hot a windy, a fine way to end the session.
Then, off to help serve a funeral dinner at church.
Can you guess--no formal exercise, so I only got 1/2 my steps, but I was on my feet a great deal. Now, we babysit for 4 days, and it's supposed to rain often, so my trainer/7-year-old grandson won't likely crack the whip to rack up steps on Gram's pedometer. Oh, well, credit for smiling and laughing muscles.
Please do visit my shop entitled, silvestertim on the TES website for a wealth of resources, including teaching pedagogy, a huge range of homework and GCSE revision papers, worksheets and assessments. Highly recommended by other teachers who have "made these resources a huge part" of their scheme of learning.
I agree wi...See MoreI came across this post in the discipline section.. any teachers have any information on this.. I knew they still paddled in Texas... but to do it bare bottomed and to 16, 17 and 18 year old young adults... Can't really be happening..
