I have a 2001 Ford Explorer and I love it, but I had a recall that had to be fixed,, now some of you might have heard about this one,, it is where the car could go up in flames even if not running or any thing,, so I finally took it to get the recall fixed,, what I joke,, the fix was to unplug/disconnect my cruise control, tape the part with some electrical tape and send me on my way!!  I ask the guy at the dealership, where I took it to get it FIXED by a genuine ford repair person,, what kind of fix is this,, he said thats all we can do for you,, the part to fix it is not available, and is not being made any more,,so this is all we can do to keep you car from burning up,  And he laughed and walked back into his office, to file the paper work that my recall had been FIXED!! and now ford is no longer liable, and now I have no cruise control on my car which of course you pay alot extra just to have, and I drive 50 miles one way to work everyday, and used that cruise control everyday,, I think ford sucks for this, and I don't know anywhere to write to them to complain, well I know one thing if I get a speeding ticket, because I don't have my cruise control,, I think I will send it to the FORD company to pay! Everyone should BEWARE OF FORD AND THEIR RECALL  "FIXES"!!!!!

I just would like to tell everyone about a great company, Cannon, They were great to me.  I had a camera that I have had for years,, and it quit working. I went on their web site and found that my camera had a record of problems and the company said that it was due to some parts in it, so they said they would have me send it to them free of charge and if it was what they thougt it would be free of charge to fix it also, no mind you it was more than 4 years old, I thought "right they will something wrong that will cost more than the camera", No, they did not do that, they kept me updated on their progress and what they found, and all they found was the part defects, then they let me know it was on the way back to me,, in about a week,, But when I opened it,, I found a letter that said that it would have taken too long to fix my camera because of its age so, They sent me a new camera,, well refurbished,, but better than my old one and with all the parts that go with a new camera,, It was awsome, a company that stands behind its products, and takes care of you even after all these years that I owed it!! Cannon is a great company in my book and I just wanted everyone to know what is was like to have a company stand behind camera and take care of their customers when they found out it was a part defect, even after 4 years and the warrenty was way over!!  I hope my camera last forever,, but if it doesn't I will be buying another Cannon product for sure!!

I can not believe that they cut Paris Hilton's jail sentence in half for good behavior,,, hello, she is going to jail because she violated her probation!! Was her good behavior that she did not kill someone when she was caught driving drunk? Or was it ok because she was wearing the correct shoes to match her outfit? and the drunken party princess gets a private cell,, so she does not have to mix with the regular criminals,, and she is in some ways worse than she is,, except of course she is rich,, and her mommy and daddy are rich,, so, well I guess that would show again,, money does change the laws, the rules and the punishments, no matter the crime,,Hopefully next time she is out drinking,doing drugs and driving,,, she won't kill someone, of course shewould probably only get a few weeks for that in the hotel jail.

I love NASCAR, it is fun to watch and alot of my friends watch too,, we all get to gether and have a great time watching it.

I am writing about something that has been bothering me alot, well and it has affected my family recently and I wonder if any one may have a suggestion.. When some one has a felony on their record,,done their time for their crime,, and it was when they were stupid and young, how do they get a job. No one wants to hire a person with a felony,, no mater what it was for,,no matter what the degree it was,,and that person now has a family to support and care for but can not find a job,, well he had one delivering pizzas, but that hardly paid to keep the lights on in their house, much less the rent, and my Daughter works full time and has to pay day care and everything else, only making alittle over minimum wage, and they have 2 children, and no one will hire a felon. I just do not get, you do a crime you do the crime,, but you pay for the rest of your life, in more ways than one. I know that I am not the only one with a family member in the situation, I have a good friend who's son is in the boat, made a big mistake when he was just 18, and is a felon and can not find a job to help support his daughter. I do not know that there is anything that will ever change this but I just had to blow off steammmm, it really gets on my last nerve to see my daughter struggle so hard and go without so much, and her boyfriend try so hard and get no where. He is not the stupid did who screwed up,, and all he needs is a chance.. where do people go to get that???????
