Violence is NOT the answer. But I must hand it to you - very creative. What are you, an artist? The co-worker offered to pay for the damage. Initially I didn't know what to do, but the more I thought about it (especially since she lit up after being asked not to), I gladly accepted her...

Eleni often drives my car as she's very responsible, but this morning she drove the MX-5 to work with a co-worker who had a cigarette which fell onto the seat, burning a hole into the leather. It's not too noticeable, but knowing that it's there bothers me. And besides, it's a new car. What...

Hooray! Our Polish friends have been cooperating ever since I had the chat with them. Thanks for all of the suggestions (some of which were hilarious), (rlaugh) but in this case good, clear communication did the trick.

We haven't discussed it in detail, but I definitely think she'd prefer that it was just she and I without people around. Eleni is somewhat reserved and doesn't feel comfortable being the center of attention. I respect this, so I'd like to do something more personal where it's just the two of...

Thanks man, I appreciate it. We're leaving for NYC this Friday and will be staying for the entire weekend. My plan is this: to first speak with her parents WITH Eleni, and then to speak with her parents W/OUT Eleni. I'm going to ask her father for her hand in marriage, so I obviously don't...

I've been using Meguiar's to wash my car for the last umpteen years and really like the way it cleans and makes my car shine (sun). Is there anything else out there that's better and/or more effective? If so, what is it and where can I find it? Thanks.

I know; it sickens me too. If they were younger, it wouldn't of been so bad. It made me think of my folks, as they are also in their early 50's. The good news is that they were quiet last evening - let's just hope this lasts. They're from Poland with heavy accents, but I'm pretty sure they...

Thanks. I'll be flying up to NYC on the 20th of this month to [hopefully] resolve this with Eleni's folks.

Update... It's been going on every night since I posted the thread, and their volume has increased with each passing minute. I just went over there to speak to them in person. Eleni wanted to come along as a support, but I told her it would be best to not get involved so they couldn't hold...

Agreed. Great quality car that's reliable - just read the Consumer Reports. Toyota is considered to be one of the best, if not THE best. Keep up with the oil changes and she'll be good to go for a long time (but you already knew this). (blah)

Great attitude, Dimitrios. I feel your pain and know your frustration. I was an engineer prior to becoming an attorney, but a situation presented itself a few years ago which motivated me to help put away people like "drunk." Although I won't go into detail, I will certainly share my...

I'm paying an arm 'n' a leg for this place; you'd think the insulation would be better. It probably is good, but they're just too loud. As for getting the police involved, I'd rather not. I prefer to keep the peace with our neighbors. I think I'll just go over there (when they're...

Hey fellow Chicagoans- Thought you'd get a kick out of this one - last night we got about ten minutes of sleep (IF that even). Our neighbors (who we've met a couple times) were (butthump) (whip) pretty much the entire evening. They're newlyweds, so I guess that explains it. I was (lol)...

Thanks for the tips/recommendations. The Web sites really helped - hadn't even heard of Kozy's. (braindead

How'd it work out for you at the Daley Center? Everything go smoothly?

Yesterday, my GF and I took a break and spent the entire day on Lake Shore Drive - hung out at the beaches, rode our bikes, etc. Next weekend we're going to hit the museums - she's into that sort of thing. God, this city's gorgeous. We like to do quite a bit of cycling, especially when the...

Hey guys- Thanks for the advice. It really helps to have this 'support system' being that my entire family and majority of my buddies are in NYC. In any case, I appreciate it. I should mention that I get along very well with my girlfriend's parents. In fact, they've told me on several...

Thanks for the offer, Anna. I will bring her along - that is, if she's not busy. She happens to love cars too. (cool)

So Dimitrios, you'll bring the baklava and ouzo to our next meet? My girlfriend will love you for it. :D

Seeing that you give advice to one another, I thought I'd toss this out there. Okay guys, here's my situation: as you know, I'm 28 and recently moved here from NYC. My girl and I have been together for nearly two years - she's a terrific girl who I've grown to love. We've discussed marriage...
