Should I Leave/Divorce My Husband?

Friday, November 26th, 2010
Wanna B asked:

I wrote checks to pay our utilities a couple weeks ago and 2 checks bounced. My husband doesn't want me to work, so I have been taking college courses online ( my parents paying for). My husband works in the mine and makes plenty enough money to support us. We have no kids. I use birthcontrol as I am not ready to have a child yet...at least with him at this point. Within the past year or so, he has purchased a lift kit and other accessories for his truck, purchased a new 4 wheeler (ATV), a bigger motor for his bass boat (200hp!!!) and plenty of other guy stuff. The garage he built a couple years back is twice and big and cost twice as much as our trailer.

I am the 2nd owner i really never figured out the proper way to fill up the live well.Most of the times i would turn on the freshwater switch on manual to fill the live well slowly and other times it just fills up on its own.The fresh water switch works on recirculate only not manual and when i am ready to drain the live well i shut off the main fuel switch and it usally drains.My other promblem is that my speedometer doesn't work at all.What can i do to try to solve these promblems without taking it to a dealer? I am also looking for a original manual for this boat it's a 1992 nitro bass boat 150 evinrude high performance. I thank you very much for any information that you can provide.Thanks again,Joe.

Ok, so there I was in a little bass boat on this river(kind of looked like a huge lake with little tributarys connecting, anyway), with some dude I didn't know. I was looking around wondering what kind of fish were in this thing? He's like, "man, we got some of the biggest catfish in the world!"...step outta the dream for a sec...now I'm an outdoorsmen and fisherman, and was actually excited in my dream to hear this...but this is when it got a little out of hand...back to the dream...so I start looking around, and I spot this like 30 Foot long catfish! I look again and there's like 20, 15 foot catfish in one area! I began to actually get really freaked out! Cause I was out there, and these things were literally MONSTERS! It was a cool and frightening dream at the same time.

Hi, i am a marine technition who just purchased a 1979 skeeter bass boat as a project for me and my son.I am very farmilliar with all boat side as well as engine side systems just not glasswork too deeply, I just loved the shape of the hull and transom. Anyway i just split the cap and hull and what i found was someone has already done some glass work on the rear stringers and 3/4 up the transom. what i need to know is where to and not to use mat or roven. the cap is matalic blue flake and looks dull. I sure would like to be able to see it glossy again or can i spray gelcoat to make it look white and shiney or do i just wet out the entire deck with resin and sand then spray??? please any detailed information would surley save me headaches and money with my first project boat.
