     You have come to the right place! For over 40 years, my father, Rick Settle, has been dealing with cars that most people could never solve. He is a tech that works on foreign and domestic automobiles. Outside of his daytime job, people call Rick to help them with a car trouble problem. He takes pride in what he does. People love his work, advice, low costs and how fast he gets done.

     He has helped so many people and is willing to help many more. Almost every car has something wrong with it. Now, put my dad to the test! Be one of the ones that are glad they had Rick fixing or giving advice about the car.

     He knows anything about a car. The year the car was built. What kind it is. Is the car good for winter roads? Is it good for inspection? Is the price of the car a good deal or are they ripping me off? What is the car worth? Etc... He is a good man and won't tell you wrong!

True Blood fans beg for more

     The first episode of True Blood aired on HBO September 14, 2008, taking the place of the long running blockbuster, "The Sopranos". "The Sopranos", was the most watched premium series.

My mother and I both thought True Blood was going to be stupid at first just like most of the vampire flicks we have watched. But we sat there and watched the first episode, " Strange Love" of season one. We were hooked! It became the most watched premium series.

     The story is about Sookie Stackhouse. She is a waitress at Merlott's and has a gift of hearing people's thoughts. Sookie is a human living in a world where humans and vampires coexist. Vampires did not frighten her. She was intrigued for the first time in her life because she couldn't hear what someone was thinking.

     Seasons two and three heated up for Sookie and Bill, leaving more problems with their love life and the people around them. Although season three is over, True Blood fans are still begging for more! It left fans hanging. No one knows what happened to Sookie or who survived the fight between Bill and the queen.

• What do you like about it or hate?

• Who do you think Sookie will end up with: Bill, Eric or Alcede?

Taylor Swift and her songs

I am stating my short opinion based on Taylor Swift and her songs

     I think her songs are great! I have always liked Taylor. Most of us all know her as writing songs about guys. Nothing is wrong with that. It helps her by letting out all of those feelings she has so she can move on. If I were a singer, I would probably do that same thing with my relationships. I know I have a hard time getting over stuff. What I do is write in a journal and cry it out.

     Not only is Taylor helping herself move on, she lets others hear from her perspective. People feeling the way Taylor has and or slightly been through the same thing lets others know its okay and to move on like she has. Its a warm comforting feeling knowing that you are singing one of Taylor's songs to get those feelings out.

     Songs by Taylor Swift are so touching to some people and myself. Every time I am sad, I listen to many of her songs. But, I have to play: Picture to burn! That revenge feeling feels so great for awhile. And when I am done listening to the song, I just tell myself, I will be the better person walking away without revenge just like she did in her music video.

     Not all of her songs are sad or have revenge. For example: "Our Song", which is a upbeat love song. Its great. In the video, she is happy and is having fun.

    Her new album, "Speak Now", is great! Some of my friends who didn't really like her, are now listening to her album because it sounds like there is some rock music. I never expected that from her but, it is great. I love the song, "Mine". The lyrics are great and the music is soothing. She is unique and that is what I love about her. Her songs have meaning. She is very pretty and has many gifts.

Anxiety and Depression

What is Anxiety and Depression?
How am I sure I have it?
What are the symptoms?
Can it be dangerous to others and myself? 
Is it treatable? 

     Anxiety and Depression occur mostly in woman due to the production of estrogen. Many people feel hopeless, sad, scared, tired, angry and etc. It is hard for them to do every day tasks. If one does not get treatment, it may worsen. Some people defeat anxiety within a month and others have it for years.

What is Anxiety and Depression?:

     A state of uneasiness and apprehension; loss of control in mood and mind. Constantly worrying and thinking about the future.

How am I sure I have Anxiety and Depression?:

    Keep track of how long you have been feeling, "not yourself". There are a few disorders of Anxiety you should read about! GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder): It affects the way a person thinks. OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder): Unwanted thought and or repetitive behaviors. Panic Disorder: Unexpected and repeated episodes of intense fear. PTSD (Post-traumatic Stress Disorder): Develops after a terrifying event causing nightmares and or daily visions of the event. Social Anxiety Disorder: excessive self-consciousness in areas where there are a lot of people.

So now.. What are the symptoms of Anxiety and Depression?:

     One may feel: tightness in chest, lightheaded, dizziness, shaky, difficulty breathing, fast heart beating, sick and etc. One can have more than one symptom at a time. These symptoms usually last up to 5 minutes to an hour.

Can it be dangerous to others and myself?

     Believe it or not, it can be dangerous to others and oneself. People feeling loss of control and self esteem beat up on others and or their self. Someone dealing with Anxiety find it hard to get help because no one understands what they feel. Because Anxiety overpowers one, that person cannot control their mood or mind. So much weakness and unhappiness causes negative thinking and low self-esteem. Suicide happens to some people because they can't bare to live like that. Think of people who have anxiety and drive. If that person were to have a panic attack, it can be very dangerous to drivers or pedestrians. There are many reasons it can be dangerous to others and oneself.

Luckily, Anxiety and Depression is curable!

     There are a few ways to treat  Anxiety and Depression: Counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, medication, going to the doctor more frequently, etc.

     Well, telling you that twice I had Anxiety and Depression in my life. Now, I can give you some coping skills that helped me get through the day: Doodling, drawing, painting, playing the piano, doing projects that I loved, talking to a friend who listened, going to therapy and counseling, keeping my phone and water with me at all times, etc.

     Some of the things might sound ridiculous, but it helped a lot. It got my mind off of things and I felt secured having my water and phone wherever I went. I always thought negative. I always felt something bad was going to happen. Do whatever that helps keep the negative thoughts away!

Any questions or concerns. Need more information? Don't hesitate to ask or talk!
