sara, you have an amazing collection of earrings.

That's a really cool rack, sara.

Poor Noah! Way to rally, buddy.

Thank you, aurelia!

All my mom. Honestly, the few pairs I've gotten myself, I am so much more ambivalent about (not counting the Nepal ones. Those I channeled Mother and it worked.)

Aww... I keep waiting for someone to say, "Nice rack, sara!"

Perkins, that could be the mass air flow (MAF) sensor. What can happen is that the sensor gets dirty, and it thinks the fuel is too lean or too rich, and so the light comes on. This can lead to unnecessary -- and expensive -- repairs, when all you need to do is pull the sensor and clean it.

You can take you car to Auto Zone or a similar store and have them hook their code reader up to your car to tell you why the light came on (the engine problems have codes). If the code is either "fuel too lean" or "fuel too rich," odds are very good it's the MAF sensor.

I don't know how you feel about doing your own work under the hood, but I think that even being able to take it to a mechanic and say, "pull and clean the MAF sensor, please," will ensure the right thing gets fixed.

I've had to pull and clean my MAF sensor twice in the 7 years I've had the spud, and it's kind of a pain, but not that tough. Plus I felt all badass for being able to fix my car.

Wow. That is a fantastic earring rack & jewelry storage. Where did you find it?

Wait, I went back and actually read things. From a craft fair?

All my silver earrings, necklaces, and bracelets are in plastic bags in the little drawers on the shelves so they don't tarnish. The non-silver pendants on cords and the beaded necklaces hang on the door. But the wooden, glass, and beaded earrings would be pretty displayed on a rack like yours! Thanks for the inspiration.

I keep waiting for someone to say, "Nice rack, sara!"

I was distracted! But I was gonna say great rack, sara. Great rack.

Nice earrings too.

I need an earring rack like that. And a necklace rack. And my sister really needs one. She's earring obsessive. I wish that were shit I could buy for her.

More car talk: Perkins, now that I think about it, the MAF sensor thing might be unique to Toyotas, although it seems like all cars would have to have that sensor, or a similar one. So take my advice with a large grain of salt.
