I used to run a few miles a week and want to get back into it, but my knees feel tender after short jogs. What training plan or adjustments can help ease in without flaring things up? I can commit to about 30 minutes & three times a week. Quick background: I've tried a couple things already but keep getting stuck. Thanks in advance.

I want to be honest and kind. What words should I use?

I do gig work, so my income goes up and down. I want a plan that still covers rent and food. How can I save a little for emergencies too? I need steps that are easy to follow. (I'm not looking for professional advice, just everyday experiences.)

I'm looking for a baby monitor that works well in my bigger house. The SIGNAL needs to be strong enough to reach upstairs without dropping.

I've been dealing with this car battery issue for weeks now and it's really getting on my nerves because my Honda Civic won't start reliably in the mornings. I bought it used a few years ago and and it's essential for my daily commute since public transport isn't great in my area. I've tried jump-starting it a couple of times, but it only works temporarily. The battery is old, probably original, and I need to replace it without spending a fortune. Budget is tight with other expenses. Any advice on compatibility or what to check?

Hey folks any tips on picking a hair dryer that won't fry my curls? I've got naturally curly hair and need something with diffuser attachment and but not too pricey.

My electric toothbrush stopped charging overnight! I actually need to fix it fast! What could be wrong?

I've only had this phone case for a month and it's already cracking at the edges & which is so frustrating because I bought it to protect my new smartphone from drops :) I got it after upgrading my phone last year, and I need something durable since I work outdoors a lot and it's prone to falls. I've tried being more careful, but the material seems cheap. Budget is limited, so I can't keep replacing it. Any ideas why this happens or better alternatives?

I've been using this e-reader for months now and it was working fine until yesterday when I tried to borrow a new mystery novel from the library app :) Suddenly and it won't sync at all. I double-checked my Wi-Fi connection, but that seems okay. Maybe it's a software glitch or something with the account? I've restarted the device twice, and even deleted and reinstalled the app, but no luck. Budget is limited, so I can't afford a replacement right now. This is frustrating because I rely on it for my bedtime reading! Any ideas on how to fix this?

My car is a 2015 Honda Civic and the tires seem low sometimes. I bought a gauge but I'm not sure if it's right for my car. How do I check the pressure correctly? I don't want to mess up my tires.

Any tricks for keeping my brain from chasing every passing thought? I promise to reward it with a snack after each chapter.

I don't want to come off as controlling, but consistent check-ins help me feel connected. What feels reasonable to ask for without overwhelming someone?

I've had this coffee maker for about two years now and it used to work perfectly every morning. Lately, it's been acting up and not brewing a full pot, which is really messing with my routine since I rely on it for my daily caffeine fix. I tried cleaning it with vinegar like the manual suggested, but that didn't seem to help much. My kitchen space is limited, so I can't just buy a huge new one, and I need something reliable without spending a fortune. Has anyone dealt with this before? I wonder if it's the filter or maybe the water pump. The last time I attempted to descale it more thoroughly, it improved a bit but still isn't consistent. I really need advice on what to try next before I give up and replace it.

Hey guys new to photography here. Shooting outdoors a lot & what filter do you recommend for my Canon DSLR to protect the lens and reduce glare?

Oh dear my old blender that I've had for years suddenly started making this awful grinding noise last week when I was trying to make my morning smoothie. You know, I'm 64 and not too handy with these gadgets, but I love my fresh fruit blends every day. I've tried cleaning it out thinking maybe some pulp got stuck, but that didn't help at all. Money's a bit tight right now since I'm on a fixed income, so I can't just go buy a new one. I even unplugged it and plugged it back in, but the noise is still there. Does anyone have simple tips for fixing this without calling a repairman? I remember my late husband used to tinker with appliances, but I'm lost here. Any advice would be appreciated, friends!

I want to start painting as a hobby. What are good acrylic paints for someone new?

Hi folks, I'm a first-time mom and bought this bottle warmer to make feeding easier at night. It worked fine at first but now it seems to be heating the milk too hot, which worries me because I don't want to burn my little one's mouth. I've followed the instructions exactly, timing it for the recommended minutes, but still, it's inconsistent. My baby is only three months old, so safety is my top priority, and I can't afford fancy high-end models right now. I tried adjusting the water level as suggested in some reviews, but that didn't fix it completely. Has anyone else experienced this with similar products? Maybe there's a trick to calibrating it or a common fix I'm missing. I'd love some advice before I return it and try another one.

Hey everyone, I'm looking to replace the tires on my SUV because they're getting worn out especially with all the rain we've been having lately. I drive a lot on highways and need something that handles wet roads well without slipping. I've got a mid-size SUV, like a Honda CR-V, and my current tires are 225/65R17 – any recommendations on brands or types that are reliable? Would appreciate any tips on what to look for when buying online.

I want to exercise before work because evenings keep getting derailed. Mornings are tough for me & but I'm willing to start small if it helps me stick with it. What routine structure and sleep tweaks make early workouts sustainable without burning out?

My coffee maker is leaking water all over the counter. It started after I cleaned it last week. I need to know why this happens and how to fix it so I can make my morning coffee without a mess.
