I didn't read well enough, I totally got the impression that you did!

  Sorry about that.  No, this building barely even has a front yard!  :laugh:

Do you have window sills?

Yes but we also have cats that like to eat the plants so most are in the rooms with no cats allowed or hanging.  And there are a lot of them and some are big, one is a cactus that is over five feet tall

Ladybirds are almost worse than spiders. They really stink, and they're attracted to my bedroom in my nan's house. My mother and I vacuumed up about 100 ladybirds from my window. It was disgusting.

I've kept the window shut since to stop them coming in, otherwise lots of them come in.

Wasps are attracted to my room too. My nan told me just now that I need to open the window to ventilate it so it doesn't go mouldy. I just looked at my window and there was a wasp crawling outside. :(

My car is making a funny noise when I make tight turns, but it's weird that I can hear it best inside the cabin. I can't describe it properly.

I don't wanna go back to that dealership to see if it's fixable under warranty though :(.

Turn the wheel all the way one way and check whether anything is coming in contact with the tires, then repeat in the opposite direction.

Might be just something dumb like a splash guard that came loose and is hitting a tire. If you can spot it, then you can tell them exactly what to touch and what not to touch.  ;)

  Tell them not to touch Jack.  :zoinks:

^I am usually a morning person. It isn't like I am overly cheerful to everyone I meet or anything, it just means that I am clearheaded and able to concentrate best in the morning.

Still have not found places for all my plants for the winter

  If I had plants, I'd store them in my oven, which I never use.  :autism:

ooh, something else we have in common. I mean not using the oven, not the bright idea of keeping plants in there.

I don't like the further restrictions that places in my already way-too-restricted diet, but my ataxia was getting far too out-of-hand. I just got totally fed up with  burning myself every time I used it. Sometimes twice. Not badly, but there's only so much time I 'm willing to spend holding my hand under the running tap. Oh yeah, and i also got thouroughly bored with with my dinner going straight to the bin, via the kitchen floor. And the huge amount of extra cleaning .  Just not worth it in the least.  I do  occasionally use the oven, when i've got guests, on condition that guest is willing to do the pull-the-hot-stuff-out-of-the oven bit for me, but otherwise I am through with ovens .

Any similarity with your case?

Still have not found places for all my plants for the winter
Following several  infestations of fungus gnats during the autumn, I now nbserve strict segregration of indoor and outdoor plants. Nothing, but nothing overwinters,indoors. If it can't stand the winter, it doesn't grow in my garden. No great sacrififice, in my case though, because I do prefer resilient, naturalistic, native species to  finicky foreiners. The problem arose because I thought  to  prolong the usefulness of some of my herbs, especially the mint,  by bringing them indoors . Fungus gnats are huge  fans of mint, as it happens. As a result, I had to chuck away my pots of supermarket basil as well as the mint!

The actual indoor plants are a sad array, though, cos like the weeble, i just can;'t consistently take care of things . Even cacti sometimes bite the dust, due to neglect, and yeah I do feel guilty when that happens  (emo). I once refused to ever have indoor plants at all (having become too overwhelmed with guilt, already, during my childhood)  but people will buy them for you sometimes, Won'rt they? And some gifts have survived and even got so far as reproducing. And I've beccome pretty fond of them. Indoor greenery is a lovely  thing to have :)

...oh hang on, Weeble, i might have a been a teeny bit unfair to you. When you said you're not good at taking care of plants, you meant you're apt to stick them in hostile enviromments  like the oven, didn't you?  :LOL: Not that you forget to water them, like me.

Kind of a squeaking noise? A car I used to own had that .

It's not a squeak, it's not a grinding noise, it's not a rubbing noise. It's more like a humming noise but at a higher frequency than those mysterious ambient hums outside (like, 150hz+)
It's not the power steering because that would make a noise turning full lock when stationary too. I'll have to check for rubbing.
