Just as scrambled egg poured into a pan of boiling oil becomes irreversibly transformed, so does the past alter people. It inevitably produces a bitter person or a better one. However, in a sense, the outcome is up to the individual and his/her attitude towards the past. Remarkably, the degree of bitterness or betterness a person incurs from the past largely depends on their level of competence in mastering their pasts.

In my few years on earth, I have noticed four major groups of victims of the past. If you too carefully study the pattern of lifestyle people adopts having been through various past experiences, I'm sure you'll see that victims of the past falls into one of these categories. I have also observed that before the past can be managed effectively, victims must recognize the category he/she belongs.

1. The Banished Professors: In the past these people have had swell times. They experienced the good old days, "When men were still men and women were housewives and mothers." They fell in love with their yesteryears, so much that they'd rather die there than live now. And oh, how they get what they want. They get permanently banished from the present into the dungeon of their obsession - the past.

Their minds are overdeveloped and over stimulated. Nothing could ever impress them in this "bourn-out, turn-out, and turned-off world." They cannot possibly get out of the trap of analyzing and criticizing everything that crosses their path, and they do it so religiously you'd think they get paid for it. Garth Henrich noticed this strain of people when he remarked, "In youth we want to change the world. In old age we want to change the youth."

Surprisingly, people's degeneration into Banished Professors has little to do with age. Some are nineteen and others, ninety. Unsurprisingly, if she ever got to read to this point, she had only adjusted her hefty colored eye glasses and wondered what the world has turned into. "Does the children of nowadays think they can just write anything?" she asks. It'll never cross her cynical mind that she might as well be the Banished Professor.

2. The Raped Virgins: There are people who have been bruised by others, situations and life. They have been physically, verbally, emotionally or sexually abused in the past. The wound is deep and hurts so badly, they permanently bemoan their ill-fated yesterdays. If you ask them, life hurts. They believe, justifiably though, that life is mercilessly unfair. They don't even have to think before they'd ask "why me?" For them, it's a reflex.

Their favorite line is; it's not my fault! And before you'd say Jack Robinson, they'd have produced an endless list of their offenders and sources of their dilemma. The souls of Rapped Virgins harbors deep hate, bitterness and revenge, setting their blood to boil ceaselessly. Sometimes, they envy the dead.

3. The Fallen Angels: They make mistakes. Like most of us do, they eventually regret their past mistakes. But oops, they've got to pay for them. People of this type are haunted by their pasts. Unlike the Rapped Virgins, The Fallen Angels know that though other people and outside factors might have contributed to their misfire and consequences, they can't really blame anyone. Besides, they readily recognize that they erred due to their bad judgment, poor choices, sick temper or other self-destructive patterns. They feel sorry and often mutter the words, "Had I known".

The Fallen Angels can't ever seem to forgive themselves on what they should have done right. Their emotional wound deteriorates each passing day. But how will it not, when all they do is to dance around it and accord it unworthy attention? They become mentally frozen, too serious and overly cautious by their experiences of failure festered into disabling fears.

4. The Familiar Melange: Most people have experienced hurts, made mistakes and had some good times in the past. This makes them a multifarious blend of the three strains of victims described above, hence, the name, Familiar Melange. Painfully, though, this is the most devastated category. More painfully, most people belong to this group, making it the largest. And most painfully, a large majority of people here don't even think they are victims at all.

This type exhibits, not just all the traits of past hurts, mistakes and glories, they are also a successful hybrid of all. If help is not procured fast, these people will become permanently exiled into their past, hopelessly entangled in the snares of yesterday's web, where they'll ceaselessly suffer scorpion's stings of poisonous bitterness festered into an infected wound of the soul.

There's no one without a past. Feeling sorry, bitter or resentful will not do anyone any good. You have to learn how to master your past, whether good or bad, and forge it to your own advantage. Most importantly, learn how to change your past.

Tips on Changing Your Oil

Panic sets in when you discover that your oil should have been changed five months and two thousand miles ago (which ever came first). Don't panic just yet. If there's an adequate amount of oil in your engine you're not in serious trouble. But if your car had an oil leak or a low amount of oil, you'd be in serious trouble.

The car's engine is composed of metal pieces that are always in motion. The oil basically acts as a lubricant for the car. Failure to change it on a routine basis significantly reduces the engine's life span. Consider using a professional service to change your oil. It will not cost significantly more than a fresh filter and 5 or 6 quarts of oil. Besides, you also have to bring the used oil to an auto shop or mechanic for proper disposal.

Changing oil can be a hassle but the experts can do it blindfolded. It only takes 20 minutes and costs aren't that much more than buying just the parts themselves. However, if you're adamant about servicing your own car, continue reading.

First, get all of the essential supplies and tools together. The procedure requires a new oil filter, 5 or 6 quarts of the recommended oil (look at manual for your vehicle), an oil filter wrench, a socket set, rags and an oil pan or old bucket for catching the used oil. Take a quick drive around the block to warm up your engine. Remember, you only need to warm up the engine so you can loosen up the oil, which drains more efficiently when it is warm. However, hot oil is very hazardous! Do not overheat the oil.

After warming up the oil, place the pan right below the oil pan's drain plug. Use the socket wrench to take off the oil pan plug and let the oil flow out. Watch out for hot oil and try not to drop the plug into the pan. Wearing old clothing is recommended, as splattered oil can stain your clothes. Once you've drained the oil, use the filter wrench to remove the filter. Set it aside and use a fresh rag to clean the filter's mounting surface. Take the new filter and add a thin layer of oil to the gasket. Connect it to the vehicle and tighten it in accordance with the guidelines on the package (generally hand tight).

Lastly, install the oil pan plug. Open the hood and pour the proper amount of oil into the engine. Make sure you do not pour an excessive amount. It'll probably take some time for the fresh oil to trickle down. If the oil level on your stick appears to be too inadequate, give it another chance and add a very tiny amount. If you pour too much, you'll have to start the entire procedure all over again.

That's all there is to it. Clean up the mess and properly discard the used oil and filter. A local mechanic should be able to give you advice on where you can do this. Search for coupons if you're trying to save money. If you are unsure about the skills you picked up in auto shop, you might as well have your oil professionally changed. Good luck!

How far can you drive with a leaky oil pan?

My friend just had her oil changed at Walmart. She has a '93 Honda Accord with 150,000 miles on it. After driving 30 miles to work, her oil light came on. When she checked the oil didn't even show up on the dip stick! And there was oil on the ground. She put in two quarts and it leaked out in 20 minutes. She called Walmart and they just said to bring it back in so they could look at it. But the Walmart she took it to is at least 25 miles away from where she works! Also, she just replaced the oil pan less than a year ago.

Can she put 4 quarts in and make it the 30 miles back?
And what should she do/say when she takes it back in to Walmart?

Sounds like walmart did something wrong. I bet they put the drain plug in wrong. She can drive it forever like that but she needs to carry oil with her and stop regularly to check it.

For 25 miles, i'd stop at least twice, maybe more depending on how quickly it's coming out of it.

When she gets it to them ask them to take a look at what's wrong. It's probably an easy fix that they'll cover because they broke it.

Make sure she hangs on to her receipts in case you need to make a legal issue out of it. Document all of your calls and what you do.
