Not so happy thanksgiving

You have a bad alternator. Sounds like you need a rebuild. Alts do that, especially if they are going bad and have some moisture in it, especially if its been cold out and the engine is nice and warm. Go to advanced auto or autozone and have them run a alternator test. I bet thats what it is. Sounds like what my TA did when the alt **** the bed, and these **** the bed after a couple years. Good luck.

I can't stand the people that bitch and whine over small things like that...Sounds like a very Minor problem too me..
Pal you shouldn't let the little things ruin your thanksgiving like that!!!! Infact you should be grateful and thankful on thanksgiving day that you weren't diagnosed with cancer or something terrible like that.........Now that would really suck ***, not a bad battery or alt..... Cars break down, that's life.........
I say close thread out of respect for those that really suffer like our dis-membered Vets coming back from the Middle East war on thanksgiving day and have to read trivial crap like this...

Sorry, I was rude, my bad....I sometimes get fired up over this stuff and love to keep it positive, what can I say? I think I forgot to take my meds or something...
Black Friday why not Good Friday? Isn't everything on sale, so it should be good thing and not a dark thing, no?

Yep, I did hear about that Walmart worker getting trampled to death......Now, how the hell does that happen?..Don't people know they are trampling someone in a department store? It's not like a European futbol event now is it? The dude opens the department doors and gets knocked down and people start steping on him and he is then trampled til death...WOW!!! Not good....
I wonder if this imployee was a very small and tiny woman or an obese man in poor health?

I would think it almost impossible to step full weight on someone and kill them. I would think you would just roll off and or sprain your ankle or something... The only way I would think this could happen is if there was a sardine effect and the crowd running in fell down ontop of the employee then the dog pile effect occured.. The employee then sufficated or got crushed to death... I don't know about this trampled thing... Getting tampled by a herd of running bulls like in Spain I could see happening but a herd of people?
It just seems almost impossible to me... I would start swigging and squirming for my life, struggle to get up, or find a wall to avoid the onslaught.. Tuck in the Fetal position or something, anything......However, if a 250 pound man steps on your head and stays positioned there it could be trouble... Even worse the same 250 pound fat man falls down and sits right on your head and then farts... That would kill you right there... I am sorry I shouldn't be joking about this...My bad again...
Seriously, I feel bad for the employee and his family...

America is a very large country...I am sure some 300+ pound man stepped on their throat.

Yeah, but if you step on someones throat, don't you realise that and not put all your weight down?... I just don't get it... I think they tripped and fell ontop of the small dude or small chick....Basically dog piled up... Well maybe when your that fat you just can't control your weight literally, who frigg'n knows?
It's pathetic to think what some people will do to get a good deal at a department store... It's not like the stuff was free or something...
