3 men go into a motel.

The man behind the desk said the room is R30, so each man paid R10 and went to the room.

A while later the man behind the desk realized the room was only R25, so he sent the bellboy to the 3 guy's room with R5.

On the way the bellboy couldn't figure out how to split R5 evenly between 3 men, so he gave each man a R1 and kept the other R2 for himself.

This meant that the 3 men each paid R9 for the room, which is a total of R27, add the R2 that the bellboy kept = R29.

Where is the other Rand ?

Careful;

This proves that we cannot trust mathematics in all that we are doing.

My folks and I share the same beliefs and we are pretty close and every time one of my relationships in the past has gone south I would get (not always in words) I told you so. Every time my mom goes shopping for me she buys exactly what I would have bought. Every time she recommends something to me she is always right. We agree on everything but my choice of men. So, I was thinking.....hmmm.....maybe there is something to that. Maybe I should let my mom hook me up with someone she thinks would be good for me. I trust her judgment in everything else and I definitely don't trust my own judgment now with men so is it worth a shot? If it goes bad at least I don't have to hear I told you so. I am a 30 year old Christian woman in search of a like aged Christian man. My mom is also Christian and knows what I am looking for. What do you think? Should I? Shouldn't I? Why or why not?

I've heard both sides...either LOVE a Jeep or HATE a Jeep. I'm thinking of getting one, but I heard the 2000 and below models have tranny problems and also frame/body problems. Is this true?

What is the main argument about the problem with these Jeeps? How can I tell if I am about to purchase one of those problem Jeeps?

It's a 1999 Limited with 127,000 miles 4wd v8. Is there a VIN# range or something where I can tell if it is one of the bunk Jeeps?

Thanks!

I am trying to get an apartment and was wondering how good your credit has to be. I have only had 2 credit cards in my life and one was wells fargo that had a 60 day late payment on it in 2005 and then the account was closed.The other credit card is in good standards.My credit is about 610. I was wondering if I should get another credit card to build my credit? Will that help?
Also how much more than the rent do you have to make a month?
Thanks!

I just took it to mean that dual diagnosis means that you have two illnesses at the same time. I just don't know what specific kind of illness.

My friend Susan asked me to do this last and really caught me off guard. We are good friends, but it sort of grossed me out.

Today she asked me again and I did not know what to do so I did it again. I feel guilty saying no because I know how tiring dance can be.
