We are looking at a used Nissan Altima to buy. Great price but the airbag light was on in the dash. The guy said the passenger side deployed from a minor accident but as far as he knew the drivers side was still there. I always thought that if the airbags o off they both go off. He said he's owned the car for 3 years and it happend before he bought it. "That's what he was told."

Also what does it cost to get an airbag replaced?

I just would feel safer with a car with an airbag. I would hate to be in an accident and have a family member hurt or worse and be told if the airbags would have been working this wouldn't have happened.

I have been having a tremendous pain in my groin / testicle area. My testicles themselves do not hurt but underneath it.. it started last week after I helped my wife carry the luggage up2 flights of stairs.. it settled down throughout the week and then again after I worked out at teh gym and did some deadlifts it have started this time a lot more painful than last time.

I do not believe it is a hernia because I do not have any lumps..

I have felt around and around and the only thing I can think of that it may be a groin pull. I wanted to go to the doctor but am having difficulty getting the okay from my boss...

should I go to the emergency room ronight after work?

Has anyone experienced this before? What is wrong with me?

Well, I got my cartilage pierced awhile ago with a piercing gun, so I suppose that the gauge size is around 18 - 20g? I want to widen it a little, to maybe 16g (14g at the most, not going any further). How do I do that? Do I just fit in earrings with bigger gauges immediately or what?

Thank you loooads.

Who/what do you think the Republicans are going to blame for this economic collapse?

I mean I have never seen such fear in people's eyes and voices as we are seeing on the cable financial news channels as I do today. Even Warren Buffett.

Or maybe its another effect, such as optical. I understand that the horizon is proportional to the square root of the height of the observer relative to the sea level . So on the beach, lets say I am 20 feet high. That works out to something like 25 miles. Looking left to right rapidly, its true that the locus of lines from my eye to the horizon would be a cone. But only with a 20 foot drop in 25 miles. I would never see that. Has anyone seen this?

I see so much on TV and in the paper about celebrities complaining about being persued by the news media and photographers...DUH they are PUBLIC figures. How much privacy do you think they really should have, considering their chosen profession...entertaining the total population?

The first Diesel engine ever made ran on Bio Fuel made from Peanut Oil. Rudolph Diesel's vision was for it to run on Hemp.
(I suppose if we did switch to HEMP Mexico would still be a major energy supplier.) (The exhaust might make us more docile?)

Existing Diesel engines can run on Bio with minimal problems. New Diesel engines can run on it with NO problems.
Some municipalities use it exclusively in their fleets.

There will always be a place for fossil fuels but if the use of Bio Diesel became pervasive and diminished or illiminated the need for imports, how do you think the Geopolitical Landscape would change?

PS: Please don't speculate that this wont happen because it already is.

We are going to be leasing a house for the next year. We found a nice house that we think would be great for us. The owner has mentioned that we could do a lease w/ an option to buy. It sounds attractive, but is there anything that I should be cautious of as a buyer?

It doesn't seem like it commits me to anything and she said she would take a portion of the rent paid and apply it to a down payment if we choose to buy. She isn't going to charge me more to do this, so would it be wise for me to do?

Also, what is typical of the amount paid that would be applied to rent?

I'm leaning toward doing it, but if anyone w/ more experience can help me I would appreciate it. Thanks
