Cracked Rim: Is it dangerous to be driving around on a cracked rim (Volkswgn Jetta 04)? The tire guy told me its cracked and pulls to one side. Not good, but dangerous?

When you have to visit a public bathroom, you usually find a line of women, so you smile politely and take your place. Once it's your turn, you check for feet under the stall doors. Every stall is occupied.

Finally, a door opens and you dash in, nearly knocking down the woman leaving the stall.
You get in to find the door won't latch. It doesn't matter, the wait has been so long you are about to wet your pants! The dispenser for the modern 'seat covers' (invented by someone's Mom, no doubt) is handy, but empty. You would hang your purse on the door hook, if there was one, but there isn't - so you carefully, but quickly drape it around your neck, (Mom would turn over in her grave if you put it on the FLOOR! ), yank down your pants, and assume ' The Stance.'

In this position your aging, toneless thigh muscles begin to shake. You'd love to sit down, but you certainly hadn't taken time to wipe the seat or lay toilet paper on it, so you hold 'The Stance.'

To take your mind off your trembling thighs, you reach for what you discover to be the empty toilet paper dispenser. In your mind, you can hear your mother's voice saying, 'Honey, if you had tried to clean the seat, you would have KNOWN there was no toilet paper!' Your thighs shake more.

You remember the tiny tissue that you blew your nose on yesterday - the one that's still in your purse. (Oh yeah, the purse around your neck, t hat now, you have to hold up trying not to strangle yourself at the same time). That would have to do. You crumple it in the puffiest way possible. It's still smaller than your thumbnail

Someone pushes your door open because the latch doesn't work. The door hits your purse, which is hanging around your neck in front of your chest, and you and your purse topple backward against the tank of the toilet. 'Occupied!' you scream, as you reach for the door, dropping your precious, tiny, crumpled tissue in a puddle on the floor, lose your footing altogether, and slide down directly onto the TOILET SEAT . It is wet of course. You bolt up, knowing all too well that it's too late. Your bare bottom has made contact with every imaginable germ and life form on the uncovered seat because YOU never laid down toilet paper - not that there was any, even if you had taken time to try. You know that your mother would be utterly appalled if she knew, because, you're certain her bare bottom never touched a public toilet seat because, frankly, dear, 'You just don't KNOW what kind of diseases you could get.'

By this time, the automatic sensor on the back of the toilet is so confused that it flushes, propelling a stream of water like a fire hose against the inside of the bowl that sprays a fine mist of water that covers your butt and runs down your legs and into your shoes. The flush somehow sucks everything down with such force that you grab onto the empty toilet paper dispenser for fear of being dragged in too.

At this point, you give up. You're soaked by the spewing water and the wet toilet seat. You're exhausted. You try to wipe with a gum wrapper you found in your pocket and then slink out inconspicuously to the sinks.

You can't figure out how to operate the faucets with the automatic sensors, so you wipe your hands with spit and a dry paper towel and walk past the line of women still waiting.

You are no longer able to smile politely to them. A kind soul at the very end of the line points out a piece of toilet paper trailing from your shoe. (Where was that when you NEEDED it??) You yank the paper from your shoe, plunk it in the woman's hand and tell her warmly, 'Here, you just might need this.'

As you exit, you spot your hubby, who has long since entered, used, and left the men's restroom. Annoyed, he asks, 'What took you so long, and why is your purse hanging around your neck?'

This is dedicated to women everywhere who deal with a public restrooms (rest??? You've GOT to be kidding!!). It finally explains to the men what really does take us so long. It also answers their other commonly asked questions about why women go to the restroom in pairs. It's so the other gal can hold the door, hang onto your purse and hand you Kleenex under the door!

This HAD to be written by a woman! No one else could describe it so accurately!

Send this to all women that need a good laugh AND, don't forget to have a mammogram!!!!!! It could save your life!

I really don't understand why i'm a magnet for man-whores. if there's a man-whore, he'll like me. it's very annoying because usually i end up being upset about them. i don't think i give off a vibe that attracts man-whores....i don't act slutty and i'm not stupid.....so why do they think they can fool me?? what is it about me that makes them feel so....so........"welcome." It's not like I flirt with them or give off any wrong messages. so why me? it's never the nice guys that like me, it's always the man-whores. i think i have a nice enough personality to attract the nice guys but apparently not...

I want to start acting... How can I do it? I wanna be in some movies as a teen. But no big parts or something... I have stage fright, though... So what should I do? And no one seems to want to do it with me... I dont' want to alone! I'm so scared! Lately, though, I've been really into starting. But I'm thinking, If I suck, people will make fun of me!

There is so much acceptance and justification in the Old Testament in regards to rape, slavery, murder, killing people "because God said so", etc. When I bring this up Christians tell me that is why it is "outdated" and why most Christians follow the New Testament. Since that's when Jesus was 'sent' to wash away the sins. '

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it the S-A-M-E God in the OT as in the NT? Did he realize he messed up and therefore needed to send a 'present' to right the wrongs? Or did he see his current plan of action wasn't working? Either way, this means he is not "all knowing", right??

Did you ever have interest in meeting your biological parents? If so, have you met them?

I'm just curious because my boyfriend doesn't know his birth father, his mom got pregnant when she was very young. She then got married a couple years later and my boyfriend was adopted by the man she married. He is completly content not knowing his birth father, but I always wonder why he doesn't want to know. I would never push him or anything, I just wonder why he wouldn't want to at least meet him and let him know he technically has a granddaughter. We know his birth fathers name and that he still lives locally, but he just doesn't care to meet him. Like I said, I respect his decision but just would like some insight on why people feel that way.
