  • is it safe to drive a short distance on a flat tire?

    my tire is flat, on the commute to work this morning, about a 1/2 way from my destination, i hit a bump pretty hard...i didnt think anything of it, because everything seemed fine, no wierd noises or anything...there is a tire place about a mile away from here, will the car be ok if i drive it with a flat tire to the tire place...i asked a friend, and he confused me because he said they cant patch it if the tire was blown out...if a tire was blown out completely, that would be pretty obvious right?

  • What is the procedure for an incedent like this?

    my ex stole about $6000 cash from me...when confronted, he was ashamed of course, and promised to pay me back when he could...we never wrote a contract, because he told me he'd pay, i figured id give him the benefit of the doubt...now its months later, and i've recieved nothing, i let him know that i'm gonna have to go to the police...he basically laughed and said that there is nothing the cops can do, that its his word against mine, and he will deny it if he has to...i cant prove that he did it, other than he has admitted it to me and another person...is there anything the cops can do...or do i have to have some kind of concrete proof?

  • Tax Return question...Is it possible to get a check on the spot?

    I was thinking of getting my taxes done at H&R block, or one of those places.I know they have the emerald card, but I don't qualify for it. Do they have a service, where you can get your taxes done, they can take whatever fees they need, and then they cut you a check that day?...what are the qualifications, and if you know, what kind of fees do they charge?

    'S&M' MARRIAGE FROM HELL

    'DOMINATRIX'S' EX ADMITS HE WAS ABUSIVE DRUNK

    By JENNIFER FERMINO and LORENA MONGELLI

    BUSINESS IN A BIND: Sandra Chemero (above) ran an S&M brothel in this Bedford mansion, cops say. Her ex says she wasn't into kinky stuff during their marriage.

    March 5, 2007 -- Years before she allegedly began using whips and chains on eager clients of her S&M business, kinky Westchester mansion mistress Sandra Chemero endured the real thing in five stormy years of wedlock, her ex-husband admitted yesterday.

    Christopher Chemero, 52, owned up to being "somewhat abusive" during their marriage, which lasted from 1979 to 1984.

    He was nonetheless shocked to learn of his ex's arrest on a prostitution charge and her efforts to earn a living off S&M sex games, which, he insisted, played no role in their marriage.

    "I wasn't into that . . I'm really surprised to hear that about Sandy," Christopher Chemero told The Post at his home in Daytona Beach, Fla.

    The marriage was the first for both. Sandra was 18 and Christopher was 24.

    Christopher, who is now single, said he was an alcohol abuser when he wed, although she "wasn't much of a drinker."

    He said he gave up drinking long ago.

    He said he hasn't heard from his ex in more than 20 years and, "I really don't know what's going on in her life."

    "It was a vicious breakup," Christopher said.

    Although divorce records say the couple had two children, "I'm not sure one of them is mine," he said.

    "I could never say for sure if she cheated on me."

    Christopher Chemero said he lives off disability payments, and is waiting for heart bypass surgery.

    "The men in my family don't live very long," he said.

    Meanwhile, Bedford cops pressed ahead with their investigation yesterday as a woman who used Sandra Chemero's rented house as a place to sell makeup and clothing to cross-dressing men said the accused madam had a female partner in the S&M business several months ago.

    After an argument with Sandra, the other woman moved out of the house in September, the makeup artist said.

    Asked if a second woman was involved, Bedford Police Lt. Robert Mazurak replied: "I'm not going to say no, but I don't want to mislead you . . . It's under investigation."

    Sandra Chemero, 46, is the only person charged thus far, and police have said that they believed she was working alone.

    The makeup artist also said she believed Sandra had a boyfriend from Manhattan who worked on Wall Street. But that could not be immediately confirmed.

    A number of Westchester County men are named in Sandra Chemero's records, Mazurak said.

    "We are continuing to investigate. Where it's going to end, I don't know," he said.

    Sandra Chemero, who is free on bail, was nowhere to be found yesterday.

    She's due in Bedford town court next week to answer misdemeanor charges of prostitution and possession of a stun gun.

    The rabbinical school that owns the $3 million home has evicted Sandra under a clause in her lease barring illegal activity.

    Her Web site advertised the "century-old stately manner" as "The Sovereign Estate," describing it as a "female-led household, headed by an elegant, attractive dominant woman."
