Unfairly scored/failed on license test?
I took my license test on Friday, and I was failed. I did my parallel fine, 90 degree back in fine, I maintained my speed, and I came to a complete stop at all stop signs and stop lights. I was told a 92+ is pass, and I got 96.
I think this guy was just sexist as hell, because he was talking down about women the entire time. A MALE driver took his test after me. He jumped the curb immediately (which should be an automatic fail), his turn signal didn t work, and he ran a red light. But he passed. The only thing I actually did "wrong" was when I would take a right turn, I didn t hug the damn curb. If I had, I would have jumped the curb. He also said I didn t clear all intersections, even though I did. I have a really bad neck, and can t make it extremely visible that I m checking at each intersection I pass through.
I filed a complaint with the supervisor, who is calling me on Monday to discuss my results and to reevaluate my score.
Also, when we got back to the parking lot, my MALE friend was waiting outside for me. He witnessed the instructor yell at me, tell me the wrong direction to take (he did both of these throughout the entire test), and basically talk down to me. He walked past my friend and told him he would be good to kick me out of the drivers seat and drive me home. I own the car, and my permit is valid.
I m just wondering if there is still a chance I passed, even though the instructor said otherwise. Doesn t his suoervisor have more authority?
3 AnswersSafety6 years ago98 Ford Contour Stuck Between Neutral And Drive?
Thought 1st gear was out. But beginning to believe it's stuck between drive and neutral. Because when I manually put it in 1st it goes fine. Anybody know how to fix this??? Can't afford a new car right now! Going into drive before I hit 30mph makes it really loud and it doesn't really move at all. Take my foot off the gas and it still sounds like I'm trying to floor it. Please somebody help!
2 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs6 years ago1998 Ford Contour Tranny Issues?
I have a 4 cylinder 98 Ford Contour. Reliable little car until a couple days ago. Now it's like first gear is out, and it barely moves, even flooring it. I found I can go from park or reverse to 2nd and then shift into drive once I've gotten to about 30mph, but I know I can't do that forever. I checked the tranny fluid and it looks like motor oil. I don't know how much the last owner knew about cars, so it very well could be! My question is... Would spending $100+ to get the tranny flushed be worth it? Some people said it will fix the problem, some people say it won't. I don't want to put any more money into the car if it isn't going to fix it!
Thanks in advance!
1 AnswerMaintenance & Repairs6 years agoFalling for my ex boyfriend?
I'm engaged to a guy I had been on and off with for the last 3 years. There were a couple guys in between or break ups. My fiance and I are always fighting, and I hung out with one of the guys I saw during the break up last night. Things felt so right, but I don't know what to do! Should I break things off with my fiance? We have a 2 year old son, and that is where things feel really tricky for me. Should I give my ex another chance? I think I'm falling for him all over again.

I've been trying to lose weight after having my son in 2013. I guess I don't see quick enough results, and I'm wondering if there's a way to jump start my weight loss and actually see some quick results to get me motivated to lose the extra weight.

Thanks for your time!!
24 AnswersDiet & Fitness6 years agowhat is wrong with my engagement ring?
I have been with my boyfriend going on 3 years now. He FINALLY proposed. While plenty of people have been really excited for us, I've had a few people really criticize his choice on my ring.
Our financial situation really sucks! I didn't need some fancy pricey thing. He got me a cubic zirconia and sterling silver ring. What is so wrong with that!? I don't care how much was spent, what it is made of, etc. I only want something that shows our commitment to each other. So why is this one such a big deal?
Like why is cubic zirconia/sterling silver just oh so terrible for an engagement ring???
16 AnswersWeddings6 years agoCan my relationship be fixed?
I just had a baby via c-section 2 weeks ago. My doctor said no sex until 6 weeks post partum. It is difficult for my boyfriend and I. Especially because I feel so uncomfortable in my body that I don't even think he finds me attractive anymore.
Last night he begged me for sex and I said no. The baby was throwing a huge fit so I went to ask him for help. I caught him watching porn and masterbating in bed. It was really embarassing to walk in on.
Well I was really upset and he asked for sex again, which I gave in this time.
Anywho...
We fight constantly and he always pulls stuff like that. And I don't appreciate him looking at other women like that! You know?
Is there anything we can do to make our relationship better again? I do see some hope, but I simply don't know what to do! :/
1 AnswerOther - Family & Relationships8 years agoHow do I dilate my cervix quickly?
My due date is today, and everything is ready to go. But I have absolutely no dilation. The doctor told me to walk a lot. Is there anything else I can do to start dilation?
I'm fully effaced, the baby dropped well over a month ago. And I've had contractions every 3-5 minutes for over a week now.
What can I do to get this started? I can't deal with the pain very well.
3 AnswersNewborn & Baby8 years agoIntense stomach pain at 36 weeks in pregnancy?
Today I am at 36 weeks, 3 days. I have been getting really sharp pains and pressure in my hips, lower stomach, and lady parts. I went to the emergency room 2 weeks ago, and was dilated 1cm. The baby has dropped, and I have already shed the mucus plug, and have been having clear discharge, that is more like liquid than anything.
I went to the hospital again a couple days ago because the baby wasn't moving at all for the entire day. We checked everything out, and everything is fine, but they did not check if the dilation changed at all.
I cannot get comfortable at all because the pain is so bad. It hurts when I sit, stand, and lay down. It's constant pain, and it never goes away. I have been getting contractions a lot the last couple weeks as well.
Anyone else had this happen, or know what might be wrong (if anything)? And what can I do to ease the pain?

1 AnswerMarketing & Sales8 years agoDoes Mane n' Tail work to aid in hair growth?
I just bought Mane n' Tail a couple days ago, and used it for the first time yesterday. My hair feels super clean after using it, which I find to be a huge plus.
I mostly bought it because I have heard of people whose hair was a lot healthier after using it, thus promoting growth. I have very short hair, and I want my hair to grow back.
I stopped dying my hair, I take prenatal vitamins, and I use Mane n' Tail. I'm pregnant as well, so my diet is pretty good.
But my question is....Does Mane n' Tail work like people say it does? I have watched a ton of reviews on youtube about the amazing growth some people have seen!

One of my back molars has had a cavity for a really long time. A couple months ago, it broke a little. Today, it broke a little more. Basically the tooth is missing the middle. What should I do?
I am pregnant, and cannot afford to go to a dentist. I haven't been to one in a really long time because I simply cannot afford it.
1 AnswerDental8 years agoCan I get my hair to grow faster?
In February, I got this awful haircut! Aside from my bangs, my hair is around 2 inches long, and I hate it.
Before my haircut, my hair was to the middle of my back. I just want some way to get my hair to grow the most it possibly can in the quickest amount of time.
Are there any special shampoos or products I could use? What about CHEAP clip in hair extensions? I just don't like having short hair!
By the way, I'm pregnant. So I can't take any vitamins besides my prenatal vitamins.

7 AnswersHair8 years agoIs my boyfriend cheating?
I've been with my boyfriend for the last 8 months. A few months ago, we found out I am pregnant. Lately, he has been talking to me less and less, and claims to be sleeping. But one of my friends saw him out with one of his coworkers, when he told me he was taking a nap. I confronted him, and he said she was "giving him advice" on our relationship. She is 17, and he is almost 21. I would have believed him, but he has admitted in the past that he has always really liked her. Before I started noticing a change in him, (I just remembered this), he had ditched his plans of going out with me on my birthday to supposedly help this coworker find her dog. However, they live in a small town, and she already had a ton of people helping. The more I think about it, the more it bothers me. He also is constantly deleting his messages on his phone, and won't even let me touch it. Before, he didn't mind leaving his facebook or email open. He changed all of his passwords, which he previously did not have a problem with me knowing them. He suddenly doesn't want me around his family at all. He comes back from work a half hour to fourty five minutes late on a regular basis, which he never used to do. Also, he constantly accuses me of cheating on him, when I don't really talk to anyone besides my family! This whole thing is just really bothering me, and I feel like he is cheating on me!
Am I just paranoid..? I don't know, and I really need some outside opinions!
Thanks!
2 AnswersSingles & Dating8 years agoDo Straight Talk phones use SIM cards?
Okay, so I'm on Boost Mobile, and I hate it. i don't get service most places that I go.
My mom is on Straight Talk and gets service through Verizon, which I like.
So what I'm wondering...is if I can buy a basic Straight Talk phone that uses a SIM card, and put the SIM card from that phone into a different phone.
I'm only asking because one of my friends did this a year ago, and it worked great.
Also, if it did work, would it use Verizon's towers? Someone said it would!
Thanks, best answer gets 10pts right away. :)
4 AnswersCell Phones & Plans8 years agoHP Pavillion G7 black screen on startup?
My sister's HP Pavillion G7 laptop stopped working yesterday. The night before, it was functioning fine. She went to turn it on the next morning. Upon startup, the options to go into safe mode, start windows normally, etc, came up. I clicked start windows normally. From there, the windows startup screen came up. After that, the screen went black. You could still move the mouse, but the screen stayed black.
There has to be a simple solution to this.
Anyone else had this problem?
Please help! First good answer that works gets 10 points!
