 | Who here has asthma and what helps? - Tom288 on 5/21/13 at 4:08 pm I was diagnosed with exercise-induced asthma which was a bitch in high school but as I've gotten older the symptoms have expanded. Tightness of chest, shallow breathing, that constant urge to "catch" a full breath. Albuterol has never helped, the only thing that does is something like Bronkaid and P...

 | # of times you've been flashed while driving? - Tom288 on 4/17/13 at 10:46 am I've been flashed 4 times while driving and have always thought that has to be an unusually high amount of times for an individual, and these all occurred between 16 and 20-21. But who knows, maybe 4 times is low on the scale?
Oh, and that's 4 times by women, just to be clear. So if you have ex...
