What kind of "trouble-magnet" are you?

A De Moine, Iowa, teenager has earned the nickname "The Deer Magnet" after hitting five deer in the past year.  Kacee Larson said her first encounter came last July while driving home from work.  The second happened a few months later on her way to church.  After hitting deer #4, her church told her to start praying before getting into the vehicle.  Didn't help -- victim #5 came last Friday.  She says she can't help but ask - "Why me?"

You dated/married someone that was PERFECT in almost every way...but had to dump them because they (did what) too much!  

This is from a "Dear Carole" column in the Guardian:
Dear Carole, Please can you help me with an embarrassing problem which I can't seem to control that annoys my boyfriend (and my previous one too).

I'm in love with him, and he with me; we've been together for four 
years. But I talk more than him and can't seem to stop myself, especially when I'm excited or happy, when he's just trying to quietly enjoy the moment.

It doesn't help that he's Hungarian. I have learned a few basics of his native language, but am nowhere near fluent and can't hold a conversation in Hungarian.

Do you have any advice to help me control my talking when I'm excited or happy?

Any advice?  See Carole's answer here: go

JOKE OF THE DAY

The young woman sat in her stalled car, waiting for help. Finally two men walked up to her. “I’m out of gas,” she purred. ‘Could you push me to the gas station?”
The men readily put their muscles to the car and rolled it several blocks. After a while, one looked up, exhausted, to see that they had just passed a filling station.
“How come you didn’t turn in?” he yelled.
“I never go there,” the girl shouted back. “They don’t have full service.’
