I'm beginning to think I'm on the wrong forum.  I'm lost.  If I had one of those phones that aren't connected to the wall, I'd call for help.

four door.........if you haven't already had your STD treated, forget about it now.

It will be full blown when you get back home and any treatment will be better than none.
