Ha the last time I did valet as I'm driving to the hotel I start trying to stuff the change from the console into a pocket and it hits me that A it's not likely the valet would risk his job over 3 buck in change and B if he did, I would be out only 3 dollars in change , I dumped it back in the console and it was still there when I got the car back.

Turner Syndrome (TS) is a condition that affects only girls and women. It is identified by a difference in the genetic make-up of those who are affected. Most girls and women have two complete X chromosomes (the sex chromosomes for females). Turner Syndrome is caused by the absence of all or part of the second X chromosome in some or all of the cells of the body.
