Unfortunately, I did - I had to tell her to stop speeding, she now has realized and will need to slow down for the time being as she has a point left before she can say good bye to her license :shock:

I had a friend in Sweden lose his license for a year after he was caught doing the equivalent of 120 mph in a 55 near Stockholm. He has since learned his lesson and hasn't received any traffic violations since, here or abroad.
 
One of my brothers was a real idiot. He got caught with a simple DWI. Lost his license for 1 year, got 3 days in jail, 1 year probation and 100 hours community service. Stupid idiot, managed to get another DWI 6 months or so later along with driving the wrong way on a one way road, driving with a suspended license, and breaking probation. He got another 5 days in jail, 4 years more revoked license, 4 more years of probation, 400 more hours on community service. He was also required to join AA. He did, got dried out and did well for 8 years. Started drinking again and under threat of his wife leaving him, he re-joined AA and has now been dry for 3-4 years.

I hope he will be able to stay sober. The alternative doesn't sound very good.

I hope he's able to stay sober as well. He's missed out on a lot over the years.

You would be surprised on what you miss out on as an alcoholic, I learned the hard way, sadly. But now I am recovered.
 
I learned that there are some honest car dealers out there.

But buying from a private party is still the best. :P

Give him the :whip:!
 
One of our local grocery stores (Winn Dixie) has these "Weekly Dinner Deals" that they do. Last week I got (with my saver card) a Stouffer's Italian Lasagna for $13.99 and got for free, the Pepperidge Farm Garlic Bread, Green Giant Veggies, a 2 liter of any Pepsi product and a 48oz container of Edy's ice cream. Have to wait until Wednesday (tomorrow) to find out what's up for this week.
 
I learned that I still can't pass my driver's test. I failed again...55 points this time. The last time I got 70 points. *SIGH* 3rd times the charm
 
Buy a moped? Dont have to have a license for that do you?

I don't see why not. I've already got some rock climbing/hiking equipment so I can use it for spelunking. just need couple of stuff like helmet.
 
souggy said:
Stellar.

Didn't know you're into rock-climbing too.

I'm not INTO rock climbing but I ventured in it. Spelunking seems more appealing to me. I'm old fart now.
 
I'm just glad that I don't have claustrophobia and nyctophobia

They might not let you in closed mines; besides they are not natural caves and prolly dangerous.

I'm sure they fixed it up for it :dunno:

I'll have to do some research
