Well . . . . my first speeding ticket here in South Carolina went well. (I've only been here 3 months)
I got it reduced from $185 to $130 . . . . and no points on my license!
And . . . . no, they can't install signs that say reduced speed ahead!
I tried!

Well, it's still early November, teeecchhnically -- so I always get really giddy at the First Signs -- I even took pictures on November 1st, of the candy aisle in the grocery store being transformed. Somewhat giddy, somewhat disbelieving. The lights don't get turned on yet, but as soon as they do I'm sure I'll be squealing & bouncing around.
Same with at work -- there will be many pictures. We put stockings up, Christmas trees and lights -- it's a very warm feeling. I'm very excited. :]]]
The psych eval is required, and sometimes they withhold treatment .. or make it very difficult for me. Like when I go in for meds, instead of letting me have them, they'll make me sit in a waiting room for six hours and wait for the evaluation first .. THEN give me the meds. I'm treading on thin ice. It's part of going through a very public .. service .. kind of place. I don't know what I'm trying to say. Kind of a clinic that works with a hospital, in the city. Restriction, restriction.
And yes -- that's exactly what I felt like. I fully expected someone to flick a paper football at my head. ;]

Oh, and that's sweet about the pit. I've been trying to explain to my ex that they are sweet and affectionate, .. but he doesn't want to get near one. Why? "Because I'd expect it to rip my face off." Except when we were little, it was rots & dobermans.. It's all just the trend in what we want to train for the effect. But yes -- I love this face. :]]]
All new stuff . . . new address . . . new drivers license . . new registration . . . new license plates . . . new phone numbers . .
Its official y'all . . . . . . . I am now a South Carolinian!

Hello!
This is a prefabricated message (definitely copy pasted) to say thank you for leaving a comment on my new set. I would totally write you something sweet and personal but unfortunately I have laundry to do and dogs to feed... and....
Yeah, ok. I'm just lazy
Thank You!

I don't know why they are but you are right, they are. I had a friend who used to say that if you could put the soul of a dog in to the body of a man she would marry it in an instant. I'm starting to think she had a point.
Good luck with the move.

Well . . . . Its Official! Twelve more days, and Florida is in my rear view mirror!

I got a call yesterday afternoon, from a musician friend. "Foreigner wants us to be their guest at a concert tonight, including back-stage passes, want to go? Ha! Does the Pope shit in the woods? I'm there baby!
So, the concert turned out to be three groups - Blue Oyster Cult, Foreigner, and Styx.

How many wives have you had?!
Time for some time off!
My son is coming down from Charlotte today . . . . we're going to spend the next few days diving, and hopefully catching some lobsters. Yum!
Sooo . . . I won't be on here, until next Monday - 8/28.
Love to all of you!

Thanks for the lovely comment on my set!
If I borrow from my own writings . . is it still plagiarism? Nah! Of course not!

No, he's never had anything like that happen before, and his blood pressure is 110% good if one thing can indicate another.
I'm convinced it was a bad combination of substances and a week of VERY little sleep, VERY long, VERY hard hours, and a little overheating. He can be fierce as a hawk sometimes, but he is actually a fragile little sparrow when it comes to how his body handles things like temperature, food, substances, sunlight, the elements, etc. He's my gentle little baby.

this is a week old reply so im sorry if you've forgotten what im referring too! (see: your comment in my last journal about the advice of whether i shuold tell my friend about the rumour)... basically it wouldn't UPSET him if i didn't tell him, and i think that he would take it out on me, "shoot the messanger" so to speak. for now im staying well out of it. but we'll see what happens
Retrospective
I borrowed this from a recent comment I posted in someone's journal . . . .
The nuns in grammar school knew I didn't fall for their shit, and as a result I wasnt their favorite kid. I always saw through all the horse shit when I was growing up . . . and pretty much took my own path, even though that choice...

Aarrghh! Its unbearably hot here!
The temperature is in the 90s . . . and so's the humidity!
If you try to do anything outdoors . . . . you're covered with sweat in less than 5 minutes. Ugh!
I took the bike out for a ride Saturday . . . . and even with all that wind . . I was soaked with sweat....

I didn't realize how hot it was until they took the handcuffs off and opened up the steel doors. It was like "Welcome to hell"...
query:
Period from hell seems to finally be letting up, so that's good. I was looking back at an old argument I had about how great older men were and I seem really defensive and desperate to prove a point. Not so desperate anymore, because I'm sure there a lot of cases it doesn't work out for. More and more it is very clear that our age is not a big factor in the relationship at all.
Anyway, yeah, too many sets to keep up with, tell me about it. I'm so glad to hear about your new bike! What color is it? What year? I'm dying to ride my bicycle for 100 miles, but I'm out of shape because I broke a rib mountain biking about a month ago and it still isn't 100% healed, and I had to stay off of long rides until last week or so. Plus then monster period took away so much blood I- once again- couldn't ride for lack of blood and heavy breathing.
I'm back on track now though, and today is my day off from work. I have a lot of housework and a good ride to get in.
