Host ,'Why We Fight'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I'm so confused right now because I rcv'd a bill from a law office stating that I owed $30 each for two parking violations from... 1996!! EIGHT YEARS AGO! By now there's no way I can find any proof of whether I paid them (or not). Is that even legal?
We got letters from acollection agency about a ticket S had already paid. She had to in order to get her registration renewed. There were some terse words had on the phone with the LA parking bureau.
Thanks, sj. From what I can tell, it looks like there isn't a statute of limitations for outstanding parking tickets. Of course, prior knowledge of the tickets seems like such a small thing to ask. So much for extra play money this month.
If you even suspect that you've paid it, Nicole, call them and try to convince them of that.
The bitch about coming in to work at 5am, is that after working 4.5 hours, it is now only 9:30. While my day is over half done, lunch time is eons from now and y'all have made me hungry.
Thankfully (or not) the snack machine of calories and preservatives is empty.
I tried that, Sean. Denver won't handle any of it over the phone. All disputes have to be made in person or typed up and sent to a PO Box.

I hear ya. I'm never sure whether to be happy or not when the vending machine runs out of those little chocolate donuts, MG. They're like CRACK!
Nicole, you can dispute the tickets. The chances of the police officer showing up to prove the parking violation are slim to none. (Or you might be able to do it over the phone, which would be even better, since I'd honestly rather just pay the $30 than waste a day going to court over it.)
Nicole - find out if your state DMV requires tickets to be paid to renew your regitration as we do in California. If so, then use that in your letter.
I should learn not to underestimate how helpful a total breakdown can be. My therapist was good today, and I just total let go of all of the stuff that has been building up this month. Nothing got solved, but I feel a little better. I also finally called and made an appointment to make up my exam for tomorrow. Right now I am having a doughnut and a hot chocolate and watching Welcome to the Hellmouth.
sj, it sounds like a good release.
Lordy, please spare me any more public patrons who want the Anna Nicole Smith case explained to them. Especially the ones who believe they're entitled to some of the money. KTHXBYE!
Ha! perhaps that is where I got the "cheery yellow" bit.
My brain didn't immediately go there, but it did immediately know what you were quoting.
No. That's exactly where my mind went too. Just the fact that Vortex described the construction equipment as being a cheery yellow made me smile wide.
Whew.
...
Interesting. Pride ourselves on our "uniqueness," but never want the answer to "is it just me?" to be "Yes." Hmmmmmm.

Noooo! Or yay! Tricky.
Nothing got solved, but I feel a little better.
Glad that you at least feel a bit less weight on your shoulders.

Sounds like an excellent start.

Um, huh?
