Nicole's bf said that it is a basic trade in, no written automatically necessary, but I forgot to ask if I got instant license or not.
I'll encourage mom to go get hers and have her be my guinne pig informant.
It's all about the coat.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Liv's doing much better. Doctor said it's probably viral and looks like it's in her throat, as well. We'll buy more popsicles and children's tylenol and keep an eye on it. She and Owen are presently playing quietly with some playdoh.
Uh, cut that "quietly" part. They're fighting over the hot pink. *sigh* I hate taking them both into the doctor's office at the same time. It makes me a frazzled, crazed looking idiot.

Raq, I continue with the WTF and the jaw-dropping gall of these people. I hope their new tenants sue their asses.
In other, more pleasant news, we got some Harry & David pears as thank you gifts from our house guests and I pronounce them YUM!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I did have to take the written
Every state I've be re-licensed in has required a written exam: Tennessee, Oklahoma, Alabama, Illinois. I don't know about Colorado because that was where I got my license at 16, so of course I had the written and driving tests.

NY didn't require retaking the written since my CT license was still valid. NY mailed you the license, but they would show you the photo on the spot and let you retake it if you didn't like the first one.
I never got a MD license despite living there 2 years (I didn't own a car so I figured they couldn't really do much about it). California made me retake the test, but it was pretty easy with a bit of review of specific things (like parking on hills).

When I went to get my new DC license, they SHREDDED the old one right in front of me! It was so sudden! I didn't get to say goodbye to the kickass picture!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Feel better, Liv. And don't make Cash break out the Mommy Juice Boxes.
IOW, I'm not about to laugh at you.Nah, I am used to it. My dad was both amused and kinda offended when I told him. Something about the fact I'd done some driving (of the race-y vroom kind) schooling and then failed my test.
The written is barely about driving, it's about little rules. But now I know that the default speed limit in a business zone is lower than the default residential... Oh, and if I hit a bear, I have to report it to the police.
They also did two pictures because the lady didn't like the first one. The paper printed out with a bar code and picture and everything. Actual came in the mail a few days later. Barring flunking the test the first time and wanting to whither from the embarrassment, easy peasy.

MA didn't require me to take the written.
We just had dinner, and my anxiety attack seems to be calming down, so maybe I don't need a new day after all.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
In NC, everyone has to take the written, and it's a constant refrain from new arrivals that they (a) failed the first time and (b) didn't think you'd have to study for such a thing once you'd been driving for a while. IOW, I'm not about to laugh at you.
Ack. So then what do they do with all the abandoned cars in the lot?
(I knew someone who failed the driving portion for some stupid thing when changing states - at the time in WI you had to retake both - and since they'd already taken her Illinois license her husband had to come pick her up, drive her home, and then come back for the other car since she was no longer licensed anywhere. Yikes.)

Yeah, I'm glad I didn't have to take a written test here in WA! But I was very surprised they gave me a paper license and then mailed me the real one. In DC (which I tend to think of as being kinda backward, for some reason) they give it to you right then. In Virginia, too, I think.
Raq, sounds like they're desperate--can't you just say "Sure--promise us our deposit AND the half month rent, you pay for the cleaning, and you've got a deal, keys are yours" They may go for it if they're desperate for the tenant they've got in hand to be happy. Your stuff is out, right? It's just a matter of getting the place cleaned?
