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.
Wash: I didn't think you were one for rituals and such. Mal: I'm not, but it'll keep the others busy for a while. No reason to concern them with what's to be done.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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?

Ah. Am home with cat, husband, and TiVo. We picked basil from the garden and made pesto. So satisfying.

Suzi, in Colorado they do make your license while you wait. And as a bonus, you can renew in the future online (with the same old picture.)

I renewed online for several years. The next time I renewed after 9/11, I had to go in person and they made me get a new photo.

Cash, I'm glad to hear Liv is doing better. I hope Owen stays healthy.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
According to Phoebe on Friends, lobsters mate for life. Thus, when you've found the person you want to be with for life, you've found your lobster. (Actually, it turns out, lobsters don't mate for life.)
OTOH, shingleback lizards do mate for life. [link] So feel free to search for your shingleback.

You've already been through the worst part, the moving out on short notice, so I see no downside to being a hardass now.

so, we all know that Mormons are hot, right? This guy got excommunicated from the Mormon church for creating a calendar of Mormons called "Men on a Mission". In case anyone's interested it's here: [link]
