Oh yeah, for whatever reason, I did driver's ed at a public school not the one I went to.
I just got an email from my massage place about a discount on cupping, if you book during the Olympics. They are very entrepreneurial!
I already know what I'm gonna call her. Got a name all picked out...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

ION, there is a very fit young man on my patio with his shirt off.
Did someone sign you up for Beefcake of the Month?

That is entrepreneurial indeed, Jesse!
Is there only the one high school (the one she attends, which doesn't offer driver's ed)? Because if there's another high school that DOES offer driver's ed, maybe some kind of deal could be worked out for her to take it there?
That's what I had to do--my school stopped offering it so I had to take it through another nearby high school in the summer.
That said, if she's 18 she may just need to study the rules (no class needed) and ...isn't there anyone else who knows her and would let her learn on a rural road somewhere with no traffic??

(In my state(?) if you got some grade (A or B?) on an official drivers Ed course, you still had to take the written test but no driving test!! Otherwise you did both, but there were different rules for over 18 and under 18)

No driving test?!? I would have been even more of a menace on the roads than I was.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

He is my landscaper and he's about to lay a concrete walkway, and it's very hot.

That's what she's decided to do (for now): study the rules and then just get in her mom's old car and figure it out. She has no idea how hard this is going to be for her. She's prone to screaming meltdowns when frustrated. I think her mom is not going to agree to let her "just figure it out" on her old manual Subaru.
I need to step away and stop trying to help, but it's hard to listen to my BFF having her own little meltdowns over what to do with her problem child.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Huh. He's laying your walkway. Huh huh huh.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh. He's laying your walkway. Huh huh huh.
Layin that hard, hard concrete.

Heh.
Oh, lord, "just figure out" a manual transmission . . . Shudder.

Always Anti-fascist!
I do support people looking out for each other, but the problems are just too big for that to be enough.(also, I have a house payment *every* month, not just when someone like Tep's brother feels guilty at Christmas, right? Not to single out your brother.) "they said 'laid" huh huh huh.
