Oh, Peach - you are so funny!

Well, I don't think I'll be returning to DragonCon unless its as a volunteer and I get in free. Didn't get to see but 2 of the 9 shows I wanted to see. Lines too long, not very organized. They have to know how many will fit in these rooms and be able to cut the line off but this seems beyond them. Costumes were interesting, saw some really good one and some really bad. Amazing to me how many folks are comfortable with public nudity. Guys should NEVER NEVER wear 1 piece stretch jumpsuits in public. NEVER!

What's wrong with them? They are my go to outfit. I been wearing one every day to work since last month. Come to think of it, I haven't had a visitor to my office in about a month......

I hate the Tuesday after Labor Day because we have to wear suits again. No more summer dress code. It's 95 out and I have a rag tied around my neck and my collar buttoned.

"The Neverending Story" (1984) is back in theaters.

::stuffs unitard back into gym bag::

There are additional posts in the "Horse Barn HMDA" thread. Brings me enjoyment.

Freak gets around the whole "in public" thing by jumping out of cakes only at private parties.

Wow today is becoming a very frustrating day!

Agreed Soccer today has started out very FRUSTRATING!!! Am so hoping the rest of the day calms down BIG TIME!!!!!

So the sate of IL is trying to shake me down for some cash.
They sent me a notice saying I did not pay some tolls a month ago and now they want over 250 bucks because of the fines that came with me not paying. The violations take place over 5 days and some times on the same road going the same direction with in minutes of each other. I was in the state 3 of those 5 days and they sent me a grainy photo of my plate that "proves" the 14 violations. So I asked them to send me the evidence for the other 13 violations they claim to have photo evidence for but did not yet produce but here is the rub. They sent the notice last week Friday and I had until Monday night to pay or ask for a court hearing or they would make a summery ruling against me and revoke my drivers license. lol

Still waiting to hear back from my request they produce the photos.

Dear State of IL

Due to your negligence in producing evidence of violation and in violation of my due process protected by the US constitution. I regret to inform you that I have petitioned to court to attach you bank account in the amount of 5 million dollars. In addition I have enclosed a copy of a C&D that you will be receiving soon that limits you ability to scam other motorists driving in your fine state.

As I am now a multi millionaire please forward an apology along with my new drivers license to the beach (or mountain) of my choice.

Best regards.

They need all the money they can get! They're broke!

Is that still a thing?

"Want a copy of mine?"

only if you use it as a political weapon.

It's the number one contributor to the sale of Wite-Out.

You can't just drive through the toll booth, Wolfy. Three times within a few minutes in the same direction. Well, duh, we have more than one toll booth on the toll road. If you keep going, you're going to rack up a bunch of tolls. Now pay up or keep out. We're teetering on the edge of bankruptcy.

"Upon your third violation within a 24-month period, a violation notice may be issued and fines assessed for all three unpaid tolls.
To the extent allowable by the laws of your state, failure to pay tolls or satisfy any fine or penalty imposed by the Tollway may result in suspending the driving privileges, vehicle registration or both of the person failing to satisfy the fines or penalties and other sanctions as provided by law."

Now, we can work this out and I can help you. Go to Home Depot and get gift cards in the amount of the fines. Let me know when you have them, and I'll PM my PO Box, and you'll be all clear.

Cant you guys just issue made up multi million CMP's to banks in your state like the rest of the country?

I just looked at the Enforcement Actions for the FDIC in July 2016. There were a total of 21 - and 9 of these were the removal of people from banking. Wow!

we should all be so lucky........

I once received a summons for an unpaid parking ticket that resulted in about $200 in fines from a town that I've never been to. They had my license number and were telling me it was on an illegally parked Dodge truck (I drove a Ford at the time) on a specific date and time. I had all kinds of documented proof - access control logs at work and video surveillance for the time periods in question but the district attorney in that town insisted that I would have to travel there (a three hour drive) to defend myself. I eventually had to obtain a letter from a local judge to get me off the hook.

That being said, I have blown through a toll booth (accidentally) while driving a bank vehicle. The state sent the bank a notice that I owed the toll and since it was a first offense, there was no fine.

What are these tolls you speak of? Perhaps you meant to write trolls? We don't have trolls out here either but we do have roads.

Send them a copy of Adam Sandler's "Toll Booth Willie" and don't warn them about the foul language.

I know many of you, like me, can't watch Youtube at work, but maybe log in to this tonight, or just google Blazing Saddles Toll Booth.
