I think my daughter just got a ticket for that.
What's legal in FL for tinting, where her car is licensed, is not legal in NY state, where she goes to college, and where totalitarianism is more embedded.

No way for her to have known, either, at least not easily.

A friend of mine got a radar detector for Christmas that also detects laser. Apparently it also alerts him to traffic jams ahead, so he can take an alternate route.

I suppose it has GPS in it too, as well as some kind of radio transceiver.

I hope! I'm still stressin'. And honestly, I probably shouldn't be going. But at this point I'd be out the plane costs and all that anyway, so I might as well hope for the best.

Now...to write the pet instruction sheet. And do a couple more loads of laundry so we have clean blankets to bring.

If you do nothing but sit on the beach the entire time, it'll be GREAT! Don't forget your suit for the heated pool!

I feel terrible.

I don't think it matters whether you've "brought any of this on yourself." IMO, there is no place in scouting for the kind of bitchy behavior that you seem to be describing on the part of the den mother or den bitch or whoever that lady is.

There are ways to exert discipline or run a tight ship, or whatever, with repect for the kids or the crew. It's part of what scouting is all about. I think.

Yes, you should be going, it'll be fun.

You had a cool part in the ROTK movie.

My younger siblings have heard that there's a pool table. Between anime and pool, I don't think I'll be able to DRAG them from the Castle for the week...

At least it will be warm there! Check out our forecast:

And those numbers don't include windchill - it's been breezy!

Well, that's kinda what we thought too, when we got in to it.

I dunno...there is fault on both sides, but I did apologize. If you recall, I felt terrible that we missed that bear carving day. I felt terrible for Matthew's sake, because he would have loved it. I sure didn't need any more guilt heaped on me!

We tried to make it up. We're Christians...we don't ask for things we don't deserve. We don't lie about things that we didn't do (thus Matthew promptly admited Steve had helped him, knowing no wrongdoing had been done.) To be accused of underhandedness by someone who is supposed to be a fellow Christian just burns me up. (Letting off steam here...)

Just keep rubbin' it in! LOL

Like I say...if you can't afford any of the sights, don't GO to any of them! Just basking on the beach is gonna be heavenly for you and the good company will be enough.

What I mean is...I've brought a lot of this on myself.

Don't say that 2J. Sometimes we carry responsibility so far it gives others a tool to use against us. Not everyone is as honorable as you. This lady is taking advantage of your honor and demonstrating unacceptable behavior. Certainly it takes finesse to handle situations like that. And now might not be the time to address it. But, it does need to be addressed. I kinda agree with you that maybe this one is for Steve to take up. If he will.

Finesse...LOL Elves know of finesse, but what would I, a shieldmaiden of Rohan, know of finesse? And Steve the Dwarf??

ROFLOL!!

I know, I know...I'm waiting to see what the Lord has planned...usually a solution is found if I don't hack any heads off while I'm waiting! LOL

Hm...I think I'm getting towards packed. But I'm emotionally messed up today. Not your fault...you're just giving me an outlet!

It will be better tomorrow Rosie!!! I can't wait to see you!!! :-)

At least I got the pet care sheet done.

Phew. Now...laundry.

And maybe a nap, if I can sleep, which I doubt. Too nervous and excited!

Maybe you need to use a quick powerful 2 edged sword.

I had to take a nap this afternoon before school. I was way too buzzed to sleep at 5 this morning. So, I just went ahead and got up. After I had that pedicure and ate some lunch, I wasn't near so wired! LOL

Okay, settle down.

Breathe. Just breathe. That's the key.
