How adorable! What a sweet little dog! I have 3 very active kids. I'm not sure a nervous breed would be a good fit.

I was going to suggest this!

We cut our tree down at a Christmas tree farm. It had 2 praying mantis cocoons in it. The lady that checked us out told us to keep them outside and they'll 'hatch' or whatever they do in late spring. She told the kids how the first born eat the second round siblings. My son is stoked!

Weird...I edited before your post showed up but it doesn't say that I edited it.

I just got through to the traffic violations office. She said I need to pay my original ticket of $151 (they no longer do the 10% thing) immediately and they'll reinstate my license. I then need to come to my court date on 2/1 for the other two tickets. She said I'll meet w/ the prosecutor who will either dismiss my ticket for driving on a suspended license or will lower the charge. She said if I just pay it the BMV will suspend my license for 90 days and I'll have to pay the BMV to get them reinstated. She said since my driving record was clean other than this mess and especially since they had just been suspended and I wasn't aware of it yet she expects him to drop the driving on a suspended license charge. I'm really kicking myself. I'm thankful I have until February to take care of the rest of it, though. It gets a little tight around here during Christmas time.

Is it artificial or real?

:grouphug: I'm so sorry!!

I don't know anyone. The officer said I can get another court date. I may try that. I haven't been able to get through to the traffic offense office or whatever it's called. From the pamphlet given with the ticket, I think I'll owe $151 plus 10% for each month the original ticket was late, $151 for running the stop sign and another $151 for driving on a suspended license. I'm not sure if there are other costs to reinstate my license. Ugh....Stupid tax, as Dave Ramsey would call it.

They were suspended on 12/9 so I half expected something today but it didn't arrive. I was going to go pay the ticket today but I have a sick kid. I hope to go tomorrow.

I love this stuff: http://www.bigelowchemists.com/bigelow-mentha-lip-balm-stick-no-shine-spf-15-1600.html You can get it at Bath & Body Works. It is minty, though.

I wonder if the shaking and not yappy parts could be a sign that he's a puppy mill puppy.

This came across a homeschool loop I'm on and I'm considering looking at the puppy. Any thoughts?

I looked first and my pulling out didn't impact the oncoming cars. They didn't have to slow down or alter their course because I pulled out but having said that, I know I should have stopped.

It was more of a rolling stop thing. I slowed down as I approached the sign. I was pulling out from a side road onto a main road and there was a ton of cars coming on the main road so I didn't want to have to wait for them to pass. Waiting would have been quicker in this case.

I'm worried about that.

That's awful!

:grouphug: I'm so sorry.

I think I've learned my lesson. I need to slow down and quit running that one certain stop sign. I hate speed limits and stop signs. My 10 and 14 year old were with me and thought it was kind of cool. See...if they had been in school they would have never had that wonderful hands-on life lesson of being pulled over by a cop. Homeschooling opens up so many opportunities.

I need you to make me feel better about it. All my husband has been able to offer is laughter. I got a speeding ticket in June and forgot to pay it. I was pulled over for running a stop sign this afternoon and found out my license was suspended on 12/9. :eek: Holy crap!! The officer was nice. He didn't impound my car but I have a feeling this is going to cost a lot of money.

I think it looks good! You look very nice!!

A total 10 but I'm the paranoid type.

1st...right on time 2nd...right on time 3rd...2 weeks early

We're only about 2300 miles away. Will you meet halfway??

Thanks for the replies. I like the idea of building one myself. I looked at the measurements of the others and they seemed too small. She doesn't have special needs but she enjoys helping in the kitchen so that's why I thought she'd like the play kitchen.

But something caused him to Google that stuff in the first place.
