Oh no! Not THAT bus driver again!!
l
I don't think it's a driver... sm
I think the BP may stand for the gas (fuel) associated with NASCAR.
bus driver
The bus driver could be some freak who wants to do something bad. We get our mail delivered by the same person every day, seems nice enough but I don't REALLY know him. I wouldn't trust him to know my child was home alone, same with bus driver, or neighbors unless I knew them extremely well or did the same for their kids. You can't trust anyone these days. Look how many people KNOW the person who does something horrible to them or their family members.
Well, as an ex-school bus driver...
Shut Up and Hold On!
New teenage driver
I am getting ready to add my 15 year old daughter to my car insurance, can anyone give me a ball park figure of how much my insurance will go up, has anyone done this recently that can tell me how much yours increased? Thanks in advance. The car she will be driving is about 7 years old but I think I have to also add my van?
Teen driver
I made my son pay his own tickets as well. He might have had a couple, total, but he soon learned. He's 21 now.
Wow! Did you know that your driver's license is sm
on the web? Thanks to homeland security. Check to see if yours is uploaded and on the net! You will not believe this!!!

Your regular bus driver
desires a poinsetta or something. It's good to reward good service.
teen driver
When my daughter got her license I gave her my older vehicle and she was responsible for gas and insurance. She paid for her repairs, but I helped if they were very high. My insurance agent told me to put her on her own policy so I would not get sued if she had an accident and my rates would not be affected by her driving record. By her living in my home she was able to get my discounts, ie., two car discount, different safety features on her vehicle, and home being insured. This was a wise choice as she had two small accidents within a year and is now paying high risk and my rates didn't change, but my insurance would have gone from $300 to $2600 every six months if she were on my policy. She hated having to pay since all her friends' parents were footing the whole bill, but now in college she appreciates it because she knows how to pay bills and budget her money while her friends are always bouncing checks or calling mom and dad for money.
Taxi Driver...
"You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me?"
I was curious about the driver saying
I have them both in the car. I understand the mob wanting to get rid of David but why Sabrina. Wonder if further on down the road there will be a twist and she won't really be dead, Like after Vic and Niki get back together. Hmmmmmm! Makes you think!
What does the bus driver knowing have to do with this? nm

Yes the bus driver could be a molester - sm
but doubtful. If your school is anything like mine ALL employees are carefully screened. I am a substitute bus driver and talk about red tape. I had to get finger-printed with the local police, have a criminal background check, drug and alcohol tested, as well as a very long application and a physical exam in order to get hired for the school. (as well as a 48-hour training course and of course had to pass my bus driving test at the DMV). So in theory the driver is a "safe" person, unless they just have never been caught. The group I work with are all great women (30+ of us), there are no male bus drivers here except the mechanics who sub when they have too. Just educate your child to tell you if their caregiver does anything strange , or touches them, etc, I have drilled it into my kids heads as my DH is convinced that whenever they stay over a friends house that the father/boyfriend is a child molester. It is a wonder my kids ever get to go anywhere.
The MC driver was not to bright to be - sm
driving with headphones/ear buds on is not responsible driving on a motorcycle. He is lucky he got his money back at all.....you'd think you would be more careful wtih that kind of cash on you.
Considered being the driver instead of the passenger?
I too have RLS. I have found that for some reason I do much better as the driver than as a passenger. Can't explain it but it's true.
My husband is a truck driver too. . .
We got married when he was in his early 30s, so he had a hard time changing his lifestyle. He spent all of his free time with his single friend. I never, ever worried about the two of them going to bars or anything. Their idea of a good time was having a couple beers and talking about tractors. His friend is a farmer, so he has a lot of free time in the winter. Sometimes I think my husband felt bad because they spent so much time together before I came along and then all of the sudden, things changed. His friend is in his late 30s and had never been married or had kids. After I had been dating my husband for about a year, his friend went to an online dating service and found a girlfriend. He was very shy, so that was a big deal! That was 3 years ago, and they are engaged now. My husband doesn't see him so much now, but they talk daily on the phone. We also moved about 30 minutes away. We have neighbors that he likes to spend time with, but he tries to keep it to just the weekend. Also, my husband gets very stressed driving in the winter and needs to relax once in a while. Does your husband's friend have a girlfriend? If he doesn't, maybe you could introduce him to some of your girl friends. He might just be lonely. I know it's hard for you to be sitting home when your husband is hanging out with his friend. I told my husband once that I felt like a single mom! I think you do need to let your husband know how you feel. Good luck to you!
Question about uninsured driver?
If you know that someone is driving without insurance, has been for several years, and doesn't plan to change any time soon.....
And, they are an alcoholic who makes runs while under the influence to pick up more whiskey.....
Is there anyone an average citizen can report the uninsured (insurance is required in this state) to?
Or, do we have to wait until they hit someone or something and it is discovered?
In California, it comes from driver's licenses...
because they don't want to discourage people from registering to vote.
Sounds to me like you need to reinstall the sound DRIVER. (sm)
If you need help on where to locate the link to do this, email me.
Here is another truck driver's wife's view
My husband was older than yours when he (and I) married. He was 49, first marriage. We spend a tremendous amount of time together, he even has his computer setup in my workroom. When he wants downtime, he has his own room for his guitar strumming and then a real stay-around type person. I love the time we are together so don’t know what to say to the original poster but not much of a marriage there if no time left over for wife.
Obviously you've never had a family member killed by a drunk driver.
Long ago? Time has nothing to do with it. The man has an alcohol problem and left the scene of a homicide. Sounds like you're ok with that. I'm not. It speaks volumes about his character.
Thanks for clarifying.
I was thinking as well when went outside that the dog just may have to bite him, but if he doesn't fight back. My best guess is for you to start pushing his buttons. Whatever your DS likes to do, don't let him do it and tell him until he can be nice to the dog, he can have that privilege back. You could also remind him that it is against the law to be cruel to animals. He could go to jail.
Clarifying shampoos sometimes help......and.....sm
I have that problem too -- had it all my life.
I started bleaching my hair a few years ago and it sure keeps me from having to wash it every day now.
I notice when I have started to "grow it out" and my roots are long -- it gets oily fast still -- and I'm in my 60s now. I guess "oily" never goes away, LOL.
You don't have to have BLONDE hair -- just the coloring process keeps the oil under control and you can put toner on it or I just put some chunks of a deeper blonde all through it like doing a paint brush so it looks like I'm a "beach blonde", ha ha.
Good luck.
Clarifying my suggestion
Jut to clarify, I did not mean sympathy card. The suggestion of a card or letter was because she is not accepting phone calls right now. So, whatever you would have said in the way of encouragement and support on the phone could be put in a letter.
I did not even use the word sympathy in my post. I did use the word empathy which is different. Empathy means putting yourself in her place and trying to feel what she might be feeling right now. In the card or letter you could then express what you yourself would like to hear if you were in the same situation. That is all I meant. Sorry it came across as a pity party kind of suggestion. I didn't mean it that way in the least.
OTOH, you know your friend, and the empathy you feel may cause you to just wait it out a while and try again. You of course are thinking of what will benefit her because you care. Whatever you decide can work because it comes out of genuine concern for her welfare.
