I won't let my kids ride with inexperienced drivers.

On the other hand, my sister just let her daughter drive a 300 mile round trip with friends and no parental supervision. My niece has had her license for less than 4 months and is only 15 years old. The parent is trying to be the "friend" instead of enforcing rules.
FWIW, the only car accident I was involved in was with a girl who only had her license for three days. She didn't use turn signals or her brakes, just geared down and decided to stop on a 55 mph two-lane right in front of me with oncoming traffic.

My sis routinely makes the 6 hr car ride home to visit with her three kids and has since they

Is she totally inexperienced? sm
I think that sounds generous, assuming that you are going to need to go over all of her work for quite some time. I hope she does well and it all works out for both of you. It is really hard for new people to find the kind of paid internship you are offering. Let us know how it goes, please.
16 year old drivers
In our state you have to be 16-1/2 to get your license and for the first six months you cannot have anyone under 18 in your vehicle unless there is a 21 year old driver or older sitting in the front passenger seat and you also cannot drive from midnight until 5:00 a.m., as they believe 16-1/2 year old kids get in many crashes. I think this is a good law, especially with all the kids racing around, talking on the phone etc, but adults do this also. I think when they are younger they tender to lose their concentration on the road (not all but some), talking with friends, etc, so this law makes sense to me. My sons were older when they first got their license and I am glad. They both went through driver's education, but even that has changed and they want the parents to take their children out on the road more and more each year, which is a good thing if you can handle that. I could, so it was okay with me. Every one knows their child's maturity and being on the road is a scarey thing for all parents.
Gee, don't know :o(. Have you installed all drivers?
I don't have an Ativa. I wish I could help!
Texas drivers
I live in TX and have never heard of this. Have ins through AAA, just renewed last month in fact. No mention of this. Where did you get your quote?
You're welcome. Most sites will have the drivers
available for download, whether it is a printer or digital camera. Sometimes it takes a bit of looking to find it though.
Where I live, lots of nonlicensed drivers
in this state, heard 1 out of 10 this morning and if and until I hear a big part are actually legal and licensed, am not worrying this "pretty head" as my mother used to put it. I am really not as worried about his as I would be with this type of work UNLESS I were a lot younger and having to have a really good income. I have my time in, he is younger and still has his time to work but not worried about his job. It is one of the bigger companies on our roads and I think if legal and GOOD driving record, anyone else could hire on. Our jobs are the ones that we know are going elsewhere....
Well it said there are no drivers or anything else and I have no idea about loading a driver.
It works fine in DQS so I dont know about this. I guess I will just forget the job because it is a very long test and to do it with key controls is horrible.
Texas drivers ~ insurance by the mile....
Have any of you heard of this? It is auto insurance charged by the miles driven. I got a quote online for myself and it is very reasonable for me but not for the 17-yo.

I just checked on HP website, and it says all drivers/software is up-to-date.

Hi Amanda from WV (I once lived in Morgantown!). No drivers to download, has a USB optical device.

ride
What color - I saw a light purple one here in the boondocks and it was gorgeous....Odd, but gorgeous...
I ride my own
I got my license about 5 years ago. I took the training course and passed. I started riding on a Honda 500 and then went to my now bike, a Yamaha V-Star 650 and I love it. I've met so many nice people and have made so many new friends over the years. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions.
I ride
Got my license a few years ago. If your school is like mine, you ride nothing over a 250. But I have a 650 now and love it!!
Wow, what a ride!
I just read your story and she and the baby are so darned lucky! It is downright creepy how people can get away with saying they are something, even provide legit-looking documentation, yet are completely corrupt. I'd certainly be making a call to my Attorney General's office with her name, address, and all the info they have on her.
Please pass along my congratulations and hope mom is back on her feet and feeling better soon!
What does Pimp My Ride mean??
Pimpin yo ride
It you had it to do again (being a teen with a hooty of your choice) what ridge would you pimp out. I am a child of the 70-80s so mine would be an 82 IROC camaro. Rim it out and the sparkly black paint. Mild tint.
my best ride still is a 4-legged one.

he's getting a free ride
Why would the mooch want to move out? Basically, he gets a free ride until shove him out the door. You haven't done anything wrong. This guy will continue to take advantage of this for as long as you let him get away with it. Been there. Done that.
My pimpin' ride is out in the garage.
It's a 1968 Ford Mustang. I had a mechanic friend build me a racing motor and transmission so I can race it at the car shows. It's going to be way more cherry than my Mercury Cougar ever was. I picked up some chrome Cragar wheels for it. The paint was going to be blue, but blue Mustangs are so cliche. I picked out a really wild, feminine metallic color and ghost flames for it. It's going to be a girlie car with an attitude. 
ya gotta know what Pimp My Ride is
If you have teens, young adults (especially boys) and be able to carry on a conversation with them on a subject they like. The kids hanging around here are always talking about it. So, I actually watched the show one day and it's wild what they can do to a regular car
There's no such thing as a free ride.
The only person making money off that guy's book is him. You can't make big bucks doing next to nothing. Anyone who tells you that you can is scamming you. Never pay for any job, kit, startup, information or anything.
I've done secret shopping. It's a pain in the backside and works out to $10 per hour or less. I've sold on ebay but couldn't find wholesalers willing to give a decent rate to a small potatoes client. I've looked into those real estate investor/house flipper programs, but that only works if you've got capital to lay down, a decent credit score and a good housing market. I've purchased every secret book and plan that's out there, but they're all lame. No useful information whatsoever.
The only way to make decent money is through education and hard work.
Yup...friends of ours think I am getting a "free ride"
I guess this means I sit at a computer "pretending" to work and get a "fake" paycheck. In my opinion, I feel that people who make these comments are truly jealous. In my case, they don't see how I can work and tend to my daughter's needs. I take her to pre-school and dance. I'm sorry for those that don't have this luxury, but if you continue getting comments like that, just turn the other way and ignore it. You know you work your tail (and fingers) off for your paycheck just like they do. That's all that matters.
Anyone ride motorcycle, have your license, etc.
I've decided to get my motorcycle license, already passed my permit test and am starting to learn to ride. I don't know yet if I'm going to learn on a 350 or a 650, but am starting to get excited. My state offers a weekend course where you go both days for instruction and training and give your license all in one weekend. My dad loved motorcycles, my sons both have motorcycles, and now it's my turn. So, satisfy my curiosity, anyone else have this interest?
Well, that's all folks. All gifts have been given. It's been a wild ride

Read the part about it being a little late in the ride
to be changin' horses!
I nearly suffered heat stroke taking a bike ride in 105 degrees.

Ok, I invite you to hop on a bicycle for 15 mile ride in below freezing weather, snow, ice, etc.

Do little kids like caramel? My big kids won't even eat it! We make the basic Baker's chocolat

Any plans for Mother's Day? Hubby is taking me on a wine & dinner train ride.

I never said you shouldn't have kids! Feeling guilty? I asked WHY you had kids.
You clearly stated in your post that you ship the kids off to camp all day, and they're TIRED AT NIGHT!! You know exactly what you said. You said it as a PERK - AS IN GREAT! They're gone all day, it wears them out, and so I shovel dinner in their mouths and off to bed! You can try to paint it any way you want, but YOU SAID IT. Again, I only hope your kids never hear you speak that way or write that way. Shame on you. Why have kids at all? Just another parent who has them, gets rid of them for day AND night, BRAGS ABOUT IT, and then calls ME wicked! Give me a break! Camp is fine - its WHAT YOU SAID AND YOU KNOW IT. Your own words showed your heart. Period.
Check your USB drivers. The printer works off the printer driver. The pedal needs a joystick
driver in order to work. You have to configure your USB port for this.
Kids are demanding and so is MT work. My question is how CAN you do this with kids, rather than how
When you have two young kids, 11 months apart, (like I stated they are now 4 and 5) and have been doing this since they were born with no help from their father and no family around, YES, the kids get neglected. Part time might work but living on one salary, part time, is not an option. How can you possible tell me that anyone with two young kids can stay at home and work a full-time, 8-hour shift, and still give their kids the attention they NEED. I dont care how good you are at multitasking and how great your organizational skills are. It is a very difficult thing to do. And I am offended by your post making it sound as if it is easy to do.
I do agree that it can depend on how well your kids behave and how well they are able to play on their own. But my kids were not able to play well on their own. They needed constant attention.
So please take the time to realize that there are people out there in different situations than your own.
Reading our posts should help you to understand that everyone has a different situation. I believe everyone should have the right to shares their experiences as it might benefit the original poster in her questions and concerns.
I dont think anyone should be bashed for taking the time out to write about their experiences. I dont usually come on here to argue but you really ticked me off with your post. And try reading the post correctly. I said next time around I would have put them in day care. What I DID do with them was set them up to an activity like art or put on a movie for them. Geez.
Stayed "because of the kids?" I say "leave because of the kids"
You're in no position to buy right now. Keep saving, keep paying down your bills, and for heaven's sake get rid of that dead weight of a BF you're living with. You can do better.
So, should I return the $75 (x2 kids) in music cards I got the kids for x-mas...sm
My son has been telling me about free music sites and I was very leary. How do they skirt the law Radguy?
I don't have kids, but my Mom was from the "old school," and still had everyone, kids inclu
call her by her first name. The little neighbor girl next door from the time she could speak called her Aggie (my mom's first name), and they were great buddies until the day my mom pased away.
I don't think there really is much in a name, but more in the respect you are given and the way you are treated. Personally, I kind of cringe inside when someone calls me Ms. Anything or God forbid, "maam" (makes me feel like Methuselah!) ... I'm always just plain Merrie. :-)
But, as someone pointed out, to each his own. If you want to be addressed a certain way, you have that right, and people should respect that. I'm glad you corrected the child ... hope it "sticks." 
Please do not simply give up, kids or no kids!
Talk with a professional. This can be worked through if he really puts forth the effort and you participate. The right counseling can truly make your marriage even better than it was before, if BOTH parties are willing to be honest. Give it a try. Nothing to lose at this point and everything to gain!
No I said thank God I do not have kids
I think the wrong point is being taken here. Yes he does not worry about money and is used to that. I am afraid of not making ends meet if I stop working my day job and I refuse to stop working either MT jobs as we all know it takes a lot of education to make it.
I am my kids mom
My children are lucky to have their mother taking care of them, not a stranger. I work my butt of taking care of my kids and have made many sacrifices to be able to live this life of working PT and being a full time mother. I know that I am my kids mom.
I know that it must be hard for you to look at your kids and tell them that you don't want them to be with you everyday. The sacrifices could be made.
Thank God you have no kids. NM

How much can you get done with 2 kids?
I haven't done transcription for a few years and would like to get back in. My question is--if you don't mind me asking--how many lines a week can you get done with kids? Is 1000 reasonable or way out there? I have 5 kids, but 3 of them will be in school during the day and the other two nap...any advice?
For kids
Tacos, as son to work and daughter off too, and me and hubby home made wedding soup, ummm ummm good, and sweet italian sausage on hard rolls, not stale, just good.
28 WF, M, 2 kids. nm

Kids come first for both of us, then each other, I don't think I'd want a man who
and catering to me constantly. I like the fact that he does all the cooking, and most of the grocery shopping and gets me things I like w/o me having to ask him to buy them. I do the same for him. We don't get much alone time but enjoy what time we do get together. My man does a lot other men don't but doesn't act like a doormat either.
Same here... kids come first, then each other. sm
Our kids are still at home, and the kids come first. I've seen lots of other parents who put themselves/each other first, and the kids always seem to be second thoughts to them. That's not how it works in our family. We're all equally important, but the kids' needs come first. If I only have $30 and we all need shoes, the kids get them first. I wouldn't have it any other way.
How old are the kids?nm
We have three kids.

DH does his own. So do the kids.
I used to have Mount Everest on the basement floor every single day and then I just got fed up and stopped doing laundry except for my own and household items, i.e., towels, etc. Half of the pile was clean stuff that I had folded and put in the kids' rooms that they just put back in the pile when they "cleaned" their rooms.
It took them a while to adjust, but the youngest was 8 and the older ones were 12 and 17 and I left their stuff in the mountain until they realized that they couild actually work the washing machine AND the dryer. They also know if they put the washer on the extra small cycle for only one pair of pants, one shirt, one pair of socks and one pair of underwear for themselves, and I actually find it, it gets hauled out of the washer and thrown back on the pile wet.
And don't even think about not scraping AND rinsing your plate. You won't get fed.
hee hee

yep and even KIDS..........nm

How many kids do you have?
x
My kids are now in their mid-20's and
we always had them save their money. I'd give them $20 of their paychecks and put the rest in high-interest CD's for them.
My son recently used the money from his childhood savings as a downpayment on his house.
My daughter is using hers to pay off her student loans from college.
They are now very responsible savers/investors.
Teach them young. It's a great learning experience that can be applied to the rest of their lives.
