Re: About to leave it all behind!

Christmas is tough. No two ways about it. I've been here over twelve years and always get to feeling like something is missing on Christmas Eve. Knowing that I have to head back to work on Monday...

Re: The Christmas what do you miss thread

I think I've introduced most British traditions to my American family here after 12 Christmas Days in this country. We are one of the few families in Arkansas who will be lighting our pudding and...

Re: Sausage rolls and Cornish pasties

A friend from work cooked me up a bunch for my birthday a few years ago. She did a fantastic job. I was gutted when she moved.

Having recently gone through the court process for a DWI first offense I've had my eyes opened to a lot of alcohol related issues. I've been attending AA as part of my plea deal and decided to give...

Re: The Duggars Expecting 20th child

Met these folks a few years back. They came into my work wanting us to donate furniture to them. I think they had a few less children then.

Thanks to everyone for their advice and comments, yes, even Ray. I posted this to get an unbiased idea of how this situation looked and I now can see it doesn't look good for me. I know I will never...

Re: How stupid am I ? Advice?

Yes, very true. I think it was down to the fact I had no other offenses in the last 12 years.

Re: How stupid am I ? Advice?

So my attorney informs me that I have been granted a restricted license with the use of an interlock device. Not inexpensive but at least I can get from A-B.

Re: How stupid am I ? Advice?

Suspected broken leg as I couldn't put weight on it for a while. Turned out not to be and the doc let me walk out.

Re: How stupid am I ? Advice?

Totally agree. Talked with an attorney and looks like the license will be gone for 6 months in a couple of (sorry, two) weeks and I'll have the court hearing to deal with next month. I'll have plenty...

Re: How stupid am I ? Advice?

It's a 2007 Honda VTX 1800 C with only 4000 miles on it. I picked it up earlier this year. Beautiful bike with many extras. Not a scratch on it fortunately.

Re: How stupid am I ? Advice?

Yep, bike was fine. It was hardly what I'd call an accident as I wasn't moving forward at the time. The bike fell onto it's side into the grass. Of course the police had it taken away and it cost me...

Re: How stupid am I ? Advice?

Re: How stupid am I ? Advice?

Yes, I'm kicking myself. It was an old Honda Civic with a noisy exhaust. I wish I'd got the number plate. I have about $10,000 invested in this bike and I decided to be careful. Like I said, not...
