Yeah Shotwell, yours was worse than mine.
If you can explain the extenuating circumstances to the judge, hopefully he will knock it down. I had that happen a few years ago and had the driving on suspended reduced to driving without having the drivers license with me which is a 100 dollar fine.
My condolences for your family's loss.
I saw my friend last night, and he is lots of pain, and bitching like a 3 year old, so that is a good sign. They are still trying to increase his potassium so that the liver is strong enough to handle anesthesia so they can extract the abscessed tooth. As far as after that, it is pretty much in the air.
More processor is ALWAYS good. My jump was from and ancient AMD K6-2 350 to the Athlon 64 3000. I jumped to ludicrous speed.
and to Eminem

My ex-GFU and I got together on Labor Day last year, so just over a year. We have been living together for the last year ever since she moved out from Ohio. I can't tell you how much stress has left me since Sunday. I sort of feel bad, but it is nice to be able to sleep instead of stress out about the state of our relationship.
My condolences to your family as well. I lost one of my grandmothers a year ago. She had cancer and managed to hang in there for a year, but finally succumbed.
I am sure your family knows how much you would like to be with them at this time, and they know that you are fulfilling your sworn duty.
I wish you a speedy return. My friend George is in Iraq as well. You all stay safe.

or be with my family for support
