In NJ, I deferred because I was going to France. They didn't even ask why; the online form said you could defer it once.

:goodpost: Of all the people I met in high school, for all the stress of trying to fit in, for all the tears, I am now, almost 40 years later, friends with none of them. Zero. And to think I wasted my time worrying what they thought of me. I have my best friend from college. I have a couple...

At least then when it doesn't work, you'll have someone to blame other than yourself.

There are people I miss, too.

We wanted to buy a house near us for my parents. When my realtor called, she was told that the house had already sold, despite the sign. When the sign didn't come down, I asked her to call again. Same story. So we called the listing realtor directly. She showed us the house and we bought it...

There were stories about the customer who sent the rare steak back, annoying the chef (so he burned it), stories about food falling on the floor and getting scooped right back...

Kids are better at losing than we give them credit for. My boy is in taekwondo classes. Each time there is a belt test, there are 5 trophies that go to the top students in each category. There are perhaps 30 kids participating. The first time he took the test, he sulked because he didn't earn a...

Here in NJ, it's a well-known fact that using turn signals gives other drivers an unfair advantage -- they may use the knowledge of where you're going! To counter this, many Jerseyites turn on their blinkers, and never turn them off, or go in the opposite direction! :idunno Driving around...
