My kids have all threatened to move out as soon as they turn 18. My wife and I told them we'll rent the U-Haul for them.The pastor at a previous church, three kids of his own, told of a deacon meeting one Saturday evening, where one deacon stayed back to ask how he could get control of his 12 year old daughter. The pastor said, "Let's kneel here and pray." The deacon said, "What shall we pray for?" "Pray that when we get up, she is eighteen."
Ahhh... Dont blame them . You have the boomerang gen.My kids have all threatened to move out as soon as they turn 18. My wife and I told them we'll rent the U-Haul for them.

A friend discovered that his driver's license had expired some months before. GA does not send you a reminder notice and dispite his being involved in two traffic accidents since the expiration date, no police officer noted the fact the license had expired. He then found that, like many states, his requires a copy of a birth certificate; he did not have a copy handy. He found that his home town would not provide a copy of a birth certificate without .... a valid ID, such as a valid driver's license. He was then forced to manipulate the image of his old license to make it "valid" for ordering a birth certificate. He eventually got a response from the home town that they were "having trouble with their systems" and could not provide a copy of his birth certificate. He eventually found an original copy of his birth certificate in his mother's personal effects, but it was not an "official" copy. The driver's license office agreed that was good enough and he finally renewed his driver's license.Sorry. New regulations for marriage certificates. You have to go to the court house and get a new one with a registration
number which is to ensure there is no identity theft. How that will stop ID theft I don't know.
Or maybe having a good Internet connection.Being a parent.
That's interesting given the hassles I posted for us to get our police clearances. My wife didn't get her drivers licence renewal and we realised hersA friend discovered that his driver's license had expired some months before.

Almost hard to believe that this is not a coordinated effort to render actual citizens indistinguishable from illegal aliens, isn't it?
I am really getting tired of the nightly battle with my 13 year old over doing his chores and getting him off to bed at a decent hour.
I prayed to God: Lord what must I do to get my children to obey me?

was out of date a while ago so we went to the licensing centre to tell them.
We thought at the time it could be a case of identity proof and blah blah but when we got to see the lady at the computer she said have you got
your old licence card. Yes. That was handed over and she put the number in. No worries - how long do you want to renew it for - 5 years - ok,
that'll be this much - paid - interim sheet printed - your new card will be in the mail soon. Thanks.
Total opposite to the balls up we are going through now.
It's the Iron Law of Regulation:
"There is no form of market failure, however egregious, which is not eventually made worse by the political interventions intended to fix it".
Unfortunately that holds true for a lot of other regulations - all with good intentions but not always looked at from the point of view of
ensuring they don't flow on to something else. I call that the cascading cockup effect.
True. I was trying to be non partisan / non political in my comments but it is hard not to get angry with some of the ridiculousMany regulations and "standards" are worse than that. They are the direct result of the desires of vested interests.
Was it Boeing?When I was on active duty in the USAF I found that in some cases its does not matter what the law passed by Congress says, but what the lawyers say.
The Commercial Space Launch Act of 1984 required that the Federal Govt make available excess facilities to the commercial space launch industry. We had some on the Cape. But a private firm said that if we made those facilities available to private firms the firm would be so badly harmed that they would go out of business. The JAGs said that settled it; we could not follow the law. The unused facilities were torn down rather than provided to private industry, despite the law.

No, Astrotech. Eventually the USAF tore down all its spacecraft processing facilities and went to using Astrotech, who are not even on the Cape but across the rivers. There is one new big facility but it belongs to The People Who Do Not Exist.Was it Boeing?
