Can confirm. Every now and then one my cashiers will call me over and be like "this old woman handed a signed piece of paper instead of money?"

It's also funny to show them the ol' shotgun credit card imprinter "you put the card there and the paper here kachunk and in a few weeks wed find out if they actually had the money at all!"

How the hell did that system work for soo long lol

"does that actually work"

"No it never does... But it might work for us"

Completely anecdotal and not meant to say "what's true" but just a weird thing I've experienced.

The only people I've talked to who flat out won't vote for a woman are a couple women in my life

Actually they are also the only ones who complained about woman voices on the podcasts I listen to." Too nasally, too deep, too flirty"

I'm not saying "it's not men" I'm just saying there should also be some discussion about the women who hate women. There are some issues that are mostly men even if not entirely men and I don't mind the solutions are centered around fixing men.

This is different, there's a lot of women who won't vote for a woman. We should be including that In the conversation.

Precisely. He considered the doctor to be his father. He likely would have called himself Frankenstein as well.

It's Florida. Titusville.

And the courthouse was closed when I went there today because of the hurricane. Guess they don't have power yet.

The clerks office is closed too, and the website hasn't been updated and still says my court date is today.

I even tried calling the non-emergancy police number and they don't know. They told me to call the clerk on Monday. Which will be fine unless my court date is rescheduled for Monday at 9am when they open.

You aren't worthless and you can grow as a person thru lonely times.

It might've been easier for me going thru it as a teen. I was pulled from school and homeschooled, in the Texas countryside. I slowly lost every friend I had in school and there was literally no one else to talk to but my family.

I have a great family, but it wasn't a warm family. My mother was a very stern and logical woman and my father worked out of town a lot.

They both loved me, but my point is I spent years entirely alone.

I took walks and read books. It got easier.

Decades later I'm still kind of a loner but entirely by choice. As an adult I get flirted with and hit on often. I'm very careful about who I date because I don't need it. I'm fine being alone now, I only date someone if they are adding something to my life.

It gets easier being alone, you eventually start to prefer it.

There's no way I can deal with the fime immediately. That's kind of information is exactly what I was asking about...

I live paycheck to paycheck. I don't get paid again until next week.

They really expect people to pay the unknown fine immediately?

I'm housing insecure. I've always worked hard but it's never been "my place" it's always a roommate or girlfriend and I move around A LOT. Plus one of the symptoms of my ADHD is "time blindness" it's hard for me to judge how much time has passed between two events. That's why I didn't think about my license might be expired. 1 year, 7 years, 12 years... It all feels the same to me.

That's something to consider. I just don't want to seem like I'm being difficult to the judge.

 

I know the obvious of being polite and respectful. do I show up early like an airport? Do I just show the guard my ticket? Anything I should know or be aware of?
