Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 6)

[Mrs. Cole 0]

Congrats Nbsaw. Adjustment is hard; but it will be fine. Only thing I have to add is do not give up your independence girl.

Gilly.....you reminded me of what Andre did to me............he called me April 1, 2005 from JA at about 3 a.m. and told me he was in the hospital. He said he'd been in a car accident and had gashed his head really bad, requiring stitches, broke his leg, and they thought he might lose his eye. I was hanging up to call the airlines when he yelled APRIL FOOLS. I hung up on him and didn't talk to him all that day. I still cuss him for that when he brings it up.

Send some prayers out for Mindy. She mailed off their Lifting of Conditions today!

Thanks JG! It is hard. I don't want to give up my independence, but just tone it down a bit. I have been living on my own or 4 yrs and I do everything for myself! I just want to step back and be able to let him take out the trash, or assist me in something, things of that nature. Basicly, just adjusting to the fact that it is not just Nakia....it is now Andrew & Nakia.

Those are nobel gestures. Just keep in mind they take time to develop. When you figure out how to get him to take out the trash gently, let me know. I'm still working on that one.

I am pissed the HELL OFF!!!

In AUGUST I went to the MVA to get a learner's permit for MD.

They asked me if I had ever held a license before, I said NO, just a learner's permit in England. They asked to see it, so I produced it.

They then told me, I could NOT have a learner's permit here, I had to CONVERT it and do a 3 hour drug and alcohol program.

I even EMAILED them AFTER to check this was RIGHT!

So I did the alcohol and drug course in SEPTEMBER, and the driving school finally gave me the certificate in DECEMBER.

I went back to the MVA in January to make an appointment for the driving test, by which point my I-94 had expired, so the bastards told me MAKE AN APPOINTMENT!

There were no January appointments left, I was told to call in FEBRUARY.

I made an appointment on the 6th of FEB for TODAY (two FREAKING MONTHS LATER).

TODAY I go in, they say 'SORRY YOU NEED A LEARNER'S PERMIT'??????????

Now, the FRIGGED up thing about it, is that I have to hold the learner's permit for SIX FREAKING months until I can drive on my OWN?????

I am sooo pissed and disgusted with those stupid a$$holes right now.

[TRELAWNY PARISH 10]

Rhonda? Weh you deh?

I have the pictures of the RIU on my home PC and my phone service is out. They fixing it on Friday and I'll send it then.

People calling my office phone and hanging up saying they have the wrong number. I sound HORRIBLE!

Didn't I tell 'ya MVA is CRAZY. Getting Damien's license was a PITA. Maryland is the worst!!

Congrats on all of the approvals and arrivals.

Oh English, I'm sorry. Did you go the one in Beltsville? They gave my brother-in-law the same run around. He had a VALID license from Cameron and they told him he had to get a learners after making 3 appointments. He was being told different things and different times in the process. That is just crazy. And this new appointment thing which they implement several years ago is suppose to cut down on the lines.

JaEnglish:

I have some friends that came here from JA 4mths ago that are going through the very same thing. I think that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. Yet, a 16year US citizen old can go right in and get a DL the same day. They are the ones having all the freakin accidents. Driving and eating, drinking, sending text messages and all kinds of #######. I'm sorry, but that's just dumb...

Only a few MVA deal with foreign documents. Made an appointment in September for December. We had to go all the way to Waldorf. Damien had to go to driving school with a bunch of 16 year olds.

Nakia...four words for you PATIENCE, PRAYER, PATIENCE and more PRAYER. My husband has been here almost 4 years and he's still adjusting....

Anything is possible...just work and talk through your issues/differences...
