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

[Islandwoman 0]

Okay ya'll can't laugh at me. Yesterday I had a taste for ackee and salt fish, dumpling, dashee, bannana, cocoa and sweet potato. So, I went to buy some flour yesterday and picked up the wrong kind. I think I picked up self-rising instead of all purpose and the damn dumpling them swell up big and until the pot top pop off. When I walked in the kitchen I had about 6 dumplings on the floor. Oh, well, next time I'll be more careful.

Were you the one who blew the top off the pressure cooker cooking goat?????

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.

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.

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.

I think the entire process sucks!

Yeah it does. That's one of things your fiance could be working on when he first gets here. I had no idea it could almost a year. That's one of my regrets...altough I wasn't ready for him to drive...especially my car LOL.

I'm glad Ray has his driver's license already.

Will they let him drive on it where you live?

Sunny, still check with MVA. It took that long to get an appointment for EVERYTHING....even to get an state ID. They have to view his foreign documents first.

Lawny, I think you need to invest in takeout menus!

Sorry to hear about the license issue, that has to be frustrating.

DJ and I were talking last night - I had the most bizarre dream about him - we had a huge fight (don't know what about), so I threw his cell in the river, then hopped in the car and was trying to escape him - for some reason, I was driving down a staircase, and he was running fast enough to catch the car

I was telling him the dream, and he kept telling me that he would never fight with me - I kept repeating - Babes, trust me, we are going to fight at some point - especially once you get here! It's a part of life, it's all how you handle it -

Hope everyone has been doing well!

Many Blessings,

Gill

[nannygirl82 0]

i would have exploded on them and asked to speak with the supervisor....and told them a little bit about themselves....

Supervisor actually come over and dealt with me....she was lovely, she tried to see if there was any way of overriding the system, she couldn't do anything

i hate when things like this happens!! sorry you had to go through that...at least the woman was nice...i know some at the dmv are such gems....
