The Rant of Our Discontent

[N-o-l-a 7,168]

That sounds similar to MN's law. The older one just quit the booster at 9 because it was too hard to fit in the back with two ther car seats and I didn't want to bother with an inflatable one. 

 

Very few people follow it, though. I constantly see young kids in the front seat.

Law terminology is tricky to read, and easily misinterpreted.....

You have to pay attention to words such as "Over", "Under", "Greater than", "may" etc....

 

Most states, the law is 4'9" or be 8. For whatever seat you can fit them in. 

Except smaller kids, they have to use the manufacturers suggested weight class. 

 

In regards to scooters, here's a typical family in NYC.....

I am surprised how many kids when the Tornado was in kindergarten where in the front seat. Half of them didn't even get buckled in.

Oh yes the law is so weirdly worded. Here the Tornado can be out of her booster seat already. I don't think she would sit properly if she was out so we kept her in it. Heck we just recently took her out of the 5 point harness.

Law terms has to/ must be written like that to be definitive, in every aspect of the law. 

Ages, amounts, contracts, estates, etc...

 

I can cite examples all day. 

What is a juvenile delinquent? 

What is a youthful offender? 

What is a juvenile offender? 

What is a Grand larceny? 

What is a petit larceny? 

What is a felony? Misdemeanor? 

 

"Under 16"

"Under 17, and..."

"Over 17, and..."

"1000 dollars or more"

"Under 1000 dollars"

"Punishable by 1 year or more in prison"

"Punishable by up to 364 days in jail" 

 

See what I mean?

Just finished reading the popular topics, what a rollercoaster!

 

I'm getting ready for my two hours of Pole fitness +twerk classes. It should be fun, but just thinking about it makes me feel tired haha.

I'm also doing my laundry and working on getting everything I need for my Mexico City trip: two months of tattooing over there. I need the break, and it will be

the first and hopefully last time I'm there this year! did 6 months non stop last year (as in, weekends included) while we were waiting for approval and man, it was rough. 

 

how have you guys been?

I've missed you

I'm chugging along, thanks for asking. 

 

I also discovered today, that I really can't retire in NJ, because the stupid tax law on  pensions excludes me! 

If your pension + other income is over 100K, you lose the entire exemption (vs pay tax on amount over 100K). FFS...

My mother has been complaining about retirement taxes and Medicare for months.  🤔  She is thinking Florida now because it is income tax free. 

 

Made this tonight and it was delicious: http://weightwatchersrecipes.club/skinny-egg-roll-stir-fry/2/

Currently there are only 3 states that are truly tax free on your pension. 

Florida, Pennsylvania, and Mississippi. 

 

 

And, egg roll pic now...

I know, we should be ashamed...

They replaced it with a new one, she is still grumbling that the new receipt shows the price we paid - the discount instead of the current price 🙄

I have set it up for & put her favorite picture of her as the home screen wallpaper

I put my favorite picture of her looking like the wicked witch as her lock screen wallpaper 😂

[SAT 9,609]

you should set the thing to power off every time it sees her face...
