You have to have more birthdays, so that they will be better.

You do have friends, you are not a waste, and I won't tell you what you do or don't have in your life, but hopefully you will remember a few meaningful things. Just remember that the day you realize all of your successes and accomplishments are behind you is the day there's no point left in going on. Case in point, I seem to plan on living forever by accomplishing absolutely nothing.

You're at a low point right now, but there will be high points. We get through things and go on.

All of that said... man, turning 30 SUCKS and you deserve to be mad about it for awhile. So I won't wish you a "Happy Birthday," but I do wish you a "Happy Couple-Weeks-After-Your-Birtday." I hope things look up soon.

Also, what is it with the freaking traffic court system? Mike had his license suspended for awhile because of failure to pay a ticket. It was a "fix-it" ticket, so he replaced his headlight & had an officer sign off on it, went down to the court, turned it in, all on time, everything. And then months later we find out they screwed something up, had it listed as unpaid, and he'd been driving on a suspended license. Fortunately we were able to get it resolved without too much pain. I can't believe your bank won't do any research, that's insane. Although I guess these days nothing the banks do surprises me.

I don't think that they can be any worse than this one unless I get arrested or come down with something worse than what I have now.

I know. But if the high points (at least one good thing) could come right now, it would be appreciated.

Yeah. I feel so old. I know thirty isn't old in my head but I just feel so worn out.

I don't know but I know that I paid the rest as soon as I got my tax refund. I was working this so I did the e-files (and I usually had about 5 pay stubs). I know that I didn't wait a year to finish the payment. I've been driving for 2 and 1/2 years on a suspended license. I had no idea. They had my correct address but I had never received any warning except for the one in January. Had I known, I would have fixed it immediately and probably been able to show proof that I didn't wait until May.

I'm not surprised by anything the banks do either nor the cops. Ugh. We both could have gotten into some serious trouble if we'd ever been pulled over. :(

This one time I had gotten off at work at 12 am because for a few weeks in the summer, Home Depot closed later. My headlight was out. I thought it wasn't a big deal and just drove home. I'd have it fixed before I went into work the next day.

I get off the interstate just fine and I go down one street and I stop to turn onto my street. Well, a cop is there and he waves me over. He then pulls me over for having a busted headlight. I was less than half a mile from my house. He writes me a ticket. I'm too flabbergasted to say anything and he has a snotty attitude so I just don't say anything.

I go to my court date with a receipt showing I had it fixed the next morning along with a copy of my time card showing when I worked. I plead no contest. The judge, thankfully, tossed it out and I didn't have to pay anything or court costs.

I'm glad you got it resolved with too much fuss.

And thank you Sarah. :)
