“All day I've been obsessing about needing to get my new registration stickers so I won't get stopped until someone pointed out to me that I have a 9/08 sticker. I completely spaced that I still have a whole month to get it done and it didn't expire last weekend.”

me on the other hand, felt so grown up when I renewed earlier this year only 1 week late, rather than my usual 5-12 months late, following 2-3 tickets. - Ruth Ferguson

ruth, that made me laugh. we renewed 3 weeks late, rather than our 2 - 5 mos. late and we got no tix this time! - faboo mama

I renewed late last year, after 2 tickets, that's why I'm obsessing this year. - Trish R

Mine expired this weekend. Fortunately, i remembered with enough time to run over to the tag office before it closed. Barely. They get pissy about expired stickers down here. - Chris Baskind

Texas gives you a 5-day grace period before you get a ticket. - Trish R

i'm late. i paid a month ago and still haven't received my sticker though. - Rodfather

They don't give you the sticker when you pay? We get them immediately here. - Trish R

trish, we have to mail in our registration here in CA and they mail them to us. i even went to the dmv to pay my registration and they mailed my stickers to me. - faboo mama

“My son needed 3 shots for school yesterday (only 1 required by the state). Using insurance, it would have cost me $25 co-pay and they only covered 1 shot. I would have had to pay $90 each for the other two. Getting all three shots w/o insurance cost me $75 total. Anything wrong with this scenario?”

Hah. I've had that experience with medications before. $10 without insurance, or $25 copay with insurance. It's crazy. - Rochelle

I used to get allergy shots that were the same way. They were $10 a shot w/o insurance, or $25 co-pay with a yearly cap on the shot amount, which I reached in 6 months and had to pay the full price of $100 a shot for the remaining 6 months. - Trish R

Same with an MRI. I'm also in Texas. I hope this crap changes after January. - Josh Haley

And yet people wonder why Government paid Healthcare (Socialized Healthcare) won't work. The same principle applies when getting auto body work done. There is one price for insurance and another for direct payment. - tsudohnimh

This is a statement that you have TERRIBLE insurance. - Sparky

yes, that doesn't add up, but insurance is like that. dental insurance is the biggest scam in history. if I had dental ins. my recent work would have cost me $2K more as most of the stuff i had done wouldn't have gotten covered. - faboo mama

Yes, dental and even most vision plans are huge scams. A sad and expensive day when I figured that out. - Josh Haley

Stopped paying dental and vision plans 5 years ago after working out the economics. They cost more for the plan over the year than I actually needed in treatment! - Sally Church

Garamond with family- we all use it. Weird. - Abby Martin

Verdana - RAPatton

For print, Georgia. - Chris Baskind

Trebuchet MS. But I use that for everything. - Nine - Like the number

huh? You mean there's more fonts than Ariel and Times New Roman? - Chris Rivait

no font, handwriting! :) - giorgia

Hand -- what? - Chris Baskind

that's an ancient method - using something called a pen, with ink in it, with no aid from a computer, go figure! - giorgia

Second handwriting, though it takes FOREVER if I want legibility. Computers have leeched away what little penmanship I could ever claim. - Alix Whitmire

I actually have good handwriting but I can't write quickly enough to keep up with my thoughts. Many years ago, when I briefly got into letter writing as a hobby, I would type out what I wanted to write and then copy it down. I just don't write letters anymore. - Akiva Moskovitz

invisible ink - Fred Grott

Comic Sans... I mean Times New Roman. - Morton Fox

Verdana is a good font, in rare cases something like Georgia. - Steve Spalding

Alix - I reckon it depends on the handwriting, never had trouble with people understanding mine :) - giorgia

LOL @ Sally's response...mine would be a slightly neater form of my normal scrawl. - Stephen Shores

What is this "letter" you speak of? - Rochelle

I'm not sure I could accomplish writing an entire letter by hand anymore. - Trish R

I use Calibri for everything. Way better than Times New Roman. - Roberto Bonini

Calibri or Garamond usually. - Chieze Okoye

I use Calibri to view FriendFeed, and pretty much use it everywhere else :P - Shey

I'm an old Mac user, and as far as I'm concerned, the only four fonts that I'll ever need are Helvetica, Times, Courier, and Symbol. So now on Windows, I tend to use Times New Roman or sometimes Arial. (I am not trendy.) - Ontario Emperor

Any serif font tends to look better in actual print (usability wise). - Far

was there an election in 84? 49-1 for Reagan/Bush and a 60/40 split in the popular vote...ironically enough, the one state for Mondale/Ferraro? Minnesota... - Live4Soccer

Actually, Anthony, that's EXACTLY how I meant it. - Akiva Moskovitz

I'm pretty sure the first African American nominee of a major party is history, regardless of if he wins. I'm also pretty sure that Clinton's run was history - she got more votes than any primary candidate in history, except for the guy who beat her. McCain is history as the oldest guy to ever seek a first term. Palin is history for the Republican party, and again if she wins. If that happens, the electorate will also have reached history-making levels of stupidity. So all in all, lots of history being made - Eric

@Eric, I said no history was made in Palin being a woman running for VP. That's been done before. Yes, history is made in many ways in every election, but especially in this one. - Trish R
