Things that make you go Hmmm. Sigh. 

Today I stopped my procrastination. I was to re-new my Driver's License but a month ago. I would have done it online without question - NO problem. I did renew- my registration /plate tabs online prior to my birthday.  All good. I went today to pay for my Driver's license to be renewed. First I went online to find out if my local branch excepted a debit card. It stated YES we do.
So I went up to the office, stood in line for 15 mins. I asked first before presenting my information ... Do you expect a debit card to renew a " Driver's License". She said OH no. No not unless it is a personal check or cash.     She said we do have a " ATM" in our office and she pointed to it - 50 yards away.  She said you have to fill this out and after you use the ATM - you can come back to " that line" over there.....20 ppl long.
UMkay. So I go to use the ATM, Fill out the little piece of paper. Which asks me if I have had any seizures or lack of coherence episodes while driving in the last 6 months " Check Yes or No ".. hmm. They as well wanted me to fill in: my eye color, height, weight and my social security number. Hmm. Ok - so back in line I stand for another 20 mins or so. My number finally called.  Me num-num even thought of this while standing in line.  Since I have had my same D.L. forever. Somehow I was opted out within address changes that I did not have to renew the last required time ... Anyway I thought to myself .. UM I bet they are going to Eye test me. I didn't have my eyeglasses on me. Why? because I have no clue where they are. I rarely wear them .. I am not one to wear my glasses all the time. I prefer to be blind I guess.

The woman said after reading my "filled in paper" receiving all my proper papers - she pointed at that optic box .. PUT you face against the top, press your forehead in and READ the line  she pointed with her pencil - and READ me the first line.  Holy Fudge, I said I cannot read it. I told her I left my glasses at home. She got a whipped stitched and said WELL I cannot issue YOU a driver's license. She said You have to go home and find your " eyeglasses" - or get a prescription for a pair of eyeglasses - Until then WE " State of MI"  will not renew your License. Well alrighty then. Good enough. OMG- I almost thought she was going to revoke my license. I thought I drove up here, to the office, fine enough.  I still have no clue where my glasses are .. not the first time I have misplaced them. Uggh.  I went up to Target and made an appt for Eye exam right after - since I still have no clue where my eyeglasses are. I can't believe this. Yes I do understand the " If your blind you should not be driving" - But its not that I am totally blind. Fudge Bunnies - I swear .. to renew my Driver's license is going to cost me a pretty penny.  Even if I find my eyeglasses the script is over 5 yrs old. Possibly why I do not wear them all the time, they no longer benefit me.  Scratching my head.

Yikes, Deenie, you better wear your glasses.  If you should get in an accident and it is not your fault, they will blame it on you because your license specifically says you need to wear them.  I would hate to see you lose the house you have been working so hard on.  Besides, if you ever hit anyone or a pet, you would never forgive yourself, always wondering if you would not have done it if you had your glasses on.

So, true, Bearly.  I surrendered my driver's license 4 years ago because of a vision impairment that can't be helped with glasses.  It was my choice.  It got to the point where I was taking the long route home just to avoid traffic situations my vision couldn't handle.  The couple of years before I stopped driving, I only drove locally and that, too, became a white knuckle event so I finally gave in.  I just couldn't 'bear' the thought of hurting anyone or myself.

Now, I have to renew my non-driver ID with the Motor Vehicle Commission...(still want to call it NJDMV...whatever).   They have a 6 point Identification requirement to renew here.  Last time, I had what I thought was enough but I had laminated my Social Security card many, many years ago....that's a no-no....they wouldn't accept it.  Luckily, the check I wrote out had my name and address and they accepted that.  THEN, I had to wait on another line to get my pic taken.  It took a while.  Needless to say, I am not happy I have to go there every 4 years to get a new digital ID. 

http://www.state.nj.us/mvc/Licenses/6PointID.htm

I also heard earlier this week that our Gov. Christie plans to eliminate safety inspections on vehicles....I think they said many other states do not require it.  We've always had it here.  Personally, I think it's alarming that the rules are different from state to state.

hey everyone,

im not really sure where to post this but i really need some advice...

i have been stalked by the same guy for the past 5 years.  this person went to the same college as me and we had some mutual friends. he was always very weird tho and followed my friends around all through college.  i was always nice to him because i felt bad for him, but that was it. we were only ever friends and after it became clear to me that he was obsessed with me, i tried to cut off the friendship however he would never stop.  he would trheaten to hurt himself if i didnt talk to him..etc..

anyway, i was always civil towards him but he has been slowly losing his mind more and more over the years.  the final straw occured when he decided to attend law school literally down the street from my house.  this was strange to me, especially since he is not from my area but chose this school to go to. it really freaked me out.

ever since he has moved to my area, he has been constantly asking me to hang out.  i always say no and then he becomes extremely angry.  in his mind, he believes him and i are in a relationship and it is very disturbing.  i have gotten phone calls and emails from people saying that he tells them i am his girlfriend and all other sorts of things.  these people even told me they fear for my safety because he is so psychotic about me. 

finally, after the situation escalated in the past week, and  i got emails from people saying they fear for my safety, i called the police.  An officer contacted him and told him that if he contacts me or comes near me again, he will be arrested. 

his response to this, was to send out a mass email to everyone i am friends with on facebook (yes he went through and sent this to all my friends) about all of these horrible things about me.  my phone was ringing off the hook all day with people asking me who this crazy person was.  the things he said were extremely disturbing, so disturbing i couldnt even read the message.  it was disgusting.  my friends reported it to facebook, and i called the police who made me feel horrible and told me to get off facebook and that there was nothing they could do.

i am so upset, i dont even know what the best thing to do is right now. do you guys have any suggestions?

If you don't already have a dog, GET ONE.  A big mean looking one, a BARKER.  One that will warn you if someone is there.  Go to the pound, or borrow a friends dog. 

You need to keep bugging the police.  They need to see what he's doing, the stuff he's sending on Facebook.  If one won't listen go to someone else.  See if there is a womens shelter in your area and see if they have an advocates that can help you get police to believe you.

Sunshine12,

Take out a restraining order against him if you haven't already.  Document everything!  To hell with the officer that said not to call back with Facebook issues.  Print out the messages and take them with you to the police station and contact a local attorney that does free consultations.

Klaas and Wreck have both given you excellent advice.  An advocate could really help and you won't feel like you're dealing with this alone.

All I can really add is do your best to have someone with you at all times.  At least for the next few days/week until this settles down, have your friends take shifts if you have to as their schedules allow.  Don't stick to your usual schedule or be predictable as to where you'll be when, if that makes sense.

You can also find a store that sells pepper spray if you think you could use it on him if needed.

Keep us posted, ok?  Just check in now and then and let us know you're all right.
