I just renewed my C.C. permit and hey say sit there, pointing at a chair, grab your picture with a webcam type thingy, and you don't see it until you get the laminated card a couple weeks later.

In fairness though, when they do the driver's license pictures they attempt to show me on the monitor and ask if it's OK. I tell them I don't care because I don't give a shit if the cop thinks I'm attractive.
I'm not blowing him to avoid a ticket... but I don't tell them that.

Then, exactly, WHY are you blowing him?

No reason for "they" to know, what arrangement two consenting adults, "him" and myself, have agreed to... like he's got to take me in his cruiser while I work the siren... or something.

Apparently i am abusive and some other bad things for blowing off steam here and saying i should have married a tradesman.

In the spirit of posting on the internet to people neither of us will probably ever meet, i am sorry. I shouldnt make jokes about the things that frustrate me, even if it is annonymously.

What i am most upset about is that the one place i had to go to vent has been taken from me. Maybe people shouldnt spy on others.

I suppose i will have to censor my thoughts here too.

I hate my life. I wish i were dead.

At the risk of tromping in where I shouldn't:

So, he saw what you'd written and all he saw was the insult to him, not the fact that his wife is clearly very unhappy. Great priorities.

I'm sorry, Ali. I wish it could have been an opportunity to open conversation, rather than another fight. Just remember that even when all else has gone to shit, Max and Eva love you, and need you, and need you to not be dead.

Lord no, then she might become cupcake queen, successful, wealthy and independent... worse, a threat to the status quo.

Ali you know in your heart dead is not going to be as much fun as alive. This will pass I promise. When your business gets going you will be busy and happy. {{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}

Thanks everyone. I will be fine.

Today I am mostly just angry. I gave up so much for my husband. Even my mental health. It's time to take it all back, starting today. No one else is going to be in charge of my life but me. I will not sit around idly hoping he doesn't leave me because I am such a bad person. That's only his perspective, which imo is warped to begin with.

Anyway, it's time to take back control of my life. Starting today.

I will not be caught unprepared for anything.

You mean like if he wants to take you to a deep lake or fast moving river, let's say for a day of fishing; but, doesn't bring a fishing rod for you ... you'll bring your own, right?

Not to get all grammar nazi on you, Ali, but you spelled 'he' wrong.
