Nothing can spoil the feeling

I was just confirmed to start work at the park next week. WOOHOO.
I must have been a tad excited driving home, because I got pulled over for speeding.
$200 later....I am still smiling, but know where my first paycheck will be going.
The cop was lovely. SHe even apologised for having to ticket me, and congratulated me on my new job. (She knew I wasnt smiling about the ticket!!!!!)

Is interest assessed every day? week? month?

 

[cam elle toe]

His dad lets him pick 3 horses and put $2 on each on Saturdays too. New years day, he cleaned up with 3 wins...all long shots, and won $100.He's won about $150.

Tinny little bugger he is.:nod:

Noooooo.

He picks 3 horses from the form guide in the paper, and his dad puts the bets on for him at the T.A.B. (where you place bets OFF track...not sure what you guys call it)

 

[Darrell]

Oh hahahahaha.

That's fun!

 

[cam elle toe]

Yep....he gets asked for "tips" now:24:

 

[Darrell]

Oh man. Haha!

 

[jassilem]

Oh wow girlie!

How may KM were you going over the speed limit to get a 200 ticket..?...

The last ticket I got I was going 140 in an 80.. and I got it reduced to going 10 over in a 90... I cried my way through that process...

 

[cam elle toe]

I am ashamed to say.....72 in a 50 zone.

But it wasnt a built up area. It was the road along the beach, and they are usually 60.
