It will be strange going home and not have her there.

I can understand that. It's nice having that happy greating every time you come home.

Past tense? Am I reading this correctly? So sorry Glen :(

Yea, she is gone.

glen,not good at all, one of the family.

Had another day of useless time at the DMV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and Social Security!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sigh:confused:

feffing bureaucrats, I am getting sick of them.

you will think it funny that I had to do the DMV driving written test today, and as I had checked their website and seen that with my license there was a reciprocal arrangement that waived the written knowledge and practical driving test, I didn't study, so when I went and they wanted me to do the written knowledge test, I failed. sigh.

I told them before I did the test that their own website says I didn't need to do it, they said that they didn't care, everyone does the test. I insisted they should check their own administrative website, they got pi55ed off, I failed..... they had a smirk on their faces, I slunk out of there,....

Studying tonight so I can do the test again tomorrow,

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!

will have to take the Durango to the DMV tomorrow, as I can't do the practical test in the Porsche as it is not registered in maryland, only has temporary tags from Utah. Not a happy Vegemite (aussie slang, Jeff will understand)!!

hehe.

You gave someone the chance to b1tch about some stupid foreigner. You just made their day :D

Condolences, cried when my 17 yo golden, Penny passed. Only made it 2 months before I had to get another puppy.

sorry, glen.

azzy, the DMV is not your friend. the bastards.

david, this video file thing just sucks.

Sorry about your dog, Glen. :(

As for you Azzy, the DMV is sufficient proof that there is a Devil and there is a Hell.

Just make sure you're allowed to take the test tomorrow. Sometimes they have a rule that if you don't pass, you're not allowed to test again for x number of days.

:( Glen. Hugs to you and Joe. Makes me sad.

Condolences about the dog, Glen.

yeah I suppose so, but I am just getting sick of having to bang my head against the wall!!

I can see why the other Aussies have not bothered to get a US licence, no one has one. I am just trying to do the right thing here, but might as well slash the wrists!

Realistically if you don't have a Social Security Number (SSN) here you are f*cked, and as a spouse of a diplomat I can't get one, so I am f*cked. Life would be so much easier if I had a SSN, things would be much more seamless and smooth.

I thought the French were bureaucratic nuts, but US are on a par.

My rant for today.

Another glass of Rose required, ha ha ha.

As a plus for the day, had another lovely sunny day so took Marilyn for a nice drive. Still haven't quite got the 1st to 2nd clutch right yet, but I am getting there.

if I go back tomorrow I am taking the Durango its an auto, got to be easier for a driving test!

As soon as anyone mentions the word test I go into stress mode!!:confused:

back to study

Nah, they said I could come back tomorrow. I am determined to get one, so I am going..
:):):):)

tomorrow I am going in smiling,:) big breath, :)smile at the bureaucrats, :)

Good luck Azzy.

G'day Tweeze, how goes the job hunting?

Evening Y'all
Man the posts from today were a tough read. I am sorry to hear the news guys. :(

david... those files are in a proprietary apple video format (apple h.264) AND a proprietary audio PCM format.

i am about to install linux so that i can get some proper video editing capability and try that.

Sick 'um D

D give up. Don't go postal over it. Must be they have some lic agreement with apple.

One guy at work here had a great idea, take the thing into an apple store and make them edit at vid with quicktime pro before buying it.
