I figured it was correct, but (unfortunately) he's been convicted of a drug offense before, and I swore he's had his license then...but guess I am not remembering it correctly, within the awful continuum of all that's happened over the last 4 yr.s.. I always say that I would have kept a log(of the various terrible events and drama)....but know that I'd really never want to go back and read it later. And yes...you're right...2 mo.s are almost over, so that is a good point. But geez,...wouldn't you think D's attorney, never mind the judge, would have thought to mention this..ie."by the way, your driver's license is now revoked, so don't be driving." For the $$ he got, you'd think he'd point out that very important detail. Oh well...<br /><br />Yaya...yes, you're right....thank God for public transportation,and he will figure it out. I love that your son is still saving that gas $...awesome. :)<br /><br />Not My Boy...yes, convenience first, possible consequences later...that has been D's modus operandi as well....at least, it was. I'm hoping it's not anymore....from what he's saying and from what we know. <br /><br />Terri....yep, ain't that the truth ? It follows for a time,...that's for sure...for them and for us.<br /><br />Madyson...oh, you have no idea...he's a gem. :)beachteacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14159524928730022945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901597967659101042.post-9967928701778423942011-08-03T14:44:28.547-04:002011-08-03T14:44:28.547-04:00Since I work in Abingdon, VA as a legal assistant ...Since I work in Abingdon, VA as a legal assistant for an attorney who does court appointed cases I can verify that yes, in VA, if you plead guilty or are convicted of a drug offense (any kind), the license is suspended for 6 months, no exceptions.... On the bright side, 2 months are almost over!Bristolvolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06176684422419228152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901597967659101042.post-74085647844929131152011-08-03T13:54:56.505-04:002011-08-03T13:54:56.505-04:00Wise man your brother...LOLWise man your brother...LOLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901597967659101042.post-75728466963929907532011-08-03T11:20:24.382-04:002011-08-03T11:20:24.382-04:00I like the description your brother gave.

No doubt about it. Convenience first, consequences later is his mantra.<br /><br />My son had the same charge and same conviction. He did not lose his license, although that would have been a good punishment now that I think about it.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08861512970307127613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901597967659101042.post-45732788167673052402011-08-03T08:02:29.618-04:002011-08-03T08:02:29.618-04:00Public Transportation is readily available in Flor...Public Transportation is readily available in Florida. My son has never had a car and managed to get everywhere he needed to go via bike/bus.<br /><br />In Florida most buses have racks for bikes. <br /><br />Takes a bit of planning and more time to travel. But it saves on gas, maintenance and insurance.<br /><br />3+ years into his sobriety he has opted to remain car-free.<br /><br />D will do fine. He'll figure it out.<br /><br />God Blessyayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12478820549540599530noreply@blogger.com
