    Should I be concerned.
    Its been a while since I re-newed.
    What do I need to do and how much will it cost me?
    Do they take debit cards now?

    Thanks!

    Have you tried contacting the local DMV?

    Take my advice. Don't drive without a license.

    I know a guy that waited a few years before he tried to renew. He had to take driver's ed again (or at least the test) at 45 years old. HaHa.

    What I did was go up to the DMV and wait for about an hour (thats a good day) and retake the picutre and paid.. They don't take Credit cards only Money or Cash...And it would be advisable to replace it because anyone can take your license and try to pretend to be you...My friend was almost arrested for something he didn't do and the person used his lost license!

    Well, if you quit your job, I'd suggest getting a new one, because it will be kind of hard to get a new job without it...

    I'm afraid to ask, but what's the deal with your signature?

    Actually the last few times i have been there when i lost my ID it didn't take but 30 minutes and i was done. Even less that that. They finally have 2 different line systems for the lost ID's and the people taking the test and getting a new ID and stuff. So you tend to go a lot faster. Before everyone was lumped into one big line and it would take forever. At least the DMV i go does it like that. Never been there more than 30 minutes or so.

    He was at the "Battered Chicken, Fish & Shrimp Festival". This is the first thing he said when he saw the oil.

    Anyway, online is your best bet. More than likely, you will just be charged the regular fee. What state is it?
    EDIT: Never mind. Check "Clutch City" 's State Department of Transportation WebSite.

    They not only want my drivers license number, but the number next to the picture. Do you have that memorized Einstein?

    On that note, it might be time for a sig change...

    They monitor the firewall here at work. They probably wouldn't have caught on, but I didn't want to take the chance on somebody asking me questions about my balls.

    Good point, Gummi.

    Curiously, I noticed you called Ms. Tuesday Einstein, and being that Einstein was male, and rubytuesday is a female, do you have an alternate way of calling her "smarty pants"? :D

    Just wondering... I would have called you Emeril Lagasse if you acted smarty about cooking, not Betty Crocker. ;)

    Just wanted to make that point, is all, sir. :p
