I had some good news today. My driver's license expires at the end of May and I was dreading the long wait at the DMV. California allows us to make appointments, which helps, but it's still a long wait--just not quite as long. Plus parking is in short supply there. It all just makes for an unpleasant few hours.

But yesterday I received a notice that I can renew by mail. REALLY?? Registration, yes, for many years now. But a driver's license? I'll GLADLY take them up on it. (You have to renew early to do it.) In fact, I'd gladly pay a surcharge to do it, but I don't think they charge one. Yay!

We found this out after Craig was in Romania. Had we known we would have set up an address with family before he left and he could have renewed from there. Instead he returned home with an expired driver's license-very inconvenient.

This morning my oldest brother Mike was down here and asked if I would come this afternoon to install the software I bought him on his computer.....he has had it for almost two weeks, and I thought he was already using it.

He said he had NEVER installed anything on his computer - so I said okay.

He does have Windows 8 - so I had to go back ONE version of the Dragon software.

It took about an hour to get everything set up - I left him doing the Tutorials....but he was reading and the words were showing up, so my guess is it is working!

I hope he likes it. He is working on a book and writing in long hand, which his wife then types into the computer. I told her this would save her a LOT of typing. She said yes, especially since she can't read his writing anyway.

If she can't read his writing how is she typing it into the computer

I hope your brother can type on the computer.

Is anyone else having problems with facebook? At first I thought it was my internet connection. All is good UNTIL I open FB and then everything is wonky.

I found a great deal on eBay just this last December. There was an original King Kamehameha Hawaiian shirt for $16. It had just been re-released for $150, so I figured, why not? The shirt had never been worn. Interior tag still in place.

That's a great deal. I looked up the shirt and saw a number of variations. Do you have a photo?

I also just looked up some on eBay and found this: Sun Fusion Button Front Hawaiian Shirt Blue Woodie Cars Palm Tree...for only $9,999.00!!

George, don't you usually pay $10K for your Hawaiian shirts? This one is even pre-owned. I guess you just don't recognize a bargain when you see one.

Is it really a bargain?? I think I might need to do a little more research to see the going rate for this one.

Here in Washington, we can renew our driver's license by mail, or even on-line, which I did the time before I renewed in person last year. I think you can only renew on-line if you don't have any major changes. I wanted to go in person to get a new picture and update my weight.

I need to find it. I looked earlier but work called

We have not had ours long enough to renew it. We will be doing so early and in person. We need to get the enhanced driver's license in order to fly on a plane without needing a passport.

Something to consider DR George when you renew. It costs a little more, however, unless I am mistaken you don't have a passport.

I was delighted to find that as long as a passport hadn't expired, you can renew by mail. It's time drivers licenses caught up.

(But I'd thought they needed to check eyesight and stuff like that for driving - i guess not.)

That's a nice one. A little more than I'd like to spend, though.

I just bought this one, an actual Hawaiian shirt, made in Hawaii: Hawaii The 50th State Islands Aloha Shirt 2XL King Kamehameha Matching Pocket...and it was only $14.99 with free shipping!

It's a Hawaiian shirt, with the islands of Hawaii all over it, and it was actually made in Hawaii!

DR Jeanne and Bruce, residents of California are also going to need an enhanced driver's license in order to fly.
