Singdaw, depending on the photo size, we reset this forum to accept photos much more easily, so try.  Usually at photo sharing sites, there's a code you copy and paste into here and it identifies the code for boards like this.

I am clueless how to do this.

I renewed mine online, too.  For Washington state, just to here:  https://www.dol.wa.gov/driverslicense/renew.html

Thursday afternoon greetings!  Richard and I, quite painlessly, accomplished a major task today - renewing our driver’s licenses.  He went online and found a nifty checklist of what’s needed to apply for a “compliant” license and we both completed it with ease.  We got to the office about 11:20, waited in line outside about 10 minutes, and were outta there just after noon.  It was very organized and we made sure to express our appreciation to the 2 nice women who helped us.

We were allowed to remove our masks for the photo, but my long pandemic hairdo will be preserved for posterity - or at least the next 4 years.

I did something similar. Mom's ID card had expired. We had to go get that done today. She also got a flu shot, did some banking, picked up a prescription and made a couple of short trips. All in all, a big day.

I think you meant to respond to Ginny's post regarding license renewals, not about posting photos here.

Thanks to bk, DR JRand70, and DR george for the responses about posting photos here at HHW.

I keep hearing "When Ribs are Prime!" in a television announcer's excited voice in my head.

I'm up, I'm up - I guess I did get eight hours - went back to bed at ten and just woke up.

Jrand, here is your Amazon tip o' the day: The minute someone gets on the phone from customer service, if it's someone from overseas do not let them get more than a hello out - then immediately say, "Please switch me to someone in the United States."  This they will then do immediately - even if they try to speak again, say it again.  Once you have a US person on the phone things will go much more smoothly.  They can call Fed Ex and Fed Ex can call the driver, etc.

[Jrand73]

Thanks MR BK.....I won't waste time on the first person next time.

I'm pleased to announce that PAUL HENREID, the 31st play in "The Hollywood Legends" collection, is now available in paperback and Kindle editions via Amazon.

I was honored to know Paul Henreid, the charming star of classic films like NOW, VOYAGER and CASABLANCA.  A refugee from Hitler's Europe, his inspirational life was filled with drama, as well as humor.

I hope you get the opportunity to read my play.  Production rights are available.

I did find this and follow these directions to talk to someone after a useless few attempts at just calling:

How to Call a Live Person in Fedex Customer Service

    Dial 1-800-463-3339.
    Say “give me options”
    Say “more options” or press 7.
    Say “even more options” or press 7.
    Say “it's something else” or press 8.
    After that, the automated phone system will connect you to a live customer service agent from Fedex.

And it did work.

I loved Dr Fauci's put-down of that moron Rabd Paul.  Paul, Jim Jordan Tom Cotton, Mario Rubio, Ted Cruz, Matt Gaetz, Michele Bachmann, etc; they sure grow them big and stupid in the GOP.

Only in Texas.

Not only in Texas, and they grow them truly offensive as well as ignorant, to boot in the GOP.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the beach.

[elmore3003]

I just got a nasty message from DR Druxy, our own Shakespeare, but I cannot reply because he's blocked me.

Pity.

[elmore3003]

I've caused enough trouble today. I'm closing shop.

[Druxy]

I've caused enough trouble today. I'm closing shop.

Elmore:

I have no idea what I have ever done to offend you.

(If I have, I apologize.)

When I write a new play, I announce it here and elsewhere.

Why should that bother you?

What's your problem?

Test meeting for this Partridge Family thing in twenty-five minutes.  Then I'll need to eat but I cannot decide what that will be.  More hot dogs (best diet choice) or tuna sandwiches (same calories, more fat grams) or something wholly other.  I'm not gonna order in - I'll go to Gelson's or Ralph's.  Could do a chicken Caesar, too - but I usually use a little too much dressing.

TOD - There’s a restaurant here called The Meadows that is now a mere shadow of its former self.  But in its heyday, prime rib was one of their specialities and I’d always ask for the end cut because I prefer my meat more cooked than PR usually is in the center.  Two stories:

One night they said I couldn’t have the end because Mrs. So-and-so was coming in later and they always saved it for her.  They weren’t amused when I asked, “What about the other end?”

And another night no one got prime rib, because the person tasked with putting it in to cook after the lunch rush had neglected to turn on the oven.

I too tend to be heavy handed with dressing.  I find if I use about half the amount, toss and let the dressing soak in, then I don't need as much.  I can slowly add more if needed.

Your response is funny, and someone was in big trouble

[Jane]

I answered the question yesterday, before it was asked.  By far my mother cooked the best prime rib.  Well, she was a great cook and she was English.

Thanks, Singdaw.  I'll look into this, too.

Good evening.

[Laura]

I had a very nice day out of town. I went up north and met with a park ranger about reestablishing native plants in a park.

[Laura]

I can't post photos here any more, either. I gave up trying to figure it out.

[Laura]

It was 51 degrees when I got out of my car this morning. It warmed up fast, though.

[bk]

Test was fine.  Went to Gelson's and got a chicken Caesar, no extra dressing and then hot dogs and buns for tomorrow and Saturday.
