Okay, I’m pissed.  I went to go pay my Livonia Michigan taxes (speeding ticket) today.  And come to find out, I waited too long and I had to pay an extra $45!

 

This is why I’m pissed:

 

I got a ticket for speeding where there was NO speed limit sign posted.  Also, my car can’t get up to that speed in the time that the cop radared me.  I thought I had 30 days to reply/pay.  Well, they changed it to 21 days.  But you wouldn’t know from looking at the ticket.  The entry on the ticket actually looks like the cop wrote “01 days”.  I called the courthouse up and they said that I can pay the fine and request to have the late payment set aside.  Which I should have done, but figured it wasn’t worth the $30.  I then get a postcard saying I have 14 days before they suspend my license.  I go to the courthouse today to pay this.  On the 14th day mind you.  And she says that my license has been suspended.  WHAT!?!?  Now I owe them an extra $45 to reverse it!  So, for speeding where there was no sign and for a speed that my car couldn’t do, it cost me $180!!!!!!!

 

I was just sitting here looking at the postcard and read this: “NOTICE: You may have the right to set aside a default by requesting a hearing within 14 days of the mailing date.  You must post a bond equal to the total fine and costs noted when requesting a hearing to set aside a default.”

 

You know what that means?  It means the B1TCH lied to me and I could have had more than the late fee taken off!  I could have had the whole damn thing reversed!  But I didn’t look at the card until now.  Dammit!

 

Crap like this makes me want to quit my job here in Livonia and never drive through this damned city again!

 

CAUTION:  AVOID LIVONIA MICHIGAN IF AT ALL POSSIBLE!!!!!  TRUST ME, YOU CAN’T AFFORD IT!!!!!

Okay, so as you can see, I have those cool Google Ads up there!  So, click, click, click!  Make me money!

 

I’ve also added two counters…why two?  Because I want to.

 

Oh, and click on those cool links down there for United Devices, Firefox and SETI.

 

United Devices goes to grid.org.  It’s a site based off of SETI@Home technology.  Basically, you install it on your computer and it downloads a small chunk of data.  It analyzes that data and tried to find a cure for cancer, small pox..stuff like that.

 

Firefox is a web browser that is better than Internet Explorer.  Well, at least me and all other techies think so!

 

SETI@Home is the same description as grid, but you are trying to find alien transmissions.  Who knows, you may decipher E.T.’s version of “I Love Lucy”!!!

Gunna make some money!

Okay, so I signed up for Google AdSense. So, if I'm accepted, I can make money! Horay!

I haven't been too active on this lately, but I'm going to try and update this at least once a week...hopefully more.

Stay tuned!!!
