Prison Picture Renewed

It's that time again. Birthday coming up soon and DMV sent me a wonderful reminder in the mail that it was time for me to renew my licence. In my life I can count on one hand the number of pictures I've had taken that actually look nice. This isn't one of them. It's going to take two weeks for me to receive it in the mail. They gave me a plain black and white photo of what it will look like. Black and white probably makes it look worse than it will when I get it in the mail, we'll see when it arrives. Anyway, when I got home and checked the mail I saw this wonderful reminder that my birthday was coming up as well. It makes me laugh. I can get a free pair of sun lenses. I only need to pay $129.95 for the frame. How generous of them. Not! One thing that did have me concerned when I renewed my licence was the vision test. I have cataracts and those letters were dancing and blurry. It took a few seconds for me to read that top line of letters. I'll be very happy when I can get that surgery and be able to see properly again. Picture is the free offer that came in the mail. I'm so happy people are concerned about my getting older with free offers and letters from DMV. It makes me feel special. I'll have my new licence before my birthday. They were kind enough to punch void on the current licence. They are so thoughtful at DMV. Has anyone made you feel special lately? Thanks for reading.

DMV made me feel special by making me wait in line for three hours when I finally had to go in to get my license renewed. The picture they took looks like a prison mug shot. No way I was going to smile after that ordeal.

I got there before the doors opened so I didn't have a long time to wait. I wouldn't be smiling either after waiting for 3 hours.

I hope you had a great birthday. I do not always like pictures I take also. There are people here that have made me feel loved and you are one of them Valerie and I have another friend I know that makes me feel good. She is there when I need to vent and I listen to her vent too. It is a two -way street.

Yes, I had a very good birthday. Thank you. I'm very happy I make you feel loved. It's always a good feeling when we feel that from people.

I have never got free offers when it comes to glasses. I often have to pay high prices. My cousin recently gifted me some jewelry and it was unexpected

That offer isn't free either. I'm glad your cousin gifted you some jewelry.

No special here but hope your birthday will be Valerie. We do not get reminders for our licences here in CO.

We do and they are not at all shy about charging extra if we renew late.

Now that you mention your upcoming birthday, mine is approaching too. I think that we celebrate on the same day if I'm not mistaken. I'm turning the big 55 and it is really bothering me this year-I feel so old.

@just4him No, mine is on the 20th, and I'm 10 years younger. But, we can share wishes together over those 24 hours.

I don't want to turn back the hands of time. I'm a bit older. Is yours the 19th? I'll need to remember that. I'm turning 64.

Here you don't have to wait for your new license or ID card. When you go to DMV they take the picture and produce the card while you wait

They used to do it that way, but not anymore.

@Elizaby I had it done that way eight years ago, but that's not the way anymore. Now it comes in the mail in ten days.

@just4him That don't make sense since equipment is available to do it while one waits and to me that is safer than sending it in the mail where there are homes where it can easily be removed from the mailbox that is a street side

My license was up for renewal but not until August - but I did it online and they used the last photo, which is really abut 17 years old but I'm fine with it LOL

@just4him When we move from one county to another we have to start from scratch - new license and more money. We have lived in 4 counties so far.

I had to go in versus doing it online because I moved so needed to update the address.

As far as I know Mississippi doesn't send out reminders. That's a good idea.

We can renew online or go in. I needed to go in because I moved last year so needed to get everything updated.

Do you have to take another driving test at a certain age? I think we have to have one at 80.

Not that I'm aware of. Though I expected the license would expire sooner, but I still have an eight year licence.

Can't say that anyone has made me feel special but that is okay. I don't expect it.
