I post so slow that I miss stuff! Dinner was a good time. Kenny was able to get home at 6. Then there was time for a few games before taking F home. I was glad Kenny was driving, it was foggy, windy and snowing

We were having a time trying to find their drive way. Also got to meet the foster Mom and 2 of the siblings. I sent home extra cake for the kids. They came running out to greet their brother and were thrilled to see cake!

It was very sweet of you and Des (and you too Robin) to text Raymond last night. He was blushing. F asked "who Des is and is she hot

Maybe she could text me too

"

Seriously, go back home grab your fuzzy robe and slippers, and head this way, I will pour the coffee and be waiting for you. Oh and

them for me! Sheesh! You even called and everything. If they were concerned why didn't they call you and ask before ordering more? Donkeys butts!

Yea thats the way it works here too. Also you can get your permit when you are 15 IF you pass Drivers Ed. Which he did not

However the teacher expressed to Kenny that he just wasn't comfortable while Raymond was driving because of the issue of his only having the one working hand. I think it was BS that he didn't try to help with the disability. There are millions of people in this world that drive with a disability. He even promised to find who to talk to about provisions that could legally be made to a vehicle to assist Raymond. I have never heard from him after that. The hardest thing for him is putting the visor down without swerving (insert nervous smiley here)

So was Colton 15 when he got his then?

In some states you have to have a "steering wheel spinner" installed on the car if you only have one arm / hand that can be used for driving. They may also restrict him to driving an automatic transmission. These could be listed on his driver's license. The spinner is not expensive.

The reason I remember these is because I have driver's license restrictions due to my vision -- I remember seeing the other one on a list in a couple of states. I'm required to have mirrors on both the left AND right sides of the vehicle. You'd think those were required for everyone, but apparently the right hand mirror is not...

We have been told that the spinners are illegal here, but that wasn't official info

I think they are, on just any car but I would think as an adaptive device for a disability they should be ok. When he takes his test next week i am going to go in and ask them. Surely there is a list of approved adaptations and rules for such equipment. I hope! Yes on the auto tranny. I would not feel right with him driving a stick anyway, I really don't think he can. He has to have 100% concentration to drive safely as it is. It scares the crap out of me honestly. I mean he does all right now, but he is only driving on the gravel a very short distance with little or no traffic and certainly nobody else in the car, except like last night when his friend came home with him. Oh God grant me the strength!!

This reminded me of a shirt my Dad had years ago. It said... "ITS HARD TO SOAR WITH EAGLES WHEN YOU WORK WITH A BUNCH OF TURKEYS "

EXACTLY .. People in other departments will ask me "Who do you work for?" .. and when I tell them they all say "OHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhh" or " THAT explains it" .. or something to that affect ..

He's a post turtle ..

'When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top,
that's a 'post turtle'.

'You know he didn't get up there by himself,
he doesn't belong up there,
and he doesn't know what to do while he's up there,
and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put him up there to begin with'
