Ok--I knew things seemed too calm,and I really really felt that something wierd was gona happen,but I had NO idea it was gona go as follows:
I got off work and was headed home and had a police car riding behind me.No biggy,right?Wrong! Tyler has this new computer system that scans license plates and if you have a warrant for unpaid tickets(like the one where I slowed to a NEAR stop at a stop sign,due to grinding brakes)..which got me a ticket for "pausing" instead of a complete stop,plus inspection tag was out.What's crazy,is I was supposed to put my mini-baby-van in the shop the next day to fix those brakes and then I could inspect it.Nevertheless,I wound up in the hopital Back-2-back and didn't make the deadline on paying the tickets.So after work,I got pulled over,and brought to jail and my car got impounded.$749 to get me out after a night in jail,then I was thinking the tow fee for my car would be the norm:about$150! WRONG AGAIN! Weekend+mileage+towing,etc..was $438.95.
Well,besides all THAT drama,I was so appalled by another inmates terribly sad story,here is the link: http://www.kltv.com/global/story.asp?s=9729880
I met a really sweet 37 year old bank teller that had NEVER been to jail nor been in ANY trouble EVER.Church going,non-drinker,non-smoker,etc...with 4 kids she is raising.2 belong to her,2 belong to her X.Who,btw,the day before she went to jail professed his undieing love for her..you know the routine talk.."baby I looove you and can't live without you,etc..etc.."So she was excited that her and her X-husband were wrking things out for the kids sake as well.At 6 a.m.,she said she swung by the house and used her key,walked in and seen high scool kids sleeping all over the living room.Went to the bedroom where she found her man naked in the bed with a naked young girl! She politely woke him up so that he could see her and basically make him aware that she KNEW he was a cheater.She calmly walked out,texted him---no answer back,so 3 hours later she went back over there and EVERYONE had split.So she snapped.She took papertowels and decided to burn the sheets.She changed her mind when she started the bed on fire and threw the comfortor on the bed and beat it some to try and put it out and left.Afterwards the police knocked on her door and arrested her for Arson of a home.All the while she was thinking it JUST burnt maybe the bed or the floor a bit in the bedroom.Wrong.It had burnt the house to the ground.Nobody was hurt,but her bond was a whopping$75,000...so her preacher is trying to help her either come up w/ the 10% to make her bond,which is&7,500!UuGH!.
I spent alot of time talking to this really sweet 37 year olf mother of 3 kiddo's,that unlike myself,she had NEVER once been into ANY trouble.But her X-instead of going to Dallas that morning,he was caught at home bucknaked w/ a really YOUNG looking girl.In MY opinion,she had more control than "I" would have had! No-telling-what!I would have done,knowing ME!But I wouldn't have just walked away and went and texted him,Of course he ignored her text and so she went back over there 3 hours later..lit some papertowels to burn the sheets,changed her mind and tried to snuff out the fire on the bed w/ a comfortor.She left thinking the small fire was out.That is,until the police came to her house and arrested her for arson.In jail she told me she only THINKS that she prolly burnt maybe JUST some of the bed and possibly the floor some..MY QUESTION IS this:
What would YOU do if you walked in and seen the person that had just promised you his love for eternity and literally hours later,you walk in and see him asleep BUCK-NAKED with a school age child?
I would prolly wind up on that series on on TV called "Snapped"!!Man-O-Man! I busted my X cheating,but only by word-of-mouth,and he almost got casterated!! Can u imagine if I caught him like THAT!! I wouldn't be here blogging,prolly.I'd imagine I'd be doing some more time for a crime I couldn't take back!Now that I think about it...I suppose I better stay single...cuz that's one thing I can't deal with is a cheating bastard!(Yea,I got issues w/ that kinda shit).I suppose that's why everytime a man's zipper opens his brains fall out!lol.(sorry to all the "good" guys that don't cheat,cuz I KNOW there are some...but few & far between)...YEA! I said that.It is what it is!!
Anyways...back to what this post was about..lol...I'm happy to say the tickets are taken care of,but for pete's freakin sake,I COULD have went the cheaper route,ya know.But I simply chose to ignore it,so I suppose I better go handle-up on that other ticket out there before it gets this far!!Ohhh the worste thing about it all is when the cop comes back to the car,and says the thing I HATE hearing the most in this WHOLE world..."Ma'am,can you step out of the car please"??That HAS to be the worste thing someone in uniform can say to me!!! No wonder I have been having so many jail/prison nightmares lately! I haven't been thinking about those tickets much,but I'm guessing my subconscience was jacking w/ me in my dreams.

man, i'm sorry to hear about all your run-ins and freakiness with the cops and like that. That seriously sucks. I hope things get better and everything falls into place!
LETTI~~
It's all good,I got the tickets paid...just did it the hard way,and a bit more expensive.It would have been cheaper just to pay them in the 1st place.Another valuable lesson.UuGH!
Live and learn. It's only money.
"Oh, shut UP...it SUCKS!" I say.
Did you ever read Inmtaz Wife's blog? She was one of the strongest women I have read about. Her husband was in jail, she was in recovery, she stayed by him, kids, etc. He got out and within a few months he got high and robbed a place and was back in jail. Very shortly after that, her blog was deleated. I often wonder about her and what became of her and her family. Unfortunately, I don't think I will ever know.
I guess my point is, think about it, empathize, but try not to dwell. It's hard. Even more unfortunate, sounds like you know this woman.
One of the hardest things to do is to put things in perspective. It's something that I work on every day.
PS...I am very touched to hear that I inspired you. I left a comment on my blog about it.
You are also one of the strongest women I have 'seen'. Keep with it.
You're right about the zipper/brain correlation...but at least the cop didn't open his up and ask for the "breathalyzer" test.
Daggone girl, you need to have someone check your body for that bad luck magnet you have stuck on you. You need to chuck that sucker. You know though, it seems like once the law gets your number they never lose it. You become a meal ticket for them.
Wow... I had to read this post twice, just to make sure I got it all! Wow, what a crazy thing to happen.
I'm sorry you had to be treated like a criminal :-(
Oh my gosh your story about the bank teller is insane. I don't know WHAT i'd do if that were to happen to me.
I'd like to think I'd be able to walk away without doing any damage (to property or his dick) but who knows?
*shaking head*
PS - I read the same blog as Eileen, about Inmatez Wife - it was a crazy read, what a strong woman she was indeed. Ever read her?
That is way to much money than i want to think about having to spend on tickets.. YIKES.. I came by from That girls adn have seen you over at Eileens place too. Just thougth I would pop over for a visit. Always looking for new great friends..
DJ~~
Leave it to you to get a laugh out of me when I do something(or NOT do something) by the book.The police-book,that is.LOL
Breathalizer!!??Uhh-huhh!Very funny.Before I'd do that,I would put the cuffs on myself!(Umm..I think)...HA
LINDY~~
I got searched twice...pat searched AND strip searched,and unfortunately nobody found that magnet,or I would have prolly got a ticket for THAT TOO.LOL
THAT GIRL~~
Great minds think alike,or so they say..cuz I'm not sure what I would have done to that cheater either!Hmmm...damage to the house?Damage to the pecker?Hmmm?? That would be a tuffy,cuz I know one time when Ray and I were working out of town(some may recall that post)...but we were at a motel,and Ray was missing in action for a while,so since his truck was still there,I figured he was just somewhere at the motel talking to someone.I walked down the sidewalk,and happened to notice a door open,and THERE HE WAS...sitting on the end of the bed and a girl was sitting indian style at the head of the bed,both fully clothed..and I simply walked/stormed in the room and snatched her up and started pounding her like a crazed maniac! For all I knew,they could have been having Bible Study!!Duhhh!(Wait! RAY...Bible Study)?? Nahhh!!
But can u imagine if they were naked?It's a wonder I didn't go to jail for that!Sheesh!I'm so glad he's out of my life,now that I think about it.
My gosh-ola!This could have been another post as much as I've rambled.
Btw,it's always so great to hear from you,hun!!
My primary blog is nbrsspot.blogspot.com. Sorry should have left that when I left my message.
Girl I am SO SORRY this happened to you! I hope somehow you get a break.
I'm sorry for that young lady too.
What would "I" do. Well it wouldn't have been arson, if my ass was sitting in jail it would have definitely have been for assault cos' I would have opened a can of whoop-ass on him.
Yeah but Tammi, you know how that is....what happens in the streets stays on YouTube.
HA HA HA I knew it was a matter of time you had a car story for us.
I'm sorry you had to spend the night in jail and that they screwed you for all that money and no flowers the bastards.
You know they dont put you in jail here for tickets.
The just dont give you plates
As for the lady, I hope she didnt admit to anything because until they can pout the smokin gun in her hand the house burnt down because some father found the slime ball messiung with his kid
MONOGRAM Q~~
Great minds think alike!! Cuz I'd be sitting right there in jail w/ you.lol..I know me...and I know my temper,and to catch "MY property" laid up w/ even a grown up,much less a young girl,I'd look for the closest blow torch...Hmm..maybe that's why I'm still single...ya think?lol
