Damn, I'm old. I bought that album when it came out.

That's because it WAS his first role. But "White Lightning" was the first thing I saw him in.

I'd imagine it's because of the old picture being 4 years old, using it would mean a 12 year old picture the NEXT time renewal came up. I had just renewed my driver's license with a new picture 2 weeks before I renewed my permit, so they were able to use THAT instead of renewing in person. But I renewed the permit 4 months early online, and didn't wait for the renewal to come In the mail.

I first got my permit in 2006, so I guess this was my 3rd renewal. Since that time, the 4 year renewal has changed to an 8 yr for the same price. So the cost of a regular renewal has effectively dropped 50%. I don't remember what the original price of the lifetime was, but it has dropped significantly also. There's nothing to indicate that the price on either will go up. I just figured by the time I used up what a lifetime costs, I would be 92, and I doubt if I'll care whether or not I have a valid permit by that time, and probably wont even need one if I'm still around.

That's exactly what happened to me on my driver's license this year. I got the renewal in the mail, and thought "I'll do it later" on-line. A week or so AFTER my birthday, I was driving to work, and realized I was driving on an expired license. Luckily, I was off a couple of days later, and was able to catch the DMV open. Then I checked on renewing the permit so the same thing wouldn't happen again. I thought about doing the lifetime since renewing was $50.00 every 4 years, it would only take 16 years to pay for itself. Then once I realized it was only $50.00 for EIGHT years of renewal, lifetime didn't make a lot of sense for me. I renewed in February, and mine didn't expire till August, and like it was said, my first thought was that I cheated myself out of 6 months, but 8 years from now, who cares. I look at it as getting 42 extra months for the same price that I paid on the last renewal. I also received the renewal in 8 days or so.

AAAK.. ..Double Cola is the "Milwaukee's Best" of colas. It's even worse than RC, which makes it pretty much undrinkable. Pour your Coke over a full glass of ice, then let the ice melt and you'll have Double Cola. I used to have an aunt that worked at Standard Candy back in the 50's and 60's, and we were always told the Goo Goo started out as just a collection of scraps from everything else that they made, and they took off from there.

Got it's twin bother myself.

Welcome from next door.

PX-4 Compact has actual ambi slide releases

  But I do appreciate the effort. Maybe the next one.

Randall, That was me. There's not many days that I don't get on several times and scan through, I just don't say very much.   Correction: That was what I was going to change it to, but MacGyver was nice enough to do it for me after I messed it up.

Thank you sir. I tried to send a request through the "contact us" link last night. That can now be ignored.

Would one of you fine administrators please change my display name back to Varmint. I was trying to get rid of the "TGO Newcomer" label, and just wasn't paying attention.   I guess if it is a minimum post related thing, it will always be there. After 8 years and just over 50 posts, it will take forever to get there.   Thanks,  Terry

Thanks Willis. I appreciate the effort.   Terry

  Willis, If this changes at some point, please inform me. Otherwise, I'll have to pass. I've had to adapt to a lot of right-handle stuff in my years, but this would just be too awkward in a crunch.   Terry
