I have been waiting for this day for 10 years!

[Khephra]

Vroom, vroom!

I'll be taking off sometime around 10am today to get my license back! EVERYTHING in my life changes today...and I mean EVERYTHING!

Vroom! Vroom!

1. Woohoo!!!!!

If you ever find yourself tooling down I-35 in Texas, holler at me! Congratulations! :party:

[caledesi]

2. Good for you Khep. nt

[NightTrain]

3. Why did you not have your license for 10 years?

If it's any of my business, that is. :-)

[Khephra]

5. I used to be a raging alcoholic in my early 20's

because I had undiagnosed manic depression. I was in two DWI's and a simple car wreck...don't worry, no one else was hurt.

I was young, stupid, suicidal, and ill without knowing why I was ill...so I self-medicated myself to stop the voices in my head.

No excuse, but I'm a different person now, as many DUers can tell you.

In Indiana they have a law that takes your license away if you get too many points (for whatever reason, they can be speeding tickets) for ten years. Today my ten years is up.

:-)

[ajacobson]

41. Ten years!?

Holy crap, that's ridiculous.

[Capn Sunshine]

46. I think I would have moved

but I'm from L.A. where a car is an absolute necessity

[gmoney]

4. 10 years?

Dare I ask what happened that you've not had a license for 10 years?

Good luck, but watch out. There are a lot more bad drivers (and SUVs) on the road today than there were 10 years ago.

[Philostopher]

6. Well, all right, Keph!

No doing donuts in the grass, though, K? You want to keep it a little while, at least ...

[Khephra]

7. I promise! No donuts in the grass

Although I might use my new license to go and get some donuts. Is that ok?

:evilgrin:

[Philostopher]

16. Personally, I recommend Tim Horton's.

If they've got them out your way. The coffee's A-1. Eh.

[ZenLefty]

8. Drive safe!!

And congrats on your newfound freedom! :D

[Khephra]

9. I'll finally be able to get more involved in the local activism scene

Woo hoo!

That and go to the library. I'm a simple man with simple needs. ;-)

[ewagner]

12. Just got off work

but a belated congrats Khep!

[AlienGirl]

10. YAY KHEPH!!!

I'm so happy for you!!

[Demobrat]

11. Be careful out there.

It's not how you remember it. The roads are the same, with maybe a few more potholes. But there are ten times as many cars and half of them are SUVs as big as tanks, everybody's 20 times as pissed off and the assholes are all packing heat. Have fun.

[David Zephyr]

13. Go Khephra!

I am very happy for you!!!!!!!!!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

14. Drive careful!

Guess you won't be needing the services of the hood of my car anymore :D

[KG]

15. alert the media!

be careful out there. bro. :)

[corarose]

17. Congratulations kheph

You have done so much for yourself in the past 2 1/2 years.
I envy you so much.

:grouphug:

[Cooley Hurd]

18. Congratulations, Kheph!

I haven't been able to drive a car for 17 days (recuperating from a car accident) and already I'm feeling "trapped." I can't imagine what it's been like for you for 10 years.

If run out and buy a new car (to go with your new license), buy something that holds up well after hitting a tree (that would not be a Porsche - take it from me - Yeeouch!)

[Kenneth ken]

19. Congratulations!

Ten years is a *long* time! Be good now -- :hi:

[Myra]

25. Do be careful out there. I'm happy for you; just be careful. Ya hear?

Does this mean you won't be posting as much 'cause you'll be out cruising?

[areschild]

26. As long as you're not in Houston

cuz I'll be on the road, also. :o

Just kidding, Keph. Congrats!!

[Khephra]

27. Thanks everyone! And don't worry

I'm a very good driver. (he says in his Rainman voice)

[GCP]

28. Kheph, you are the BEST success story on DU!

The way you have changed your life around is absolutely inspiring, and I believe that DU and the support we've been able to give to you and others is fantastic.

I love this site, and we all love you.

What a wonderful reward for all your hard work! :D

[goobergunch]

30. Congratulations - doesn't this mean you change your nick today?

:toast: :bounce: :party: :bounce: :toast:

[Khephra]

32. I had to back out of doing that

There's more than a few family members who read this site, but they don't know my name. They don't read it enough to know who I am, so I'm safe from having to deal with them in real life.

I'm not scared of the RW or anyone else knowing about me, but I sure as heck don't want some members of my family following every little thing I say here.

[Rabrrrrrr]

31. Score!

And congratulations! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Enraged_Ape]

33. Dude, that is great

But be careful; there are a lot more crazy m*f*ers on the road today than there were 10 years ago!

[cmd]

34. Congrats, Khephra

Less that two hours to go now. Carry that card with pride. You deserve it.

[Blue-Jay]

37. All right, Kef!

Wanna race?

[commander bunnypants]

38. Congradulations

Remember gas on right, brake on left, 20 over the speed limit is reckless driving.

Damn 10 years.

[Southpaw Bookworm]

39. My hat's off to you

:party:

My younger sibling is in a similar place, though he's been licenseless not quite as long.

So, where you gonna drive first?

[Khephra]

40. Probably just around the block today

I'm too broke from paying insurance to actually go out and do something until I get my paycheck on Friday.

Pout!

;-)

[NYYFan]

42. Fantastic Scott !!

Congrats !! Have fun !!

:loveya:

[soleft]

43. Remember what Mr. Miyagi said

License is no substitute for eyes, ears and brain.
