HI

I am sorry that things are so rough for you right now. My suggestion would be go to the court and ask for an extent ion to get things taken care of if you haven't asked for one yet they will give it to you. As for the $698 fine ask for a court date so you can talk to the judge and explain your side of the story many times he will reduce the fine and let you make payments on it. Just try to do it as soon as possible if you can because the sooner you go there the less stress you will feel. The traffic court clerks are pretty good about helping you out. I have gone there many times trying to straighten out a lot of stuff for my son and they are great about it. Things will get better

I truly believe that God will NEVER put more on

us than we can bear. Just continue to pray because in

the midst of your going through, He will show up on

the scene and make a means of escape. We have to

remember to pray that " Lord let your will be done " .

Some times God has to remove somethings out of our

life just so He can increase. I know it does not make

much sense to you at all right now but catch in the

spirit. Just stay faithful to Him and He is going to

bless you.

I will keep you in my prayers.

I'm not a lawyer. However, I've had my own share of difficult

registration problems with cars. If I understand your situation,

here's the chronology:

1. You got a ticket because you were driving it without registration,

but you can't get it registered because you can't get it smogged.

2. You can't get it smogged because of the ticket on your record for

parking in a disabled space without a proper permit.

3. You forgot to take care of that ticket because you got it just

before you had major surgery.

4. You got the ticket because you didn't realize that the disabled

parking permit had expired.

5. You didn't realize the permit had expired because it arrived

unpunched, and you didn't want to tamper with it.

What this all sounds like is something that you need to explain to a

traffic court judge. It sounds scary, but sometimes they can work

things like this out - ESPECIALLY if you acknowledge the things that

went wrong, and don't try to argue that " it really wasn't my fault "

(they get that a LOT, and it just doesn't fly with most of them!) It

would probably help if you still have the actual handicapped placard,

so you can show that it really wasn't punched out. If you're trying

to get it registered, and the only thing stopping you is the ticket,

then IF the court is willing to dismiss it you should be able to take

care of the registration.

You'll need to talk to someone at the traffic division of the police

dept. that gave you the fix-it ticket. Explain the situation and tell

them that you want a court date. If the judge dismisses the parking

ticket, then what they may do is give you another deadline to get it

registered by or you could face additional penalties.

Bear in mind that I'm going by memory from my own experiences here,

so I may have left something out. The DMV or the Traffic Division

will be able to give you more current info. However, if you can't

afford the fines, it might be worth a court appearance to get this

mess straightened out.

Good luck! I'll keep you in my prayers.

Well, in the words of Mother , haven't I proved I can handle a lot--isn't it someone else's turn (lol!) The hidden (or not so hidden) blessing is that without having had surgery, physically I wouldn't be able to handle this. Did you catch the comment about cleaning the bathroom?!

I can have an extension and I can make payments but DMV won't register my car until it's paid in full and I'm already past due. I thought I could get a temp regs but the only way you can do that is if everything is paid in full. The guy was really nice, but that's their rule.sweetgemlady656@... wrote: HI I am sorry that things are so rough for you right now.

Chris:

Your post really touched me.

Last night I went to my church's Taize service--all candles, soft

beautiful music, guided meditation, and prayer.

When it was the time of the service to offer up our thanks and grief

in prayer, I approched the purple-clad altar and I lit a candle for

you. The altar was low to the ground, centrally located in the

sanctuary, in the shape of an octagon so that people could sit on the

floor, face each other and the central flowers and candles (calla

lillies, lilacs and sprigs of rosemary), and pray. I was in front of

a tall white candle under which was a stone with a huge formation of

white crystals. Each crystals had little fire bursts of reflected

candle light.

As I prayed, the darkened sanctuary was bathed in the light of

hundreds of candles as more and more people came forward, sat down

and lit candles. Some people cried as they prayed. I always cry

when I pray at this service. As I prayed the choir sang softy to the

piano and cello. These words were repeated over and over until

everyone had a chance to leave their cares at the altar:

Come and fill our hearts with your peace

You and all your world are holy

Come and fill our hearts with your peace

Alleluia

that's my prayer for you. May you find peace.

Hi, I've always found your posts to be so inspirational and I am moved to tears at your loving kindness. Thank you so much. Words can not express how grateful I am that you thought enough of me to do that.

- I am truly sorry your are going throuhg such rough times

right now. Remeber you can cry on our shoulders anytime, that's what

He will bring you through this too. Don't lose faith and remember

that prayers can work, you know that. We are all behind you. Let us

know how things go. I know you will be in my prayers.

  • 3 years later...

I have Celiacs/Candida overgrowth and have been one of those that gains weight.

Since I started the diet I have gained 4 more pounds. I'm not really sure what I

am doing wrong. Perhaps I am eating too much DCCC (?) 8-16 oz. per day (but I

feel like it is the only filling thing I can eat right now) I use the lowfat

goat's milk for yogurt and have not been eating any fruit/honey. However, I was

not eating much if any meat prior to SCD and am now eating meat as well as lots

of veggies. While I have a lot less pain in my stomach, I feel pretty lethargic

and have very low energy. I am a runner and have been able to run 1/4 of what I

used to run and very slowly--which I am okay with, but didn't really want to

gain more weight. Are these symptoms normal? I am thinking of cutting out the

cheese and eating less meat (and possibly trying fruit again) but more than

anything I just want my stomach to heal so I don't want to do something to

prevent it from getting to it's best. I've been doing SCD for about 3 weeks now.

I think it may be the DCCC. I ate it at every meal because it was

well tolerated and is great slightly melted with butter, honey and

cinnamon. That sounds like a lot to me but in the beginning, it can

be hard to find enough fruits/vegetables to add in.

There is a method of finding x amount of fruits/veggies you can

tolerate and rotate it until you are well enough to start adding in

other foods. That way you don't eat too much of one thing. A lot of

people get into trouble with the peanut butter, almond butter or pork

rinds. I'm like you as far as liking the DCCC. If you have a plan

every week (Kim M. is great with this as well as the other moderators)

then you won't eat so much of one thing to make up for the difference.

I ate baby lima beans, carrots, yellow squash for a long, long time it

seemed like. But at least I was getting real food to stay...

Everything in moderation, a lot of people eat pumpkin, butternut or

acorn squash, peaches, apples, etc.

Pecanbread.com also has stages which work for some but use caution.

I think it may be the DCCC. I ate it at every meal because it was

well tolerated and is great slightly melted with butter, honey and

cinnamon. That sounds like a lot to me but in the beginning, it can

be hard to find enough fruits/vegetables to add in.

There is a method of finding x amount of fruits/veggies you can

tolerate and rotate it until you are well enough to start adding in

other foods. That way you don't eat too much of one thing. A lot of

people get into trouble with the peanut butter, almond butter or pork

rinds. I'm like you as far as liking the DCCC. If you have a plan

every week (Kim M. is great with this as well as the other moderators)

then you won't eat so much of one thing to make up for the difference.

I ate baby lima beans, carrots, yellow squash for a long, long time it

seemed like. But at least I was getting real food to stay...

Everything in moderation, a lot of people eat pumpkin, butternut or

acorn squash, peaches, apples, etc.

Pecanbread.com also has stages which work for some but use caution.

Cindy,

I have heard it said many times that SCD will eventually balance out a person's

weight. If you are thin sometimes you lose even more weight at the beginning

and then gain it back to a healthy level. Others have the opposite problem and

gain at the beginning then lose. I think that I would cut down on the DCCC as

well and try to up the intake of good fats (yes, FATS) in proportion to your

protein and carbs. Avocados and coconut oil are really good and healthy. They

will help you feel sated, give you nutrients you need, and help keep your blood

sugar levels stable. All foods (fats, carbs, and protein) are broken down into

'simple' sugars (not to be confused with table sugar/sucrose) in the body -- yes

even fats. Some research indicates that good fats should actually be somewhere

near 60% of your caloric intake. Sounds amazing I know. Here is some

information in that regard: http://www.second-opinions.co.uk/fat-not-protein.
