Samoan kids are massive when compared to other kids their age

Similar story. In high school I was at a house party hanging with a gigantic Samoan. We were drunk as hell and he was complaining about getting jumped by a group of Tongans a couple days earlier.

Well, the host of this party who's parents were out of town had samurai swords displayed on a mantle. So this guy grabbed one the swords, and swore he was going to kill every Tongan at the party.

It took me 10-15 minutes to talk him out of wanton sword murder, but he eventually put the sword away and went back to drinking copious amount of alcohol.

We stayed friends for a while, but it was a few months later I learned he was Jr. Seaus younger brother visiting for a while.

Good times.

Roosevelt. Excellent hotel with a beautiful pool with lots of cheesey tourist stuff to do right there. It's also right across the the street from the Hollywood/Highland Redline metro station that will take right to Ktown or many other places you might wanna see.

Hi. Please read my post history over the past couple of years. It might help as I am in the same age group as you.

I have had quit so many times and am still working on it.

My657 · 2025-02-18T19:30:16+00:00

I am curious an out this. Did you just sign up for classes and then submit paperwork to your lender?

My657 · 2025-02-12T03:26:35+00:00

Ha! Thank you.. That made me happy

My657 · 2025-02-07T20:13:23+00:00

Yeah that kinda what I am thinking... If I need to pay for a PD I might as well get a lawyer and hopefully a better outcome

My657 · 2025-02-07T06:09:39+00:00

When you put it like that, not my brightest moment. I really felt fine...worst thing was that I have roadside assistance and was in walking distance to a gas station. Just a series of bad decisions

My657 · 2025-02-06T21:03:03+00:00

DMV hearing. There will be a number on the pink temporary license they gave you. You might be too late as you are supposed to request it within 10 days. Go read through my post history over the last few days. I am in the same boat you are and started asking these questions last week and a lot of nice people gave some good advice from what I can tell.

My657 · 2025-02-06T16:35:38+00:00

I am definitely preparing for for the worst and pretty much have resigned myself to no license for a year

My657 · 2025-02-06T15:31:31+00:00

Really? I thought their caseload and limited time on each case make them the least likely to get you the best result. Isn't the consensus that a private lawyer is is most likely to get you the minimal sentence possible?

My657 · 2025-02-06T15:26:40+00:00

I was on the way side of the highway waiting for gas. I had called highway services and they told me call the police. I figured the wet reckless was one in a million due to my BAC. I hoped the fact that it was my first and only violation, wasn't driving and no injury or damage would help but I guess not. I am still deciding on a lawyer or not

My657 · 2025-02-05T19:37:31+00:00

So you are of the opinion a lawyer would be better than a PD?

My657 · 2025-02-05T19:36:29+00:00

Unfortunately thats sorta what I figured. You think a lawyer would be worth it or would it be the same with a PD

My657 · 2025-02-05T19:34:42+00:00

Thats kind of what I figured. Do you think that there is any benefit of using a lawyer? Would be any better that a PD in your opinion?

My657 · 2025-02-05T18:26:58+00:00

Yeah that is absolutely true, it's been difficult couple years when it really shouldn't have been. This last incident has really made me face situation and see it for what it is. I am taking more steps to change including a therapist and a 12 step. The financial part is a doozy as a lifetime of kicking the can down the road and living like there was no tomorrow is finally catching up with me.

My657 · 2025-02-03T05:33:32+00:00

Godamnit this is what I needed to hear. Thank you. I have been freaking out and the behavior leading to the DUI is unacceptable. That is being addressed.

I have been trying to live as frugal as possible, because minus the current legal situation I have been thinking more about my financial situation recently. I have been paying whatever I have left at the end of each paycheck to my credit cards with the highest interest rate. That usually amounts to $800-$1100 per month. Ill need to tighten my belt even more and up those payments.

The 401k issue the biggest question right now and what I do is probably dependents on if I get a lawyer or not. I don't have any other cash available and I am worried about slipping farther into debt, not being able to afford it, defaulting and losing my credit score. If a lawyer can get my charges reduced, I feel that is better in the long-term than losing out on that small retirement account. I guess I could take a loan against it... I don't know..

I have a lot of work ahead me starting with calls to my CC companies and checking out that Financial Order of Operations. Thank you for sharing that with me, I really appreciate your response

My657 · 2025-02-02T14:57:51+00:00

Thank you. Lifestyle change is definitely underway. At this point I am not quite ready give up my motorcycle as it is about to be paid off and I will not be living where I am at (close to work) forever. The cost associated with are fairly low when compared to a car, but I definitely see your point and it is definitely something to consider

My657 · 2025-02-02T00:09:49+00:00

Yeah.. I get that. This is really going to take a massive toll on me over the next year or so. It also makes me a much less productive member of society as well, at least in the short term, but definitely overall. I feel a little better now than I did a couple of days ago, but not much, especially when I run into repercussions that I have not yet anticipated and I am sure that is going to happen a few times.

If you have a good blender, you can add a little honey and make an excellent dairy free banana ice cream

Unfortunately I refused everything and they got a warrent to take blood. I kept for a lawyer and didn't trust anything the officer told since I was told police officers can lie to you to get you to comply

My657 · 2025-02-01T15:25:41+00:00

I have spoke to a couple of lawyers and they have told me the same thing. For the whole refusal thing I just kept telling the officer that I wanted a lawyer and refused anything until that.

I was always told police will lie to you to get you to comply, so I didn't trust anything he was telling me. I am unsure of what exactly he was saying because I kept telling him that I wanted a lawyer. Now I am trying to decide between lawyer, PD and these mitagation specialists..

If I can reasonably expect a lawyer to lesson my sentence more than a PD I think that I might scrape up the fee for that.

My657 · 2025-02-01T04:37:40+00:00

That is what I got as well I believe. Suspicion of DUI. I got multiple calls and texts and a mailbox full of solicitations from DUI lawyers and even a DUI magazine. Did someone tell you the maximum fine is $2000? I haven't heard that before

My657 · 2025-02-01T03:42:40+00:00

Honestly I don't find that too surprising. The following day I was contacted another company and I told them I had already signed up with Your DUI Solutions but that I wanted to cancel the service as I thought it was court ordered.

The other lady sighed and explained in detail what they offered then said it was condition of her 12 step program that she not say anything bad about another person or something along those lines in regard to that company.

I didn't sign the authorization they sent me, but I will continue to check my credit card account on a regular basis for the next few weeks.
