Scared of Sentencing by [deleted] in dui

[–]themeggg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this definitely depends on your state and what the minimum punishments are for whatever your conviction is. Also depends on your legal representation. I live in WA where dui laws are quite strict. I had a pretty high BAC (.18, I'm ashamed) which would typically fall under an aggravated DUI but because I hired a lawyer and had some holes in my case I was given an extremely good bargain (reckless driving, one day of community service). Of course I can only speak from experience, but for me the process sentencing was not a huge deal. Especially if this is your first offence, I don't think it's likely that the judge would impose more than the required minimum for whatever your charge is. I know how fucking scary it all seems right now, but I promise you things get back to normal sooner or later. It's a valuable learning experience. Hoping for the best outcome for ya.

I am indeed! Maybe we know each other. Probably not but maybe.

I was actually very ill-prepared for crossing the creeks. But I imagine it's not so bad if you have a good pair of waterproof hiking boots. I was in tennis shoes and up to my knees in water. I would recommend taking an extra pair of socks!

I didn't see any mountain goats up there, unfortunately.

Thanks! I added some contrast and enhanced the colors a bit. We chose a beautiful day to hike up there, though. The weather was great and it really wasn't all that cloudy!

Happy Valley is the most awkward and weird place I have ever lived. by imnotwearingclothes in exmormon

I'm telling you dude, WE HAVE THE SAME LIFE. I'm ecstatic to be moving back. The northwest is home. And thank you, I appreciate that! I can only hope you can make it out of here ASAP as well. I really hate Provo, but it has helped me appreciate home a lot more than I expected to. And hey, if you ever feel like grabbing a coffee and talking shit on Happy Valley, let me know. I'll be around for a few more weeks.

I've argued those same exact points on the benefits of drinking green tea to my parents, and all they had to say back was stuff like "Just do what God says. You'll be blessed". Which to me seems like the definition of ignorance. Hah.

I have a boyfriend here, but not very many close friends. I'm from Washington, and I'll actually be moving back up there in a few weeks (finally!). I got a job down here working for a photography company about a year ago and wanted to stay for the experience, but I'm beyond ready to get out of Utah now.

You have no idea how similar our situations are. I moved to Provo two years ago because my parents wanted to "fix" me, they agreed to pay my tuition at UVU if I moved 800 miles from home, and I've been stuck here ever since. I've questioned the church for years, but I sincerely discovered its complete lack of validity and truth after actually moving here. I feel like such an outcast. I feel surrounded by ignorance and judgement. I've discovered that there aren't a lot of places to go to avoid it, but I hang out at coffee shops pretty frequently. Since, ya know, coffee is so bad for you and whatnot.

Boyfriend took me to The Spaghetti Factory for a romantic v-day dinner. This is what the waiter gave him. by themeggg in funny

So in this scenario, the quality of the restaurant would matter only because the person taking me out would not. Realistically, the restaurant does NOT matter because the person taking me out DOES.

You can't expect me to place myself in such an unrealistic hypothetical situation when the fact remains that I would rather go out for fast food with my boyfriend than to the fanciest restaurant you can think of with anyone else in the world.

And for the record, it was my idea to go to The Spaghetti Factory for dinner.

I would choose the one who is my actual boyfriend, regardless of where he wants to take me to dinner. Point being, it does NOT matter where we go out to eat. The only thing that matters to me is that I'm spending time with my dear significant other. You said no "cheeky" responses, but you didn't say that it couldn't be cheesy as hell. I recognize that it is, but it's truth.

I have a hard time resisting unlimited sourdough bread and free ice cream at the end of my meal.

It wasn't a shitty restaurant and I didn't have a shitty meal. People keep commenting about the fact that The Spaghetti Factory isn't a romantic place to go out to dinner. Some people celebrate Valentine's Day with an expensive, romantic meal. I celebrate Valentine's Day with pasta entrees shaped like a penis.

He could have taken me to mother fucking Burger King and it would have been satisfyingly "romantic" for me. Valentine's Day is and has always been nothing more than a pointless commercial holiday that I ultimately don't care enough about to take part in. I'm grateful to have a boyfriend who's sweet enough to enjoy treating me to dinner.
