Do You Get the Message? ~ page 90 ~ T#1

I made a display of Barbies dressed in outfits conveying these messages. The first Barbie is "I want to be noticed".  The second Barbie is "I want to relax".  The third Barbie is "I want to impress someone".  The fourth Barbie is "I want to blend into the crowd.

I requested a driver's manual from the local DMV when we went to get Mom's tags renewed.  In the manual is a copy of a form to use when applying for or renewing a permit or license.  Forms for other things, like registering a vehicle, are available on the website.  To register or renew a vehicle's registrations, someone must present proof of financial responsibility such as insurance. The documents must be original, no photocopies will be accepted.  Also required are proof of sales tax and; if the car is leased, a copy of the lease.  A person must have a driver's license if they are registering a vehicle. 

To apply for a Learner's Permit, a person must be at least 15 years old.  They must take a written test reviewing information found in the manual, and they have to take a vision test.  Practice tests preparing for the written test are available on the DMV's website.  A learner's permit allows the holder to operate a car only when a licensed driver over 21 years old is sitting in the front passenger seat.  It also allows them to practice for a Provisional Operator's Permit (POP), a Motorcycle Permit (class M) or an Operators License (class O).  Driver's Ed courses can be taken at any public school administration building.

To apply for a POP, a person must be at least 16 years old.  They must have held a Learner's Permit for at least 6 months.  They must either complete a Driver's Ed course or a 50 hour certification form before applying.  Tests required are as follows: vision test if taking a Driver's Ed course, vision and drive test if presenting a 50 hour certification form.  1/5 of those hours must be between sunset and sunrise. 

To apply for a license, the individual must be at lest 17.  They must have held a POP for at least a year if they are under 18.  If they have held a POP and they are 17-21, they have to take a vision test.  If they don't have a POP and are local residents over the age of 18, the applicant must take the vision, written, and drive tests.  Out-of-state residents only have to take the vision test.

On Saturday, we helped at Christ Community Church's car care clinic.  We checked fluids on several cars.  There was a Honda, a VW, a Chevy, and a Ford.  They are all different. 

Family Living ~ SB2 ~ page 26

Our family worked together to create a family budget.  We used the concepts suggested by Crown Financial Minisries.  Our family's expenses equals our family's income.  A budget helps you to avoid overspending.  Sometimes, when a family doesn't make enough money, money must be tranferred from a non-neccesary portion of the budget such as Entertainment to cover nescarry expenses.
