Reviews of Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles Locations and Hours
Visited the RMV's Springfield office on 2/18/2015 at 1:04 pm. Waited for an hour and noticed, in my assigned line (B) there were only 7 people served in 55 minutes. Given my number, I could expect to wait until 5 pm. I decided to return my number to the front desk staff, who informed me they were having computer trouble. Why not tell customers?!! And give us the opportunity to return at another time. So disrespectful.
i have been calling for two weeks straight and am wondering if anyone really works here or if our taxes are only paying the outrageous phone bill for the on hold time. this automated system is for the birds. i only have a certain amount of time to find out how my liscense got suspended when the fine was paid in january.
i want to know if you renew your licnese a month after it has alread expired do you have to do all the road testin and permit all over again?????
I forgot to renew my license
My birthday was 4/25/1946 can I renew it today on line?
I am out of state and need to speak with someone at the registry, however I waiting on hold for over 3 hours yesterday without any human interaction and I have now been on hold for over 1 hour this morning with the same results. I have also emailed and asked for someone to contact me, but I have not heard back from the MA registry in any way, shape or form.
If you are going for finest contents like I do, simply pay a visit this website daily since it offers feature contents, thanks
i would like to know if the rmv is open monday december 26th, i need to register my vehicle
When I visited the Boston RMV Branch this week I was told that I had to go to the Quincy Branch for the relevant issue, a temporary handicap placard. The RMV site, however, shows there is no Quincy branch. It does not appear on the lists of branches, maps, phone lists, etc.
I payed to get a new license cause it had expired but I never received it and then was told I had a default warrant so they couldn't send it out to me do to suspension. Well I went to the court house and had the Warrant removed. Now does the RMV automatically send me my license or do I have to call or go to the RMV.....and am I suppose to pay again? Any help would be much appreciated.
The People at the DMV are hardworking and understanding.
I went into the registrry and explain my case. the ticket was $700 and it was lower to $350 i told the officer i would need some time in paying the ticket. she told me i would be fine as long as i pay it. i cannot find the paper work she gave me and want to clear this up. i jus wanted the amount i owed and were do i go to pay it.

Any other mamas who were married to fabulous men, had sweet babies and then realized they were gay? I'm at that point in my life. Married for 8+ years to my best friend and we have 2 beautiful kids (who are 8 and almost 6). It's been in my mind for at least 7 years, but not until now has it finally dawned on me that I'm not just bisexual, but actually gay. It's a scary process for me since I've built my life around heterosexuality, and the thing is, I love my husband. He and I have our issues, of course, but we are almost always on the same page and get along really quite well. He is very supportive of me, but feeling the need for an intimate relationship with someone, not just a brother/sister relationship. I completely empathize, but good heavens it's sad to think of giving up my best friend (and many of the dreams we've created together)!
Anyone else been through this process? How did you know absolutely that you were gay and not just "going through a phase"? I don't want to make any permanent decisions until I can face it head on with an unshakeable knowledge that this isn't going to change.
Any advice, experience or stories (etc) any of you can offer? I could really use some different perspectives right now... Especially from openminded, natural-minded mamas!!

I'm not sure yet if I have any help to offer you, but I am curious, what makes you think that you are gay? Is it the way you feel around women, or that you think about them in a certain way? Are you just not physically turned on by your husband, even though you love him?
I will tell you though, that I have known men (not so much women though) who were married for several years had children, saw them grow up and then realized they were gay, Or maybe they did know all along, but wanted to have that kind of a family experience. My uncle had 3 kids with my aunt, they all graduated high school, and then he left her for another man. So I don't think it's really uncommon, as most people may not really know who they are or who they want to be at the time of marriage, and we all change as life goes on.
first, i think you are right to try to get some clarity before making any major decisions. i think i would try to commit to individual therapy for a certain length of time (like six months) to work through it all, to feel certain and to figure out what i wanted to do - but of course, if you reach that point of certainty earlier, then act on it. and please, don't anyone take that to mean, "if you think you're gay, you need therapy." not where i'm coming from at all. more like . . . it sounds like you have conflicting feelings to work through. even if you felt sure of what you wanted to do, there's still the process of your marriage, family and identity changing. it would be unreasonable to expect anyone to go through that unsupported.
second, i'm wondering if your husband has been aware that you've identified as bisexual in the past. if so, i think that at least will be less of a shock to him to hear, "i don't really think i'm bisexual, i think i'm gay." if he doesn't know, then it sort of calls into question how close you two really are. in any case, it would probably be really hard to hear, but imo the sooner the better. it's okay to let him know about your uncertainty and fears and how much you love him but still need to figure this out.
third, you don't have to give up your best friend. if he really is your best friend, while your relationship would dramatically change, it's very possible that you will still have a relationship. if you decide you need to leave your marriage, that's going to be painful for everyone, but ultimately it's not fair to you or him for you to "settle" for a relationship that isn't really meeting your needs and in which you can't be genuinely fulfilled and happy. you could end up being great coparents who still pursue some of the dreams you hold for your family while each also living a life that is true to who you are.
while i would hate to have any aspect of my sexuality written off as a phase, there are periods of time when i have very little interest in women and other times when i have very little interest in men, so i can understand wondering if your feelings are temporary and your desire for your husband will return. it's tough. and i also understand what you mean about your life being built around being hetero, because i am right there with you. it's something i've discussed with very few people (like . . . three?) and i'm a little freaked about posting this, but whatever, people can love me, or can go suck an egg. wishing you a safe and healing journey as you find peace with yourself!
I identified as bisexual beginning at age 17 or so. I told DH that I was bisexual when I met him. It was never an issue, and I dated a few women while DH & I dated. The majority (maybe 85-90%) of our friends for a long time were LBGTQ in some combination.
We moved to a place where the gay scene is, I suppose, much more underground. At least we've never connected with it. About 2 years ago, I started to identity more as a lesbian than as bisexual. I told DH with the thought that he would want us to divorce. (We are sexually open but do not have emotional relationships - "girlfriends," I suppose - outside of our marriage.)
I felt much the same way you do, OP. DH is absolutely my best friend in the world. I love him dearly. We have children together. We complement each other well. And in the end, I didn't want to give that up, and neither did he. We decided that we would remain married. For him, he really wasn't seeking anything outside of sex from someone else, and since we're open, there was no real sense in getting divorced. We've eventually decided that we would be okay with dating people outside of our marriage as well, though we both know that really means me. We dated the same woman for a while and have talked about becoming a triad (not with her, but maybe in the future), but I'm not sure what will happen.
I've struggled tremendously with that decision as it often feels wrong and deceitful because I cannot really, truly be "out" and be married to a man. After about a year, I started to feel that maybe I'm really bisexual after all, just far, far more likely to have a relationship with a woman. Now I don't know. I don't think much about the label. None feel right to me, so I just am.
When we move next year, I want to connect with other LGBTQ parents. There are places where I can meet them, and I know that I'll have to have some identifier by then or else go into a long story every time I meet someone. But...I'll figure that out.
If DH were not open to me seeing other women, then I would get a divorce. I would try very hard to maintain our friendship and to be good parents to DC, but I really love women.
Good luck to you. I hope that you find the right path!
Thanks for all the replies!! It's nice to know that there are more struggling with sexual identity in one way or another. To answer questions...
I've been interested in the idea of being with a woman for 7ish years, when it suddenly dawned on me as an option (I was raised in a very strict, fundamentalist-type religion, so I never had allowed that sort of thought to cross my mind as an actual option). I realize now that I wasn't ready to consider (in a "for real" way) that I could be actually gay instead of bisexual, so I toyed with the idea of being with women, but not seriously. I've always been sexually dysfunctional (or so I thought), very low sex drive, often pain, etc. I am a very emotionally sensitive person who can only be with someone if I am emotionally attached as well, so I never really found a woman that fit all of my criteria (especially being that I live in a very socially conservative area). DH and I had discussed me finding a girlfriend when the time was right, because I needed to explore this and understand it. We married when I was 18, so I never really had a chance for sexual exploration as a young adult. DD was born when I was barely 19, so my whole mentality/identity shifted to "mommy" and sexuality was put on the shelf for many years.
I finally found that girl about 3 months ago. I discovered that I wasn't sexually dysfunctional, just not into guys like I thought I was. The relief was overwhelming to know that there was nothing broken about me. But to fully accept my gayness has been harder than I thought it would be (mostly because I love my husband so much). Being with a woman has been the most beautiful and natural thing I have ever experienced. Intimately, it's everything I have ever craved from a relationship. After analyzing my life, I realize that while most girls were crushing on boys and male celebrities, I was hyper-focused on the beauty of the females around me. I can't remember many males from my childhood, and have never really paid much attention to them. I always loved having boys for friends and found it very frustrating when they wanted to date me. When I became sexually active, I found sexual activities with guys very mentally straining and leaving me with an "icky" feeling that I couldn't describe (I wasn't a prude, I just felt like I was selling my soul in some way). I wanted their attentions and friendship, but not the sexual aspect of it all. Even with my husband, there are often times after being intimate that I roll over and cry, feeling like something is wrong and feeling so empty.
I keep trying to find myself attracted to men. But nothing. I just have never really wanted it, and doubt that I ever will (though never say never, I suppose). I'll be seeing a therapist this next week to discuss all of this, and hopefully find some answers. I just want to do the right thing and be an authentic person. I love, love, love my children and only want the best for them, but I'm willing to face that the best for them might be a happy mommy and daddy (that aren't together).
Thanks for listening! I'd love to hear as many stories as folks are willing to share.

The thing I wonder about what you are saying is if you are re-writing your history to make yourself gay. If you've been attracted to men in the past, enjoyed sex with men in the past, then I don't believe that you are gay, but bi. It's VERY easy for people to start re-writing the past when they are in a new relationship, esp if they are still in an old relationship.
Putting aside the whole gay/straight/bi thing, new relationships are more and exciting than old ones. The "it's everything I have ever craved from a relationship" thing is very much a new relationship thing. I'm guessing that you really don't even know her that well -- what she is really like when the chips are down. Having amazing sex and having everything you want in a relationship aren't the same thing.
I think it *might* be far easier to tell yourself that you are really gay and that's the whole problem, that to attempt to sort out what being bi really means for you. Being *just* gay is really a lot simpler. It's an out. It's the ultimate, "it's not you, it's me."
I could be totally wrong, I can just see how easy it would be for some one in this situation to re-write their history.
but everything has pros and cons
I've been friends with people who identified as "gay" or "mostly gay" who ended up marrying somebody of the opposite gender. When they "came out" to their gay/lesbian friends as being in a committed heterosexual relationship they were ostracized by the gay community. There's a lot of pressure for those who identify as bisexual to choose sides. I've noticed that oftentimes the GLBT community is less accepting if one of their own goes "straight", especially if the individual identified as "mostly gay". I've seen bisexual individuals giving themselves their own guilt trip over falling for somebody of the opposite gender.
The thing is you did make a commitment to your DH. You might not be sexually attracted to him, but a lot of people lose sexual attraction for their partner. It doesn't mean you have to run off and "find yourself". If you left your husband (that you consider to be your best friend) due to accepting that you are gay, it would basically be going back on a contract to pursue sex. You seem to get along with your husband fine from what you've said. Is the possibility of amazing (or even just better) sex worth ending your partnership?
I'd suggest you end the affair and try to fall in love with your husband.
I identify as queer/pansexual. My husband is fully aware of this. However, most people IRL do not know my sexual orientation because it honestly doesn't matter. I'm in a committed monogamous relationship with a man. I don't need to "come out" to others. I've been selectively "out" since I was at least 15.

Is there way to set up trade routes to maintain a certain goods level? For example, if I have three islands where I might want to build, is it possible to set up a route to ensure that a certain island is always "topped up" to, say, 30 building modules but no more?
Take the 2-minute tour
Arqade is a question and answer site for passionate videogamers on all platforms. It's 100% free, no registration required.
By right-clicking on goods in the warehouse or depot, you can set the minimum amount that is kept in stock. Once you've set that, you can set a trade route to unload and then load from that port and it will keep the stock of that good at the amount you set as the minimum. I did this in my sandbox game with just one "Building Materials" trade route. Using the Tycoon's ships that have 6 cargo holds, I had them set to unload then load the six types of building materials (building modules, tools, wood, concrete, glass, and steel) from each of my islands and had set a minimum on each island for these 6 goods. Set a handful of ships to the route and it worked pretty well. |

DOG BITES MAN, PART 576....I would like to nominate this for the year's least surprising headline. Here's the key sentence about the Republican legislation currently wending its way through Congress: "Many lobbyists said they consider these bills more of a nuisance than an impediment to their ability to work their will." Shocking, isn't it?
Headline too obvious to print: Lobbyists lobby anti-lobbying bill. Win. -- HRlaughed
Ah yes.
Life in the time of the Banana Republicans.
Although cunningham is prisoner number 547886, and Abramoff is spilling his guts, kind of, nothing has changed for the GOP machine. In fact, these scandles drive them all to be more careful, but the machine goes on. They want a Christian Nation, they want to see the raise of the Church again.
There is nothing wrong with lobbying. Lobbying is morally neutral. One can advocate for things that benefit the world as a whole, or one can advocate for a narrow interest. And that narrow interest may be a compelling one (e.g. research to cure a genetic diseases) or a particularly undeserving one (e.g. allowing polluters to pollute even more than they already are polluting).
I remember walking through the House office buildings a few years ago, and noticing a sign on the door of Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) saying "No gifts please." And it wasn't just on Lofgren's door, but on others as well. Bless you, Rep. Lofgren! That means you are willing to listen to lobbyists, but you will vote based on criteria other than how much is in the envelope that the lobbyist hands you — because you have pledged to refuse that envelope.
Completing the thought, the point is, solving the problem of corrupt members of Congress accepting bribes from lobbyists is not rocket science. The rest of Congress needs to follow the lead of Rep. Lofgren and others, and abide by a "No gifts" policy from lobbyists. An actual law would be helpful, but "mere" pledges with a transparent audit trail would also be salutary.
Is anyone ever going to look at publicly-funded campaigns?
Is there any way to fix this without taking the money out of the game? Or is money the only point?
Heres some pics from Saturdays Anti-war march and rally in Hollywood featuring President Bartlett http://www.thehollywoodliberal.com
Of course the lobby reforms aren't really going to amount to anything more than a nuisance. You don't expect the lobbyists would write anything with substance do you?
big companies love regulations, such as safety regulations or reporting regulations. it keeps competitors out.
i imagine lobbyists would like some barrier-type reforms for the same reason.
Is there any way to fix this without taking the money out of the game?
Why, yes, there is. Reallocating wealth and power will balance the political playing field. As long as we as a socielty worship money, and give all power to those that have it, we cannot fix this problem.
Publicly funded campaigns, like most reforms, would be good for a little while. Then someone will notice that incumbent parties inherently, under such a system, have an enormous advantage over start-up parties and fringe parties.
One will also notice that the incumbent, subsidized parties have become enormously more arrogant and over-bearing, once they no longer have to seek donations from the public to exist. There will be taxation, not donation, and the money will flow to the major parties no matter how insensitive and inept they become.
Today I heard Chris Matthews essentially argue that we in the blogsphere won't get off our asses and build grassroot organizations. Andrew Sullivan tried to argue the point, but the snear never went off Matthews face. He thinks we are all (both right and left) self-absorbed intellectual snobs "too good" to actually get our hands dirty.
The only solution, of course, is for us to all get involved. Instead of just writing posts, we should all be sending contributions to honest candidates. We should be electing folks who are willing to say "no gifts, please" and mean it. We should be unelecting folks who accept the large legal bribes from big companies.
You want a real reform. Last I looked the media companies don't own bandwidth. The public does. How about requiring television stations to provide X hours of free advertizing to candidates. Of course, such a reform will never happen, but it could go a long way to leveling the playing field.
No Ron they don't...but they own the people that manipulate it, and that is all it takes. I say let Matthews snear, that is all he is good at as far as I can see. Talk about people living in their own world...he is a beltway baby on several levels.
Matthews just figured out that he hopped on the wrong bus.
I wonder how dirty his hands get with that 200+k a year GE salary.
Yes, this is obvious. But that doesn't mean the Abramoff scandal is irrevelant. Its importance is as a deterrent. The politicians who lose their jobs over this will act as an awful warning to others, for a while at least--keeping things somewhat cleaner, for a while at least.

The Swan at Great Easton is a delightful privately owned Freehouse situated 3 miles north of Dunmow off the B184 towards Thaxted. Dating from the fifteenth century The Swan retains a wealth of original features with a heavily oak-beamed lounge bar and large inglenook fireplace. This friendly and welcoming village pub-restaurant is owned and run by David and Karen Scott who bought it in October 2002. Since then they have transformed it creating the comfortable environment you find today. In particular there is the cosy lounge bar with a log-burning stove deep comfortable sofas and armchairs as well as the welcoming beamed restaurant overlooking the pretty well-kept garden. The Swan is now one of a dying breed: a privately owned Freehouse actually run by its owners. You will find exceptional food and service in a relaxed and friendly environment Their hard work and dedication to running this now widely well-reputed establishment has meant that David and Karen have taken The Swan into the prestigious CAMRA Good Beer Guide for the sixth year running and also the CAMRA Good Pub Food Guide. David is the Chef and Karen works front of house - behind the bar and in the restaurant. In between times they have a young family to manage – Ben is nine years old and Beth is seven.

Patricia Carola Velásquez Semprún (born 31 January 1971) is a Venezuelan actress and fashion model.
Early life[edit]
Born in Maracaibo, Venezuela, Velásquez, the fifth of six children, was the daughter of Venezuelan parents. Her father is mestizo and her mother a member of the Indigenous Wayuu people.[1][2] Her parents were both teachers; her father also worked for UNESCO and as a result, she spent some of her childhood in Mexico and France. She attended San Vicente de Paul High School, graduating in 1987. In 1989, she participated in the Miss Venezuela pageant, where she placed as 2nd runner-up (technically 7th place in the 1989 edition of the pageant). After 3 years of college studies, Velásquez left for Milan, Italy, in pursuit of a modelling career.
In 1997, she studied acting in Los Angeles and New York.[3] In 1998, she paced down runways in ready-to-wear fashion shows for designers such as Antonio Berardi, Bella Freud, Corinne Cobson, Claude Montana, and Dolce & Gabbana. As for print advertising, Velásquez appeared in ads for Chanel's Allure, Roberto Verino's Verino fragrance, as well as Victoria's Secret. Early in her modelling career, she appeared in several issues of the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. This led to a large number of further modeling engagements, which ultimately culminated in her being ranked #45 on the Maxim Hot 100 Women of 2001[4] and #16 in Stuff magazine's "102 Sexiest Women in the World" poll in 2002.
Velásquez played Anck-Su-Namun in the 1999 film The Mummy and its 2001 sequel The Mummy Returns.
She had a special appearance on "Breaking the Girl" video of the alternative rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Velásquez played the character of Begoña on several episodes of The L Word during its 5th season (2008). She had a recurring role on the television series Arrested Development playing Marta Estrella. On CSI: Miami, in the episode "From The Grave", she appeared as a guest star, playing Celia Gonzalez. She had a recurring role in the first season of Rescue Me playing Nez, the ex-girlfriend and mother of Franco's daughter, Keela. She most recently guest starred on Ugly Betty.
Velásquez competed on behalf of the charity the Wayúu Tayá Foundation on the twelfth season of The Apprentice. She was fired in week 6, on March 25, 2012.
Personal life[edit]
In 2002, Velásquez founded the Wayúu Tayá Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting the Wayúu, a Venezuelan indigenous group.[5] In 2010, after the devastating Haiti earthquake, she had the Wayuú Tayá Foundation commission a special symbol of hope to raise money for the victims of the Haiti earthquake along with the slogan: Keep the "H" Close to Your Heart—Help Haiti Hope.[6] She is fluent in English, French, Italian, and Spanish.[3]
She shares a daughter with her girlfriend, Lauren, who gave birth to a girl named Maya; they separated eight years later.[7]
In February 2015, Velásquez released her memoir Straight Walk, discussing her struggles growing up in poverty in Venezuela and how her relationship with Sandra Bernhard made her realize she was a lesbian.[8] This makes her the world's first openly lesbian Latina supermodel.[9]
