I received a speeding ticket (my first moving violation of any kind) citing 75mph in 55 zone in New Hampshire. I live and am licensed in Massachusetts. I am thinking of pleading no contest. My question is, if I get a job offer in a different state and move there, how many points if any will be on my driving record in new state?
For example, in Massachusetts you get no points for first offense (my situation).
However would if I later move to another state where 20mph over limit would be considered reckless driving? Would that mean I start off with 3 -4 points on my license in that new state because the driving record followed me from Massachusetts?
Does the driving record specify how many mph over the limit for the offense? What exact details would be on the driving record?
Thanks
To make a long story short: My husband recently got out of the Navy. We traveled all over and thought it would be nice to move back to our home state of New York. By us I mean our 2 year old son, and me and husband.
Well we aren’t happy here and we are going to be moving 4 hours away to Massachusetts. My husband has been offered a great job. 2 great jobs. Everyone on my side of the family is ok. My husband’s parents are not. They call us screaming, saying they want no contact with us because it hurts too much. She is saying we are stealing their grandchildren (I’m 22 weeks pregnant) she is saying my husband has no religious or family values, and that he is trading over his family for more money. Also, according to her, this is my entire fault and all my idea. She has told me I am selfish and putting myself before my kids.
This was my husband and I’s decision. It is only 4 more hours away than we are now. We are doing what is best for us, and we aren’t going to back down
With all the things she has said and done to me, I no longer consider myself apart of that family. Time can change things, but for now I am worried about my son and husband. Do you have any advice? I am writing her a letter.
I got an email saying this but yahoo mail won’t let me reply for some reason. How do i reply to the moderator so I can become a member?

My boyfriend just moved to Massachusetts, he has a mass ID now and is a Mass Resident. He is in the process of getting a job (has a couple of interviews and such). but at the moment he doesn’t have one. We both have gotten sick, I went to the ER and found out I Have bronchitis. I didn’t have insurance yet either, so they had me meet with a financial counselor the next morning and she had me fill out my mass health forms, told me I would get Mass Safety Net which would pay for most or all of that ER visit and everything else. But I had a job so I was able to give them my paystubs. Anyways, I am reading online that he most likely wouldn’t be eligible because he doesn’t have a job and had worked in the past 12 months.
He is pretty sure he got one of the jobs he went in for, but he won’t be receiving paystubs from them for a couple weeks.
I guess what I’m asking is. if he goes to the ER (he has been miserable for days now) and they have him apply to masshealth, does he need to have paystubs right away for them? I don’t want his application to go in and say he doesn’t have a job,…and then by the time mass health reviews it finds out that he just infact got a job.
sorry for the rambeling, I hope what I’m asking makes sense.
My dad wants to move back to Massachusetts cause all of our family is back there. The reason we moved to California my freshman year was because my mom died and i think he couldn’t take it. Well it is my senior year. And he just came home and told me the medical clinic back in Massachusetts he used to work at is hiring physicians again and he just applied online. I asked why and he said going back there a couple of weeks ago for my aunts wedding made him miss the family. Well if he gets the job we will move over xmas break! Its my senior year and i wanted to graduated here and the colleges i want to go to are within driving distance of our apartment! I just started a part time job a couple of weeks ago. He forced me to move my freshman year and leave all my friends again. I did complain about being here but i am situated now!
What do i tell him!!!!!!!? He has caused me so much problems lately!
Ok im sorry i spelt convince wrong but i really need help.
First let me tell you i am already a mother of three children. I have a four year old boy and one year old twin girls. I am a nanny to my brother and sister(my father’s second marriage) who are 8 and 11 years old. Their mother is now a single parent who owns her own biz. She is taking a new job working with a company out of massachusetts. She will be traveling at least once or twice a month. They will be at my house with me 24/7 at least half the month if not more. I raise them like my own kids. She is currently paying me $525.00 a month after taxes and pays for pizza every friday night. She also contributes at least $200.00 a month towards the food bill. I don’t want to take advantage but, i want to be paid fair. Keep in mind they are my brother and sister!! I love being a mother and love having them around. I going to have a sit down with her soon and don’t know how much to ask for ! Does any one have any advice for me?
keep in mind she makes six figures and i raide her kids!
plus she gets 1,200.00 a month for child support from our father who is on SSI and is mentally unstable.
I’m a single guy,live alone,I have a great job and I took $500 out of my paycheck to reward myself,its ok,all my bills are paid and my savings are good.my friends are not available,so its me alone.
I live in Massachusetts.
edit:please no ***!thanks
At work someone mentioned that there was a bill trying to be passed in Massachusetts which states that children up to age 26 who dont have health insurrance can be covered under their parents. Does anyone have any more info on this? It would be awesome bc it is so hard to find a job with benefits in massage.
Dear Dagboek,,
Every time I awaken in the morning, I hear my vader calling “ Pamela Kay, get up my Klein Kind.” And every morning those words make me realize that my family is Dutch, that none of my classmates fathers call them Klein Kind, instead of just saying little one. And I realize that probably none of my classmates walk down to there kitchen and are welcomed to a steaming bowl of Dutch custard, or apple and prune compote. I know that all my classmates and acquaintances call their parents, mommy and daddy, or mama and dad. I guarantee none of them call there parents, vader and moeder. Or when speaking of there parents, call them ouders.
And all of this makes me realize that I really am special. That I am not like everyone else. And not only that, but I have a perfect life. I am a straight A student in my 3rd grade class. I have all the friends I need, and I am very fit, I am ahead of my whole class in horseback riding, my ouders are close to the best, and I have no pestering siblings to annoy me.
I’m actually not an only child, though. I have a brother Baldwin who is 23, and lives in a dorm with his mate.
He’s one of the reasons I think I’ll do so well in school, and in life. One of the reasons is because Baldwin never got a grade lower then a B+. Through all his years of highschool he got straight A’s in all subjects. He was an excellent golfer, and he never gave up. Baldwin now attends Harvard University in Boston, not to far from our house.
But Baldwin was a bit less social than I. My Moeder said that he never really had friends, and that he never really wanted to. She said Baldwin was always kind towards others, but when he realized he was *** he decided to not have a social life at all. He didn’t take being *** very well, he wanted to continue having crushes on girls, and doing what guys do. And the worst problem was, he figured this out at a very young age (11, actually). So he had to go to months of therapy to understand why he wasn’t attracted to girl any longer, and why his male friends looked attractive and appealing. But once he understood all about his gayness, he really let it go. He sadly lost his friends (and he only had a few), but he really didn’t care. The reason he didn’t care was because the fact that his few friends would not hang out with him anymore just because he was *** showed him that there was a really bad problem in today’s society. And that’s what his best selling book titled “Nothings normal” is all about. And now that Baldwins become so comftorable with his condition, his “mate” is actually his new significant other. His name is Chezxer, and he is very nice.
As for my ouders, they met in Holland. They both came from very poor families, They actually grew up on the same poor street their whole childhood.
Their ouders (my grootouders) never had much hope for their family. My grootouders were severely ill, and they knew they only had very limited time to spend on the earth. When my grootouders died, my ouders vowed that they would find a way to go to college, and have a better life than their parents did. After high school they didn’t see each other for about 3 years because they both went to America, they thought they may never see each other again. But when they met up at MIT ( Massachusetts institute of technology) they started to talk again, and soon they started dating, and before they knew it they both had their master degrees in robotics, and then they knew they had done what there parents couldn’t do, they were extremely satisfied with themselves. And about 4 months later, my vader proposed to my moeder. They were married in a beautiful Buddhist church, with all their friends and families.
And it wasn’t long before they both became very successful, they both had jobs at a robotic institute and there pay checks were extremely good.
And about a year later, my moeder gave birth to Baldwin, and 14 years later, they gave birth to me.
Oh and um take in mind that this is just her first journal entry, the introduction!
