In North America the term recreational vehicle and its acronym, RV, are generally used to refer to a vehicle equipped with living space and amenities found in a home. A recreational vehicle normally includes a kitchen, a bathroom, a bedroom and a living room. In other countries the terms caravan or camper van are more common, and the vehicles themselves vary, typically being smaller than in North America. RVs are intended for everything from brief leisure activities such as vacations and camping, to full-time living, for which they are often parked in special trailer parks. (However, many trailer parks are reserved just for mobile homes, not to be confused with RVs and motorhomes.) RVs can also be rented in most major cities and tourist areas.

Question by illinoismommy: Do you know anyone who lives in a motor home permanetely?
Strange question, I know, but do you know anyone who sold all of their things and traveled so much that they just bought a motor home only? What are their options when they come “home” to their city with their family? My grandpa is going a little crazy and playing with this idea.

Answer by harbor
We know quite a few people who are “full timers” and they all love it. The only complaint I’ve heard is that they are not as close in proximity to their kids and grandkids. They are fortunate to see anything in the country that they want. Options for when they come “home” would be to either park at a relative’s home, state park or some other RV place. If Grandpa is playing with the idea – suggest that he take the motorhome out for six months and see how he likes being on the road. There is a lot to see! We love our motorhome and go to AZ for six months – that is wonderful too!

Question by BG: 10 “Fay Koprah, Come Home,” Timmy cried. c/c?
Buk was the one who stumbled on it; Hiram dropped a bit of sausage that bounced and rolled across the floor of the warehouse. (It was not an accident; Hiram just enjoyed watching Buk dive for dropped food.) Buk popped the bit of meat into his mouth, rolling his eyes at the added flavor of motor oil and debris, chewed and swallowed. He sighed contentedly, scanned the floor for possible edible matter and then saw it; it was so masterfully installed a person would have to be floor level to see it, and since Buk was, he did. It was a trap door.
Stay tuned for (Paul Harvey voice) the REST of the story…
But I digress…
The last several meetings of The Poetry and Skeet Shooting Club had featured neither poetry nor skeet shooting. Cassie, Fay’s volunteer producer and confidant, had informed the club of Fay’s diabolical plans. Meanwhile, Lilly was passing around pictures she’d taken of Fay. As added verification, Regwah was displaying the pictures he took of Lilly taking pictures of Fay. No one questioned what the photos were meant to verify; but Fay did look sinister in a couple of them. The Poets frowned in unison.
(Since I’ve written this part no less than 4 times & had it disappear, I am now submitting it and will continue on, kay?)
Upon learning of Fay’s plan to steal – yes, STEAL all of the poets’ poems, prose-es and even…even the most inane of Buk’s questions, Hiram volunteered to spy by working as a security guard for the show. Unfortunately, the timing coincided with a self-punishment practice he employed during moments of self-doubt. These moments were usually brought on by the Howard Hughes of poets – The Gen. Mty Iano. (No amount of cajoling could bring Hiram back to the brink of sanity – an imaginary edge upon which all poets live.)
Iano, who trusted no one, had his own personal spy – a manservant he called ‘Sparkey,’ although his name was Ulysses; this caused no small amount of resentment, but Ulysses had his own plans… (sorry, got carried away & I am trying to end this story.) But Uly…er, Sparkey was spying on The Poets who were spying on Fay and reporting everything to his master. He was a good, little manservant – almost gnomelike.
Buk hollared, “What’s this in the floor, Ian?” (The warehouse, along with an office building and floral shop in Yahoo, belonged to Ian.) Ian, who was looking down on Buk in every possible way, said, “Oh, I’d forgotten all about it,” and gestured for Sparky to open the door. “Come along, if you’d like to see,” he said to no one in particular. All the poets followed, decending the steps into an underground bomb shelter. It was most luxuriously furnished, although the furniture was early Khruschev. It was immense as well. “Fay,” someone said.
MSNBC NEWS Bulletin: The disappearance of Fay Koprah has the FBI at a loss. No blood or any signs of disturbance were found at her Studio, her home or in her car. One agent, whose identity we’ve hidden, had this to say: “You win some, you lose some.”

Fay’s living rather contentedly ‘neath the warehouse and is being treated quite well. How they got her there? ShirleyF, it turns out, isn’t ‘everyone’s’ friend. Bwa ha ha ha ha

‘Anyone seen BG?’
Thanks, HH. Been trying awfully hard to entertain you.
Due to the stress on her back, Shirley had to forego wearing her gigantic tiara and the huge Key to the City of Yahoo. Also, she is getting really tired of getting up in the middle of the night to open the door. She has tried several times to return the key, but the mayor keeps ducking her calls.
Lilly, having once been awarded the key, sent Shirley a lovely picture of a lollipop. Shirley is now wondering if the sucker photo has a deeper meaning and is planning to ask the little sprite about it at the next meeting.
HEY! HH
If you didn’t get Fay Koprah was (Fake Oprah?) then I am a bad writer of funny junk. I go to weep now. Might try that stick thi… Nah, you got the patent on that.
Thanks everyone for everything & allowing Fay to play with you.
I did not mean that the way it sounded.
Meanwhile, the one they call ‘Giggles’ has been on the phone with the one they call ‘Sin’. They were recently seen in the company of the one they call ‘Eviltwin’ – a nefarious character who’s had her eye on the one they call ‘Yidiot’ who’s had his eye on the one they call ‘Debra.’ Something bad’s gonna happen; I can just feel it. I’m packing my bags; this town’s gotten too sinister for me.

Question by 85beatlesgirl: I am being fined the wrong amount on a seat belt violation. How do i get it fixed?
I was on my way to class the other day and was waiting for a red light to change when an officer asked me to pull over when the light changed green; mind you I had been at the red light for at least a minute or two before he hit his siren and tapped on my window. After we pulled into the parking lot of the nearby apartment complex, the officer cited me with a $ 123.00 seat belt violation, no other violations were mentioned what so ever.

I looked it up, and a seat belt violation for a driver in Florida is only supposed to cost $ 30.00 and they can only get you for the violation if they stop you for a different traffic violation first.

What can I do to argue this fine amount, either to get it thrown out entirely or at lest reduced. I don’t mind paying $ 30 but $ 123 is excessive especially since I am a poor college student.
“316.614 Safety Belt Usage

(1) This section may be cited as the “Florida Safety Belt Law.”

(2) It is the policy of this state that enactment of this section is intended to be compatible with the continued support by the state for federal safety standards requiring automatic crash protection, and the enactment of this section should not be used in any manner to rescind or delay the implementation of the federal automatic crash protection system requirements of Federal Motor Safety Standard 208 as set forth in S4.1.2.1 thereof, as entered on July 17, 1984, for new cars.

(3) As used in this section:

(a) “Motor vehicle” means a motor vehicle as defined in s. 316.003 which is operated on the roadways, streets, and highways of this state. The term does not include:

1. A school bus.

2. A bus used for the transportation of persons for compensation.

3. A farm tractor or implement of husbandry.

4. A truck having a gross vehicle weight rating of more than 26,000 pounds.

5. A motorcycle, moped, or bicycle.

(b) “Safety belt” means a seat belt assembly that meets the requirements established under Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 208, 49 C.F.R. s. 571.208.

(c) “Restrained by a safety belt” means being restricted by an appropriately adjusted safety belt which is properly fastened at all times when a motor vehicle is in motion.

(4) It is unlawful for any person:

(a) To operate a motor vehicle in this state unless each passenger and the operator of the vehicle under the age of 18 years is restrained by a safety belt or by a child restraint device pursuant to s. 316.613, if applicable; or

(b) To operate a motor vehicle in this state unless the person is restrained by a safety belt.

(5) It is unlawful for any person 18 years of age or older to be a passenger in the front seat of a motor vehicle unless such person is restrained by a safety belt when the vehicle is in motion.

(6)(a) Neither a person who is certified by a physician as having a medical condition that causes the use of a safety belt to be inappropriate or dangerous nor an employee of a newspaper home delivery service while in the course of his or her employment delivering newspapers on home delivery routes is required to be restrained by a safety belt.

(b) The number of front seat passengers of a pickup truck required to wear a safety belt pursuant to this section shall not exceed the number of safety belts which were installed in the front seat of such pickup truck by the manufacturer.

(c) An employee of a solid waste or recyclable collection service is not required to be restrained by a safety belt while in the course of employment collecting solid waste or recyclables on designated routes.

(7) It is the intent of the Legislature that all state, county, and local law enforcement agencies, safety councils, and public school systems, in recognition of the fatalities and injuries attributed to unrestrained occupancy of motor vehicles, shall conduct a continuing safety and public awareness campaign as to the magnitude of the problem and adopt programs designed to encourage compliance with the safety belt usage requirements of this section.

(8) Any person who violates the provisions of this section commits a non moving violation, punishable as provided in chapter 318. However, except for violations of s. 316.613 and paragraph (4)(a), enforcement of this section by state or local law enforcement agencies must be accomplished only as a secondary action when a driver of a motor vehicle has been detained for a suspected violation of another section of this chapter, chapter 320, or chapter 322.

(9) By January 1, 2006, each law enforcement agency in this state shall adopt departmental policies to prohibit the practice of racial profiling. When a law enforcement officer issues a citation for a violation of this section, the law enforcement officer must r
I called the county clerks office and it ends up that if you are given a seat belt violation in Tallahassee, Florida issued by a city cop, the fine IS $ 123.

Answer by Kate
Call the magistrate for the area which the ticket was issued (or should say right on the ticket – or maybe where the officer was from) and tell them you want to pleed not guilty and have a court date. You’ll have to pay a fee, which is like $ 7 (here in PA at least, I wouldn’t think it differs much in other states). They’ll give you a court date, take all your information with you to the hearing (the stuff saying they can only give you seat belt fine if you are pulled over for something else, and also the information about the fine only being $ 30 just in case they decide they want to fine you anyway even though there were no other violations) and hopefully it will all turn out in your favor. Sounds like that cop was just being a jerk. Good luck, I hope it works out for you.
