6. No
I went through Diversion and the whole process cost me about a thousand dollars...including counseling which made me feel better. And I know if I get busted again for DUI ever I deserve the misery that accompanies it...

10. that's about what happened to me...I was lucky
so were you. Here's the good part. If you and I are never in that position again, we will have deserved our good luck. If we are in that position again...

11. I was lucky too
my excuse was I went to tell my ex-roommate someone was interested in buying his art...Knocked on his door, no reply, went around town, none of his friends had seen him for several days. Turned out he had a grand mal seizure and died alone in his bathroom. Found this out when I went back to his house and arrived right when the emegency vehicles did. It was awful and to this day I remember it... he was my best friend.

15. Portland is such a small town
I run into people I know or recognize all the time! Of course they usually don't appreciate it so I cordially back up and then we exchange insurance information...

14. But you gave it to me!
and I've never been to an AA meeting but perhaps after tonight I should start! Anyways, you can have the head of Geraldo Rivera back...I'm into plagiarising the Thomas Kinckaid school of art myself, and let's face it, Geraldo's head is just too fugly for that!
