I'm having an interview with a school representative and I'm wondering where it should be. Any suggestions?

What are the options? If it isn't their office, a public place like a restaurant could work.

So a Starbucks would be fine?

 

[Cutlass]

Without knowing more, I'd say it was acceptable.

Due Process question...

So I have a parking sticker for my uni from last year that says n large letters on it "09/10" without really paying attention I assumed I had to go get a new sticker before the end of September. Turns out it said "expires July 30, 2010" in ultra small print on the corner...

Anyway when I went to contest the ticket I was told I could not do so, until after I paid it. Isn't this a violation of due process? Shouldn't I be able to contest my fine before I pay it?

How can I fight this, my Dad suggested suing the uni's president in small claims court, but idk if that has any actual chance of working. What other options do I have? (Aside from paying in unwrapped pennies of course)

Any armchair lawyers out there?

Does your university have actual authority to issue tickets?

My friend received several hundred dollars in parking tickets from my school he just ignored with no consequence.

This.

But the threat of legal action is always enough to knock people down. However have you simply tried talking with someone else/manager of wherever because it may have just been the person you were talking to was ********.

In the UK there is a bizzar loophole that if anyone other than a parking warden/ policeman gives you a parking ticket you are bullet-proof so long as you in no way acknowledge them. You have to just flat out ignore them and, if it gets that far, respond to the court.

Does CFC have a writer's club? I could've sworn I saw one once upon a time, but I can't seem to find it.

Denatured ethanol will kill yeast this is what my old textbook says. Yeast is put in bread. What would happen if you poured some onto a slice of bread and left it? I read yeast is used to make the alcohol.

I tried it. My mom threw it out. She said it smelled funny.

There's a writer's social group you may be thinking of.

At what point is a moon considered a minor moon?

When it's under 18.

Dear Mr Whatever-his-name-is,

I am writing to you for this reason, and I hope you will consider my proposal carefully.

These are the details of my proposal.

I hope you will consider all this carefully and reply soon.

Yours sincerely,

[GinandTonic]

If requesting action I sign "Many Thanks".

 

[BCLG100]

Yours sincerely if you know the persons name. Yours faithfully if you don't/to whom it may concern.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

thanks everyone. I think I got it right, it was the letterheads that I was messed up about.

If I wanted to include an email address in case the person wanted to use that, where should I put that.

 

[spryllino]

22 Grove Street,

18.... kilometers?

 

[Lord Baal]

18.... kilometers?

Sadly, that wouldn't make all the women I've been with minors. Wait, what?
