Let me see If I got this right.....you have a litter...you have 90 (three damn months) days to enter the litter...and the cost is only 25 bucks.....Lew is right...if you can't or don't get your act together in this time period then TOO DAMN BAD...either its a priority or its not....whenever I had a child molester(s) on my case load...I stressed to them that the law says that they had ten (now its five) days to repot their new address to the police department when ever they changed their residence...I told them failure to do so would cause me to arrest them on day 11...NO EXCUSES....its a matter of priorities and personal responsibility...do not complain about late fees...the smart thing is not to be late...shame on me but I enjoyed when they were late......Ed Hill ----- Original Message ----- From: <LEWIEB@xxxxxxx> To: <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: <TISHW@xxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2005 7:47 AM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Yes, Iza I read it. > Seems to me that we always have this huge discussion regarding late fees > for > Futurity entries.
