I hadn't seen my SS card for years (or for that matter, my birth certificate) so I just ended up getting new ones over the past couple of years. I just saw them today in my big office filing re-org so I know I still have 'em!
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

I had to get a new copy of my birth certificate a couple of years ago, too. I don't remember why. It lives in my fire-proof safe, now. Right now it is off at whatever office issues passports, but it should get back to me and back in the safe soon.

I went and got a SS card when I got my first job in my teens. My brother and I went together. They gave me mine on the spot, but had to mail him his because they had to be 11 numbers apart and they had to wait for a few more people to come in. I should ask him what his number ended up being. My kids got them at birth.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My mom got me a SS# when I was four, I think. At my elementary school they once had a thing where all the kids lined up and went past a desk where we told a lady our SS# and - I dunno what it was for. All I really remember is being so nervous that I'd forget my number that I memorized it, and when the lady asked me, I blurted it out so fast she actually jumped. The other kids were reading theirs off their cards or pieces of paper; I don't know why I thought I had to know it by heart! But hey, I still remember it.

I got my SS card when I was 8 or 9, around 1965. I needed it to open a savings account. I didn't bother to memorize it at that time, but once I was in the Navy I had to. They use your SSN as your military ID number.

I'm so bad. My name on my SS card and record is from DH#1. That hasn't been my name in 22 years. I never got around to changing it for DH#2 and although I have been a Holt for 17 years, still not changed. I get reminded each year when I do the tax return because I have to use the old name. My driver's license and passport are correct, the SSN, not so much. The thing is that they want me to show up in person at the office! I haven't managed to find the time yet. (also, the lines at the SS offices in S. Florida, kinda long)

What is even happening?
My driver's license and passport are correct, the SSN, not so much.This is eventually why I had to change my name with the SSA. Our Registry of Motor Vehicles started cross checking with the SSA, and wouldn't let me renew my license until the names matched. It's some anti-terrorism thing, I guess.

Oh, I just got a new license because of the purse theft thing. I wonder if they will contact me about the name. I know I need to fix it, but it just finds its way to the bottom of the list all the time.
