Credit unions count as banks, yes?

If so, in fact they just opened a branch over in Cambridge, so I should be golden....

I think land title offices also tend to have notaries on staff.

Do I have to show my ID and stuff? Do I have to round up witnesses and have them appear?

I've never notarized anything before, needless to say. I feel like I should be donning white kid gloves and a clever little hat before I go over.

ID is a good idea. You won't need to bring your own witnesses. Depending on what you're having notarized, at least.

I strongly encourage you to do that. Not for any good reason, though. Just because.

I got free notarization at a Commerce Bank where I'm not a customer, FYI. But yeah, just have ID.

GodDAMN. I got robbed dry cleaning this last time. Tried a new place on the way to work. I should have known that any place that will come yo your car to get the clothes was going to end up pricey. I asked for an itemised receipt so I could properly evaluate them, and at least once I was paying more to clean a dress than I had to buy it, shipping included. So terribly not right.

Of course, I noticed at least five more dry cleaners on my route into work right after. I will be trying the small innocuous places first, let me tell you.

I was going to become a notary a while back, and then a friend who was a notary told me not to bother, because unless I was going to make a job out of it, it was more trouble than its worth. Too many people asking for favours.

{{Fred, Teddy, Hubs}} I'm sorry. Thank you for the background story Fred. The naming makes me full of awwww.

Continued prayers and good thoughts for Noah and Grace. In the pictures they seem to be so much more alert with the wide eyed stares and their color looks better as time marches forward. {{Kat}} You are handling the stress remarkably well. Try and catch a nap whenever possible to recharge. Have you been able to find any time for yoga?

Sign that I am in need of coffee - when I look at the message header in junk mail that says my loan has been approved and I think twice about whether I applied for a loan. Maybe I need the drugs they are selling.

Yikes on the dry cleaning expense! I have used the in the dryer things well enough for myself and DH's slacks. I do send his shirts to the cleaners though because no way I am washing and ironing those.

I think this is cool news: Shipwreck found! [link]

So my car is covered in concrete dust.

I don't *think* it can be activated, cause it is from sidewalk being cut.

But still.

I mean, my car was pretty dirty, but at least you could tell it was black. Not so much now.

I haven't used a dry cleaner in a long time, I'm too lazy to add a stop.
