Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

Trudy, I think you'll find doing two 10-hour days the easiest. When I got out of the Navy, I took 3 months to drive from San Diego to Jacksonville, Fl, up to Maine and then through Canada to Wisconsin. I stopped to sight see maybe every other day, (plus stayed with friends and family for various amounts of time, hence, three months) but the days I didn't, I found that 10 hours was about optimum. It got me around 600 miles and I could be in a hotel before dark. This time of year, that's a lot easier to do. (I was traveling in March.)

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

A passport IS proof of identity and citizenship. Everyone should accept that, and it doesn't matter if it's expired. That's ridonkulous. Fought a couple of HR departments on that for I-9's.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

So, texas requires proof of citizenship to transfer my current/non-expired license from ny. Is that normal?

It's new. I went to get mine renewed last week and they wouldn't do it without an SS card.

Wouldn't a birth certificate be proof of citizenship, msbelle?

Nope. Cause I had that and my marriage certificate with me.

That seems pretty dumb. I mean, my SS card is from 1980, and it's some crappy piece of blue paper that's all tore up. I could quite possibly have made it in my 2nd grade art class.

Much non-murder~ma, Aims.

They wouldn't even accept my passport as proof of identity!

That seems odd. I mean, if it's good enough to tell every boarder guard in the world that you're a US citizen, it seems it should be good enough for the DMV.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

But can't you get an SS card even if you're not a citizen? As opposed to a birth certificate, which seems pretty cut and dried.

(A co-worker of mine has to get a new birth certificate because he was born in PR, and his doesn't have the right kind of watermark or something. Seems to me having a birth certificate that's the same age as you would be LESS suspicious than having a brand-new one, but hey what do I know.)

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

In California, I couldn't get away with just my NY license, I had to show a birth certificate or passport and, annoyingly, the name on my license had to match it exactly, so, even though I just wanted to use my middle initial, like every other document and credit card I carry around, I had to use my whole middle name.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Ooh, cause the aloe always dries right up, Smonster? Awesome. Will have to try next time (since I cannot fool myself that I will not have another bad sunburn).

Yes! Exactly! And there's no fragrance or anything to irritate your skin. I'm wearing a strapless bra today, which is not fun but beats the pain of shoulder straps.

I need to turn in my mommy card. I knew better than to start a certain conversation and yet I dove in anyway. Now the girl won't come out of her room.

Awww, Suzi. It'll be okay. Sometimes being a mommy is having hard conversations that make for awkward times.

That's a fur piece driving solo.

Let me know if you need a place to stay in NC, okay? I have a foldout couch and Frankie loves all doggies. The cats would likely just disappear. NY to NC is about 10 hrs, depending on how you hit traffic.

So, texas requires proof of citizenship to transfer my current/non-expired license from ny. Is that normal?

Yeah, I brought my SS card and passport (a bit overkill, but I didn't want to go back to the place a third time)

But can't you get an SS card even if you're not a citizen? As opposed to a birth certificate, which seems pretty cut and dried.

Actually, Tom's SS card (acquired when he first moved here on a work visa) says something on it like CANNOT BE USED AS PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

New York doesn't care if you're a citizen for many things, as long as you are a resident. I wonder if the proportion of non-citizens with driving jobs is higher in NYS....

I think that's stupidly true for everyone born in PR, right?
