Ah, I have to renew mine. It expired 15 Sep. My Italian one is still good through 2017, though that won't help me when I need to come home.
Kat, I'm sorry that it's a struggle. I hope viable solutions present themselves soon, and the right hand starts to know what the left hand is doing.
Juliebird, I'm sorry that people have no tact. I don't see why you should hold your tongue anymore.
And, yes, she was especially shocked about Canada. "Even Canada? What if you took a Canadian cruise, you'd need a passport?" In a very that's-nuts tone of voice.
Well, to be fair, needing a passport for Canada is relatively new.
A project for my vacation at the end of October, along with early voting. And having someone poke around at the furnace under the house--though that may be earlier so I can get it out of the way.

That's true, but it has also been covered a whole lot in the news in the past decade or whatever it's been. I myself always have to think, oh right, that's changed, but it's not new information to be outraged about.
I bought a powerball ticket this morning. But I couldn't remember if it were powerball or something else. Der.
I am not allowed to access the powerball website at work because it's been flagged as gambling. So true.
Feeling less tragic today but still overwhelmed.

I can never get over how outraged people get in the airport security line when their full-size shampoo bottles get taken away.

Yes, or their giant bottles of water.
We now have 10-year passports, instead of five. five more years to fill more pages. OTOH, I'm stuck with my passport picture for that long. Though this one's not the worst. That was two passports ago.
As a Certified Passport Acceptance Agent, I can tell you that people think ALL SORTS of crazy things about passports. My favorite is the people who think the person applying for the passport doesn't need to be present. No, you cannot just apply for a passport for your spouse because he's so busy, or for your teenager because she hates to get up early.

I sympathize. I was the Social Security office, and one woman spent twenty minutes yelling at the clerk that she didn't need to have her daughter's birth certificate because it should be enough that she knew when her daughter was born.
Man, my passport expired years ago!
