-t, is a "Pastor" Super Burrito filled with lamb or clergy?

They could stay in Florida for the summer as my son would take care of them here, but I think they will like it in the woods. I just hope they don't catch and bring me home chipmunks! I would keep them inside a week or so before I let them out up there. I have a screened in porch where they could sit on the windowsills and watch the world go by, but I am not sure the screens would survive.

Laura, if you don't know/do this already, you might want to check with your vet to see if your pets need to be vaccinated against Lyme Disease. My poor dog had it really bad. It was discovered during her first year with us (she was a rescue). She was treated with an antibiotic and seems to have recovered, but there can be long term effects of the disease. I don't know if Lyme is a risk in FL, but it is in the northeast (which is where I gather your cottage is).

A different friend commented to tell me that because I'm a married woman, I need way more documents to get the Real ID thingie. I said that, actually, I haven't legally changed my name, so all my legal documents are the same as they've been for 48 years. He said "No, Social Security will flag it if you don't provide proof!" And I asked, "How do I prove that I *didn't* legally change my name?"

He's doubling down on the insistence that there's some kind of "proof" that I don't know about that I am required to produce at the BMV. My dude, it is literally my birth certificate and SS card, which I have in my possession, which both indicate that my name is the same as it's ever been. Back off.

Before the earth cooled (and before 9/11/2001), I half-assed changed my name. I changed it at work. I changed it with the DMV for my license. I filed my taxes under my married name (because that's how I was paid). That was it.

Sometime after 9/11, Social Security started cross-checking its data with that of our state's DMV. They flagged me, because I'd changed my name with the DMV and when I filed my taxes, so I had to go down to Social Security and change it there, too.

 If I had it to do over again, I only would have used my husband's name in social circumstances, because people just assume you have the last name as your kids. I would have kept my maiden name on all my official things.

And yeah, Tep, that guy's just an idiot. Since you've never used Tim's name officially, your last name is the same it has always been. It's the changing that screws things up, not the keeping-the-saming.

BMV guy needs to take several steps back. (1) Not his problem (2) there is no 2.

It's pork, Cindy. Don't know where the name comes from.

"Al Pastor" = "In the style of the priest" So presumably named for a priest who really liked pork with pineapple?

What's not to like about pork with pineapple?

There's pineapple.

It was such a pain to get my RealID, what with getting the marriage certificate and all. Then we realized that since Hubby was adopted by the guy he called Dad and changed his name that we might have to get adoption papers. I discovered that there are no long distance charges for calling Hawaii anymore, just using up your minutes (he was adopted in Hawaii). Then we got a copy of his California birth certificate, which had his adopted name on it because Cali corrects that kind of stuff. So the Hawaii adventure didn't need to happen, though it was fun to get official mail from the islands.

No pineapple in this one, I don't think. ::takes another bite to check:: maybe in the marinade but not in the burrito. I just know what the menu says

That reminds me that we have a bridge nearby that was recently named the Al Zampa Bridge and I was all is it Arabic for something, that's neat, but no, it's for a guy named Al. I think the plaque now might say Alfred instead.

This [link] says it's "in the style of the shepherd" and is from Lebanese immigrants to Mexico cooking pork as they had cooked lamb back home.

Timelies all!

Just once I would like a night with no interrupted sleep. This time it was Gary getting up at 4 to use the bathroom. Fell right back asleep. but still...

Laura, if you don't know/do this already, you might want to check with your vet to see if your pets need to be vaccinated against Lyme Disease.

That is why I use my NY vet instead of the FL one for vaccinations. They don't even carry the Lyme vaccine here and I worry like crazy about that one. The FL vet suggested doing it that way, noting that it was probably cheaper there too, which it is.

@@ forever at FB dude. I have been very lax about name changes, taking actual decades to change with SS. But they all say Holt now. This was never anybody's business but my own. I may change my Real FB name to something more entertaining at some point.
