it doesn't work any more! I have to get a new one!

What? Do birth certificates expire?

I'm not going to talk about my mastery of files and knowing where important stuff is because it a sad state of affairs that I'm not going to try to fix any time soon. Kicking that can down the road has been working out okay for a while and I'm going to keep doing it a while longer. You may all feel superior to me if that helps anyone!

we need a term

I have long used Significant Other, abbreviated S.O.

It is vague enough to cover a wide variety of relationships.

Have you tried turning it off and turning it on again? Jumper cables? AED?

It seems that New Jersey stopped accepting birth certificates unless it included the parents' names, which mine doesn't.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

partner ? paramour--we need a term for someone's romantic partner they aren't married to for adults so you aren't 70 talkign about your boyfriend who is 80...anyway

DH's vocally anti-marriage aunt always said "partner" (even after they eventually got secretly married for the tax/health insurance/etc benefits).

So the jumper cables didn't work?

Oh, so you need the infamous long form birth certificate? What a strange thing to change

They could have used another term and lost nothing from the message. I felt gross every time it was said. That said, I loved last night so much.

Same. (The Texas rep.'s speech included something similar -- but her story about Harris and the photo op was awesome.)

I read that as anti-mirangue and was SO intrigued!

Last time I needed one, we noticed my mother never signed it(Too busy almost dying and all.) I used it for 40 years without anyone noticing.

When I was working as a passport acceptance agent a dude handed me a birth certificate that listed his first name as Rfank. Apparently it had never been an issue before but I warned him he should consider getting it fixed.
