we need a term
I have long used Significant Other, abbreviated S.O.
It is vague enough to cover a wide variety of relationships.
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
it doesn't work any more! I have to get a new one!
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?

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.

In my genealogical explorations I've come across anecdotes of people who had to invent middle names (or at least middle initials) in order to enlist in the Army. It gets really awkward when birth records, military records, and Social Security records don't match up.
