I am personally finding the information required to be a PITA (pain in the *$$) to find, i.e. (birth certificate state certified/still hoping mine is good with the raised stamp?), social security card (mine doesn't match my name/however my SS yearly statement does), marriage license showing why my name is different than my birth certificate even though I'm no longer married, probably will bring along my divorce paperwork just for the h*ll of it, voting license listing my address that of course, does not currently match my DL.

I wonder if the terrorists had to produce this much documentation?

L M A O!!!!!!!!!!!all smiles........
wish I could help.....goodluck

LOL! you two crack me up(Ladywithafan & Big House) Hopefully I'll be able to make it to some meetups when I move down! I need to meet some great people with a good sense of humor. Hopefully getting my lisence won't be too much of a pain when I get there, I just need to finish getting copies of all my papers before I move!

Luckily, unlike Jonathan Winters, I have not lost my sense of humour living in Florida, just my mind.

P.S. look for "Certifiably Jonathon" on utube/trailers...especially the one with Howie Mandel at Target

I ordered the movie, it got to my house in two days, way less stressful than dealing with renewing my driver's license....

A sense of humor is very important, because, if everyone couldn't tell, we joke around - A LOT, if they couldn't tell we were joking, then they would probably take my beer away from me!

Or even worse, not let me come here and flirt with everyone!

And where would that leave me - all alone to humor myself!

And that would be just horrible! I'd get soooo tired of playing practical jokes on myself very quickly! Hmmmm?!?! Although part of me would like it! Then again, part of me would hate it! And, that would make part of me laugh! Hmmmm!?! Because that's what practical jokes are all about.

I'm so greatful, that LWAF is cool with my humor and adores me! Because otherwise, I would probably sit here and type to myself! LOL
I hope you really come to one of these meet ups! I'm gonna schedule one, as soon as the weather warms up!

Default Update on my FL driver's license nightmare of a day

I actually made my appointment a month in advance for last Friday afternoon. I had all my paperwork together...or so I thought.

I went in and the gatekeeper told me I would need a copy of my divorce paperwork. There went my 9:30 a.m. slot. Went back home, pulled out my divorce papers & headed to the DL office located in the AAA buidling down on Bee Ridge. Signed in, sat down, called in my free tickets for my birthday @ McCurdy's comedy club for Saturday evening while waiting to take care of business.
About 1/2 hour later, my name was called & I handed my paper work to the DL lady. She told me I needed to have my divorce decree NOTARIZED...I was like wait a minute here, I've been divorced for 10 years, had my FL driver's license for almost 20 years...WTF?
Got in the car & headed to the Manatee court house to get a copy of the NOTARIZED divorce certificate. I figured I might as well go get my license taken care of at the big DL office by the DeSoto Square Mall. The lady looked at my paperwork & told me due to the fact that I had a ticket three years ago, I would need to take a sign test but they didn't offer those there. Another WTF?
It was time for lunch with my little friend, Jose Cuervo.
After lunch, I returned to Sarasota to see what they would have to say now that I had my notorized 10 year old divorce decree.
I didn't say anything except, "here's my paperwork" to the DL lady. I was styling now...got my photo done, did the eye test then......here it came. "Your divorce paperwork is not good enough, we need a copy of your marriage certificate." I was married in 1989 for pete's sake!!!.....I said, now wait a minute here...I've been divorced for 10 years, had my DL in Florida since 1991 and you're telling me that you need to see my marriage certificate to prove who I am? My SS# card even still has my maiden name on it but my annual letter shows my married name because I did change it but I had lost my card with my married name. DL lady told me the SS card is not a legal document. Gee, no wonder we can give them to illegal aliens in the U.S. makes sense to me!
So after dealing with four trips to RENEW my FL DL from 9 a.m. to 4:30 a.m. all I got was a 30 day extension.

Now, I have to take another day off work, send away for my marriage certificate from another state & hope that they will not ask me for anything else.

Wonder how the Haitain refugees will get driver's licenses?????????
