Just spent an hour shoveling. It's -4°F before windchill or -27°F with it (that's -20/-33 C).  Holy cow I'm cold.

and god forbid if that habit is disrupted!

[tejas.livejournal.com]

YES!

and if someone *helps* you clean or put things away you are SO DOOMED

[tejas.livejournal.com]

Oh, god. That's the worst of both worlds.

If you're lucky you'll still be finding things three years later. Otherwise, it's gone for good!

And contrary to popular belief, just because you haven't used it in 6 months, doesn't mean you don't need it.

Think about that box of papers you tossed the next time you can't find your birth certificate, your passport or your social security card. ;-)

ooooh, losing those would be bad. I tend never to toss thing, but then go through a cleaning binge and organize and toss and box and give away... and regret it like mad 3 months later when I'm desperately searching for something and it's GONE

I think my ex did that to my birth certificate. Not maliciously, just in one of those fits of organizing.

On the other hand, I had my SS card before the divorce and haven't seen it since.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

oh YIPES. That's not good

[tejas.livejournal.com]

Such a pain to have to get a new one.

I guess I'll have to one of these years.

the weird thing is it's essential, yet really not needed, depending. If you don't need a passport, or a new marriage license or a new job (depending on the job) you don't need the SSN card or birth certificate.

Oh, but you do, mon cher. If you *ever* plan to collect social security or if you *ever* have the misfortune of losing your driver's license (been there, suffered that), it can be a huge PITA.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

yeah, but you don't need it every day- just on THOSE days.

And I suppose, considering how much we;ve paid into to social security, actually getting some money back would be nice

[tejas.livejournal.com]

Yeppers. Looking forward to it, myself. ;-)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

looking forward to it, but not counting on it here

[tejas.livejournal.com]

Social security being there is the least of our worries. :-)

good point
