What about a notarized letter from GOD? Would that work??!

Jul 09, 2007 14:24

I went through all sorts of hell today attempting to claim my maiden name on various government documents. Also notable in this story is that both my license and my license plate were expired ( the license plate I just forgot, the license I was waiting to get done when I was moved and had my divorce papers so I could get all the changes made at ( Read more... )

Changing back to your maiden name is such a fucking hairy pain in the ass, but for me it was worth it. I still have hyphenates on some of my paperwork... Lyons-Shapiro. *shudder* I'm finishing that shit up just this week with my credit cards. Yes, this week. 3 full years later ( ... )

I LOVED this comment. Thanks for it.

For some things, I'm not really worried about my last name. I'm about to pay off my one and only credit card ( PRAISE GOD!! ), so I'm not worrying about that... At one time in my life I had seven cards. I can only imagine how hellish that is!

When are you visiting Memphis again? We kinda have more in common that we used to. It would be beneficial ( for me ) to know another young person with MS. It scares me sometimes having a boyfriend that has it and not really knowing what's going on or what to expect.

Trust me, it's scarier having it and not knowing what to expect! :) I should be back the second week in August if everything goes as planned. Wanna grab coffee?

Ha, yeah I'm sure that's the case. He is so good but yesterday he was just EXHAUSTED after mowing the grass. He was lying down in his bed and he just said, "I know I'm not perfect, but I don't think I deserve this.." It's hard as an outsider to understand. I don't want to just sit around feeling sorry for him but I think it's stupid to act as if nothing is wrong.

Yeah, I'll be around then I suppose!

I went through that same shit with the DMV trying to get my maiden name back. It was a NIGHTMARE.

I'm probably going back to Southwest this fall, I transferred to U of M when I was pregnant with Elise and I fucking hate that place. None of my credits transferred and they don't even offer what I really want to study. I will be taking my old ass back to Southwest then, because they at least offer more online classes.

For some people, it's the more viable option ( and they do have better online choices for some courses ). But for me, there's no reason I shouldn't just throw myself into school - I'm not married, no house, no kids, etc.

mistresstrixe July 10 2007, 01:13:53 UTC

well, U of M you have to take the board of regents online degree courses, and they cost almost twice as much. Its a fucking racket.

I wouldn't change my life for a minute, but there are definitely times that I kick myself for fucking off and not getting a degree before now.

I'm so proud of you for deciding to go for it.

Thanks. That is definitely a kicker in it - I wouuld LOVE to be able to stay home with my kids when I ever have them, and I'd like to have school out of the way. I know several young women like you who have complained, so I'm trying to take y'all's advice and not end up being the one giving the warnings in the future!!
