Westbound Repo Ship of Thieves-Remember the Magic!

While you are so eager to mow, wanna come over and mow my front and backyards? I hate mowing too. Especially right now because we have cottonwood blowing all over the place this time of year and I am very allergic (sneezing and eyes watering). My DD3 yesterday asked me if it was snowing because there was so much cottonwood in the air and on the ground.



Ours aren't here. Except during Christmas rush.

I sure feel for you. I had horrible allergies as a kid, so bad that my eyes would swell shut and just drain down my cheeks all day. Fortunately, I outgrew them, but I always sympathize with people who do suffer from allergies. No fun.

We used to have summers here once.

Marilyn, I love being in your livingroom with you!

DrHug said that we get about 20 min per gallon of gas.

DrHug gets paid for his miles going to his jobs, but even so....he told his agency he will not work more than 1 hour away! He does a mapquest when he fills out his timecard to get the miles.

I used mapquest for a jury duty summons, I work just 2 blocks from the courthouse so that's how I found how far we work from home. It was kind of depressing to realize how long it takes to go such a short distance

And I totally agree about the hour thing

......... They say that the temp in a parked car gets up to 130º+ in a very short time.

And people who leave their children in the car while they "run" into a store are SURPRISED to learn that it is harnful to kids and illegal!!!!!

You just can't spell it menajetua??? I'm sure that's wrong too! But I snore just to warn you.

You need to bring some of that wine with you too. It has to be good if it's called that!

What's MENAJETUA??

I thought she was asking about LAVINOUS.

Yep. I have no idea what goes on in Ontario. For me to get a marriage license here in BC I just went to a local Provincial Government office and picked it up. In Ontario it seems all their licensing is through Thunder Bay.

I have a client trying to get a new copy of his Birth Certificate who is from Ontario and he needs to have someone that has known him for 2 years and is allowed to be a guarantor on his application. He's been travelling across the country the last several years looking for work, he doesn't know anyone that can fit the bill. I have been contacting Thunder Bay looking for some sort of loophole to get him his birth certificate. It almost seems easier to get him his passport - except he needs his birth certificate to get that!

Meanwhile I went to the local Provincial office here in BC and picked up a replacement copy for my DD6 in a matter of minutes.

The issue was over Sukie's previous marriage. Because the divorce happened outside of Canada (we found out too late) that Thunder Bay needed:

1. A notarized copy of the ORIGINAL divorce decree

2. A notarized copy of the ORIGINAL marriage license

3. A letter from a Canadian attorney providing the opinion that everything was kosher with the original divorce.

All of this plus an extra "sole responsibility" form and the marriage license had to be sent to Thunder Bay, who in turn issues an "authority to marry."

That's why I hired a lawyer, to advise us about all of this. Unfortunately he only gave us the letter of opinion, and so we headed off to Windsor thinking we had everything we needed. Unfortunately, we had nearly nothing of what we needed.

Had we been advised correctly we would have made sure we had the right paper work in advance.

I'm not sure what we were upset about more:

• The disappointment
• The money wasted on the lawyer
• The money wasted to fly to detroit, rent a car and stay at the Quality Inn in downtown Windsor overnight, or
• Sitting in Detroit airport for 8 hours

Sukie did say while we were sitting in the airport that we should have bought, "I went to Windsor and all I got was this lousy t-shirt" tee shirts.

Oh, well ... I guess this just means that the "real" wedding was meant to happen in California.

(PS - Sukie has not yet told his daughter about the snafu, and that she has not acquired a wicked stepfather.)
