General Discussion

because my marriage certificate had a white out blotch on it. Had to pay to get a new copy (which is a generated copy, complete with white out that couldn't be seen because of the copy paper matching). Which is what I brought up to them at the DMV when they told me what I'd have to do!!!

Thank god I kept at least part of the divorce decree from my first husband. I'd still be trying to get documentation if I hadn't packratted that crap.

Agree with you. Women NEVER change your name! I wish I'd had an inkling about any of this when I first got married back in the "old days"... hell, just live together. You don't HAVE to get married! Easier that way.... 2nd hubby and I never even wore rings. We just celebrated out 36 anniversary together yesterday. And rings are still not important. And that piece of paper is only important to authoritarian govert types. /rant off
