The SteveAndTiff Stupremacy

[SAT 9,609]

Scary! Lol

The family died?

No. I phrased it wrong. I meant to say, that the Co2 detector may have saved their lives. That they may have died if it weren't for the presence of the detector. Meaning it detected a level of Co2 that may or may not have been fatal.

That's terrible nik....for tiff, getting her DL if I recall......was just a matter of walking into DMV and presenting GC, and SS card.

Same here in SC. It was a snap. Plus I was lucky that SC has a reciprocal agreement with Canada so I could just “exchange" my AB licence for the new one. They didn’t keep my AB licence though - got to keep it.

What’s odd is I know the SSA has my first and middle name as just my first name.

I thought carbon monoxide was CO

Hike, the name issue is fairly common. It happened to Tiffany. We never fixed it, and no one cares. They know of this glitch. Her SS card has it like that. But every agency she explains to just accepts on "Tiffany"

Now looka here Frenchy......

I too lazy to type CO, that would entail me pressing an extra key. Jus like I too lazy to type "I'm"

In retrospect, I shoulda just typed "CO2", so I wouldn't have to type this here reply.

Did you get your debit card?

And why do you have a US based debit card? You're French.......

I shoulda just typed "us based"

One of my employees entire family's lives might have been saved by a carbon monoxide detector last night. The water heaters exhaust fan stopped working. Do you have one in your house?

We have one in our apartment. I should check that the battery backup batteries are still good to go.

Glad they’re okay!

They make an annoying chirp every 5 minutes when you need to change the battery. You no have to check. Unless if its a battery only detector, and the battery is completely dead.

[hikergirl 277]

It’s a plug-in one with battery backup in case of power failure. Would it still chirp?

Yes it'll annoy the ####### outta you til you change the battery. So buy a pack of 9v and have it handy

You guys will get to straighten out your name at naturalization also. The N400 paperwork has a form dedicated to name change/ correction.

That’s exactly what my GC is like.

Now that we have our 5 year driver’s licences I can send ours back for the date correction. I waited otherwise we’d only get a two year licence and I didn’t want to try to renew with the ROC letter then I’d only get a one year card in that case. It’s all based on the dates on the cards for the length of the licences here. With a maximum of 5 years for immigrants.

And amazon has odd batteries for cheap. I discovered it yesterday. But I bought 130 dollars worth of batteries from Walgreens because I was pissed off at the Boss. Those batteries coulda been bought for 30 bucks on amazon.

Thats exactly what my GC is like.

Now that we have our 5 year drivers licences I can send ours back for the date correction. I waited otherwise wed only get a two year licence and I didnt want to try to renew with the ROC letter then Id only get a one year card in that case. Its all based on the dates on the cards for the length of the licences here. With a maximum of 5 years for immigrants.

Now with tiffs license, I told them of the error on the GC and SSN. And DMV said "ok" and issued DL with tiffs correct name.

I think we’ll make InfoPass appointments to try and straighten it out. Hubby’s boss is nice and will give him a freebie day off and we’ll get to see Charleston. The teen wants to see it anyways.

With all the electronics in the house we always have a selection of batteries available for when the various items die.

That's nice of your husbands boss. Enjoy charleston.
