OK, I know this is OT, but Good Gracious this whole governmental fear of the unknown thing is outta control. So ages ago (like 6 months, naughty me) I lost my driver's license. Now I do have a habit of stuffing very important cards and documemnnts in jeans and shorts pockets and then they show up months later. I assumed the license would do the same (I'd done the same with my Green Card after we moved) Well this week I bit the bullet and realized the thing's gone. I go into DDS (MVA or DMV to y'all) and filled out the form, had my green card in tow, and then after 40 mins of entertaing Roan (not a bad wait I know), I was told as my SS card's name doesn't correlate with my married name (and on my green card) they WON"T GIVE ME A NEW LICENSE>>>>FUME!!!!
Now I need to go the Social Security and prove to them I am who I am. OK, doen't help that Immigration took my original marriage cert and lost it, along with my birth cert (think pre-911 and Homeland Impurity....erm I mean security;) So now I need to figure out if my Greeen card, plus passport (which has a record of both my maiden and marrried name) and whatever bills I can find with my present address will be enough to prove I am who I say I am. What a shaggin' waste of manpower. Osama is running around the hills in Pakistan and I'm just trying to drive my kids to OT.....yeesh!!!

It always sucks when you hear normal people having to go around so much red tape.
