and one more bit of bs

[rm]

I just got my annual Social Security statement. And I should have dealt with the mystery on it last year but forgot. Which means I should really do it this year. You see, they think I was born three days earlier than I was.

Your starting to fall into my category of people who are under "only you".

Yeah. This one really weirds me out. I really do think it's just a clerical error, except my family has a funny way of insisting the truth is something other than it is often abut really mundane things, so I figure there's like a 5% chance it's something weird.

Is Social Security the only source for the anomalous date?

Our standard response in Physics class when we understood the concepts but didn't quite get the numbers that the professor wanted was...

"Close enough for government work."

Still, what's a little undermining of the fabric of the universe?

My grandmother always thought her birthday was June 19 until she got a copy of her birth certificate when doing family tree stuff. She was actually born June 27. We have no idea why she thought her birthday was the 19th for 65 years.

My passport says I was born in Mississippi. I have NO idea what it's thinking of.

Here's a story coming (can I write it?) where you discover another baby and family politics. Eeeeeeeeeeee.

My Irish great-grandmother (the one who corrected Churchill) had a Royal Navy birth certificate that identified her as English.
Last name O'Kieff.

You might want to look into this ... I was Schrodinger's Citizen for about 19 years. See, I was naturalized at age 5, except that Immigration apparently dislikes collating its records with other agencies ... so I was simultaneously an undiscovered illegal alien for 18 years until I got a government grant and had to resolve it to get my checks. Took 6 months of not getting paid, too.

That time travel thing is a bitch, isn't it?

I had a friend who had that too. The 6th versus the 9th. It actually bacem a serious problem at one point with agencies not accepting with "valid and verified" info.

US Immigration thought a friend of mine was Mexican for a years.

And Gennie's parents never had her birth registered. So when she applied for a passport,... she didn't exist.

All I have to fret about is a cheesey birthday.
