My 2nd marriage, I walked into the SS office, said I got married and needed to change my name. I filled out the form, they were fine....but that WAS in 92....

And you'd think that if you show the ss card with the same number on it as the thier records, that it would be enuff, but they get all, no, someone could fake an ss card... And I'm like, yeah, but I'm not that smart when it comes to crime!

(Plus, anyone stealing my identity for the credit history will be sadly dimayed!)
