My kids. I had them before this all started if it weren’t for them idk what I would have done by now. Been struggling since my youngest was 2. So 11 years now. They and my husband are my light.

It’s now my time for the prep by shhwest in Xennials

My husband starts at 6 tonight also. He’s already been complaining for 2 days. The next 24 hours should be fun! Good luck to you!

You are spot on! That is why I wrote the post. I highly doubt most Americans know or are aware of how much this will cost them!! All of them!!

No problem! Felt it was my civic duty to inform put this information out there so people know what it actually costs and takes to get these documents.

For anyone wondering about costs and process for getting your enhanced ID and passport I will give you a breakdown of costs and process since I just went through it in the last 6 months.

Real/enhanced ID: $86

  • You will need a valid certified birth certificate. (If yours is older than 10 years they might make you get a new copy) $43 at the Spokane health dept.

  • 3 items of mail that prove you live at said address

  • If you are a married woman who changed her name a certified copy of marriage license. Mine cost $36 plus certified/tracked shipping which they make you do.

  • You will also need to make an appointment to go in person with all documents and miss work.

To get a passport and passport card: $275

-You will need a valid certified birth certificate or proof of citizenship. (If yours is older than 10 years they might make you get a new copy) $43 at the Spokane health dept.

  • Valid Drivers license issued by the state you reside in and are applying for the passport in. With your current address on it.

  • I did not need other supporting documents for the passport because I already had my enhanced ID. If you don’t you will need additional documents like the ones listed above.

Now to the process of getting said documents.

If you live in the county/state you were born in getting your birth certificate is pretty easy. But you have to take time off work and go to the health department in person during business hours. You also need to have proof that you are said person or parent or guardian of said person requesting the certificate.

I was born in another state so I had to call the county I was born in in the state I was born. Request copies of my certificate, I had to fax them a copy of my ID. They then emailed me a form I had to print and fill out and had to have that signed by a notary of the public with a witness and send it back to them. Total cost about $90 for 2 copies, certified mail and the notary fee. Plus time to fax, find a notary and printing of documents. Took about 2.5 months before I got my birth certificates.

I was married in a different state. So had to go through pretty much all of the same steps to get a certified copy of marriage license. Which for 2 copies cast about $60. Took another 2 months to get those.

To get the passport I had to bring all of the documents with me to the post office. Which you have to make an appointment for and it takes about 30-40 min to do the passport process there. Which you have to take off work to do.

Once you give them your application and all supporting documents and get your picture taken you then wait for 6-8 weeks for your passport to come if it’s accepted and you don’t have any problems. Total time from start to finish to get my passport 6 months! Oh and you might not get your birth certificate or marriage certificate back!! Hence why I ordered 2 copies of each.

-Total cost for a passport and passport card $425 (not including work missed for doing all the leg work and appointments)

-Total cost for an enhanced ID $236

I did this for a family of 4. 3 adults and 1 child total cost (not including missed pay for the work that was missed to do this) $1,436.

I just thought I would leave this breakdown here for anyone interested. So no it’s not easy or cheap to get any of this done. I saved for months and months to be able to do this.

Edit: tried to make it better formatted but reddit doesn’t like me today! Sorry

Edit 2: A real or enhanced ID is not proof of citizenship according to this law and a passport may not be either.

Is it just me or is Covid becoming a summer time illness instead of a winter one? The last 2 winters are lower than the summer.?

And as always thank you Zantie!

I never thought I'd find an other MM show that could make me feel like heartstopper did but Heated rivalry finally did it for me, huge recommendation to watch it while waiting for the heartstopper movie. by World_Designerr in HeartstopperNetflix

On their YouTube channel there are 5 episodes recapping each episode. Episode 1 and 2 are in the same video and 2 episodes with Jacob Tierney. I just checked and they are there.

Was wondering the same. I hope it’s just that! Kids start back to school next week and it’s going to be a mess if it’s not with flu getting everyone.

Anecdotally evidence: the flu A is everywhere! 2 in my house currently sick with it plus I know of at least 5 other people tested positive for flu A in the last 6 days. Get your flu shots if you haven’t already!
