That is a rarity.<br />Our world has changed so much. We can't trust anyone, or believe we can't, so we have to prove ourselves at every turn.<br />BTW, do any of your banks have a policy requiring tellers to ask customers where they got the money they're depositing? At my bank, they have to ask about any amount over $3,000. That's my favourite.Leah J.

My husband is eligible and when trying to fill out the forms online, he kept getting the message that he was NOT eligible...as if he doesn't know his real age. Amazing as it may seem, they have him a year younger and therefore we are making a trip tomorrow which in our area is a 6 hour round trip! I'll let you know if they are as amiable as your visit!<br /><br />I still have my original SS card..flimsy card stock and have only had to use it to acquire a passport.

What irks me more than anything though is, with all of these new fangled pieces of ID such as new drivers licences, health cards, social security etc. I still need a passport to cross the border. Something I have been doing since I was 5 years old. You would think they would know me on a first name basis by now. Some of our bureaucratic services have also improved here.
