You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Lawyer-types: my mom is a notary, and wants to know if she's legally allowed to notarize the living will and power of attorney for my stepdad's father, since she's his daughter-in-law.

*Any* family, or just immediate family?

The American Notary Society's Web site says that they don't recommend notarizing stuff for family.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

It looks like it might depend on the state, Steph. The other thing I'm finding (googling "notary conflict of interest") is that a notary in certain states can't notarize anything that has a financial benefit to them.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I've always taken it as all family, though between you and me, I have notarized non-financial things for my sister since we no longer have the same last name.

Tickybox's first lesson:

I foresee what I am doing this weekend! Excellent.

I swear, I'm like Shawn's dad on Psych, only instead of honing her observational abilities, I'm training her to be the perfect geek.

Which reminds me, I have to get back to having her memorize the Green Lantern oath posthaste.

(Things I have trained her to do: blue steel on command, internalize the awareness that criminals are a cowardly and a superstitious lot, understand the importance of owning black and white stripy tights, and say BEEP when going for Jilli's nose. Also, I've trained her to look at Pete and say "ADORABLE!" Which only works sometimes.)

Emeline desperately wants stripy tights, I have not been siccessful in finding good quality ones around here.

Happy Birthday, juliana!
