Default Need a new driver's license

Today I was at an appt with DD, needed ins card, driver's license, etc. The lady was returning my info but didn't know which patient it went with. I could see her looking at the license then she'd scan the room, then look again. After the 2nd or 3rd time, she said my name, then basically said, this isn't you (!) to which I said, "thank you" - LOL! She then told me I'd better not travel where I need a definitive ID coz they'd probably detain me for a fake ID! I've had several people think it's an older sister? maybe my mom? The updated, longer hairstyle helps too. Anyway, what a hoot

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

That is a great wow. I have to get my licence renewed this fall and I am wondering how they will react when they see me with my old licence.

That is hilarious!
I went to the zoo with the kids yesterday and showed my ID since I am a member...she just stood there looking at me for the longest time. I told my husband last night that I need to go get a new one today! LOLOL

LOL...I went and had mine redone a couple of weeks ago....the old one compared to the new picture is daylight/dark!! It had gotten to where when I was asked to present it, they would look at it...then me...than back at it...I figured it was time to act....they only charged me $10 to redo the picture, but it was scheduled to expire until 2010, and I figured I couldn't wade through 2 more years of trying to explain that it WAS me!!

That is awesome! My face seems to be the place where people are noticing my loss. My license is expiring about the time I hit 100 lbs, so I will wait til then.

That's an awesome wow!!!!!
I had my license picture taken when I was about 195 and I never got one when I was bigger because I didn't want to admit it! So mine is good, but my work ID is another story. People tell me all the time I need a new one. I would get one, but I'm leaving, so why bother.
