Hopefully this will get boosted by someone who has followers who need to see it.

Were you born overseas at a military base or to a parent who was a U.S. citizen? If so you probably do not have a normal birth certificate issued by a state. Instead you will have a Consular Report of Birth Abroad issued by the state department. The current form is FS-240 there are also older discontinued forms FS-545 and DS-1350.

If you do not have yours you can go to https://travel.state.gov/en/replace-certify/request-record/replace-amend-birth-abroad.html to request replacement of the missing form. This will not be free.

Be prepared to do lots of sleuthing if where you were born no longer exist or records were lost. Luckily for you the internet has made this easier so you do not need to spend hours on the phone or writing letters to obtain needed information,

If you do not have this form and were born overseas you may need it this fall to vote. And do not be surprised if officials are confused when they see it.

A few years ago when I replaced my drivers license they were confused by the CRBA form even though it is listed as a valid form. Luckily for me the passport was accepted so I did need to go any further to get the Real ID.

I noticed while reading of FEDs scouring voter rolls that there were concerns holders of Consular Report of Birth Abroad paper work may have problems. Holders of one of the older forms may want to make sure they have other forms of proof just in case.

Remember if challenged you can request a provisional ballot. And fix the problem afterwards.

Was reviewing my Medicare part B paperwork and noticed the primary care provider has used this "low level of decision making if using tim 99213"

I'm scratching my head and my wife is making demented nerb jokes.

But it turns out that is just code for a routine office visit with no special problems noted.

That could be worded better!!

Dinner tonight is #lasagna. Made with #zucchini I finally figured a way to make it that is not watery and holds together when cut.

Will have 2 chunks for supper tonight and freeze the remainder do make 6 more meals for the wife and I. We do not always succeed but one of the things we thought we would do when we retired 12 years ago was makes large meals so we can create future meals and save money and time. So at least this time I succeeded. Oh and yes I normally do the cooking. After we retired I took over that duty since I proved to be good at it.

I feed crows. We have a platform out back I put peanuts and such on for them.
I also facet have been at it for a few decades. Of course have quite a few stones cut and stashed away. So I have started taking some of the non valuable, mostly glass pieces and place one or two on the platform away from the food. They usually take what is up there but sometime leave green and yellow pieces for a feeding or two.
I do get gifts in return, car keys once blanks from an electrical outlet box and little bits of foil and such are the usual type of gifts. No money or valuable jewelry so far. But I bet there is someone out there that thinks their crows have access to a dragons lair or found an old treasure chest.
