My Graveyard

…I’ve hit a wall. 

Well, this was to be expected.  The records from the closed state hospital went to the new “super hospital” (a huge hospital spanning several buildings and dominating the town in which they stand) and (by the sounds of it) were tossed into a basement closet somewhere to be forgotten about.

It seems I was seriously impositioning these people to try to find out why my birth certificate might have taken so long to get the doctor’s signature and they didn’t really seem to understand why I was curious about it.  Apparently, people only inquire about their birth certificate for 2 reasons:

1. to get a copy
2. to correct wrongful information on it (and hell, I didn’t know you could do that because I thought they were supposed to verify the info before they typed them up anyway).

Normally, sure.

In my seriously impositioning and time wasting of these busy, busy people,  my answer is “Perhaps the doctor was just busy”.  ><

What I know from my digging around is that it is true there were lots of babies born in the state where I was that year, just bearing my same surname alone there were over 600 (which makes me wonder how many Jones or Smith babies were born there that year, holy cow!), but I do have one of the more common last names

Maybe it’s true the doctor was really busy.  It still wouldn’t account for all the other issues that bring the matter to question, does it?   Y’know, the no family resemblances and stuff.

In the end, I suppose it doesn’t matter too much.  It doesn’t change who I am.  It’s all a matter of curiosity, I don’t expect to find some perfect family out there waiting for me all these years, I wouldn’t bother them if I did.  So, there it is.  As far as the super hospital is concerned nothing is remiss, that doctor was just busy delivering babies and was hard-pressed to find time to sit down and sign all of the certificates.  OK, it could’ve been worse.  =) 

tor7861, let’s have a quick & very frank chat shall we? I am deleting yuour comments for a reason. They say “Awesome!” It somehow seems neither appropriate nor is it adding to the conversation of my blog. Your comments are not being “accidentally” deleted. I have purposefully done it each of the 3 times you’ve added it now. Get the hint, my friend. I don’t want it there.

Blog.com hasn’t got a keen way for me to block your individual comments, yet, though I have requested them to. Until they implement such a thing, I am going to keep deleting your “Awesome!”

I am sure you’re going around trying to tag as many blogs as you can with your comment. I have seen it on others blogs and they all say the same thing, “Awesome!”

Yeah, that “Awesome!” really added something to that person’s post about how their ferret died. Geez, man, that was outrightly jerkish. It’s “Awesome!” your ferret died, it’s “Awesome!” the vet they went to was going to make them sit in the waiting room while the ferret suffered, it’s “Awesome!” you ended up begging some other vet to just put the little thing down so she’d die quickly. Yeah, that was cool. How sympathetic, dick. You’re not even reading the damn posts, are you?

Well I hope you’re reading this one. You’re comment spamming. KNOCK IT OFF.
