had a local notary public sign, date and stamp some documents to be sent to the uk.
all wording was in spanish. the documents were sent and were accepted in the uk.

there was one question put to me though:

"how is it that someone can be qualified to be a notary public, but writes the date as 2-16-12?"

of course, i know what the answer was, and i am sure the prat of a solicitor in england knew what it was as well, but i did ask the local notary public why he did this.

the answer: "i thought you would like the date in english."

.....didn't say anything back, but thought....."i did. it wasn't"


does this qualify for the rd$100 post of the week prize?

I corrected a friend on Facebook who posted about Pi Day, 14th March when she said that 3.14 was the way dates are written "en el mundo angloparlante".

year old zombie thread???? yea.. .but I'll jump in too. LOL the thing about expiration dates, is that there are VERY few that are actual EXPIRATION dates. most are "best by" dates, meaning that the product would be best consumed by that date... but even that is mostly B.S. Two reasons for this. Producers can "cover their asses" against claims arising from consuming "old" stuff.... AND... (probably more to the point)... they get you to throw out the "old" stuff and buy some more!!!!

But the truth is real food doesn't have dates stamped on it. Not one carrot or onion or potato or chicken carcass or beef steak came with a stamp on it. It is just food that has had poisons added to it that has such date stamps.

No "best before" stamps required on those items. (chicken carcass or beef steak)
That's what the "schnoz" is for.
