12:41:10 AM Tara Ariano: Where did you put my birth certificate after you scanned it?
12:41:14 AM Tara Ariano: It’s not in the folder.
12:41:24 AM Dave Cole: Are you sure? I put in all together.
12:41:33 AM Dave Cole: Did you look in folded paper, etc?
12:41:47 AM Tara Ariano: The envelope that it had been in just has Leah’s organ donor card in it now.
12:41:49 AM Tara Ariano: I’ll look again.
12:42:10 AM Dave Cole: I just scanned the two small ones. If it was a long-form thing, I didn’t scan that
12:42:32 AM Dave Cole: There was a old one and a new one
12:42:53 AM Tara Ariano: It was not a long-form thing.
12:42:55 AM Tara Ariano: I know.
12:44:04 AM Dave Cole: I put them together in a pile. Either on my desk or the console. Maybe Marcela moved them
12:44:24 AM Dave Cole: Check my desk’s bundle of papers
12:44:58 AM Dave Cole: I’ll double check I didn’t take them… one sec.
12:45:01 AM Tara Ariano: There’s a pile of stuff on the shinebox beside your desk, but that looks like the scans, not the originals.
12:45:12 AM Dave Cole: Yeah I mean on my desk
12:45:18 AM Dave Cole: near the lamp
12:45:25 AM Tara Ariano: There’s no pile.
12:45:39 AM Tara Ariano: Or rather, there’s a small pile of receipts and stuff, no ID.
12:46:40 AM Dave Cole: No I don’t have it. Did you check the console desk
12:47:11 AM Tara Ariano: There’s no pile.
12:47:17 AM Dave Cole: Ok.
12:47:28 AM Dave Cole: Check the console pull out and my desk drawer
12:48:14 AM Dave Cole: Check the floor under the console. Maybe it fell down. When you say you checked the folder….
12:48:26 AM Dave Cole: You mean the manila folder or the passport folder?
12:48:37 AM Tara Ariano: I already said I’d check the folder again and then you told me to look everywhere else.
12:48:40 AM Dave Cole: The green passport folder
12:48:44 AM Tara Ariano: I meant the file folder.
12:48:52 AM Tara Ariano: Did you put it in my passport cover?
12:48:54 AM Dave Cole: Yes
12:49:06 AM Dave Cole: Stuffed everything in there
12:49:18 AM Dave Cole: Which I told you.
12:49:33 AM Tara Ariano: I thought you meant the FOLDER, like the file folder.
12:49:35 AM Dave Cole: But you are getting The Old
12:49:39 AM Tara Ariano: WHATEVER, I found it.
12:49:42 AM Dave Cole: YEAH!
12:49:47 AM Tara Ariano: The green thing is not a folder.
12:50:02 AM Tara Ariano: There is a passport cover on my passport, which I keep in a travel wallet.
12:50:18 AM Tara Ariano: Don’t try to turn this around on me just because you have an inferior vocabulary.
12:50:27 AM Tara Ariano: Why I would even need to bring a birth certificate I don’t know but whatever.
12:51:33 AM Dave Cole: I told you it was there and I drew you a map showing a green folder and I called it the Green Doctrine and I changed my name to old greenie.
12:51:53 AM Dave Cole: I painted my nuts green too. REMEMBER?
12:53:01 AM Tara Ariano: I don’t miss you anymore.

Maybe Tara doesn’t remember the last bit because I actually painted one yellow and the other blue then ran around the apartment REALLY fast.
