There wasn ' t pumpkin pie at my in laws I can ' t believe it . So basically I am fantasizing about mashed potatoes . <| sep |> It ' s definitely another spot of ambiguity in this process , but I wouldn ' t be surprised if the notary was only required in cases where the ownercoowner could not be present at the time of the buyback appointment . They check your photo ID before doing the paperwork , which I guess is enough to satisfy them you are who you say you are . That ' s also why the notary was necessary for the buyback paperwork you uploaded to VW . It wasn ' t done in person , so a notary was required to attest to the identity of the person signing the buyback agreement . <| sep |> the seaquest future has arrived . <| sep |> I forgot all about it until some posted a reminder in daddit . She was a pound over the limit , and I felt so bad . She still fit with it , but she did gain a lot more head space . I ' ll never make that mistake again .
