Lonely dudes club?
I used to really like the military. It was a natural transition after college. A beautiful way to spend one’s 20s. Now that I’m in a leadership role, with no friends, and no real colleagues (in my very niche career field), I have no idea what to do with myself.

Alaska Club Issue or AIO?
So I am a little taken aback by Alaska Club. We were never asked if we were married, but we were open and upfront about being married partners, specifically stating during the membership sign-up that my husband and I were looking to sign up. I did notice the membership consultant skimmed over the married part of the application as he was scrolling through it (I figured it didn't matter since we were applying for a couples program), and he didn't bother asking to confirm whether we were or were not. He was by no means rude or anything, but the situation was very much preventable.
Imagine our surprise, after more than a week, when my husband inquired about our membership cards and was told that our application was 1) placed on hold because we had to sign an affidavit for an unmarried couple's application, 2) there's nothing they can do because the application was processed (like what? I thought it was on hold?), and 3) if we didn't want to sign the affidavit, we had to send a copy of our marriage certificate? (We were told it was too late to change the application, and we needed proof we married AFTER THE FACT?) If the application was processed erroneously and then placed on hold for processing, why would they not correct the sales consultant's mistake instead of requesting a gay married couple to furnish proof of marriage by asking for a marriage certificate when this was not a requirement when we signed up for it, and I assume not a requirement for any heterosexual identifying marriages? Also, who in the world brings a marriage certificate to the club, let alone a gym?
AIO? Has anyone signed up and was asked to provide a marriage certificate as proof of marriage? I sent an email to accounting last week and it's been crickets. Has anyone had issues with how they handle things?
UPDATE 10/27 Alaska Club did process the contract the same day they asked for our marriage certificate, weird, and we are locked in. Thanks to the manager at the South location someone from their accounting department finally responded and apologized. Basically saying "my bad I'll see to it that we will address it". We will stick with them until the contact is over and then go from there. Unfortunately, it was the only place that we knew that had a gym, a pool, sauna, steam room, hot tub, fitness classes nd other small things we liked. Thank you all for some recommendations and confirming that I was not overreacting to the situation. Hopefully it's the only "weird" situation we will face here.

This is his only car and we really cant afford to buy another car, we have reported it but it was useless since its under their parents name so they gotta report it first.

Which early voting locations have the shortest wait times?
I've been twice to the midtown mall and the wait was over an hour. I don't have that kind of time.
Any suggestions?
