I have been wondering. How do you do it Aly, that you always fit so many replys in one post? Do you have to do it really really fast? I sometimes fit two or three together when I donīt poke around for too long, but you fit so many of them together and I think they are replys to stuff from several pages of the thread unsure.gif


dont worry, i was wondering about that too...i was like wow! she must be an incredibely fast typer!! ohmy.gif

We are leaving in a few minutes fro Griff's biometrics appointment! I know its only fingerprinting, BUT still its just that one step closer to him getting his green card!


Do let us know how you get on, I have mine tomorrow in Providence RI.

Gillian


I think it took longer to get through security than it did for the biometrics! Griff's gripe is that the woman kept telling him to relax during the fingerprinting but he insists that he was already relaxed! It wasn't until she threatened to scrap the whole thing and make him apply again that he was finally able to relax! I, on the other hand, would have sh*t my pants under that threat! laughing.gif

It simply means that I can move topics from one forum to another, to help keep the site organized!

For example, if someone posts a thread inquiring as to whether or not there, is, in fact, an official February filers thread in the K1 questions forum, I will simply move that bad boy right into the K1 celebrations forum. Sadly, there is no black hole forum for such rubbish topics!! laughing.gif

Although, I am still curious, is there an official february filers thread? unsure.gif

I heard from mox... he's ok; just got LOADS on at work, and various stuff happening... he said he'd drop by here when he got the chance though smile.gif

glad the biometrics went well Julez! biggrin.gif
*julez*
Thanks for the Mox update StP! I'm glad all is well with him!

Now, if only we'd hear from babblegirl, I would be completely happy!

Julez - I agree!! I would be a mess if they said that! Ewww.....

Probably a good plan Gillian. Griff is a really laid back kind of guy, so I was surprised they thought he wasn't relaxed!

At my biometrics there was no security at all ohmy.gif And there was this great guy who might have been security cuz he was sitting by the door but he didnīt search us for anything and he was fun to talk to cuz his roots originate in Czech so he was all excited to see us smile.gif

It was like an airport security check for me. X-rayed my handbag, walked through the metal detector and waved the wand at me once I passed through. Had to show photo ID too!

i am going to reveal my true identity here, because i dont know what to do about my last name when i get married!!!!!!!

which name is better:
1) Susan Gundersen-Miceli
2) Susan Miceli-Gundersen

Miceli is pronounced 'Mit-selly' for the record (the 'c' in albanian is pronounced like a 'ts' in english)
*julez*
I'd use one or the other. I'm not such a fan of the hyphenated names as they are too cumbersome. IMO, of course! blush.gif
Toshtishtash
I agree with Julez, but if you really don't want to lose your own surname, then I would go with Susan Gundersen-Miceli. It has more of a ring to it biggrin.gif

yea, ive thought about that too, i would probably stick with my own name...its just a pain in the arse to change everything...we will see i guess
*julez*
I changed my name to my first husband's name even though I didn't want to, so when I got married this time I was quite anxious to change my name to Griff's!

If you don't want to change your name completely, I think your best bet is to not change it at all.

thanks. it might seem weird, but i feel like i cant just dump my last name...a last name says something about a person doesnt it? where they come from and who their family is? i know that he will be my family, and i love albania, but im not albanian, and thats not a physical part of me...i guess i dont know how to explain it really

Toshtishtash
No, I understand where you are coming from. Personally though, I am looking forward to changing mine. I really don't think mine would sound right hyphenated!

From Pearce to Hudgeons biggrin.gif
*julez*
And I don't think its weird at all that you don't want to change your name. For me, I wish the first time I hadn't changed my name, but I think I would have still changed my name this time around if I hadn't the first time.
