You go from rant rant rant about all things yucky and unfair, to congrats and great news and rah rah rah in a split second!

Phew.
Exhausting








and







exhilarating.



That's all.

I couldn't agree more!!!
I love VJ!

Did I miss something?

Wow, you make it sound like a football game or something.

I think Visa Journey is more like a drug. It is my internet crack. I need it every day and have to see what is going on. Please help!

Don't panic!
Help is on its way...

hee, hee.

We're all hooked!!!

That might explain why I have a spoon, needle and a lighter handy whenever I post.   Dealing with the USCIS is indeed like having a bad trip.   Come to think of it, now that you mention it at the consulate there was a girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

OMG
I love it.

Speaking of kaleidoscope eyes, if anyone here has seen Across the Universe and has not been singing the songs for over a week afterwards, please let me know.
That movie is addictive.


For Krikit's benefit, I will explain the idea behind this thread, or rather, the motivation.
Here I am, trying to do my best every day.
And some days, I suck and other days I shine.
I get so wrapped up in the emotions of the people here, the wonder-full VJ people ,
and then I have my own shtuff I am dealing with...oh yes, and I am a hand-full.
Honestly, I still cannot comprehend that my sweetie thought he could. Bahaha.
Oh I am digressing....
oops.

Then there are people like Ron and Sharon and Delicia and Necrotica that are having a really really challenging time,
and then there are others floating by smooth as silk.
Lucky and unlucky?
I wonder about those words.
Hmmmmm...



My roller coaster ride is just that.
Joy for some and sadness for others (as well as for myself).

Such is life.
And it is exemplified on these pages.




Is brilliance just an illusion? (Me, who at times believes I am so smart, bah!)
Isn't everything?
And if it is, why the feeling of being trapped, stuck at times?
(Yup, the eternal question....and yes even me...especially me.)

Ahh, well. Such is life. I find everything goes in phases. You have a period of things going along smoothly, and then other times it all takes a nosedive. Some days are diamonds.... some days are stone.

Nice song

John Denver was indeed a gifted singer and songwriter.

All alone in the universe, sometimes that's how it seems
I get lost in the sadness and the screams
Then I look in the center, suddently everything's clear
I find myself in the sunshine and my dreams

Not soo good of a pilot.

Experimental aircraft sometimes don't fly too well, his father used to fly B-58s (USAF) and set a few speed records in the "Bomber To The Stars." I guess if it's your time, it's your time, not much you can do about it.

I absolutely John Denver. I always play his CD when I'm driving home and I get to the mountains. My husband drove back with me, once, and whined when I put him on. But then he agreed with me that it was perfect mountain-driving music. (score one for wifey) I also used to play him when I was out on the boat in Georgian Bay. It just seems so perfect to hear his songs when you're in beautiful places. My cousin was up north with me when I had him playing and went out and bought the CD.... then adopted a gorgeous puppy and named him Denver.

You guys made me cry.

Thank you Krikit and thank you Mumsie.
How sweet you both are and John Denver, too; hadn't listened to him since I was a kid.
