Seems this has been a good-news week for some of our members. Congratulations.

For those of us still waiting, one more day to put behind us, one more day less waiting.

It appears a post of mine was misunderstood yesterday and taken as criticism of a boardmember's statement. I just want to say that couldn't be further from the truth. It was not taken in the light it was posted, I was actually in agreement with another post, so I wish that those it offended would realize it.

Other then that, good morning.

Good morning Jean!!! Sometimes things come across differently in type than you mean .... age of the pc, modern technology.... gotta love it, gotta hate it! I hope to go back to sleep a little before work now... I just had to wake up & see what happened w/ Massouna & Ali.... good news as expected!
to be continued....

amal

I barely got out of bed I am so tired, but I wanted to see how massouna and ali's interview went. Congrats to them. Back to work for me tomorrow actually glad it's boring staying at home with nothing to do
Good Luck to Noor hope he gets that job!!

Everyone else have a nice thursday!!!

We had a very good morning at our infopass appointment! Wadi got his interim EAD since his regular one hasn't come through yet. I was afraid the RFE we got for the AOS was going to make them say no, but they didn't even mention it!

The only annoying thing is that we were up early because I made the appointment for 7:15 so that I could get into work as early as possible. Turns out the person who makes the EAD cards doesn't come in until 8:30. So we had to wait around for a while, and I was super late to wrok!

But I'm not complaining... So nice for Wadi to have that card in his hand. And he's got a job waiting for him, so we're feeling pretty good right now!

Congrats, Jenn! I know you and Wadi must be relieved to finally have an EAD in your hands.

Happy Thursday! My eyes are red and blurry after last nights chat room party, but it sure was fun! I am off from work today and will fill my day with cleaning the house and doing some shopping.

Great news amal about Noor's interview! Hope he gets it!
Jenn--congrats to your man on his EAD!

Wake up Jp, Kel and icey!!!!!!!!!!! Ali got the visa-------no AR!

Jackie

Today appears to be my meltdown day. WHOOPIE!!! 3 times in the bathroom to cry so far. Somebody shoot me please...

Happy Thursday ladies....darnit we all fell asleep 5 min before Ali got his visa , for the ladies that came to chat last nite.... I had a great time

Once again a big congrats to Lebenese Bride!!!!!!!!

Good luck vibes coming your way Amal!!!

good luck to your husband amal i am sure all will go well!!

Jean i know the feeling.But ya know what cry girl it can be good.Hell i did that yesterday and then layed in bed and eat some things i am sure i will hate myself for later lol Hang tough.Sometimes i feel like i get like that everey few days but then i see ashraf and all thew sadness and stress passes.Its his sweet face that makes me know that things will be ok in the end.

I'm champing at the bit to get out of here. I know myself... I'll sob all the way home. Ben and Jerry's was on sale at the grocery store last night... 2/$5.00. Guess you know what my face will be buried in. It's really REALLY difficult not to gain any more weight. I am a comfort eater. I refuse to smoke. I do not drink. I EAT. EW! Mohammed has told me not to worry so much about things like weight and do what I need to do to get through this, but I don't want the man not recognizing me in the airport, or mistaking me for another air bus. Blah. One good thing, I have almost gotten myself caught up at work which was monumental. I tend to get really intense when I'm like this. I just bury myself and don't talk to anyone (that way I won't cry). LOL

Ohhhh Noooo Jean!!! I feel you habibity! I wish I was there to give you a big hug...((((Jean)))))

Don't cry in the bathroom..the bad jinn will get you in there.

Love to you,
Kara






Good luck and congrats to Jenn and Amal! Mabrook again to Massouna!!!

If I cry in the warehouse, all the men will run away... hmmm... wait... that might be such a bad idea!!! Moh just called me all excited. He has a new melody and is bring his guitar tonight and wants me to write lyrics with him. This is how we spent so much of our time in Egypt... writing songs. Some of them aren't too bad. We recorded them on my lap top and burned them to CD. I'm all excited now. I love to write and haven't done much in the last year. Yippee!! My hero!

Amal, best of luck to your Noor tomorrow. Sounds like a great job for him!

Jean, I know you feel like you're just at a breaking point, and it's OK to be sad about this, but don't let your whole life revolve around it. Try not to talk about it in your conversations with Moh, try to go back to just being a couple instead of a couple that feels like you've been waiting forever.

And try to get out and do some exercise, take walks or bike rides or something. It really will do wonders for your mood. I know it's probably the last thing you want to be doing right now, but it could really stabilize you. I know this from experience.

And of course you always have us!!! Post all you want. This is a very trying time, but this too shall pass.

Hugs
Sharon

awwww Jean - ((((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))))))))

I think we have all had our share of jobs that we hated. I too had one where I would cry everyday ... I called my mom one day and said "Mom they threatened me is it okay if I quit I can't handle this anymore" and she was like "COME HOME MASSOUNA NOW ! Dont put in a two weeks walk out" and I did and it was the best decision of my life. Allah brought me to my current job where I make double what I made there and am soooooooooooooooooo much happier. Do not work at a place that is costing you your well being, it's not worth it.

Amal will say an extra prayer for your husband.

Jenn glad Wadi was able to get his card.

Laura hopefully Abdel will have his soon.

LB congrats again.

And everyone else hope good news continue in this thread.
