BYOB

Jackie

What did you do, Jackie, sleep late ? The early bird gets the worm.... somebody beat you to the punch....



-MK

no bepsi, but i'll be there with dr pepper

Nope, didn't sleep late. This is the 'official' invitation

Jackie

OMG! 48 hours for Irene! 72 hours for Julianb (sorry don't know you!)!! 182 hours and 53 minutes for meeeeeee!

182 hours is not long after you take out sleeping time!

Jackie
Charles, BYODP be there or be square

Uh oh.... either there are two parties at the same time in the same place, or there's a renegade out there issuing 'unofficial' invitations to your shindig.... hope you have enough Bebsi for all these gate-crashers lol.....



-MK

Heee! leaves about 127 hours of waiting!!

I will be here with my bag of Flamin hot cheeze doodles & Kool aid!

Did someone say cheese doodles ????????

You coming tommorrow night WOM? Sounds like we are going to have a crowd. Come early and pick your own personal VJ chat avatar. (Laura is the frog)

Jackie

Not sure yet but I'll try.

Wowww personal VJ chat avatars ?? Sounds pretty dern enticing.... I haven't been in the chat for a year or so.... might just have to check that out.....



-MK

WOM: wouldn't that be sort of crunchy and gritty in all the wrong places?

I did something stunning and typical for me last night, I figured I would use my Dead Sea mud pack up, only I forgot I:

A) have bloody fingertips from biting my nails and
Just shaved all over.. ALLL OOOOVVVEER and
C) I figured I would just mud up then sit in the bath and rinse it off and then shower off after that. OMG. It was the same excruciating BURN I had when I swam in there!

And yet, somehow, this is just normal for me.

who me????

No renegade here...Jax and I are working together on this one

No bebsi for me either - on a diet so I can fit my wedding dress. I've lost the weight and need to keep it off - at least until after the wedding lolol.

I'll be there!

i need to get my dress adjusted for our reception. I keep putting it off because I am hoping to loose a bit more... and also it's going to be like $100. OMG! Why?! Anyway, since it's strapless I can't fake the fit-- I don't want it to just slide off like it does now! LOL! Could definately violate the whole modesty thing my Dh has going, as it is the strapless thing is kind of freaking him out hee!

BYOCLS (crystal light sticks )

I would certainly think so ! And just the thought of all that orange residue in all those crevices.... * shudder *

Heeheee this is gonna be a bangin' party with all the promotion out there.... that's teamwork !

Oh and there's always Diet Bebsi. Or actually I prefer Bebsi Wahad.

I never even heard of these.... are they frozen or what ?

If I can manage to stay awake, I might show up with some apple juice . . . NO caffeine for me late at night and I just happen to have a big bottle left from my liquid diet last Sunday . . . I never even touched it, hehe, after I take those pills and start drinking the yucky stuff, there is no way I want to taste anything!!

Anyhooooooo! I am not promising I'll be there, but I will think about it!!

best of luck Irene!!!!!!!!!

got my water and popcorn waiting for the good news!!

chi

Ok I am going to be there and I will bring sixlets and diet Dr Pepper.

No, they're like these little individual flavor packets to add to a bottle of water

I'll be there too with peanuts (boring) and most likely water (boring again) but the chatroom will be exciting and make up for the boring (diet) snacks and drink. Irene, wishing you all the luck for you and hubby! See you online tonight!

Hi,
Thanks for all your words of encouragement, support, tips, etc.
Your interview is on my daughter's birthday: May 10th
Wishing you a Happy Interview as well.

Irene & Tawfiq

PS: What is tentative date for wedding?

Oh, I forgot to ask: How do I access the MENA updates on interviews? I'm still trying to find my way around the VJ site and I don't have much computer experience.

Thanks for tips.....

Hi Irene,

You are very welcomed! We plan on marrying as soon as possible after he arrives. I have the venue picked etc, but not leaving any deposits until I know he is approved. It is going to be a small party (about 30 ppl), so we should be able to plan it last minute within a couple of weeks.

To access interviews go up to immigration timelines, then click on either k1 or k3 then you can filter by country.

see ya tomorrow night!

become an "after", stay an "after"

Is it going to be a RAVE party? Light sticks for everyone!!!

What happens in a MENA slumber party............stays in a MENA slumber party

Jackie

i'm becoming worried about showing up now

Don't worry Charles. Everything will be ok. What could possibly happen at a slumber party??

everyone will throw their pillows and empty bepsi cans at me

You should see what happens to the one that falls asleep first !

Jackie

that won't be me, i'll be at work on a 12 hour shift

So you might be the one keeping the lights on, Charles

Have you all cleared your scedules for tonights party? Got your snacks ready? Bring a friend along and we will fill the room with support for Irene while she waits to hear from her husband! See you all tonight!

Jackie
