Good luck Chad, later!

Hey PM!!

Hey SOl, how are you?

Hi sister N and sister PM......they are doing great, all snuggled up and nursing.
Wish I had a digital and able to post a pic....still in the dark ages.
Actualy had the digital but SO dropped it while riding a 'motorbike'.
I will figure something out to post a pic down the road.

Hi P.M.!

Hi Omoba! Glad to hear about the successful delivery! Looking forward to pictures of the mom and babies soon!

I doing OK PM, thank you Here at work, but without the will to work It's sunny after two weeks of rain and I wanna go out!

got to go do some stuff, will be back later.

I remember when this thread started and now, seeing that it is at page 191, it makes me wonder that a lot of people must really want a blue box.

I think, sadly, that I am several hundred posts away from achieving one for myself, but I just want to say good luck to everyone looking to gain a box or a heart for themselves.

To me, it's become more than just wanting a blue box or heart, lol...there are some cool people in here.

Yes, I'm working, too. Supposed to be doing a report...shhhh.

I wanna see pics of the puppies soon. I bet they are sooo cute.

Hey eau_explain! How are ya?

I agree with you P.M. This place has become more than just a place to fulfill one's quest for that box or heart. It's a great place to hang out and have fun with the coolest (and nicest) people on VJ. I hope it stays that way.

(Of course, if I happen to get another in the process, I will be and ... hehehe)

Speaking of s .. only 184 to my next one!!




I'm doing well, thank you for asking P.M. I'm at work and hanging out here too. How's your day going?

I agree with Eau and PM, this has become our hangout place, we have a lot of fun in here But if we get a heart in the process, that won't hurt, would it

Wanna see the puppies too

i've been watching you guys and not posting This is halarious
i love it !

Isn't it?!!

Welcome Emancipation and WOHJ!!

help me out here.. acronyms are not my friend

they meant me

Hee hee.. okay.. so maybe today was a good day to spend in bed lol

We have ranks, also.

It's ok, all the abbreviations get to me too. It's bad enough that there is such a thing as text speak, but when you have AOS EAD AP and all that as well, it makes me just want to lie down till people start using words with actual words in.

grin

Woohoo so we have more friends joining us?

Work is going ok, just waiting for lunch because I am starving. My boss keeps piling more crap on me. I think he suspects I have a VJ addiction.

I'm sorry about the abbreviation .. wasn't quite sure how to address you ... Wife? WifeOHunkyJohn? Guess I better learn to type faster.

Dont let him think he has you all figured out, PM.

Me, I am reading the news online - it's my thing... maybe I am a bit of a nerd, I dunno.
Anyway, as I was rooting through the news, and posting anything immigration related, I found this...

Just when you think the world cannot shock you any more than it already has:

California Man Cuts Off Mom's Head With Saw, Dies Trying to Cut Off His Own

LA HABRA, Calif. — An Orange County man cut off his mother's head with a circular saw and then died after trying to decapitate himself, authorities said.

Police answered a 911 report of a family dispute at a Pinehurst Avenue home just after 5:30 a.m. Tuesday, entered a locked bedroom and found the body of 60-year-old Guadalupe Ruiz on a bed, police spokeswoman Cindy Knapp said.

Arthur Ruiz Jr., 32, was on another bed with the saw nearby. He had died of neck injuries, police said.

It was unclear why Ruiz attacked his mother, police said.

A child and three other adults were in the three-bedroom home when police arrived. Several families rented rooms in the home, Knapp said.

A neighbor, Paula Sanchez, said she heard the saw before going on a daily walk but thought someone was doing work in the house or yard.

"If it would have been a gunshot or something, I would have called the police," she said.

Authorities said Ruiz pleaded guilty to driving drunk in Garden Grove in 1999, was sentenced to 45 days in jail for being under the influence of drugs in Fullerton in 2000 and was given 18 days in jail for refusing to leave a home in 2004.

Hee hee I once yelled at my hubby for gov. speak.. he was referring to I-485, blah blah blah... I said "you mean paper for greencard right - Don't make it complicated!! I cna't handle the stress boy!!".. lol.. good times..

Welcome to the new friends that like to have fun as much as we do

My desk is far away from my boss but they don't know about my VJ addiction (yet) This is awful (the addiction, not VJ heh)

"Annie" is fine
cos its my name

LOL, I won't, he keeps walking up on me as I'm browsing through threads and then I hurry and minimize the screen (as if he hadn't already seen it anyway, lol).



ROFL!!! oops...rolling on the floor laughing.

Annie, Queen of Scotts !

WELCOME TO VJ !!!

CONGRATULATIONS !!!

GEEZEZ !!!

Welcome to the blue boxes and s heaven Annie!


My name is Xenia ... but you can call me Eau or X

Welcome!

Yeah it can get quite complicated, if somebody hears anybody going thru this process it sounds like reading chemistry or the periodic table

I-129f for K-1, right?
And then after, the I-485.
Yes AOS, O'really?
Aha, and maybe you need the AP plus the EAD.
And others are going thru K-3's.

Correction, thats Eau, Special Operations Officer, Commander of VJ Intelligence.

I know what that feels like.
I worked in a UK government related office, and got a call one day that had me baffled. Because everyone is known by initials, and forms are known by numbers, I got this person who said something like:
"Hi, can I speak to [letter letter] about [number number] and [number number] because [letter letter] over at [letter letter] got [number number] instead of [number number] and [letter letter] of [letter letter number number] needs [letter letter... or was it number number] to verify [number number] before they [number number] the [number number] to [letter letter]."
I was like...
"pardon?"
and this very polite voice at the other end of the phone went...
"you're new, aren't you?"


Said it all, really

Welcome Annie!

Don't forget you I-134's and I-864's!

Oh man.. forget all the other topics.. now you guys have me hooked and crying I'm laughing so hard..

I love that there are ranks here... I've never been in the military.. my daddy wouldn't "allow" his little girl to be in cadets.. boo.

At least they are nice enough to call the biometrics the biometrics, right?

And thank you all for the nice welcome
Good to know that we can be a part of something fun and friendly while we endure all these immigration hurdles. Makes the journey less lonely, I can tell you

I laugh til I cry in here, too. I don't have a fancy rank, but I am a nurse's aid!! Omoba and I help remove the wounded and dead from the battlefield.

OH how could I forget the I-134 and I-864???

I don't have time to look at another threads anymore, this one is the best

Now why would we have wounded & dead around these here VJ parts?? *thinks for a sec......................


Soooo you guys are pretty busy then huh?

hey, we are 6 1/2 pages away from 200. I don't think I'll be able to join the 200 page party because I'll be at lunch. *cry cry cry* I missed the 100 page party, too.

I actually am supposed to be working on the edits for my still-in-progress first novel and this is more fun. And getting a giggle from the fact its not just me that trips over all these abbreviations is reassuring. Makes me feel less clumsy

Emancipation, not really...because our commander or whatever is really good at what they do...most times it's a direct hit to the enemy and we just remove the dead.

then we should all type faster

Wait until you get past AOS. Then you'll have to do form numbers .. I-751 for removal of conditions, N-400 for naturalization. Hard enough to remember acronyms, how much more form numbers!!

Definately not just you. Sometimes I have to sit and stare at the screen and go down a mental list of what can fit that abbreviation until SOMETHING makes sense.

Oh yeah.. i'm clumsy alright.. my husband refers to it as "dorkiness".. He spends much of his time rolling his eyes.. but ya know it's part of my charm!

Yes we do! Yesterday Admiral Sol de Verano, who commands the VJ Pacific Fleet fired upon the enemy and reported no survivors! We were very proud of her.

faster we type!

you know you're bored when you sit staring at the screen, clicking refresh just to see what comments get posted after yours...

....then everyone gets quiet.
