Good afternoon

i get the feeling you guys were up with the larks...

Khurram, you know that we are here for you!

This place is great, it helps us to share with people that are also going thru this awful visa process

And feel better, who else could understand such a process?

UGH that's the truth.. man.. people back home don't understand at all.. they say "you can't work yet?" BAH!!!

I'm glad I found it too. This process can really take it out of you and for all the days you are on the upswing of optimism or the 'i just don't care' mood, the downer of the 'why is it taking so long' can really cut right into you

so i slink off into here, read all about the fascination people have with beer, which countries have it cheeper, and who hates abbreviations and who can't remember their meanings to hate them, and I laugh and I feel better

sadly though, as i don't drink beer, i can't really say if it is a bargain here in SoCal or if its a rip off like in some city pubs in the UK

I cannot wait to tell stories about VJ to my grandchildren

My family is actually OK with my decision and they know by know the whole process (they think I sound like an expert about this matter ) but other people wonder how I can deal with a LDR (long distance relationship) and they say Oh who knows what's he's doing and blah blah blah... they cannot believe I trust a man that is on another country and that I am fine with that

I'ts such a painful process but the good part is that there is an end to it and that's where we need to look forward to

That's pure love, to trust somebody that you do not see every day is the foundation of a lifetime relationship

There is definitely a sense of victory when you get through the process and marry the person who stole your heart and just happened to live in another country.
Even though it doesn't end, with the whole AOS and removing conditions and eventual naturalization, if that's the ultimate goal, just knowing that you made it through one set of hurdles sure makes the rest seem like a walk in the park.

My beloved is actually quite a star for his patience and understanding when little things get to me - like getting back to back touches for a week then ignored for months on end, or watching people who filed for AOS after you get approved while you still sit in FBI name check limbo.

But you know what, even though there are times this sucks like sour lemons...

... I'd do it all again for him in a heartbeat

well said guys!! Everytime my hubby does something that's full of understanding and compassion and love I am like secretly STICKING it to everyone who "warned" me about the whole packing up my life and moving to the US.. tee hee.. Anyway, it's such a beautiful thing to follow you heart *and my head* and for things to work out.. Sometimes things don't go from bad to worse!

Well, much as it has been short and sweet this morning, I have to love you and leave you and go get ready for my day out.

I'll catch up with y'all later

A

See you later Annie, have a nice day!

Good Afternoon and where is everyone ?

I'm here was just watching the drama unfold in the thread about Aussiewench..

where did the thread go?

It got moved to General Discussion Area>Site Related Discussion - Updates, Ideas, etc.

The Captain made a comment as well

different thread - the original was deleted.

We speak of different threads.. i never saw the "original" just this newer one with the message from beyond..

Wow, it's amazing what's going on those threads

I saw the original one last nite and the ones that followed

I think i'm too new and don't really understand the issue.. but it's like most things around here, interesting to wrap your mind around it!

I missed it

Lord have mercy!

I appreciate everything i get from you guys

Wowzers that thread did take a turn... YIKERS..

just a quick hi to evreyone.....got to go on a mission....see ya later.....

see ya

I missed the 200 page celebration!!

I have a little time to kill before I leave for work, so I am here!!!

Well welcome Stacey, How are you today?

Hi Stacey , Hi Khurram !

I'm good! How are you?

Doing good but busy as hell.....I gotta run......Ill be back soon

Hello everyone!

Haven't had a chance to browse the topic as it's been crazy at work. Just wanted to say hello first.

WoooHooo! Congrats on the raise Sol!

I am gonna go browse for a few more minutes then I have to go to work. I will be back here after 9 tonight!!

Congrats on the raise Solly!!! woo hoo!!!

CONGRATS sdv!!

Oh Annie! I'll be praying that your hubby, Hunky John, will be out of namecheck limbo soon.

Sorry if I'm sounding disjointed folks. Posting as I browse. All done for now

**running off to see what's up with the aussiewench topic**

yes, that topic is really hot right now

It's messed up from what I have read so far. I have to worry about other things , so pfffttttt .....my attitude as usual.

Everyone is in chat right now talking about it (aussiewench)

Hello, back from lunch, saying hi while having an iced latte I have to check that thread out, is that the one that Capn started?

and I am in there spying

I just went there and read and even the founder of VJ is posting there. Itt was nice to see him.

The rest is pure DRAMA.

Drama it's true.. but it's like a moth to flame for me

Just left the chat. Nothing much is going on really ... not in terms of getting the issue resolved ... especially since he two personalities involved are not in there.

Steve had to leave (as he is at work). Ewok's still on his way home. So it's just a bunch of members expressing their opinions.

Personally I can't express any opinion about the issue as there isn't enough information. **shrug**

I hear ya on that tip, Eau.
Khurram , fine job!

It's true.. I feel that way too.. too many "opinions" not enough facts

I just hope that this will not result in too much Moderation being established on VJ. It has grown to what it is now because it gives members the freedom to post as long as we don't go outside the bounds of the TOS.

I have learned this, when push becomes shove, the one's who are all mouth fold like a lawnchair. Sometimes, ya just gotta sit back and enjoy the show !

That is quite possibly the wisest thing i've read on VJ so far
