Yeah it does, all this food talk is making me hungry

Ok, even though I just finished up an amazing plate of spaghetti with meatballs and I'm stuffed, those donuts look really good right about now lol.

I just realized (after reading a post in another forum) that today is the anniversay of my "coming to America". Happy anniversary to me. My, how time flies.

Happy Anniversary!!

Thanks!

I would just like to note.... since it's on the tv.... how happy I am that OJ Murderer might finally be going to prison this time. yay

OOO- OHHH it's my anniversary today too!! of my Medical in Halifax with Dr. Doane.. the day he made me stand buck naked and measured my tattoo!!

It was also the day i "slipped" and blabbed to my mother that I HAD a tattoo.. oopsie... she was.. lemme just say appalled at her little girl!!

Happy Anniversary!!

I have a question

I know you've got to have a numbered list for all the boxes you have...

does it matter if some of those boxes aren't boxes at all but BAGS instead???



for my shoes & clothes

Aye indeed. yesterday was our 3rd wedding anniversary and honestly, it felt like we just got married -- can't believe that 3 years have gone by!

Nope, doesn't matter -- say X number of bags w/clothes. BTW, google "packing tips" - it was a life saver!

Oh congratulations Cassie!!!!!! Wow...three years!! Joel and I were just saying last week that it's hard to believe how much time has passed since he came home. Yeah, for us it still feels like those first few days after the wedding...the honeymoon is definately NOT over!

Oh and congratulations on your one year anniversary of coming to the States Krikit! Time flies so fast it seems. Many more happy years to come to you both.

Y'know, we need a hugging smilie around here...

This is not by any stretch of the mind a vent but for Sharon and I a celebration for the simple reason that she will be shortly returning to work day, the overnight shift was taking its toll on both of us to the point of thinking that this is all too much and we were falling apart when in fact we are both too tired to really appreciate each other as we should be doing. The day shift will allow Sharon to do the things she want to do with time to spare and I will begin sleeping straight through the nights again since there will no longer be getting up at 3 a.m. to Call Sharon during her 2 a.m. lunch break. This news is almost as good as hearing that Montreal is cancelling the 212(a) and 221(g) I got.

Oh man.. i think somewhere on this board they should have a "Top 10 Locked Threads" posting.. some of 'em are down right entertaining!!

I am ridiculously sad today because EI Canada called me today to let me know that they weren't sure if my claim could go through, due to the low number of insurable hours I've collected over the past 52 weeks. This is what I get for working so little while I was in college.

On the other hand, I was seriously impressed that they called me back so that I wouldn't crank up a long-distance bill. Now that's some amazing customer service.

Awe so sorry about the lack of ours.. GAH... appeal!!! No, seriously any chance they might change their minds?

And yep they do offer to call you back no worries.. that is nice..

Yep... it really did happen.. my tattoo is halfway down my back and is (as I found out from the good Dr) 4X2 inches ... It was humiliating

....and the reason for measuring said tattoo is? *wonders is anything sacred anymore*

He told me that identifying marks such as large scars and tattoos were required to be noted for size and description (he even asked for the type of flower on the tatoo) on the medical sheet for the US gov.

My husband thinks he wanted a peek at my azz..

Only because it's gorgeous, bay-beeeeee!

Well Hubby is kinda partial to it!!!

Then I realize it's moving day for you tomorrow! Are you nervous!?

yes!! so super nervous I didn't want to come out from under my blanket this morning!!!!

I'm nervous just reading your post, THANKS ALOT! PS....are you "home" yet?

PSS...Doug's moving day: 11/16

awww, well I hope that passes soon! It will actually be kind of fun, a move, new place to live, exciting.

What is making you most nervous?

I don't know..
I think it's all the changes all at once.....................

I'm the complete opposite of how your feeling. I'm more excited and anxious to get out of here than I'am nervous. Well I'm sure your all of the above as well. Just remember to breathe lol. You'll feel a lot better as soon as you get home with Ol. Have a safe trip too!

Mary

Yeah, hopefully it is getting more exciting than nervous-making as the day goes on. Wine and chocolate might help too

Don't worry, Liz. I was pretty nervous before I moved, thinking "oh wow, this is a huuuuuuge step!"

Then I got there, and it was all good.

Baby, it's super OK to be nervous about change. It IS a big freaking deal to leave your life as you know it behind. The only 'wise' advise I could give you is enjoy the trip and take it one day at a time. Play tourist for a while, learn the bus routes etc. You'll be so busy that worrying would not have space in your schedule, bride-to-be!!!

((((((((((((((LIZ)))))))))))))))))) It's gonna be okay hon. Hang in there, settling in is always hard regardless of where you move to or from. And you know we're all here for you, even if it's by keyboard.

Liz!! You'll be excited and nervous...and that's OKAY! It's a big move! I was that way before my move. Thankfully I had nothing but my suitcases when I moved. It was kind of sad that that's really all I had to take with me...but what a wonderful new beginning to the rest of my life!

Take it day by day...and enjoy!

Carla

Thinking about you Liz! Hope the move is going well!

*sigh* sometimes I just need to keep my mouth shut. Some days, it's just not worth it to offer an opinion.

I hear you my friend.. feel free to PM me if you NEED to get it off your chest

done

Ahhhh Cassie.. I hear you!!

thanks again

And I hear you all. Sometimes I wish I could just.......

tee hee.. my poor hubby gets the worst of my lol!! I rant to him A LOT

my hubby too, but he is also sick of me talking about VJ sometimes..

ok I just changed my statement under my avatar...

I got this many times, "ooh so your from Canada eh ?" just like all of you did...

But

I don't say Eh

You always say that!

Is he jealous or something?

Carla

Nah, its just I spent waay too much time reading stuff, when I am supposed to get off my butt and clean or cook or do all the things I say I will do....but when I look at the time it's always too late

Or sometimes in the most unrelated conversation about immigration, example do you know what happened there, and I will say " oh yeah I read it today on VJ"

LOL I get that a lot too from everyone in the states when I'm there visiting. I dont say it either and when I hear someone from Canada saying it all the time, it sounds really funny. And I don't say "aboot" I say "about".

Mary

Can't wait to hear how it went! Mucho Congrats!!!!

So he gets home from work and something isn't done and he believes, or you say you've been on VJ? Then he assumes you spend too much time on VJ to do your "work"? Hmmm

Carla

Well, I am an honest person, so I tell him when I spend too much time on VJ

Thing is, since I don't work yet, I took everything on me saying since he is working, I am the one that should take care of everything at home, cleaning, cooking, paying bills, etc while looking for a job. Then when I have my depressed days cause nothing is working for me I "evade" by reading and browsing on the web, then when he comes back home I have only few things done. Then he wants to help me cause he feels bad that I am depressed and being the sweet husband that he is wants nothing more than helping me to take a weight off my shoulders... Then I feel that I am not a good wife because I said I would take care of it and I didn't.... So that's when he tells me to get off VJ....So I am the bad one there, I take too much on me sometimes and get pissed when it doesn't happened the way I wanted it to be

Yeah I know, I am such a girl
