Then I wish a POX upon him!

He is POX proof!

Jesus christ.

Went to the DMV today with my BC, SSN, CDN passport & I-94, lease with my name on it and comcast bill with my name on it and I GOT F-ING TURNED AWAY CUZ I DON'T HAVE SECONDARY EVIDENCE..

SO WE WENT TO THE COURTHOUSE AND GOT WED SO NOW THEY CAN GO SUCK IT.


TOMORROW.

omg! Well congratulations! I'm not sure what to say because this wasn't what you planned and the DMV people there seem - totally clueless, what more can you give them for heaven's sake!!

sorry...

they just made me mad.

we did have the sweetest old man who did our ceremony..

couldn't have asked for any better

(my palms were sweaty and I was a little weak in the knees.... )

Ya that'll teach those MFers not to give you a drivers license!

CONGRATS!!!!!

thank you

I wasn't able to get my VA drivers licence until I got my NOA from filing AOS.
Even then, it was only good for the term of the NOA (which was a year). So I have to go back in April to renew my DL with my greencard, and then it will only be good for another year and a couple of months. *sigh*

Aww that's nice Well I'm glad that it was kind of lovely for you

((((((((((((((((((((((Liz))))))))))))))))))) So sorry the DMV is giving you a freakin hard time. *sigh* But congratulations on the marriage!

Wow liz, what a crazy situation. Congratulations on your marriage however.

Carla

That made me snort coffee through my nose (an image I'm sure you all wanted to think about this early in the morning---or, not, as the case may be). Congratulations!

Here is my unrelated vent: I HAVE NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT DREAMT OF MY WEDDING DAY SINCE I WAS A LITTLE GIRL, DAMMIT!!! About the closest thing to a wedding I did dream of since fairly early in life was trekking through the Himelayas on my honeymoon. Of course, I have since learned that I am quite prone to altitude sickness from a trip through the Peruvian Andes 6 years ago, plus he won't have his AP yet, so we won't be doing that after all, but if I have to read that phrase one more time I may become psychotic.

I HATE looking for work..

And WHY is it so hard?

Geepers.. I miss my old network of people back in PEI.. There I KNEW where to look and who to talk to.. here I know no one.. This bites.

I am on hold, to see if Husband's titre test is back. I held for 15 minutes originally, then thought they had forgotten me, so hung up and called back - now on 16.5 minutes this go round.

guess they are .... busy.

More gripping reports from being on hold.

I waited 23 minutes then called back, explained to her that I had been on hold for 45 minutes and that I wouldn't be bothering them except we need the results blah blah blah, she was controlled but rude and told me they were very busy.

Then she put me on hold

(said it should only be a minute or two) - going on 6 minutes this time.

*commiserates*

OMG going to barf. Every time I think about the interview my face goes numb.

Being on hold is one of my pet peeves so I am right there with you guys. I love companies who have to put you on hold like 15 times to update your address.

the DMV finally issued me state Id..

but guess what. IT'S ONLY VALID FOR A MONTH AND 3 DAYS..

they used the date on the I-94 as my expiry date so apparently I have to do all this again in a few weeks

We spent 3 hrs today and an hour yesterday just to get the stupid card to find out at the end of it being issued that it was a complete waste of time!

Sigh.

So once I file, the NOA1 will get me another one that will be valid for a reasonable amount of time? SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS TRUE OF I MIGHT SCREAM.

good luck bradcanuck!

And ur drivers license wil only be valid for how ever long ur legally allowed to be here!! Pain in the butt! Luckliy it is prorated!! I forgot mine had expired, and drove around for over a month on an expired one!! Luckily the guy at the Liquor store noticed,lol

I have noticed that a lot of people with the conditional green card get a DL that expires when the card does... but mine didn't and I still have a few years left on it...

varies from state to state!! Im in VA, so is Liz.

It will also only be good for a year from the date that your NOA1 was issued. My NOA1 was issued on April 16, 2007, and my VA licence expires on April 16, 2008.

Same will happen when you get your green card. When your licence expires, it will expire 2 years from when it was issued. So my GC was June 19, 2007...my VA licence (when I get the new one in April) will expire on June 19, 2009.

Awww Liz .... sorry about all the bulls**t you are having to deal with .... but congrats on your marriage!!!

Anyone interested in a follow up to the titre test story - I knowww you are.

So Husband goes to the clinic tonight to pick up the results. The woman did finally talk to me today after I had been on hold for around 50-55 minutes. She looked at it and mumbled as she was reading it and she said 'yes, all looks fine, the Dr. has looked at it'.

I said, well - yes, it's just for immunity so that's good blah blah blah, can he come and pick up a copy tonight. She said 'yes, as long as he does it before 8:00'. All good.....

So he gets there - A. It can only be 'released' by the Dr. who ordered it and he isn't in tonight and B. The results aren't back yet anyway. WHAT!!

So he can go back tomorrow (I think that will be visit 6?) at 8:45 am and they will call the lab.

Some people are expected to show up for work occasionally. whatever. I now realize that when I was talking to her (and she obviously wasn't listening), that she was only looking at the request - not the returned test)

For the love of God.

Yeah! His medical is tomorrow afternoon btw, hence wanting the stuff today, I mean really. Not sure what happens when you show up without your titre - he isn't really worried about getting immunizations - he just doesn't really want a bunch of junk he has already had.

I have to vent!!!!!!!!!

I felt so bad yesterday at work.

I was covering an employee's break in returns and some guy brought back a toilet seat. It had been used!!!!

What happened was previously, someone had bought a toilet seat and put their OLD toilet seat in the new box, returned it and got their new one for free!!! PEOPLE ARE MESSED UP!!!!

Whoever was working in returns that day didn't check inside the box and it was put back on the shelf!!!

There were no parts in the box, no instructions and the seat had crap on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was mortified. Luckily the customer thought it was grossly funny. He went and bought a new toilet seat and I checked it out personally before he purchased it!!!

That is theft! I want to track down the previous transaction!!!

I think Derekkj was out ur way not that long ago, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

That post made up for all the Leaf bashing.

Hey now! I plead the fifth.



Here's one for you then...

News Report from Toronto

Toronto (AP) - A seven-year old boy was at the center of a courtroom
drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should
have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his
parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in
keeping with child custody law and regulation requiring that family
unity be maintained to the highest degree possible. The boy
surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more
than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the
judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy
cried and said that they also beat him. After considering the
remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic
violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the
unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have
custody of him. After two recesses to check legal references and
confer with the child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary
custody to the Toronto Maple Leafs, whom the boy firmly believes are
not capable of beating anyone.

I am such an idiot. I totally believed this story until the last sentence. Click to view attachment

Haha, I saw the same joke a few months ago, only the little boy wanted to be placed with the St Louis Rams because they never beat anyone. I believed it until the last line too.

Returning a used toilet seat...that's just...well, eeeeuuuuww!!!

So did I! Sheesh...I feel so stoooopid.

I can't even comment on the toilet seat return, it's just too - gross.

damn, I have like 45 posts today!! I should be studying!! lol

Oh good God. I'm at 75!!!!

77!!!!!

Oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! 78!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lmao stop stop!

How do you check how many you've had?

NVM! I'm in the top 20 with 30 posts!! YAY! LOL

I'm not anywhere near you though!!! Good job!!!

OMG I saw the most beautiful bed set when I went out with my mom this afternoon. I think I'm going to buy it for Nick and I. I'm in love with it. I'm going to take some pictures of it to show Nick and I'll post them here too.
I can't wait to decorate!!!

Oh cool! I love decorating pics! Let me see if I can find mine.

please do!!!! I can't wait to see them!!!
*we should move this out of the vent thread, cause we are kind of too happy for the vent thread *

Ooooo...decorating! Another of my favourites! Here's some pics of our Living Room...all finished. The the large entertainment armoire and tv were given to us...all we had to do is pick it up. The rest was already ours. My MOH (my best girlfriend for ages) came over and helped me arrange stuff. Sometimes I think it's easier to see furniture placement when it's someone else's house. I didn't have a clue how to arrange my own home *sigh* Anywho...I'm rather proud of it all. Now to get our bedroom done. I'm thinking of a wall canopy...not the over the bed kind, but the kind that looks like a curtain behind the bed. Then the office...Anna's bedroom...the kitchen.

That made me LOL while my husband was talking to me (seriously) on the phone and I was pretending I was listening. Ooops.

Wow. You scored a great deal! I love the colour green. And look! You even have a doilly!!!

I'll open a home decorating thread. Laura's right. We're having way too much fun for a vent thread.

I don't suppose one could move a post to another thread?

Karen I did a copy and paste from your post to the other thread but it looks like it's my post instead of yours. Can you do that instead?

How long does it take to approve an EI application????????????????????????

waaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
