Channah & Aaron, ... I like all that stuff about your relationship!

You two are too kewl!

Very similar to the way Aury and I look at ourselves.

Except,... we won't be having (more/our own) children together.

I'm thankful that........Even though we're still awaiting the NOA2,I have the confidence we'll be together ever after, come Valentine's Day 2012! We both want to get married on that day. yeah, yeah! I can hear all the girls giving me the business now, about 'saving a holiday'. Right on! But, what a great day to consumate your relationship! Don'tcha think???

Look I understand that all of you want to be happy and positive, but this does not keep me entertained, nor does it allow me to provide you feedback as to how you can correct you problem.

You have to understand that human beings need to feel that their life is better than someone else’s, or they start to get depressed. Also going on how you love him or he loves you and all that ####### is really not that interesting. Please give me some drama or comedy, maybe some action. Life is not a fairy tale, its a struggle.

If you are going to tell me about your life tell me what you are going through. Some of you say you gained 18 pounds. Wow that’s a lot!!! How has this affected your relationship, health and so on.

If you’re in AOS, how has this changed your life? Your spouse is currently not working and being totally dependent you, how does that feel. If you are a women, do you feel subservient since you are staying home, or if you come from a country with little or no women’s rights, have you found the new gained freedoms refreshing. If you are a man how has this changed your masculinity, have you become the super dad, that wakes up in the morning makes your wife coffee, takes care of the kids, and then cooks dinner for her when she comes home from work.

In the restrictions lift or citizen process phase, tell me how you or your spouse relationship changed from start to now. Are the culture differences still there? How has the house dynamics changed, what new issues do you face.

In the end give me the drama, and the pain and leave the fantasy out. I need that 5 min of entertainment during work.

This post is about sharing happiness. If you want dramas, comedy, or life changes events.. then this is the link for you Link

So, you probably don't have anything good in life? What a shame that you can't be as happy as most of us are, or maybe not really a shame. It has to be real depressing to come to an online community to look for more drama than life already is, how do you sleep at night?

I'm "sorry" I can't give you entertainment, because instead of complaining about the struggles, I'm thankful about the blessing I have. The link it was given to you it's the proper place to you, here's definitely the wrong place. In the end, just stay quiet, and I really don't think anyone is here to please YOU and YOUR entertainment. There's nothing to look here, keep moving kid.

That is not fair to say. I have a lot of good in my life and am very pleased with my life. I am sorry if I offended you in some way, it was not my point. I am glad someone pointed out a link where I can read others adventures after they moved here. However to say that I am not as happy as you or other is a false statement. You cannot say that you come here on a daily or weekly basis to read just people's joys of visa processes. I would assume you come to VJ because you, I and all others have a common intreats. You also want to help and share your frustrations in this whole process. But what keeps you coming back? This is not your full time job, nor is it a duty that you owe to all here. It is because you also find this entertaining.

To say that this is forum is a place of happiness, and blessing is a lie, it a forum of life that binds cultures, religion, it share our fears, frustration, our comedies and even our happiness. Also if you don't find misery or drama entertaining then what is life worth living for? Misery brings us happiness, it teaches us, it binds us, it puts us on the right path. How else am I to learn if I don't fail or others do not fail. With out drama and unhappiness we would not have Shakespeare, football (American), enterprise, and democracy.

To say you never complain or struggle in life, then you would not need VJ. It is also to say we would not have singers, writers, poets, directors, and so on.

Lastly you ask me to be quite, and I ask you why? Is it my place in a forum to voice my opinion? Is this a country not built on freedom of speach. I was born in a communist country and know what it is like to not have freedom of speach.

Lastly my sleep is very sound.
