Addressing possible red flags in i-130 -- EGYPT

[elmcitymaven 9,711]

Yeah when I'm not bragging I always fill everyone in on every minute detail. Your subtlety is stunning.

Waiting for the you're just jealous retort in 3, 2, 1.....

It did read a little like one of those nauseating Christmas letters: "Johnny continues to outpace every member of his first grade class. Why, you should hear how he can recite 'The Waste Land' from memory! Thomasina knitted whimsical scarves for all the cats down at the shelter, and is now making cash money selling them on Etsy. That she can do this while maintaining a perfect A average, volunteering every spare hour teaching urban youth how to make Brussels lace, and captaining the field hockey AND girls' volleyball team is testament to her can-do spirit! Peter and I continue to be our old boring selves, though we took time to sail our schooner down to the Bahamas, where we distributed home-canned cranberry sauce to the poor and I donated a few of my less-edgy Commes des Garcons pieces."

Hahaha! It totally did!

I couldn't get my Chromebook to do the cedille, which was a bummer.

[sandinista! 1,816]

Cedilles are 2/3 the fun!

What do you mean that you don't understand the American Queen staying home to take care of the Egyptian King?? Are you sure you're married to someone from MENA??

Bwwahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

I don't understand buying cars, houses, having the 'lil woman' stay at home when there's no money put away for food and gas. Especially with kids in the home, but hey...maybe the kids like pancakes.

Glad to hear it all worked out for you Amber!

Who's up for IHOP?????

[Ihavequestions 419]

Glad to see that a representative from the Rainbow, Puppies and Lollipops club finally showed up!!!!! I was getting worried!!!!!

Those of us who live in it, day after day, know what "accounting degree" and "brother is a bus driver" translates to in terms of Egypt's class system.

*cough*

Well, well, well someone needs to clear their throat! My, my, my! Anyhoo my husband has a degree in Finance. His brother actually works for a firm out of Dubai. They both worked hard and earned their success! So the heck what if his brother was a bus driver when he was 20, you can bet your sweet ####### he isn't anymore! As far as class goes, well they have way more class than those that would sit on their miserable arses hoping to hurt and insult those higher than them. Seriously I'm sorry if your husbands aren't praise worthy, but no need to come down on mine and his family. You ladies need to get a life and stop circling these boards looking for someone to pounce on. Your never gonna get to me, I'm much stronger than you can ever hope to be. I'm still going to carry on with my beautiful life and leave you little ladies to search for fresh blood. You cannot even get on my level. Keep trying, hey everybody needs a goal! LMBO!

ENOUGH WASTING MY TIME WITH YOU PEOPLE, DO YOU HONESTLY THINK I WASNT PREPARED FOR YOUR VERBAL ATTACK? PATHETIC! I WILL NOT POST AGAIN AND LOWER MY STANDARDS ARGUING WITH YOU PEOPLE ON THIS TOPIC. GOODNIGHT AND ENJOY YOUR MISERABLE LIVES! IM HAPPY!

I thought you had better things to do than to argue on an Internet forum. It's great that you're happy. You shouldn't need to constantly remind yourself and everyone else. You should simply enjoy and bask in it.

[elmcitymaven 9,711]

Golly. That was... energetic at the end.

[Mithra 1,185]

She's passionate about reminding everyone that she's happy.

Nope. I just know how it shakes out in real life instead of two week vacation relations.

Accounting degree? Bottom of the barrel as far as Egyptian degrees go. Meaning, broke dude. Bus driver? Broke dude. The only highlite of this fantasy is the possibility the fam has shoes.

I am kindof wondering, though, if fantasy man had a job, flat, and car, where was the wife or fiancee in the picture?

[Mithra 1,185]

Whatevs. You're miserable and she's happy. Happy dammit!!!!!!

Did I mention she's happy?

I'm rather happy she's not going to post again.

Although she probably will.

I really don't wanna brag, and I know there are a lot of haters out there...but who cares...here's my story....

We drive a 2011 Nissan Rogue S, with a light gray interior which we keep imaculately clean by using 2 rounds of "$1 for 5 minutes" of vaccuming at a local car wash that costs $12 a wash, but we spare no expense because we love each other so much.

We live in my parents Basement and enjoy 3 full rooms, a double shower bathroom and a living room, all decorated to my parent's taste, which shows just how much we love each other.

Sometimes my husband drives my parents spare car, a 1999 Mercury Villager Sport Edition. It doesn't have a working clock but it does have a leather interior which of course shows how much we love each other.

Once a week we get a take and bake pizza from Papa Murphys, half Chicken Garlic and half "Papa's favorite" minus the pepperoni. Then we cook it in a Double Wolf Convect oven that belongs to my parents, and then we eat our pizza using sturdy DIXIE paper plates because we love each other so much.

Sometime we go to the mall and I buy new shirts at Maurices that cost an average of $29.99 which of course proves we are so blissfully in love.

Yesterday we bought a HeatDish space heater by PRESTO, for $24.99, to help keep our basement bedroom warm. We paid cash which of course proves we are so blissfully in love.

The point is, I am not not bragging and don't want to make anyone jealous, but sometimes you just have to convince others in order to really convince yourself how blissfully wonderous your life is. To the OP - be strong, stay the course, a thousand points of light, and maybe someday your marriage will be as blissfully perfect as mine. Good luck Girlfriend.
