It has been such a long time since I've logged in and posted here, I don't know many of you anymore.

I wanted to post and let people know that we are also "removing conditions". Actually we can officially mail our papers in Monday (90days before the expiration) and so my weekend involves nothing but the I-751. I am not worried about the actual form and evidence. I'm only worried because we moved states in February and that also meant moving service centers. We changed our address but I'm just not convinced they got it right. They sent me confirmation as the sponsor, but nothing to Henry. I called and of course they wouldn't tell me anything other than make an infopass appt. (which is in Charlotte, 2 hours away). So, needless to say, we're mailing our documents to the TSC (unfortunately) and praying that our little file isn't still sitting in VT or Boston.

I will try to be around more if anyone has questions and I'll keep my signature updated.

Rhonda, let me know how yours goes...

Have a wonderful weekend.

Hey, it's great to hear from you. I was just thinking of you and Henry the other day. How's life in NC?

You ladies talk too much!! :blink: There's almost 100 pages for me to catch up on..... :whistle:

Minfey is early next year. And, I will be doing it in August of next year. Well, actually, I am #######, so I have already started researching and collecting evidence...dotting all my i's and all that.

Sorry Jomo -- I get the ####### AWARD!! :wacko: We don't have to file until next April and I started collecting stuff right after we got the GC.......I already have a stack that's over 100 pages......:lol::whistle:

I was just reading this article in one of those "woman's" magazines yesterday....I will post what it is when I get home. They had a bunch of "at home" jobs you can do. It looked really interesting <<mostly computer type jobs>>

Wow...well I see this post is ever growing and still going strong. Almost 600 pages and this must be like the 4th installment.

I never thought it would have grown so much over the last two years when I started it. I'm glad that it has become a place for all yankee/yardie couples to meet, chat, share advice and support one another. I know I've been really bad about coming in to visit but life has totally gotten in the way. There was a time that I was so engulfed by the immigration process that I guess once it was over it was nice to take a break. But don't think for a second that you all are not in my thoughts and prayers. I have a bit of news to share, Squito and I are expecting our first child in April. I guess another one bit the dust huh, lol. I remember when Rhonda had me at the top of the baby list. We should've put some money on it because look at how many others got knocked before I did, lol. Anyway, just stopping by to check in and say hello. Hope everyone is doing well.

xo,

Mooma Squitto

So as far as how you would like to raise your kids, you may just have to compromise and in some ways raise them the way he would like also.

Its all about respect and understanding of one anothers culture in the end. (L)

:yes: I know one of the "issues" my friend had when they had their baby was that he wanted to pierce her ears immediately after baby was born and she was totally against the idea. I guess it's very typical for little babies to get ears pierced in JA right away. Well, it was a big argument and they didn't do it. Now the baby is over 2 yrs. old and she wishes she would have gotten them done when she was a baby! Now she's at the age where she'll play with them or pull them out etc..

What do you ladies think? Since I'm having a girl, I'm sure this is going to come up soon in my house!

I don't know why there's a rush, yes it looks very cute...but, having to clean them everyday, make sure she doesn't pull them out, get stuck in something, lose them, swallow them, etc etc. I personally would wait until she was old enough to be able to take care of them herself. I wasn't "allowed" to get my ears pierced until I was in the 8th grade....my 1st pair.

With the circumcision.....since I was on assistance then and didn't get "approved" when my son was born, he was 18 days old !! It was crazy, he made no noise until they moved him from the warm table to the cold table.

Hmmm, well I'm totally fine with piercing my daughters ears when she is a baby but as far as the boys and circumcision thing.....I don't think I'll do that. I mean is there a medical necessity for it? What is the point? And actually as the boy gets older and becomes a "man", isn't it better for him to be uncircumcised? There's less chaffing that way as I understand.....but heck I'm no man so I really don't know. I just don't know what the point of circumcision is. I guess when I have kids I'll understand it more.

Marlita;

Circumcision is not medically necessary but it is considered hygienic. The foreskin can harbour germs if the "owner" (LOL) not take proper care and clean it properly. the foreskin can also become tight and when the person has an erection the foreskin does not roll back and causes discomfort and pain for them.

LAWD Clairey...TMI!!! :lol::lol: ...just the thought makes mi squirm...and I'm not even a man. But, good to know anyway!

Bless,

Gill
