I knew it!!!!!

Oh Ken, what wonderful news, and CONGRATULATIONS to you and Mary ! Really, I am so happy for you both and your speedy journey. God bless the two of you!

Well, thank you. Just be aware that I won't leave VJ until all of us have our visa (especially YOU)! And besides, we have the whole green card thing to deal with once she is in the US and we marry. I have many questions about that process, but for now I am celebrating and I rather not think about that. ;)

Thank you, and you SHOULD be celebrating.... as in table surfing!

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

I do remember that, but ask me what I did an hour ago, and Im stymied.

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.
