I still poke in now and again. Have been busy back and forth to the UK for work so mostly too jetlagged to do anything constructive. I've been eligible to apply for citizenship since August and not got around to it yet. Since then there just doesn't seem the urge. I wonder why... :huh:

We're coming up to our 10 year anni of meeting next January, and 4 years wed next May. Have no friggin idea where the time goes. In a year or so we'll be turning back around and moving back to Europe. Scares the poop outta me to go through it all again!

Get your USC before you go!!! :yes:

Well, I'm hardly going to leave without it. :no:

I pop in now and again when I get a chance. We just had our first wedding anniversary, we had planned on going to New York, but we are now in the process of buying our first house together, so any extra funds have just evaporated.

I also just started a new job, doing more stuff that I was doing in the UK and finally getting the wage that I wanted. For the past 8 months I was running the IT network of a small manufacturing company, I had to take what I could at the time. Now I am getting calls from headhunters every other day. I say it has taken me about a year to get to where I wanted to.

Still to make and real friends, more just people that I am friendly with, but hopefully that will change with my new job. All in all wouldnt change it for anything, well except the extra weight I have put on since being here (on a diet and going to the gym at the moment.)

I disappeared for a few months because the cafe had just opened but now things are calming down I have time to check this place out again. I love all the people on here and it's always great fun to read the posts. I try to post as often as I can but sometimes I just can't come up with a reply cos I get pulled away from the computer mid reply and then forget what I was typing when I come back. I'm going to try and plan a VJ outdoor picnic type get together in the spring here in Indiana. It will be in the middle of nowhere so hopefully many people will be able to make it to such an obscure location. I'll keep people up to date when I come up with a date and such.

Life is a ticket to the greatest show on earth.

I'm still alive, if anyone remembers me. We moved from SLC to Southern California a few months ago. So I've been pretty busy adjusting to that. It's near impossible to find work that pays half-decently here.

heya!

where in SoCal are you? Robinklake & I are in LALA....we could have drinkies!

Devilette, we're pretty close. We're living out in Chino, which the little notch of San Bernadino county, with Orange, LA and Riverside county all bordering on it. :)

I'd love to meet up with you guys! :)

Im still around and popping my head in from time to time - infact I am still here in the UK!! Desperately trying to sell my house as I need to do this for me to move! I finally have a buyer but the solicitors are taking their time or there is some communication problems - I was expecting to complete on 5th November but that aint happening as the buyers solicitors were doing the searches and now I am told today that some of the searches have come thru but they are waiting on 2 other searches - this totally confused me I mean how many searches does the buyers solicitor do???

Anyways I guess I have to wait till next wednesday to find out what the situation is and when will we have an exchange/complete date so I can get my money and pay fro my tickets and the cats and the shipping and make my last minute eye tests - new glasses - docs appointments for meds etc ya know all the usual stuff lol

My visa expires on 27 December so I am really stressing out right now!!! I do know I can apply for an extension but only if i cant use it in time because of circumstances beyond my control I guess if the sale dont go thru then that is beyond my control (fingers crossed)

really stressed out Lina

Sorta.

Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. ####### coated bastards with ####### filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive bobble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine.
