People have power.

Vote with your dollar....

...by not spending it for a while.

Can you do it?

Can you flex your consumeristic muscle by not using it?

Do them with enthusiasm!!

Don't just do something. Sit there.

I could; but then I couldn't go to work either.

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip

Now that would be challenging.

Is it completely impossible??

what if I have two cars and don't drive one of them for a week?

You would work well in a communist society Amby.

:lol:

I take public transit for pretty much everything. Except maybe to go to nearby towns to do the tourist thing. Bren also takes public transit so our car really doesn't get used. I think the car is considering suicide since its life is really empty :lol:

well I'd spend a LOT more on groceries, my husband couldn't get to work (ya, it is impossible, no one to carpool with and no public transportation) I'd have a REALLY hard time getting to school and we couldn't get any of our important stuff done (banking, paperwork for our house etc) BUT once we move, all this will change! It will be so nice to carpool to school, my husband can jog to work and there's a good grocery store within a 5 minute walk and a costco within 15!

Keep in mind there's virtually NO public transportation (thats reliable at least) in large parts of the midwest.

it would be here, aside from the heat and the humidity (it's somewhat cool here today and its 80f with 80% humidity) which would make you turn up to work sweating like a pig, there are NO sidewalks, at all. it would be highly dangerous to do that here, sadly. i miss sidewalks :crying:

If I didn't drive my car for a week I wouldn't be going anywhere. We don't have public transportation where I live. It's impossible for me to carpool because I don't have the same schedule as friends/family going the same place as me. So yeah, I could save money by not driving my car and flex my consumeristic muscle but I'd get fired for missing a week of work. :lol:

Just couldn't stay my @ss away!

I'd ride my motorcycle.

PEOPLE: READ THE APPLICATION FORM INSTRUCTIONS!!!! They have a lot of good information in them! Most of the questions I see on VJ are clearly addressed by the form instructions. Give them a read!! If you are unable to understand the form instructions, I highly recommend hiring someone who does to help you with the process. Our process, from K-1 to Citizenship and U.S. Passport is completed. Good luck with your process.
