ya falaha!

Kindly provide a phone number for a pizza place near her.

:wave: See you next week then. Can you bring pizza on the way back?

I hope you feel better soon.

still eating broth and ensure. have a test on tuesday. my mood leaves a lot to be desired. hope everyone has a good friday and weekend.

Morning guys and thanks to all who added me onto their Facebook accounts.

wohooo

Um excuse me, can you recap dishwashers for me? Hurry up with that or I'll bump this b!tch to death.

ohai, can someone wash my dishes for me? I did my nails and don't want to ruin them, knonthxbai

silly that's what dishwashers are for.

no need to thank me, that was free advice, gladly given.

I the both of you. And len, too, of course.

You guys make me laugh all day.

Boy this woman just doesn't get it. I wasn't looking for a thank you from my response. I was trying to point out the fact that she doesn't thank ppl who actually do help her. BTW, I know how magic jack works. I wasn't gonna "recap" it. Annie already suggested she do a search on it here and she flat out ignored her. Annie then very nicely googled it and gave her links and she got nasty. Apparently she can't click on links either.

My guess would be that maybe she wants someone to purchase the magic jack for her, unwrap it out of it's box/case, take it to her home and show her step by step how it works (without even bothering to quickly read through the instructions).

Then after you have taken the time to assist you will leave her home without even a "thanks".

Hey, will you do that for me? I promise NOT to thank you.

If you don't thank me i'll remove you from my FB. Then you can look me up a month later and request ME back!

Wait I don't have you on FB.

Thanks, New Beginnings, I like yours as well.

Sister Astarte is loving and helpful.

Well said.

I want to add about your comments re: someone having a bad day or just a jerk in general. Many of us here who may seem "jerky" are actually really cool, lovely ppl. Not having a bad day, not having a bad life, not in a bad mood but perhaps have low tolerance for certain behaviors. Certain ppl rub me the wrong way. I like lots of ppl around here and act accordingly. I don't like some ppl and most of the time I just don't respond to their posts. When someone comes along behaving like the OP behaves it pisses me off. I get a warm, fuzzy feeling when I'm able to help someone but when it's obvious that someone doesn't even bother to do *any* leg work of their own, well that's just laziness. Instead of wanting ppl to lay everything on your lap perhaps ask, where can *I* find such and such info? I'm obviously not alone in my thinking here. There are many forums here, guides, archives, etc. Do a little poking around, if you can't find what you're looking for ask. Also, like many others I went through my VJ awhile ago. Things have changed with paperwork, requirements and procedures. But I can give advice about interview stuff, adjustment in the US stuff, etc. Sometimes it's the delivery. I know I can be short with ppl or straight forward and it comes off as b!tchy. Ppl should maybe be adults about this. We are a bunch of ppl with different lives, different situations and different personalities.

I don't know, maybe this is just my cynical side... but to me posts like this seem like a way to get people to try to change your mind to try to get you to stay so that you feel wanted.

VJ is a give/take relationship. The people that take the time out of their busy schedule.. between work, school, family, friends, their own immigration situation.. deserve to be thanked for their contribution and willingness to help you. IMO.. if you have time to read the response, you have time to put a nice Thank You! post on the thread.

Also, I remember feeling a little offended by some posts in the beginning because they weren't wrapped nicely in "warm fuzzies" (nice, gentle comments). A lot of time they're the straight fact and you have a choice to either accept what people say, or not accept it. In fact, that's also true in life. Most people don't keep your feelings and emotions in mind, if someone says something that bothers you... it is your choice on how to react to it. You can either accept it as someone just having a bad day or that maybe they're just a jerk in general or you can choose to give it power over your life.

I often take the route of not giving it power to change my life. But being a girl.... I sometimes let things bother me

All this being said, it's your decision if you want to leave and not use a valuable tool that is free to you. If you feel you have a great handle on this than go for it. Thankfully VJ members are not vindictive people so if you ever do need to come back, you would be welcomed with open arms. Make the decision that's right for you.

Cute! I love the new pic of Ayah. So sweet! Oliver will make a very dashing Jacob Black.

i made a werewolf costume for oliver, like jacob black from new moon . and ayah picked out a unicorn costume. she has glittery shoes to wear with it, and i'll put lots of glitter on her sweet little cheeks.

I saw that costume! Cute!!!!

Zaid is going to be a lil monkey. I got it from Old Navy, Its super warm and has a lil banana hangin from the pocket

You ppl are killing me with the cute baby costumes! I can't wait to see these two dolls (and Angus) in their costumes.

Nour and Zain will be Pebbles and BamBam...and Angus is Dino (provided he lets us put on his dino hat! LOL)

I love mine, too! And I don't throw hissies and delete ppl then expect *them* to add *me* back. Unbelievable. What is this her second day back on VJ and she's already actin' a fool?

You are adorable, Rosalva.

I like all of you. I am Rosalva Mezouari on FB.

Yeah international calling is not cheap. I've paid around that to call Egypt once or twice. It was important, I didn't have a calling card. It hurts to talk for 5 mins and pay like $25. Sheesh for $25 worth of calling cards I coulda talked for like 5 hours.

Distasteful and unappreciative.

M's "wife", you create thread after thread asking questions that could be answered if you'd do just a little digging on the site yourself. After the question is answered you bolt. You don't acknowledge the ppl who have kindly answered your question. So you want everyone here to do your dirty work but you don't even say as much as a thank you or hey you really helped me...thanks. You DEMAND answers and when you don't get those answers you post ####### about wolf packs and bullies. I'm an adult woman. I have no issues from childhood. I am not a bully. Actually I'm a very pleasant person *if* I like you. I bend over backwards to help ppl on a daily basis with a big smile on my face. Do you know what I have issue with? Laziness and poor manners. Although this is a site for adults I'm not allowed to say words like "lazy" because that would constitute a personal attack. Do you know what else constitutes a personal attack? Telling ppl to have manners. Manners like saying "please" and "thank you". Also, a personal attack is telling someone to use google. I don't understand this. It's ok for this woman to come here calling ppl names like "wolf pack" or "bully" or judging the status of one's hormones. But when you suggest that she look things up on her own you are accused of attacking. Woman, you should look in the mirror next time you question someone's maturity if you're going to throw around the words..."wolf pack" or "bully".

maybe she means in terms of you? because as it stands now, if i knew the answers to yr questions, i wouldn't bother posting anything. and it's not just me, there are plenty of others who wouldn't bother to go out of their way to help you because of yr distasteful disposition either. you've managed to annoy a lot of people here, in a very short period of time.

Betsy that's so exciting! Like Angie, I can totally remember how I felt the day my husband arrived. I remember being at the nail salon with a gf in the mid afternoon when my phone rang and it was him calling from JFK. I was so geeked! He borrowed someone's cell phone to call me so I knew he was ok. Gosh that whole day was like a dream. I wish you and your husband all the best for a wonderful reunion.

That's a really sweet gesture, Staashi.

We send money to Argentina to pay for my In-laws health insurance costs - about $60 a month. I also like to add about $20 to $40 extra so that my MIL can buy something nice for herself, or treat them to a nice meal. It's small but significant.

I agree with Annie. Just sending money to send it, no. If there's a problem of some kind, yes.

My husband has sent quite a bit of money to his family the past few months because of his father's illness and subsequent death. The medicine and treatment for the illness was quite expensive. At the end, he sent money in order for his family to prepare for the burial. Prior to his father's illness, he only sent money one other time as a gift to his sister for her wedding.

I don't buy this ####### about sending money to "set up a home" back home. You can't save money here and buy the home together at another time? I dunno, it's suspect to me.

How about you google "magic jack"? How did my immigrant husband navigate his way to the store, ask questions, buy a magic jack and send it to Egypt all without anyone's help and you can't even google it?

On top of it all, no one gets as much as a thank you from you once you've gotten your answers.

OH and before you say anything about the state of my hormones...they're ship shape. I'm a younger woman haven't gone through the change yet.

Can someone do a recap of the MagicJack with me again? I read it a while back, but making sure I understand it completely before I buy it. Im thinking of sending one to my fiance in the next week or so. Someone told me that when I get the majicjack to set it up with a U.S. local phone number. 1. Can I choose the number myself? And so when I send it to him he can call me by just dialing (example) 318-555-5555 and thats it???? It is that simple? Im thinking ahead of time, of him being approved and giving it to his family so they can call him anytime. So if they can call him here in the U.S., and the call a cell number,.... there are NO fees that his family would pay by calling a cell number? Just want to make sure.. know we been over this before but I swear I have the memory of a gnat!

Nice to hear from you, Janine! I'm glad to hear everything is going great for you guys!

Damn time sure flies. I remember first reading this thread thinking...that's weeks from now. Hopefully the next 10 days will wiz by for you!

I appreciate your honesty, Sara. We've had those not sure we're gonna make it moments, too. We've been together 5 yrs, married nearly 4. We still have ups and downs, but don't all marriages? Or at least most? I thought the "visa journey" was the worst but never expected that living day to day life would actually be the most difficult. I laugh now when I remember myself back in those "vj" days. What a wuss I was!

I have no real advice to give as what works for us may not work for anyone else. I will say that an open line of communication is real important. Also, lots of understanding on both ends. Some common interests help. I know this is TMI but an active/exciting sex life doesn't hurt either.

I'm not going to list out all our ups and downs but I am with Moody on this one, it was more like 2 years for us to settle in and work out the kinks. the rough times were rough, I wont sugar coat it, and I wasnt always sure we would make it, but right now we are one month away from our 5th anniversary. So those of you who find the adjustment period MUCH harder than you expected, take heart

Cute! Must be something in the air. The old man and I were reminiscing over our years together yesterday. We talked about the old times, new times, future and how we've both "grown up" over the years.

Good morning Ladies I have one more day of work, then Im free for 2 1/2 days!!! Last night, Adam and I were reminiscing over our 4 yrs together. Sweet moments, funny times, crazy times

Yikes! I so don't miss those days. Is he usually a good sleeper? Neither of my boys slept through the night until they were over a year old.

Mornin' - I iz sleepy. Enzo woke up at 2:56 am.

Betsy, I hope you feel better now. It's so exciting that your husband is coming tomorrow! I know how nervous/excited you must be. Good thoughts coming your way and his for a safe flight.

Aimen will be Master Chief from Halo. My mom bought him this elaborate costume that she has to alter since it's a man's small and my boy is a little dude. Zayd will probably wear a mask of some sort since as of last year, he's "too old" for this. Haha. Too old to dress up but not too old to beg for candy. This may be our last year out. They are both getting kinda old for this.

Perhaps she meant when did he start telling you he loves you or talking about getting engaged/married. She probably wanted to get a feel for how fast he went with this relationship. According to the timeline in your signature, it didn't take him very long to talk about marriage. Did the CO know this?
