We have set a record with 4 consecutive posts of only Sunday's Official and Wednesday's Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Jokes: =========================================== FRAMED FOR SUCCESS An attorney called and asked to speak to his client, a wealthy art collector. He said, "Matt, I have some good news and I have some bad news." The art collector replied, "You know, I've had an absolutely rotten day, Jack, so let's hear the good news first." The lawyer said, "I met with your wife today, and she informed me that she has invested only $5,000 in two very nice pictures that she thinks will bring somewhere between 15 to 20 million dollars, and I think she might be right." Matt perked up and replied, "Amazing! My wife is such a brilliant businesswoman, isn't she? You've just made my day. Now, I know I can handle the bad news. What is it?" "The pictures are of you and your secretary."

Thread is shifted from the CR-1 Case Progress subforum to the CR-1 Process forum.

Family holidays would be great if it weren't for the people, si man.

There you go, Bill -- find the cheapest place.

You must feel great, and rightfully so!

OK; may well be. When Mrs. T-B.-to-be was short on a couple of shots, the county clinic added them to her existing list of vaccines, and the civil surgeon accepted it. Follow whatever your instructions say to do.

You're welcome. The video from the immigration lawyer is especially edifying.

Thrilling Tuesday report, see man: Awakened by shoulder again, man. Had fizzicle therapy at o'dark-Many, barely prepped ourself before FT lady arrived man. FT lady perceives spazzed deltoid and possibly mad subdeltoid bursa, oh great man. She dry-needled/electrically stimulated us, has always helped before but see below man. Wants us to apply diclofenac gel 1%, applicable to we man man. She also unhosed our back, quite an improvement there man. We had a coupon for Many% off at a nearby Chinese buffet, about to expire man. We went for lunch (encompassing breakfast & din-din), si man. This isn't a self-serve buffet with steam tables, no man. You tell them what menu item, and they make/serve it, all one can eat man. We got there at half an hour before noon, good arrival time man. Verrrrry cute Chinese waitress (born/raised on Long Island) was ours, calm down Bro G man. We ordered chunk steak + onions and beef skewers, double-order we man. We eventually consumed Many (2+2+1) -- si man, Many (2+2+1) -- servings of each, ingest we man. However, this process took nearly 2 hours, restaurant slammed with customers man. The place was Many/Many'ths -- perhaps even Many/Many'ths -- full for Tuesday lunch, amazing man. Cute waitress was adeptly racing all over the place to serve demanding customers, oh well man. The owner & wife were even assisting the wait & kitchen staff, that hectic man. We couldn't continue getting acquainted with cute waitress, sigh man. And we doubt being willing to go back unless there's another coupon, F$WM. Regardless, there were Many (2+1) pieces of good news, see man: 1. The food was outstanding, excellent man. 2. We ingested far, far more in the value of the food than what we paid for it, F$WM. Many. Achieving (2.) is the optimal goal in attending any buffet, F$WM. Serviced expectant miu, service expectant miu we man. Attempted a siesta, zzz we man. Siesta truncated by shoulder pain, man. We texted FT lady, consult we man she man man. She recommended ice or heat after needling of sensitive area, recommend she man man. We iced it, we'll see what happens man. Throughout all this, Mama T-B. kept texting/calling with orders and commands, active senior she man man. All must be done to her satisfaction, not normal people's satisfaction, man. We now have approximately Many hours -- si man, Many hours -- of all this, man. So much for attending to our own stuff that she also yells about our neglecting, man. No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man. Must visit Mama T-B. on Wednesday, caddy all pills that she wouldn't let us caddy on Monday man. We hope for no need for prohibited HSM tonight, sigh man. And that was/is our thrilling Tuesday, report we man.

Begin drinking immediately and heavily, si and sigh and hic man. See also Thanksgiving thread in Current Events forum, see man.

In regard to the latest posts above, we have a parallel thread in the Current Events forum: It's preferable to keep all such conversation in a single thread, so let's take this discussion over there, please.

Bill, if your area has the equivalent of a county health clinic, see if the vaccine is available there. If yes, it should be even cheaper than at Costco.

So if one is stingy with the cheese, it means war?

Let's post our Thanksgiving 2025 travel, family, and dinner plans and experiences here.

Plagiarizing Boiler! Reported!!!!!

She's exceptionally media-savvy, which makes her resignation on a Friday night either completely out of character or part of a grander plan.

Same reason stores charge $9.99 instead of $10.00. The 9/10ths of one cent make gas prices look cheaper.

Better reattain Rhodium status in a hurry.

The interesting Jim Hacking video answers a lot of questions. All of us here are a little bit correct. The takeaway is to remain in status.

Thanks for your efforts and thoughtfulness. People will gain from them.

Yes -- the easiest part of it. Congratulations!

Wonderful! Congratulations!

Aha -- the "change of mind at baggage claim."

"Call a lawyer," perhaps.

VDH calmly barbecues Leftists. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Insurrection Chic Is Jeff Davis the Model? Who is the real, or fictional, inspiration for the new insurrectionary wing of the Democrat Party? The fictitious Hollywood insurrectionist, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, "James Mattoon Scott" (Burt Lancaster), who in the 1964 film Seven Days in May attempted to overthrow the presidency? Or perhaps Jefferson Davis? He ultimately ordered the attack by South Carolina state forces against the federal garrison at Fort Sumter, which ignited the Civil War. Or is the better inspiration the "Stand in the Schoolhouse Door?" Alabama Governor George Wallace likewise vowed to use his state's law enforcement to nullify a federal law. Yet how odd that the left, which had lectured us so often about a January 6th "insurrection"—a charge that not even the Javert-like special counsel Jack Smith ever lodged against Donald Trump—now talks frequently about the proud nullification of our nation's federal laws.

Regarding visa overstays, I wonder what the precise letter of the law is regarding deportability. Makes one wonder whether ICE is under pressure (or order) for numbers, because people visiting USCIS offices are metaphorically low-hanging fruit and probably not who ordinary Americans would prioritize for deportation.
