This is about plain beer, not craft beer, but perhaps interesting in passing: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Goodbye Modelo — Americans Have A New Favorite Beer An effort two decades in the making has finally come to fruition for Anheuser-Busch. Despite being considered a cheap beer to avoid, according to customer reviews (and ranking near the bottom of our own taste test of America's top-selling beers), Michelob Ultra has become king of the hill among beer brands. By topping the sales by volume charts for 2025, it has ousted Modelo Especial as America's best-selling beer. While its lower caloric content certainly appealed to many people, some of Michelob Ultra's success can also be credited to [...] https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/goodbye-modelo-americans-favorite-beer-180106285.html

The Rant Thread. Circa 2013. Continuation thread for: https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/800915-let-sleeping-dogs-rant/ Tell us your gripes, fears, hopes. (And we'll quickly put you down.) Tell us your deepest, darkest desires. (We will return you to reality) All are welcome -- chew the fat here, pass the time. A brief history of this thread: Created by Steve (user name SAT), it started off as a place for VJers to rant, vent, talk. It has evolved into an everyday friendly (and rude) conversation. THE RULES of the thread, from the undersigned. 1. We like each other here. So don't be a jerk. 2. No Facebook links. 3. This thread is not for debates, not for fighting. 4. This is a conversation. Keep it light-hearted. 5. If you see antagonists, just put them on ignore. 6. If you think that your stinkiness don't stink, please stay out. 7. Not everyone on the planet is going to agree with you, so don't push issues. 8. Please don't push your political and religious beliefs here. 9. If you don't like the people here, please don't post here. VJ is full of other threads. 10. Please don't post anything that'll link anything to your identity. We've had problems in the ancestral threads. 11. Have a sense of humor; don't be such a stiff. Remember? Humor? Don't take anything personally; half of the stuff said here is just jive (in the case of Steve, it's 100% jive). From SAT, the now sadly inactive OP: This thread is politically incorrect. Come in, come in, rant away. Let us tell you how to suffer. Let us make fun of you. We're rude and crass. Business, all business!

Was locked out of VisaJourney for several days because of a computer issue. Here is this past Sunday's intended Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== BLONDE CRIME A blonde was speeding in a 35-mile-per-hour zone when a local police officer pulled her over. The officer, also a blonde, walked up and asked for the blonde driver's license. The driver searched frantically in her purse and finally said to the blonde policewoman, "What does a driver's license look like?" Irritated, the blonde cop said, "You dummy! It's got your photo on it!" The blonde driver frantically searched her purse again and found a small, rectangular mirror down at the bottom. She held it up to her face and said, "Aha! This must be my driver's license!" and handed it to the blonde policewoman. The blonde cop looked in the mirror, handed it back to the driver, and said, "You're free to go. Also, if I had known you were a police officer too, we could have avoided all of this!"

Thrilling Saturday report, see man: We are fortunate to have done our ES-ing on Friday, see below man. We were very groggily awakened by a cheerful phone call from ex-Mrs.-T-B., ex-she man man. While we self-caffeinated, Mama T-B. ordered us to appear ASAP, intense senior she man man. We managed to get there in semi-coherent shape with a whole bag of requested stuff, groggy we man man. We caddied her pills, always a shouting match* man. *Mama T-B. always insists on checking each day's contents Many (2+2) times**, man **if it's right the first time, why would it be wrong the next Many (2+1) times, huh man? Lunch was Mama T-B.'s leftovers, nibble we man. We did most of her other stuff during our Many-hour ([2+1]-hour) visit, particular senior she man man. Mama T-B. ordered us to find a phone adaptor that stays in the outlet, no wobbling man. We are clueless regarding such stuff, say so and got yelled at we man. We said that we would consult ex-Mrs.-T-B., knows all about that stuff man. We left and went to a packed Aldi, grocery for Two Guys week we man. As soon as we wearily arrived at the casa, Mama T-B. called, see man: "Where are you with my phone adaptor, huh man?" aysheep senior she man. We almost couldn't restrain ourself, no man. We called ex-Mrs.-T-B., who agreed to out-bail us, amenable ex-she man man. We heard nothing from Mama T-B. after that, obviously successful ex-she man man. An exhausted siesta was then taken, zzz we man. Din-din was the final Many (2x2x2 +2) Costco spring rolls, finally freezer space now man. Miu insisted on everything that mius can conceivably insist on, comply we man. We had a couple of fall festival events to have attended today, forget both man. No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man. No Sunday plans other than our LL, NFL football, and evening start to Two Guys week man. And that was/is our thrilling Saturday, report we man.

Do what OldUser says. Your cache of evidence is strong; therefore, affidavits are unnecessary. A glaring omission, however: Wills, medical & financial powers of attorney, and similar estate documents. These make superlative evidence for ROC, and they're even more crucial to have in "life." If your state (like mine, Texas) has templates online that cover necessary protocols, use those; if not, shop for a lawyer who can draft these for you. (Remember, for the future, that if you move from one U.S. state to another, your will may need to be redone.)

I agree with OldUser above -- you'll almost certainly be grandfathered in.

We heard that YOU had trouble, too, so there and ha man.

Thrilling Friday-on-Saturday report, see man: Still locked out of VJ, man. Arose, self-caffeinated, and mowed front lawn only, save energy for ES-ing we man.

Thrilling Thursday-on-Saturday (!) report, see man: Still locked out of VJ, man. Breakfast was 2 hard-boiled eggs, ingest we man. Visited Mama T-B., "brief" visit that lasted the usual 2 hours man. Din-din was from Subway*, ingest we man. *WUOC + gift card, financially savvy we man No party with the rubias, no cavort we man. Many (2+2+1) ESs itineraried for Friday, trip-roading we man. And that was/is our thrilling Thursday, belatedly report we man.

Great news!

It's been wonderful to follow your story. Keep it up!

The in-person aspect certainly shows commitment to the relationship. Let's hope that they don't ask her for something that she has access to only at home. Be sure to report back with all details and the outcome.

Wonderful! Because this issue is happily concluded, we'll lock this thread, to keep others from hijacking it.

Good luck, and keep us apprised.

Be sure to return here to let us know the results.

Accurate. Back in my time, I asked a former consular officer what constituted this, and he said, "Any poor country," with emphasis on all 3 words.
