What wildbug says. In addition, the visa could be refused on the grounds that she intends to fill a role that a U.S. citizen could perform (home health care, or similar).

Very helpful response, Kristin -- thank you!

One place to find it is on the NOA2 paper.

Comments about this issue? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pennsylvania dairy farmers celebrate the Whole Milk Act HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania — When word reached the dairy farmers gathered at the Pennsylvania Farm Show that President Donald Trump had signed the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act, cheers echoed through the cavernous 24-acre complex packed with farmers, thousands of attendees, and even a few goats, cows, and horses. No one was more exuberant at the news than Dave Smith, executive director of the Pennsylvania Dairymen's Association, a trade group founded in the late 19th century that supports and advocates the state's largest agricultural sector: dairy farming. Less than 10 minutes before the announcement, Smith had been telling me that getting whole milk back into schools was dairy farmers' biggest challenge and worry. That calm composure vanished as soon as word began to spread. "This is incredible news," Smith said. "I, and many others, have been working on the whole milk thing for many, many years, and this is meaningful for us in the dairy industry."

We should also have ingested a kill-paining product, injection site intolerable man. Nevertheless, we persisted, intrepid we man. Lunch was Many (2+2) cheeseburgers at BK, no coupon used financially unsavvy we man. The cost was almost exactly like a chickenburger + fries + drink WUOC, oh well man.

Interview letter. Others will confirm this.

The President Receives a Historic Gift [...] The Venezuelan opposition leader, on behalf of her people, gave the president her Nobel Peace Prize. Not a replica. The real thing. Since the meeting was purposely kept private, I wasn't sure that a photo would surface, but one got out, and as of late Thursday night, both the White House and Machado have shared it on social media.

This is concise and quite elegant. Thoughts on it? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Greenland, USA Europe is in a dither over the U.S. president's ousting of Venezuela's socialist dictator. Heads of state hastily assembled in London to discuss Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen's call to arms to safeguard her nation's imperial ambitions in Greenland. "We need to step up in Europe, we need a stronger and resolute Europe standing increasingly in its own right, capable of defending and promoting Europe and the European interests," she said. Ms. Frederiksen insists that U.S. seizure of Greenland would implicate NATO treaty obligations and compel members to defend Copenhagen's claim to the vast territory 2,200 miles away. If there was any doubt that Trump derangement syndrome is a malady that belongs in the official manual of psychological disorders, then this should put it to rest. Ms. Frederiksen's allies are indulging the fiction that NATO would exist without U.S. taxpayers. We not only [...] https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2026/jan/13/editorial-greenland-usa/

Agree. The Muslim influx is another factor.

Thrilling Thursday report, see man: It was a busy day, see man. Dragged carcass from bed to breakfast/rant Mini-B., successful we man. Immediately attempted Siesta #1, successful only right before alarm rang man. Attempted to extend siesta, partially successful man. Re-dragged carcass from bed when Mama T-B. called, aysheep senior she man. On orders, prepped carcass to visit Mama T-B., aysheep senior she man. Arrived in time for lunch, timing is everything man. Lunch was chicken marsala, roasted potatoes, and (yuck) beets, told beets to beet it and ingest we man. Fulfilled Mama T-B.'s requests, still-aysheep senior she man. Returned to casa in time to attempt mini-Siesta #2, less than an hour man. Dragged carcass to doctor for shot of meat-tenderizer in hip, on-time we man. Waited in exam room for 1 hour + half an hour, patient before us had complications man. Finally got shot in Many-minute ([2x2x2]-minute) procedure, we man. We feel like a hip individual, Are You Hip like us man. Responded to aysheep phone message from Mama T-B., aysheep senior she man. Responded to aysheep text from ex-Mrs.-T-B., aysheep on behalf of aysheep Mama T-B. man. Din-din was from Subway*, ingest we man. *WUOC + gift card, F$WM Mini-Siesta #Many (2+1) was attempted, far less than an hour man. Went to HOA Board meeting, girded for battle we man. Waited through entire agenda, not all boring man. Attempted to speak during open forum, as suggested man. Was cut off in favor of executive session, just a couple of minutes later man. Presented our case, verbally and with copious handouts man. Board quite sympathetic, not our fault man. They even shook our hand afterward, good sign man. ChatGPT (our sole support during this prep process) says, "You have won, si man," si man. We now await confirmation and written instructions so repainting can begin, si man. And we flung poo at them as a sign of gratitude, expert Superior Primate we man. Mini-B. has suddenly decided that he wants to wear baggy jeans, Manyager decision-making man. We have ordered him Many (2+2+2+1) blue/black/gray jeans off Amazon, fortunately marked down man. He is very well pleased with what we got him but won't count them as birthday presents, man. Worst Buy dryer-deliverers say that we've been scheduled for Friday before noon, si man. Their window is "o'dark-Many until half an hour before noon," man. We have not even confirmed whether/when refurb place will retrieve electric dryer, oh brother man. It appears that we will lose most or all of Friday for GS-ing/ES-ing, man. No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man. Despite dryer business, we have itineraried a realistic Friday ES and possibly a GS, itinerary we man. There's the possibility of more on Saturday, risky to wait man. And that was/is our thrilling Friday, report we man.

Interesting, Bro B man. Ecus rarely eat canned stuff, and they throw it out as bad on the FIRST day of the month of "expiration/best by," sigh man. Also, every Ecu chica must own a minimum of Many (2x2x2x2x2x2 -2-2-2-1) purses, man.

Wonderful -- thanks for the happy update.

Bro Lance-Skywalker, this is a repeat request for where you heard this rule.

Welcome to the forum! Folks should be along to help you.

Scintillating Wednesday repartee, yawn man. ------- Thrilling (?!) Wednesday report, see man: Mini-B. actually arose and downstaired himself early, mirabile dictu man. His breakfast & prep were unrushed and pleasant, imagine that man. By request, we bought him an app that limits his screen time unless he exercises, ??? man. In early returns, it seems to be working and he likes it, not a day too soon man. Breakfast/lunch was onecan of beef stew, ingest we man. We spent all morning & early afternoon waiting for dryer-delivery, cool heels we man. Deliverers showed up half an hour later than promised, go figure man. We asked them to test power in our electrical outlet, uneasy we man. Their test showed an adequate Many00 volts, so there's that man. However, new dryer wouldn't energize, man. Deliverers retested all fuses in back of new dryer, all OK man. We agreed to stop there so that we could caucus with an electrician, we man. We aysheepily researched & contacted local electricians, oh great man. One sent their man out within 2 hours, glory be man. He detected no "ground" in the Many00-V outlet, diagnose further he man. In short (no pun man), we would have to cut through drywall to install a new ground, man. This would cost $Many,000, man. A gas dryer would completely sidestep the problem, oh great man. Fee for visit, diagnosis, and breaker-box work was $Many ($2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2 -2-2-2), man. Guy found Many (2+1) things out of code with our breaker box, ignore for now we man. These will cost $Many00 to fix, we man. We researched gas dryers and potential vendors, and assisted by ChatGPT we man. No refurbish place had any in our necessary style, man. We finally bought a Whirlpool at Worst Buy on slight discount, sigh man. It will be delivered sometime Friday, probably hose ES-ing man. We expect refurb place to refund our purchase of electric dryer, retrieval day uncertain man. Finally retrieved Mini-B. from ex-Mrs.-T-B.'s casa, exhausted we man. Din-din was pork & beans, chicken tenders + honey mustard, and r'br, ingest Two Guys man. We consumed the entire large bag of tenders, thoroughly ingest Two Guys man. Mini-B. wanted to game and we wanted to siesta, mutually compatible goals man. We did not zzz deeply but probably zzz'd some, semi-zzz we man. Mini-B. embedded himself far earlier than usual, maybe up-growing wee man man. We have compiled the materials necessary for the HOA showdown on Thursday, case of the piles we man. Mama T-B.'s long-term care policies finally paid off, took them longer than half a year to react man. Mama T-B. actually rather chipper about thi$ circum$tance, $i man. No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man. Must itinerary ESs/GSs for Fri.-Sat., unknown how many we can attend man. Doc caucus to shoot up our hip with meat-tenderizer Thursday afternoon, shoot us now man. HOA caucus in eve, OK Corral possible man. And that was/is our thrilling Wednesday, report we man.
