SnowFairy, you ran up against the "post count" for new members on their first day. Another VJ Moderator closed the duplicate account that you started so that you could reply above. You'll just have to wait until tomorrow, when you'll have another set of posts (more than 5 or 6). Sorry about that -- the first-day limit on posts was implemented to cut down on spammers. We were drowning in it before, and we still get a bunch.

Someone recently said, "She has the mind of a child, the depth of a puddle, and the appeal of a goat." We add that Rhododendron status for Someone can be regained/retained.

Someone needs to retain/regain Rhododendron status -- not disinformation.

Great to see someone from my VJ "era" -- earlier, actually -- back on with some news of note. Keep us closely apprised!

I'm confident that you'll get through this and that everything will work out. Be strong, and keep us apprised.

SnowFairy, you're fortunate that Family is helping you. Do what she says.

I never had to set one, and I've been out of that scene for years, so others will be better able to help (and they surely will).

Rather than seeking a lawyer immediately, perhaps consider an InfoPass appointment with USCIS directly.

Crucial knowledge for all! And be sure to participate in the thrilling VJ poll: https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/249659-wedgies-si-man/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How Do Olympic Gymnasts Avoid Wedgies When They're Competing? It's undeniably impressive that Olympic gymnasts compete without so much as losing a false eyelash or misplacing a hair in a sleek bun—but have you ever wondered how they sprint, leap, and flip while avoiding major wedgies? As it turns out, the semi-permanence of their signature leotards is no accident. [...] https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/olympic-gymnasts-avoid-wedgies-competing-120000217.html

Playah-haytuh, si man! Reported!!! "He said that Whirlpool and Frigidaire/Electrolux suck, si man."

Oh boy -- Sunday! Time for our highly effective Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke. In honor of the Olympics, here are some Sports jokes: ============================================= FOUR SPORTS JOKES "Let me see your permit," the game warden said to Leroy. "You can't fish without one." "I don't need one," said Leroy. "I'm doing fine with worms." "Did you hear about the high-diver who leaped into a glass of Pepsi?" Doug asked Judy. "No! How many bones did she break?" "None," Doug replied. "It was a soft drink." Billy sighed, "I wish I had the money to buy a million baseballs!" His pal Dickie said, "What would you do with a million baseballs?" "Nothing," said Billy. "I just wish I had that much money." "Did you hear about poor Juan?" Carlos asked his friend. "He was killed on the golf course." "No! How did it happen?" "A flying golf ball went right through his head." "How terrible!" said the friend. "A hole-in-Juan!"

Sodom And Gomorrah Set To Host 2028 Olympics WORLD — In keeping with the Olympics' commitment to sexual violence and Satan worship, the International Olympic Committee announced today that the 2028 games would be held in the towns of Sodom and Gomorrah. "They're a natural fit for us," explained Olympic Committee director Max Durgen. "Violent sexual debauchery forced upon unsuspecting visitors? Check. Openly mocking the Lord God? Check. They'll be hard pressed to top Paris, but I think they're up to the task." [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/sodom-and-gomorrah-set-to-host-2032-olympics

EXCLUSIVE: 11 Findings From The FBI's Investigation Into The Trump Shooting With questions swirling around the assassination attempt on President Trump, America has been able to rest easy knowing the brilliant minds at the Federal Bureau of Investigation were on the case.

These are objectively great. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WATCH: Short Trump Ads Targeting Swing States Are ABSOLUTELY Brilliant Political Advertising In most elections, the choice of the voters often (not always, but often) comes down to voting against someone rather than for someone. It's just a political calculus people make. Is it ideal? No. But it's the reality, especially in a two-party system. So when this writer stumbled across this thread of short, natural sound, micro-targeted Trump ads, it really was an eye-opening change of pace. It's giving voters something to vote for -- not negative, not bombastic. Just simple ads.

As Islamic Groups Vow Massacres, Paris Olympics Target Christianity Every Western leftist's favorite jihad group, Hamas, released a video a few days before the Olympics opened, vowing that there would soon be "rivers of blood flowing through the streets of Paris." French police recently arrested two would-be Islamic State (ISIS) jihad suicide bombers who were planning to target the Olympics. The Islamic State also called upon Muslims to carry out drone strikes on the Eiffel Tower during the Olympics. After all that, the Olympics Opening Ceremony featured full-scale, open mockery not of Islam (of course!), but of the religion leftists love to hate: Christianity.

Not even coronated yet and is already hosing foreign relations. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kamala Harris May Have Botched the Gaza Hostage and Ceasefire Deal [...] According to an Israeli official, Netanyahu was upset by Harris' on-camera remarks after their meeting on Thursday and now fears that her public remarks after their meeting could undermine ongoing negotiations over a Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal. This was her first meeting with a foreign leader since launching her solo presidential campaign, and this is the kind of misstep she can't afford to make. Harris and Netanyahu spoke for about 40 minutes. After they spoke, she called on Netanyahu to get a hostage and ceasefire deal done.

Majority Agree: Kamala Covered Up Biden Senility So it's not just a vox populi panel in Wisconsin -- on MSNBC, no less -- that smells the stench of cover-up from Kamala Harris. The Anointing has apparently not ended the electorate's interest in the chaotic month that followed the exposure of Joe Biden's cognitive impairment on national TV in a prime-time debate. And voters who saw through the attempts to cover it up afterward have firm ideas on exactly who to blame for the shocking display.

Carville Warns Dems: 'The Ice Pick Cometh' Consider this the wrap-up to what likely will be the final day of whatever honeymoon Kamala Harris has. The Obamas literally phoned in an endorsement this morning, which means that unless Democrats dig up the corpse of FDR, the potential sugar highs from endorsements have come to an end. Harris may get brief news-cycle boosts from her Veepstakes pick and at the convention, but this introductory week held the most real potential to change the race from the hole Joe Biden dug. And according to CNN polling analyst Harry Enten last night, that potential went largely unrealized. And in fact, Trump had a pretty good week -- again: [...] https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2024/07/26/the-ice-pick-cometh-n3792302

Don't Let Democrats Rewrite Joe Biden's Biography Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. should be remembered as a failed president, a cringy blowhard senator, perhaps the most shameless fabulist in American political history, the patriarch of a shady family, and a preternatural liar who couldn't hold a single consistent principled position in his very long career. Of course they're going to try to canonize him. [...] https://thefederalist.com/2024/07/26/dont-let-democrats-rewrite-joe-bidens-biography/

It depends on what the wet glop was and whether your mius would eat it, si D ma'am. It also depends on what the definition of Many is, si D ma'am. You may have gotten a fabulous deal or gotten off-ripped , glorious flexibility of P-Math ma'am. But we are generally always proud of you, si D ma'am.

The one time that we ever needed to return anything -- a NIP case of Body Armor drinks -- the clerkette said, "I don't know if we can take this back, no man," and took forever trying to get her swamped supervisorette's approval, we man. We were seething and ready to explode after having already waited in line for Many minutes, man. Edited to add, see man: LPoP and unread, sorry Ontarklar man.
