Thrilling Tuesday report, see man: We opened our bedroom door this morn to see TWO feather-rollers outside, obvious miu man. We found a Many'rd one on the stairs, blatantly obvious miu man. Got Mini-B. ready for ex-Mrs.-T-B.'s arrival at noon, ready we man wee man for ex-she man man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. was lively and ebullient, cruise precisely the necessary tonic for her blah mood man. She said that mini-miu was thoroughly delighted to see her, Grandma's home man. She did not complain about or mention all the new miu-toys on her floor, good miu-Grandma man. She appreciated our spray-dooring and trim-treeing, appreciate ex-she man we man man. And thus Two Guys week ended, good Two Guys week man. Lunch was toucans of Chef B. Beefaroni, ingest we man. A siesta was awakened from prematurely, man. It's just as well, because Mama T-B. called before the alarm would have rung, snakebitten we man. Mama T-B. had multiple orders for us, just like the old days man. She yelled at us for not having done her agenda Many (2+2+2) months ahead of schedule and need, man. She beefed that we didn't phone Social Security on Monday (can we spell "shutdown" and "Columbus Day*" man?). *St. Patrick's Day in Poland, oj tak We mandatorily must see her on Wednesday, sense-of-doom we man. Had she not sapped our energy, we might have decluttered the kitchen from her apartment detritus, reflect we man. Instead, we ran errands and warshed the dusty T-B.-mobile, productive we man. We saved Many% at CVS WUOCs, F$WM. We saved Many% at Walgreens WUOC + loyalty credits, F$WM. Din-din was at BK WUOC, F$WM. Thoroughly brushed miu, brush miu thoroughly we man. No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man. No plans other than for Mama T-B. to dominate our day, already off-written man. And that was/is our thrilling Tuesday, report we man.

Well, bring 'em both. Far better to bring stuff that isn't asked for than the converse situation.

Or a married one, either.

Rant, see and grrrr man: The incipient Costco sales flyer for Manyober/Manyvember came today, see we man. For the second consecutive month, no quick foods are on sale, no and grrrr and we man. We dimly hope for better luck in the Costco Business Center flyer, must pick one up in person man. There's a lot of, but not complete, overlap, two divisions of the same corporation with different supplier agreements man.

She sounded like the shoe was on the other foot and she still had one leg left to stand on, see Bro C man. You should have chased the EzeeFiber clowns away completely for being incompetent and continuously incurring lawsuits, si mam ma'am. Or, better, flung poo at them, whee mam ma'am. Are you a red-blooded American chica, huh mam ma'am? If you were an advanced primate (as only one of us here, moi, is), you could have swung through the trees instead of endangering yourself on the ground, si mam ma'am.

You can bring the previous one along, but I'm willing to bet cash money that they won't ask for it.

1. They misspelled MECKLENBURG right off the bat. 2. No way that shrewish hag is as young as 43. 3. Who will therapize the therapist?

Better get used to it. It's the only alternative to a 64-pitch headline of "NEWS SHORTAGE GRIPS NATION"?

No good deed goes unpunished, or untaxed. Unclear if this is all state property tax or some is county or municipal. If this couple has a Republican state representative, he/she might try to help; if the increase (or part of it) is county, maybe appeal to the local Appraisal District.

P_P, this is correct. If you have further questions, please pick one of your existing threads and post them there.

Thinking again about the delinquent time of filing, consider relevant ideas presented in this thread: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/562879-cbp-at-tsa-airport-checkpoints-why-theyre-there-how-best-to-handle/

Maybe (others can overrule this) you can put "applicant for Adjustment," or, more concisely, "Adjustment applicant." This is what a lawyer told me Mrs. T-B.'s status was, but we were within the 90 days. They expired at port of entry. The I-94s expired. Again, others may disagree, but I wouldn't draw attention to the delinquent time of filing.

That's superb! Congratulations!

Glom onto every little crumb of happiness that you can. Fingers crossed for you.

A couple of overly political posts have been removed -- the Current Events forum is more appropriate for those.

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

Superb -- you must feel great! Thanks for returning to let us know. Be sure to update your VJ timeline, if you haven't already.

I'd bet cash money on this. The local carriers know exactly where and who everyone on their route is.

Congratulations! Tell me if you agree: Amidst all the excitement and good occurrences, a distinctly satisfying feeling is to update your VJ timeline with that final Naturalization Date entry.

Addendum to Thrilling Monday report, see in addition man: Movie night Part II involved another Better Call Saul episode, watch Two Guys man. Two more bowls of Costco popcorn were consumed, ingest Two Guys man. This put us within Many (2+1) bowls of breaking the all-time weekly record, si man. Zero mutual interest in attempting this, overstuffed Two Guys and oh well man.

Remembering the Truth behind Columbus Day [...] Good for Trump for caring about and wanting to reinstate Columbus. It'd be even better if we took this occasion to remember why Columbus sailed west in the first place. Although the Fake History we were all taught in school claims it was to "find spices," the reality is that he did so to circumnavigate and fight Muslims.

Interesting insights from an insider about how it'll be tough for Tish to defend herself. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [Untitled post on X] Not trying to make a political point here. I spent years as a mortgage banker at Quicken Loans (now Rocket Mortgage), the number one mortgage lender in the country, before I ever went to law school. So when I see stories like this, I look at them a little differently. Here's the deal. How you classify a property as a primary, secondary, or investment home changes everything about the loan. The down payment, the interest rate, the underwriting, all of it. [...] https://x.com/SMB_Attorney/status/1976613983785267214

This one is being cited elsewhere. Good reading. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Israel-Gaza peace deal sounds good for Hamas, but is good for Israel UPDATED I've been chewing over the Trump peace deal between Israel and Gaza and have concluded that it's probably as good as anything is going to be in today's climate. Israel could have achieved a complete military victory, but doing so would cause three problems that the Israeli people will not accept: the death of the remaining hostages, more military deaths, and world opprobrium at a potentially unsurvivable level. Given that, the deal is as good an offramp as Israel can get. To understand the deal, one must understand the war. For Muslims and their leftist allies in the West, the war didn't start on October 7, 2023. Instead, it started [...] https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/10/the_israel_gaza_peace_deal_sounds_good_for_hamas_but_is_good_for_israel.html

Katie Porter targeted 'softer spoken’' underlings for abuse, was 'downright mean', ex-staffer warns voters Katie Porter was exposed for berating a staffer and throwing a tantrum during an interview in two video clips this week. And the California governor candidate is even worse when cameras aren't rolling, one ex-staffer told The Post Friday. One of the lawyer and politician's cruelest tactics is dehumanizing her young underlings by referring to them in the third person — while in their presence.
