It is Sunday, meaning it's time for our thrilling, hilarious Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY I realized why I love margaritas -- it's a way to drink salt. Being abducted by aliens might just be the vacation I need at this point. You know you're old when you have upstairs ibuprofen and downstairs ibuprofen. Everything mixes well with tequila except decisions. I need a speed-bump between my brain and my mouth. Did you know that the word "incorrectly" is spelled "incorrectly" in every dictionary? Eyedrops are technically blinker fluid. They should invent a Sunday that doesn't have a Monday right after it. If your phone doesn't ring, it's me. Mother Nature is just throwing out temperatures like Powerball numbers: 86 42 66 53 40. Of all the types of sausage, German is the wurst. I have only two moods: (1) Worrying about every detail, and (2) It is what it is. The weather is trying to be all sweet and pretty... like it didn't try to kill us a week ago. When I say "the other day," I could be referring to yesterday or 15 years ago. No need to repeat yourself -- I ignored you fine the first time. The phrase "don't take this the wrong way" has a 0% success rate. I thought that growing old would take longer. All of my passwords are protected... by amnesia.

Trump Secures 15% Tariff On Extra 'U' In British Spelling U.S. — President Trump has reportedly finalized a new trade deal with the United Kingdom, securing a 15% tariff on the extra "U" in British words.

Texas Gerrymanders Districts Into Giant Whataburger Logo AUSTIN, TX — Texas state representatives finally reached a quorum Tuesday and adopted a congressional redistricting map in the shape of the Whataburger logo. A motion to adopt the new district map passed 91-59, with only three Democrats crossing party lines to side with Republicans.

WNBA Warns If You Throw Anything On The Court, You Will Be Forced To Attend 10 More WNBA Games NEW YORK, NY — In an effort to create a strong deterrent to anyone considering perpetrating any further incidents, the WNBA issued a warning that anyone caught throwing things onto the court would be forced to attend 10 more WNBA games. The policy change came on the heels of multiple incidents in which unidentified individuals threw inappropriate items into the court during play. WNBA officials said that any further instances of such behavior would result in the people responsible being sentenced to watch more WNBA, whether they liked it or not. "It's a severe penalty, yes, but hopefully it will make people think twice," said WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert.

Got 'em dead to rights. Need charges, convictions, and jail. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Whistleblower Ties Clinton Campaign to Fake Russia Hack A whistleblower report declassified last week suggests that Hillary Clinton's campaign efforts to manufacture evidence tying Donald Trump to alleged Russian hacking in 2016 were deeper than previously known – as were Obama administration efforts to conceal them. According to the report, a former senior U.S. intelligence analyst who investigated alleged Russian attempts to breach state voting systems during the 2016 election suspected the breaches may have been "related to activities" of the computer contractors involved in the Alfa Bank hoax, who were accused of manipulating Internet traffic data. In that well-publicized case, a Clinton campaign lawyer worked with federal computer contractors and the FBI to create suspicions that Russia was communicating with Donald Trump through a secret server shared by Alfa Bank of Russia and Trump Tower in Manhattan.

Wills, medical & financial powers of attorney, and similar estate documents make superlative evidence for the I-751, and they're even more crucial to have in "life."

There you go. Take the long view regarding self-protection.

This would be a first on VisaJourney. Please be specific as to what you did -- whom you wrote/called, and when, and what was said. Oh, and congratulations!

I fully concur with E & J. Ready to cheer when you report success.

I wish that more people wrote reviews as clearly and thoroughly as yours. Very complete and informative. Not that you need advice about Removing Conditions, but for the benefit of others: Regarding your shared life together, take all physical evidence that comes in, and throw it into a box. Create a computer folder for online evidence. By the time ROC comes around, you'll have so much evidence over time that you'll possibly also have the high-class problem of deciding what not to include with your I-751. In addition: Wills, medical & financial powers of attorney, and similar estate documents make superlative evidence for ROC, and they're even more crucial to have in "life." If your state (like Texas) has templates officially available online, that's one option for drafting your documents; if not, find a lawyer to draft them. Finally, remember that if you move from one U.S. state to another, your wills may need to be redone in order to conform with state-specific protocols and language. Now, down off soapbox!

Scintillating Friday repartee, yawn man. ----- Thrilling Friday report, see man: We done did it, see below man. --- We forgot to mention that we added a bunch of small items onto NextDoor before Thurs-on-Fri bedtime, add we man. --- Awoke far before alarm but after Bro G. Walmarting time, we man. However, this enabled us to meet client at Mama T-B.'s place for delinquent $Many, financially savvy we man. This was "get out of Dodge or make Mama T-B. aysheep" day, si man. We knew that we could do it, goal attainable man. Mostly piles of random, irritating little poop on the floor, what to do with it man. We decided to be brutal and out-throw most of it, ultimately effective man. Salvation Army showed up unannounced, directly at door, without security check-in, no follow directions they men man. It didn't matter, front office knew man. We pointed out what to take, see man. They set it in the hallway and dealt with it without bugging us, fine with us man. So that out-cleared much space, clear mission remaining for we man man. Last free lunch was sit-down, nowhere else to ingest it man. It was a chicken club sandwich, meatball soup, tater tots, & sugar-free chocolate ice cream, ingest we man. It was average but satisfying, conclude we man. And free, best part man. While we were away from phone, someone texted us about a NextDoor item, text she man we man man. She asked if we would be there at 2 p.m., ask she man. We replied, "Probably, si man, but can you show up earlier, huh man?", si man. No response, no man. Young chica had been shopping with young son and showed up right at 2, show she man. We were literally one more downstairs trip away from turning in the keys, that close man. Chica gave us $Many, si man. We gave her the purchased item plus miscellaneous household/vitamin stuff for free, clean floor we man. She texted us later to tell us that she'll use all of it, appreciative she man. We took one more flatbed load of small stuff to the very full T-B.-mobile, si man. It was over Many00 F. outside, too, perspirational we man. We returned to Mama T-B.'s crib and made one more sweep of the place, sweep we man. We out-threw the last stray items, took garbage with us, and locked door for last time, end-of-era man. We binned garbage and turned in keys to nice receptionist, very supportive to us throughout man. Vacating process is thankfully informal, no walk-through required man. The time was half-of-half till Many (2+1) p.m., noted we man man. Director & Assistant had just gone into a meeting, no chance to thank them for everything man. We said goodbye to receptionist and left, bye we man. (Uncle T-B. still lives there, but we up-pick him directly from his back door, no front-office interaction man.) We are unsure how we felt about all this, then and at this writing man. We entered the packed, boiling-hot T-B.-mobile for donation run, already in trunk from previously man. Afterward, went to never-used storage place, turn in unused keys we man. Managerette listened to our story and sympathized with Mama T-B.'s financial anguish about it, si man. Managerette will try on Monday to seek an adju$tment, no guarantee but fingers crossed man. Any such relief will keep Mama T-B. from going aysheep, poor Mama T-B. in anguish man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. had been far out of town accompanying an amiga on a project, remote ex-she man man. She asked us to check on Mini-B.'s hunger status, check we man. We were completely exhausted and probably smelled like a decaying moose, fragrant we man. Mini-B. was OK for then, si man. Returned to casa and emptied packed T-B.-mobile, laundry room now inundated with bags/boxes man. Serviced demanding miu, Where's My Miu-Lunch/Treats/Love huh Daddy man. Sat under ceiling fan, some relief man. Got call from Mini-B. regarding hunger, time to service wee man we man man. Showered and got Subway* to take to ex-Mrs.-T-B.'s casa for din-din, ingest Two Guys man. *WUOC + gift card, financially savvy we man Ex-Mrs.-T-B. then arrived, grand entrance but fairly relaxed ex-she man man. We forewarned her & Mini-B. about disastrous state of our casa, forewarn we man. Returned to our casa and updated NextDoor sales items, update we man. Siesta'd like an absolute dead thing for an hour-plus, where was that quality zzz for the last Many weeks man. Maybe our brain is relaxed now, too much anxiety man. No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man. For Saturday, we have itineraried one GS** and up to 3 ESs, itinerary we man. **amid full-community GS, certainly more being held man Must grocery for Two Guys week, so long since last one that we've forgotten the routine man. Must try to de-box/de-bag all the jetsam from Mama T-B.'s casa, egad man. And that was/is our thrilling Friday, report we man.

Some people are easy to delight, it seems...

Thrilling Thursday-on-Friday report, see man: Bedtime HSM adequately effective, semi-mobile we man. Customer wanted us at Mama T-B.'s old casa sooner than planned, fortunately prepared we man. We sold him one item of broad interest and another only of his interest, satisfying man. We also sold him 2 tubs of various light bulbs for an extra $Many, serendipity man. Free lunch was chicken livers/onions, mashed taters, and peas, ingest we man. This might be our last, depending on Salvation Army pickup on Friday man. We spent the morn/early afternoon prepping for movers, prep we man. We placed everything possible into 2 places in the casa, prep we man. We then took fotos of small stuff like jewelry boxes to sell on NextDoor, get to that soon we man man. Movers contacted us in timely fashion, si man. Then they didn't actually show until half an hour past window, man. We actually dozed off while waiting for them, zzz we man. Driver was alert and capable, si man. Helper was zoned and moonbeamish, man. Driver did most of the work, dedicated he man. We man -- WE man -- had to keep helper from hosing or destroying stuff, lost-in-space man. E.g., helper tried to pack half a Manyzen glass bowls into a box meant for tall lamps, duh man. He then broke 2 of the bowls while wrapping them, we man. We were quite off-urinated, man. We and driver kept giving each other wry looks, sigh man. Helper then spent rest of time saying, "It on me, man -- it on me, man," man. Driver assured us that insurance would pay for it, hope so we man. On the bright side, helper bought a small fan + cleaning supplies from us for $Many, serendipity man. There's a benefit to leaving everything scattered out on the floor, man. It took them 2 hours to load their truck, which had NO rear or side ramp man. We were concerned that they would take us over the Many-hour ([2+1]-hour) minimum, man. Driver quietly promised to talk to his partner on the drive to our casa, Dutch Uncle talk man. Whatever he said worked, because partner was a lot more professional & calm, about time man. The job was complete in 2 hours + half an hour, amazing when TWO people actually work man. The boss charged us for the actual time and not the Many-hour minimum, boon man. We rate the experience a C-minus, probably generous man. Still, it is over except for the unboxing, finally no need to collect boxes man. Mini-B. comes Sunday eve and can help us, si man. Bulk-trash collection is Monday morning, convenient man. Then all that's left is placement and selling of items, si man. Din-din was toucans of store-brand Chunky-type soup* from Mama T-B.'s pantry, ingest we man. *expired Many (2+2+2) years ago, survive we man An utterly failed siesta occurred thereafter, monsoon and coughing and hip pain man. Miu was startled and then fascinated by this entire process, finally excitement for bored miu man. She did not try to escape outside, relief man. No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man. On Friday, we must report early to collect the $Many from the light-bulb purchaser, paying us then man. Salvation Army truck will come at some point, must call them to learn when we man man. Then comes final cleanup and return of keys, end of an era man. We must then cancel the expensive storage unit that we never used, man. We must also bank the thick pocketful of cash from all of Mama T-B.'s item sales, no time before now man. Maybe we get our life back by Saturday, si man. A community GS is being held very nearby, plan to attend we man. We also must research ESs, research we man. And that was/is our thrilling Thursday, report we man.

We were unaware of these, si and no see we man mam ma'am. When things settle down, we shall look, si and see we man mam ma'am.
