Ex-Mrs.-T-B. knows how to do this, see mam ma'am; we are a computer idiot if not an outright Luddite, sigh mam ma'am. His skool uses Schoology, unfortunately also a mystery to us mam ma'am.

Adak, Alaska!

Yes, the K-1 is a "hybrid" visa -- a nonimmigrant visa with immigrant intent. This is why interviews are in the Immigrant Visa units of the consulates.

Thrilling Sunday report, see man: Awoke nearly an hour late, egad man. Was not coughing very much at all, HSM must have finally worked man. Visited Mama T-B. for about an hour, never thought we'd return to this pattern given her earlier fizzicle shape man. Mama T-B. didn't yell at us even once, cause for repeat hospitalization by itself man. Mama T-B. tried to convince Mini-B. of the importance of skool grades, diplomatic senior she man. We let this go on until Mini-B. began tearing up, politely change subject we man. This was quite a pleasant visit, si man. Missed first half-hour of football game, planned Two Guys activity man.

Mornin', dictatorial Commie- and other babes with hitherto unallocated upvotes!

Discriminatory Ontarkar! Discriminatory, DISCRIMINATORY Ontarklar! Hardest grade precised, si D ma'am. We were told that Many'th (2+2+2th) grade, not Many'th (2+2+2+1th) grade was hardest, hmm man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. bought an iPad purely to be able to control Mini-B.'s iPhone, but it or she doesn't, mystery man. We have had success (albeit a limited sample) by telling Mini-B. that he has to be in bed by (e.g.) Many:Many or he'll lose phone privileges for an unspecified time, si man. Mini-B. accelerates and seems to take pride in making the deadlines, interesting man. This makes us wonder whether "little" threats, made consistently, might be more effective than big threats (lengthy suspensions of phone, etc.), hmm man.

Dictatorial Commie-Babe Asia! Dictatorial, DICTATORIAL Commie-Babe COMMIE-BABE Asia! We can turn him into a Polish sausage, oj tak! 🍕

"Ouch!" said the man. "I thought you said that your dog didn't bite!" "That's not my dog."

This well-written piece rightfully hammers the (in my opinion) most evil President that the U.S. has ever had. Comments? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Time to End Wilsonian Foreign Policy [...] Theodore Roosevelt did not base his approach to foreign policy on high-sounding principles or Utopian ideals. Roosevelt once said that he would choose a policy of "blood and iron" over one of "milk and water." Kissinger described Roosevelt as the "warrior-statesman” who dealt with the world as it is. He described Wilson as the "prophet-priest" who desired to bring about a more perfect world. Roosevelt imbibed the geopolitics of Bismarck and Alfred Thayer Mahan. Wilson preached the Sermon on the Mount. [...] https://www.realcleardefense.com/articles/2023/12/02/time_to_end_wilsonian_foreign_policy_996370.html

I'll never figure out why Ecu bakery products are always coated with grease or butter but are almost always too dry to eat without an accompanying liquid.

Thrilling Saturday non-GS/ES report, see man: Got up at o'dark-Many to get Mini-B. off to ex-Mrs.-T-B., office-party prep man. Caffeinated ourself thoroughly yet inadequately, nothing was going to work man. Managed to get going, somehow man.

Mini-B. found one that he should have done in class, no time-management by wee man man. Helped him with it, headache we man. Several other late ones that he must up-follow on, let's see if he does it man. Mini-B. now playing V.R. on his Oculus, animated wee man.

Saturday GS/ES report, see man: We attended all itineraried events, q.v. man. The first ES (really an MS) was in a putrid, disgusting casa, dud man.

You were probably trying to learn non-P-math, explains everything Y ma'am. We think that he fuzzes out in class because he's thinking of his games, that's one thing man. He resents the time that has to be spent in skool because it detracts from play-gaming, sigh man. He also never got over the "never-hoamwurk" of Many'th grade versus the shock of "frequent hoamwurk" in Many'th grade, difference between Alimentary Skool and Middul Skool man. See assistance with P-math, see Y ma'am. We appreciate the analysis very much, si Y ma'am.

If hot or corn, no problem, no man.
