Welcome to American capitalism, N ma'am! Egad, but you're a party animal...

The best being the one that I initially suggested.

A regional or local bank should be more flexible than the giant ones.

They don't want to offend the, uh, Amish.

As long as they're banned from the U.S., who cares?

At least we finally have a functional Justice Department.

Thrilling Saturday-on-Sunday report, see man: The day began almost normally, weird man. Mama T-B. didn't call for some time, no man. When she did, she was calm and rational, si man.

We squealed that one urgent need was to mow the lawn, in near-desperate condition man. Mama T-B. reamed us a new one, two buttholes now for we man man. We tried to explain that mowing could occur only during daytime and visits could occur anytime, reason we man. Mama T-B. wouldn't have it, told us that Heaven & Papa T-B. were watching, and hung up on us, bye man. We tried to siesta, not difficult man. Exactly halfway through, Uncle T-B. phoned us for an update, how does he always know our siesta times man. We pretty much resumed our siesta, but it was not the same, zzz and no man. Dealt with gastrointestinal issues from lunch/din-din, occupational hazard of pigs man. Mowed entire lawn, back yard couldn't have waited one more day man.

We saw a nooser coming from Mama T-B.'s room, see we she man man. We asked her if she were finished, si man. She muttered something in thick dialect, perhaps African man. We asked her twice to repeat herself, mumbling in dialect she man man. She rolled her eyes at us and said, "We ah feenish changing huh, si man," si man. We entered room and saw sweet young nooser consoling an upset Mama T-B., si man. Both nooser & Mama T-B. confirmed that the departing nooser had "manhandled" Mama T-B., egad man. Young nooser described it and was even more upset than was Mama T-B., si man. "I tried to tell her not to be rough and how to turn your mom, but she wouldn't listen, si and no man," si man.

How's about I meet with Mom Monday morning and then I'll contact you, si man." Per Mom's request, [mean nooser] has been notified that she will not tend to her moving forward, no man," si man. Mama T-B. then groused to us about the Head Nooser, pushy abrasive chica agree we man. Mama T-B. then groused about her lack of storage space, no furniture man.

This would necessitate our bagging stuff only to unbag and sort it later, no way to run a railroad man! We told Mama T-B. this, probably very poor timing man.

Yee-HAAAAA! Thanks for having kept us apprised of your progress. Let us know about entry, her acclimation to our culture, et al.

We are obviously in intense need of our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke: ===================================== WHAT YOU'RE ENTITLED TO Airman Jones was assigned to the induction center where he was to advise new recruits about their government benefits, especially their GI insurance. It wasn't long before Captain Smith noticed that Airman Jones had a nearly 100% record for insurance sales, which had never happened before. Rather than ask about this, the Captain stood in the back of the room and listened to Jones' sales pitch. Jones explained the basics of the GI Insurance to the new recruits, and then said, "If you have GI Insurance and go into battle and are killed, the government has to pay $200,000 to your beneficiaries. If you don't have GI insurance, and you go into battle and get killed, the government has to pay only a maximum of $6,000." "Now," he concluded, "Which bunch do you think they are going to send into battle first?"

After filing, your husband's status would be "applicant for Adjustment" -- or, more concisely, "Adjustment applicant." A lawyer told me of this terminology when Mrs. T-B. was in this phase. Absolutely accurate. He should carry the most recent documentation with him at all times.

OP, your success in this immigration process depends on your ability to read carefully, interpret literally, and respond completely & accurately. "Any" means any, so interpret this instruction literally.

This desire is prevalent, perhaps nearly universal, among Filipinas who come to the U.S. It's cultural. You must completely determine the extent of this support before you marry. If you yourself intend to build a financially secure family life, and she's sending your/her money home, then what?

Thrilling (!!?) Friday-on-Saturday report, see man: We awoke before the alarm, throw us out of the human race man. We weighed Many.0 lbs, nearly setting all-time low adult weight man. Breakfast (!) was 2 hard-boiled eggs, ingest we man. We ordered Mama T-B. a Many-inch ([2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2x2 -2-1]-inch) TV from Worst Buy, order we man. It was Many% -- si man, Many% -- off, financially savvy we man. We tried to recruit Ecu handyman to wall-install it, couldn't do till Sunday Ecu he man man. We were able to recruit kindly neighbor to help with TV, see below man. We consummated a lucrative 2-year CD for Uncle T-B., different bank than previously attempted man. We got/returned the Interest Payout form, monthly income for Uncle T-B. man. Within 2 hours, it was processed/approved, pretty good for a busy bank man. Mama T-B. called to say that 2 hours prior, she was supposed to have a bath in Many ([Manyzen - 2+2]) minutes, we man. We called the off-site hospice coordinatrix, promise action she man. Later, Mama T-B. called back, hysterical and in tears man. Hospice crew had manhandled her during bath, hurting "good" shoulder and tender legs man. We were about to go righteously aysheep, enraged we man. Mama T-B. cried about these Many issues, see man: -- nowhere to put her stuff, no storage and couldn't reach it anyway man -- no one will bring her any cold water, repeated requests man -- no railings or halos to hang on to, no way to adjust position or not fall out of bed man -- no one to get her UP so she can try to do self-Fizzicle Therapy, no one man -- no help to brush her teeth, unbrushed for Many (2x2x2 +1) days in hospital & Resisted Living (RL) man -- the head nooser is a "snit," we've also met her and can see that evaluation man -- no way to tell which "helpers" are Facility and which are Hospice, no man -- employees can't speak understandable English, no man We texted the Executive Director and told him that Mama T-B. was disconsolate to the max, si man. We mentally planned to go out and bash some skulls, displeased we man. Instead, we blew to Costco Business Center for Subway gift cards, financially savvy we man. We stopped at one ES on the way back, weekly streak still somehow alive man. Lunch was at Subway*, worst location ever man. *WUOC + gift card, financially savvy we man Only words from employees were "just a minute, si man... just a second, si man... just a minute, si man," si man. They also had no water from the soda fountain, required we man to buy a drink man. Were it worth it, we'd have called Corporate, that bad man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. called to say that she would take Mini-B. to basketball camp if we couldn't, issue perhaps resolved man. Action was apparently taken at RL, si man. ExDir gave Mama T-B. a giant TV atop an old dresser, that's one tangible thing man. He personally got down on the floor to fix the cable box, si man. We suspect that other issues were dealt with, too, suspect we man. Mama T-B. said that he's a very kind dude, true and thank heaven for that, si man. Stopped at Mama T-B.'s old crib for yet more items, pacify aysheep senior she man we man. Talked with in-casa services coordinatrix, seize any chance of around-clock care man. Rate was $Many/hour ($2 Manyzen + 2+2), comparable to other outfits man. That would be nearly $Many,000/month, not sustainable man. Went with coordinatrix to ExDir, caucus we and she and she man man. ExDir could discount rate by only $1 or $2, no substantial savings man. Coordinatrix will crunch numbers and get back with us Monday, pessimistic everybody man. We called Mama T-B. to report these findings, agree she man that this isn't feasible man man. Called neighbor to meet us at Worst Buy, call he man we man man. Uneventfully got TV & mounting, successful we man. Took very full T-B.-mobile very full of Mama T-B.'s requests while neighbor took TV, si man. Neighbor assembled and programmed TV, first part easy second part not, si and no man. Cute young non-rubia Business Managerette, working late, came to help, accommodating she man. Managerette said that Mama T-B. can freely decorate the inside of her room, positive reassurance man. Neighbor determined that a tilt mounting was needed, swap them on Saturday we man. He will return to wall-mount new TV, kindly he man. Neighbor highly supportive of Mama T-B., much-needed man. Discussed furniture needs with Mama T-B., si man. Mama T-B. concludes that only a laptop will suffice, abandon desktop she man. More room measurements were taken, measure we man. After he left, we offloaded all Many00 requested supplies, most acceptable to Mama T-B. man. Mama T-B. still frustrated at no storage and having to keep all supplies in bag on bed, suboptimal man. We promised sufficient storage, promise we man. Din-din was Mama T-B.'s nearly untouched plate, ingest we man. It was a nondescript hamburger steak, Many (2+2) French fries, corn goulash (?), and an unidentifiable cookie-type dessert, quite average at best man. Returned to old casa for newly requested items plus more measurements, return we man. We think that a favorite storage unit will fit in new casa, going to be tight if so man. Returned to our casa and hungry miu after Many (2x2x2 +1) hours out man. Din-dinned but otherwise ignored miu, exhausted we man. We have optimistically itineraried Many (2+1) ESs in vicinity of Worst Buy, itinerary we man. Were Saturday normal, we could have itineraried a solid one Manyzen ESs, oh well man. We desperately need to oil-change the T-B.-mobile, becoming crucial man. We also need to lawn-mow, Two Guys week approaching man. No party with the rubias, becoming a distinct pattern man. And that was/is our thrilling Friday, report we man.

Friday-on-Saturday ES report, see man: We squeezed in an ES on way back from an errand, enterprising we man. Nothing found, no man. Total = $0

Mama T-B. refuses to consider one from Bel Furniture, Chinese junk man. And we are forgiving your two P-Math transgressions, see and si Y ma'am. Not possible or feasible, no mam ma'am.
