Orange County baby!

When Hachemi started work at his current job, he would come home talking about the assistant manager. He would say 'Miss Piggy" did this or "Miss Piggy said that." It went on for a few weeks, and I said, do you not like the assistant manager? He said yes, I like her. I said why are you calling her Miss Piggy? He said "that's her name." I asked him if he had been calling her Miss Piggy to her face. He said yes. I finally realized her name was Peggy. He was just mispronouncing it."Miss Piggy" and I still laugh about that.

That is a good one Meriem! I love it.

I would postpone and give it a few months to calm down. Not that there would be any danger just for the overall enjoyment factor of spending time with your man.

Freezing here in East Houston! Omgosh I love this weather! Went with my sister and her 5yr old daughter to the nail salon to get our manis/pedi before she and her hubby go to India. My 5yr old neice saw the pink butterfly chair and that was her seat to get her nails painted in! She loved it! She was the princess!

Got home and started cooking dinner for Adam since he's at work and burned a finger pretty bad. Didnt realize I didnt have the pot holder on the part of the dish that I grabbed with my 4th finger and got it burned pretty darn bad. Thankfully its not a finger I'm going to be using alot at work so I'll keep it bandaged up. Other than that, all is well. Adam is doing great at work, his family is still ok in Egypt, and everything is fine over here. Hope everyone has a great week!

Awww, I am so sorry that you hurt your finger but very glad that everything else is going good with you two. Especially that the fam is good in Egypt.

I never sent any chat logs or copies of chats with my husband.

I hear that on Thurs night and Friday morning its going to snow in Houston! I guess I will believe it when I see it! I have work Friday at 6am... Its going to be freezing! I love it !

Congrats to you Sandy and Jack on the ROC! I hope everyone is doing well! Adam has been glued to the news on the tv, all computers and cell phone. We have so many new channels on at once. His family is doing ok and the internet came on today. I got to talk to his sister today on FB and shes sad she cant get to Alex to see her and Adams mom and grandmother. Also, the Carrefour mall is torn up! That was a pretty nice mall- crazy they tore it up. She said she was able to buy bread but not any milk.

I am glad to hear that Adam's family is safe!

So far everyone is doing o.k., Mom and Dad had to lock down the apartment house for saftey and his sister and brother in law had to close down the clothing store they own, about 30 min outside of Alex. Jack has been using calling cards to communicate with his family but because the internet came back up yesterday he was also able to get in touch with some friends too. I am just so baffled at the govt getting these people to come in and cause all this unecessary violence.

Yes. But even without the reporting and just looking at the situation it's so obvious. Your average, everyday Egyptian doesn't own a horse or camel nor are they that skilled at riding. The ppl on the horses and camels are most likely police.

You are right Mithra! Somone at work was telling me about the camels and I was like CAMELS?!?!?! You do not really see alot of horses or camels in the cities, mostly out by the pyramids and such, tourist areas.

I don't think this is "a war among their own people" - this is the government sending in thugs to attack the peaceful, pro democracy demonstrators.

For one eyewitness account:

Good point Zahra!

Good morning! It's chilly here in Tucson, but at least we have no snow or ice...just sun and blue skies!

Sandy, congratualtions to Jack for a successful ROC!! One more hurdle down!

We still haven't received an oath date for Wael. They said he should be notified in about 45 days....again we wait!!

Wael will graduate from the University of Arizona in May. This is his second degree...a BA in Acct from Alexandria University

and now a BS in Economics. We had an awesome surprise yesterday. He was accepted for the MBA accelerated program

at Eller College of Management at the University of Arizona! Got his notification yesterday and another surprise....they awarded

him a wonderful scholarship!! The program is an intense 1 yr beginning in June and ending in May 2012. He will pursue

his MBA in Finance. What a fantastic year this has been. A new citizen and a great MBA program!! He has worked so hard

to maintain his honors and now it is all coming together. I'm so very proud of my husband.

WOW girl, you tell your man to GO!!!!!!!!!! Wooo Hooo!!!!!!!!!

Jack has a law degree from Egypt and has just started classes at our local community college, he wants to be a nurse of all things. Not that there is anything wrong with nursing I just was not expecting that from a man with a law degree. I do not care, what ever makes him happy.

For those that are intersted Jack's removing of conditions was approved, without an interview, we just received his card in the mail on Friday. Now we will gear up for naturalization.

Communication is the key to our marriage. We tell each other everything and discuss everything. I am lucky to have a man who does not ignore when I am upset and just hopes it goes away, this has been the case in my experiances with men. He always tells me, let's talk about it babe so we can fix it. Sometimes I am not ready to talk about it just yet so he gives me my space until I am ready to talk.

Who is responsible for it? You mean terrorists? Not sure why anyone would not want to admit that. I don't think I like what you're implying about the posters in this forum.

Very tragic what happened. But kind of scary that if you don't say it outright it is assumed that you are not sympathetic to the victims!

Frankly, the #1 reason this thread has had a lack of response is likely who posted it. Hanging In There's threads often turn into train wrecks and many people no longer want to be a part of it (sorry, kat, but I think this is true).

Frankly I do not care if you do not like what I am implying. There are many things I see here that I do not like. I have every right to express my thoughts and feelings about any topic.

Oh they know about it and they know who is responsible for it, they just do not want to admit it or deal with the situation. They want to keep the blinders on and pretend to justify their choices.

This bombing was at my sister in law's church. It was just luck that she and her husband and 6 children where not hurt. It just amazes me how many people did not have a comment for this thread. Whenever it comes to the attacks on the Copts, in their own country, not many have anything to say. Even if you believe the ridiculous ideas of the radical islamist or not, many of you have nothing to say. That just sickens me.

I do not think it is an issues at all, in my experiance and what I have seen others post. I think they are more concerned about the individual who will be financially responsible for him/her in the states.

Jack gets stuff like "crab" and "#######" confused. I keep having to explain to him the difference, but in the end they both sound the same when he says them. hehehehehe

My husband and I are 14 years difference and he has been here and we have been married 2 years 7 months. We did have a long AP but that was the norm for the time. But we were never rejected or had any problems. We are now going through the lifting of conditions portion of the program. Good luck to you!

Jack always says instead of pants, "Pants'es" and instead of clothes, "Clothes'es". And he uses the term "As you like".
