    The 25 Day Shuffle & Share

    My May's interview is in a week with her projected POE 6 weeks later.

    I appreciate some of the ideas here but it makes me realize I am no where near ready.

    Space in the closet? Crud! There isn't enough room for my stuff! Time to box stuff up. :lol:

    When I first read the title of this topic, I wasn't thinking of cost as much as legal status.

    If my fiance (soon to be wife) were to get pregnant (after our marriage in the US and completion of the first AOS), is there going to be any legal immigration issues with the child born back in the Philippines? Maybe this is just a silly question but I had the thought so figured I would ask/mention it here.

    The only real thing I know for sure is that the child could never run for President in the U.S. if not born in the U.S. or on a U.S. military base hospital.

    I NEED YOUR ADVICE..

    My divorces (yes plural, don't ask) went smoothly. Shared a lawyer, agreed on everything. Next we filed our own paperwork, agreed on everything. As far as life changing events go...no drama, no mess. In reality, separating in this manner if highly unusual as most are drawn out messy events.

    Even though those divorces were quite cordial, there is no way in H#LL I would ever leave an ex-wife on a bank checking/saving account.

    There could be circumstances like the checking account is tied to another loan account at the bank in which both parties are still liable.

    Good luck.

    to all of you with facebook accounts

    I have a brother who refuses to get a FB account simply because he is a very private person.

    My take on Security concerns:

    There is a lot of news regarding security on social networking websites. A FB account holder gets to decide how much of anything they put on FB is accessible by others. There are default settings (not sure what they are) and you must be mindful when ever adding anything new (photo albums, applications, etc.) to change the settings from the default to your settings. Certainly, it can be a lot to manage (and for some, not worth the effort).

    Personally, I restrict the access to photos, posts, notes, etc. to only people listed on my FB Friends list.

    The only thing you can see about me is that I am male, my websites that I promote and my pic. That is it.

    All too often I see people posting reactionary items about how FB has done this or done that and to go change your settings immediately. Too many times the thing that they are "warning" everyone about (usually to disable) is an item that I have set to only share with FB friends (not everyone, not Friends of Friends) so I don't have to change that setting.

    Certainly, I have had more problems with financial institutions compromising my data (not online) than anything I have ever posted on a social networking site.

    Lastly, it is a personal choice on whether to have an account or not. You should not have to defend your decision to anyone. Most (not all) of the profile pictures I have chosen to display on my FB profile have included my fiance. Certainly, one of my "evidence of relationship" that I submitted was a printed page of both of our FB profile pages that shows our relationship status, posts of amour on our walls to each other and out profile pics that include both of us on both profiles (reminder: only my profile pic is viewable if not already on my friends list). If managed correctly, your FB info is yours to keep.

    Good luck to you both.

    How did your fiance propose to you in the Philippines?

    Posted · Edited by Adam & May

    On my first visit to see May (in August 2008)I already knew I was going to ask her to marry me. I was fairly confident that she would say yes. I decided to keep this proposal very simple.

    It was on my 3rd day there. We woke up in the morning and starting talking (honest, just talking) about beening together and how happy we were. While she got up for a moment to use the restroom I pulled the ring box out of my luggage and got back in bed. When she returned, I asked her "Will you be with me, my whole life?" She said "yes!"

    Now flash forward 19 months, May starts to tease me that I never really asked her to marry me. She kept saying, "you never used the words, will you marry me?" I told her to be careful because if she were serious about that I would have NO PROBLEM using those words to propose again but this time which would do it in a most public fashion (and possibly cause embarrassment). She would still occasionally tease me.

    During the first week of my visit in April 2010, I asked May for a favor. I asked if she would do something for me when I asked her to do it (all the while not knowing what it was) She reluctantly agree. The 3rd week of my visit May threw a very big birthday party for her father who turned 80. I decided not to do it that day as I wanted May's father to have his special day. He told me this was the first birthday party he ever had.

    The very next day many of May's family and neighbors were hanging out at their house enjoying the Karaoke machine they rented (by the way, May is an amazing singer). There were probably about 30 people or so at the house. After an hour of singing, eating and drinking it was my turn to sing. With the microphone in my hand and her parents in sight, I paused the karaoke machine. I turned to May and said, "before I sing this song I just want to say May...I am calling in that favor I asked of you 2 weeks ago. Since I still don't know enough Tagalog, I want you to translate everything that I say." After pulling her face out of her hands she agreed. I began telling everyone how May had been teasing me for over a month that I had not really asked her to marry me because I didn't use those specific words. It was a little difficult for her to translate only because she was crying but to her credit she was a woman of her word. I then dropped to one knee, took her hand and used the specific words of "May, my love, will you marry me?" I thought she was crying before but this time the tears were really coming down now (and her face was buried again in her hands).

    Of course she accepted (again). As I helped her wipe the tears (of joy) from her face she did what every loving, caring fiance would do in this situation for making the proposal in such a public and attention getting way.....she hit me on the arm.

    May I love you so much!!

    Thanks everyone!!

    She is just trying to get used to the time change now. I always hate that...going back in time especially when the time difference is so great (16 hours here).

    Those previous hours were without you together so they are worth living over.

    Congrats on your reunion and God bless!
