'Objects In Space'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I think he's supposed to get his passport stamped today, with residential status, so that's something at least.
And, yikes, Cashmere. How are things going for him/them?
I'm happy that we didn't do a marriage application for his residency. That way, the government should stay out of our business. Well, relatively speaking. (his green card is work-sponsored, in the works before we even got together)
Board ate my post! Grrrr...
Happy Birthday, ita!
And DX's brother! And my DH, who turns 31.
Also, DX, some of us in CT are not very fond of the Pats for exactly that reason. Of course, I am largely indifferent to football, but...stupid taunty team. We're still smarting from losing the Whalers.
Thank God we have UConn basketball or we'd have a complex.
Just looking ahead to tonight -- what time is The Amazing Race on in CA? I have to plan my evening. :-)
Happy Birthday ita!

He's actually doing well. He's getting an advanced nursing degree and they've been married for over three years. I don't know how long it actually took him to get his actual card, but I know he had several interviews over a year to get the paperwork done.

Tom's been in the process for 4 years. 2001 and 2002 were getting interviews, physicals, his company posting his job and interviewing candidates (to prove that Tom is the best qualified person to do the job), fingerprinting, forms, etc., etc., etc. I wasn't around for some of that, so some of that is anecdotal. The entire application was submitted in December of 2002 (he started the process January of 2001). 2003 and 2004, we played the waiting game. Residency awarded December 14, 2004.
Possibly the marriage track is faster, but by the time that became an option, we'd have had to withdraw the original application and start again.

Maybe. Up until then, Reza was in the country on a student visa, so he didn't try to pursue a green card.
Yet a uterus at rest? Teeny tiny thing.
This is true. It's when it's in use that it gets large. The books telling you cheerfully what's going on inside attempt to compare it to various things to give you an idea. "This week, your uterus is the size of an orange!" "This week, your uterus is the size of a grapefruit!" and so on until they run out of common citrus fruits and suddenly "This week, your uterus is the size of a soccer ball!"
Gronk.
Morning.
Happy ita day.
eagerly looking for distractions. work options are so not interesting.
soooooooo...something to kill some time.
What was one thing that you got as a gift this past year that still makes you smile?
I was treated to dinners a few times this year when I both really needed the company and when the gesture of buying my meal was greatly appreciated. I doubt my friends and family realize that the pizza, burger, or BBQ meant as much as it did, but that is part of why I love them so much.

Pomelo is the week between grapefruit and soccer ball, no?
