And since she's here on a greencard, and has various other immigration weirdness, she got a lawyer.

Hrm. Green card is like, permanant residency though! It's not like, "here on a work visa" or "here on a travel visa" or "here totally illegal-like."

Not casting aspirsions on the story, but, dang. Can't the permanant residents get a break? It's a pain in the ass enough to get the damn thing, and citizen is the only thing that trumps it. Annoying.

Er, I get defensive. 'cause of the shifty non-USian I'm harboring in the house.

Seekrit message for government spies: He has a green card!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I was considering having popcorn for dinner, because popcorn sounds delish right now, but I promised DH sausage and potatoes. Maybe I'll have some popcorn after.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Yeah, one of my cases is all about immigration weirdness. Suffice it to say almost no one save a few immigration lawyers know all the statuses-- big problems when you deal with government officials.

Yeah, I thought it was weird, but maybe because of the criminal charges? She was fuh-reaking out, in any case.

I would dread habing to deal with INS or ICE or whatever. I'm sure there are nice, helpful people in it, but I've rarely had a pleasent interaction (courtesy of where I grew up.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

People are taking nutritional advice from the lady who eats popcorn for dinner?

Hey, I never claimed to be giving nutritional advice.

Candy corn for dinner for grownups is OK?!

I call that dispensing advice.

It's not nutritional advice, it's stick-it-to-the-Man advice.

Popcorn is nutritious, right? Candy corn, ::chews some more:: not as much.

Anyway, I heard popcorn is nutritious from Good Eats, so it must be right.
