Again, ULTIMATUM.
Seriously, present it as such. Either you do it my way, or no way at all. You're prepared to fulfill your familial duty (garg), but you'll do it this way ot not. It's her choice -- either she presents your biodata as is, to get a wife YOU want...or she won't be getting a daughter in law. Evah.
It sounds like your mom is a hard-ass, and if you take a hard-ass line with her, she'll bitch and moan...but she'll respect your manliness (double garg) if you don't back down. So DON'T.
I'm not. Not this time. Not anymore. But not right now, because I would start yelling and cursing and crying.
{{P-C}} I am so sorry, love. I went and read your biodata and I totally dig it and would seriously date you if I was, you know, 15 years younger.
Man I almost wish my Mom was picking for us. My sister's about to marry her boyfriend just because his green card is expired. He happens to be Indian. I wonder if there's any way we could get HIS Mom's number. Of course I bet my Mom would looove your biodata P-C.
serially...I love it too... except for that bit about Magnolia.
Ftr? Laga's sister's BF is a gigantic ASSHAT who refused to stop drinking on the night he was supposed to drive her home after her birthday dinner. And who expects said sister to support him. And who already has been in one green card marriage.
Laga, green cards don't expire. He's having his revoked, and I'm terribly afraid that he's just using your sister to get a new one. And this is none of my business, but I care about you and your sis, and the whole thing just makes me angry.
If that rant is TMI just tell me and I'll delete. Fuming right now.
KT: ranting is good. It reminds me I'm not alone in knowing my sis has gone craxy.
Laga, green cards don't expire. He's having his revoked
Not doubting he's having his revoked but, FYI, green cards DO expire. Yup,
permanent
residency only comes in 10 year helpings.
Mine's up in 2011, so I'll have to start the renewal process in 2010, probably.
I'm guessing they revoke your green card if you divorce your green-card-wife... but his divorce isn't final yet. Anyway one thing is for sure: he is an ASSHAT.
Thanks all for your comments about the photos from my trip. To balance them, here are the photos from the second half of that trip, travelling to the Red Centre with Wallybee: [link]
