...cancer insurance is a separate thing???
The most expensive of the three! And it involves very specific coverages. I don't really know how the whole thing works, but what the hell! Insurance!
and something about teaching in inner-city schools
...yeah, something about that! What, exactly? Does she want to? Does she think if she sticks around someone will force her to? What's the scoop with that?
Kathy, I think it's the link about halfway down the page under "A Quake's Arrival" [link]
So: have you considered emigrating to Canada?
I looked into it in 2000 and 2004, did the points test online and stuff, but not really seriously. I did consider grad school there, but now that's more expensive than in the States.
Everybody should emigrate to Ireland. I already married one of you, so that options gone, but all you need is one Irish grandparent! And... also then I can make everybody tea. Which is nice.

I looked into this too! But my dad (who I believe could make the "one Irish grandparent" argument) has no desire to emigrate. (Immigrate? Wait, what's the difference??) And my mother, who has several Danish grandparents, doesn't either. Even if Denmark were lax like that. Which they're not. Hrmph.
Immigrate means coming into a country. Emmigrate means going out of it.
Hey Kat, does Grace have any sort of appointed advocate that can help, or can she get one?
I had a friend who ran a side-business doing paperwork prep for adoptions, because there was so much confusion and redundancy and triplicate and she just knew the process inside and out. So she had checklists and timelines and agency info.
Maybe something like that exists for Gracie's paperwork mountain.
nope, I feel bad enough being this far away from family now. No further.
Especially when she said, "Maybe I could be a refugee?" and I'm thinking, "The US has some sucky things, but I doubt you are in danger of being killed by a military junta here."
I think there have been some Army deserters/conscientious objectors who tried that route, but failed.

Man, I am one generation too removed. I would totally love to move to Ireland.
GF and I looked into Canada after the last two elections, but then were like eff that! And then we were all "This land is your land, this land is my land," and all that jazz.
