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.
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.
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.
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.
I have no Irish grandparents. A few Irish cousins, but that probably doesn't count. (My mom's cousin went to medical school in Cork, and two of his kids were born there and had Irish citizenship.)
I once looked into German citizenship, but my grandmother left a few months too early to be considered a political refugee. Plus, I'm not really sure I'd want to go that route, even if I could. It feels weird.
Man, I am one generation too removed.
So was DH. Hence the marrying.
Ah well, one day I'll probably live in the States and then I can make people tea IN THEIR HOME COUNTRY. Crazy stuff.
Man, I am one generation too removed.
I am as well.
Emigrate describes the action of people leaving their home country.
Immigrate describes the action of people entering their new country.
Right?
Sounds right to me, lisa.

It looks to me that Pee-Wee Martini has a lock on it, assuming that his photo wasn't doctored.
Sounds right to me, lisa.
Yes, my mother was an immigrant. She emigrated from France.
