nope, I feel bad enough being this far away from family now. No further.
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
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.

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.

I am as well.
Emigrate describes the action of people leaving their home country.

Right?

Yes, my mother was an immigrant. She emigrated from France.

But, you have single friends that could marry us, right?
