I want to crawl into a little ball today and sleep for the weekend.. but I can't .. they are dismantling our bathroom tomorrow.. blech.. WHY couldn't they have done that when we were at WORK? why.. why.. why....

So they are finally fixing the leak/floor - well at least that is good - but bad that they can't do it while you are at work! I hope they get it done in record time!

Apparently he's going to work Sat & Sun on the floor.. and put the toilet on Sat night "temporarily" .. translation: our landlord doesn't want to pay to put us up in a hotel so she's making him give us a sorta functioning bathroom when he's done..

It's a pain.. but like you guys say.. at least they are finally fixing it..

:lol:

It's funny..in DC they seem to only know how to cheer for the teams that can't win *cough* Redskins *cough* Nationals *cough* but yet the Caps have been playing awesome hockey for the past 2 years, actually MAKING the playoffs, winning the Southeast Division in 2008 and 2009, and the sports talk radio guys ONLY talk about the Redskins.

Silly I tell you.

Its also sad that the only accomlishment that the Nationals have done is lose 100 games two years in a row :whistle:

Since we have Caps season tickets, I chose all the games that I wanted to see, and am selling the ones I don't :lol:

Caps have their home opener agains the Leafs next Saturday :D

Bunt since moving down here, and actually having a team that wins (although the Leafs may do well this year!) I've become a Caps Fan :P

Love my hockey, but much prefer to stay home and watch them for free at home or at a pub. Goto a few Caps games a year, but would not waste my $$ to see the Leafs play,lol

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1
