Wow! I have never experienced an earthquake. That must have been scary! Did anything break?

Nothing broke but my sanity. ;)

I do that when we get tornado warnings. I have my perfect place all planned. :lol:

That must be a MUST in FL!

Border Crossing on July 1st...

So, I visit my husband every 2 to 6 weeks, and I've never had real problems or anything. Sometimes, they ask random questions... Last winter, I was asked if I had taken any narcotics in the last 6 months.... and, I answered the truth: never.

But, this time, I had a funny one: Are you bringing any fireworks in the US today ma'am? -- I didn't even understand what he was saying the first time because he was talking to my car roof, then I understood and I think my face was like that emoticon :blink: - and, no, no fireworks for me.

Boston now, going to Maine tomorrow :D

When I got the narcotics question my husband said I should have counted my fingers and answered, uh, no, not in the last 6 months! - I think it's funny but I would never dare to say it!

Thank you, I am sure we'll have a good time - especially if the sun comes out.

I can send free fog to anyone interested, the weather is horrible here. I left Montreal, it was warm and sunny... and I saw Boston under the worst fog and cold, haha, it's... refreshing!

I'm visiting RI, and the weather has been cool, with lots of rain!! suppose to be warm/sunny for the weekend

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

Ack I am tired today. Canada day in DC was a lot of fun and I met some new people which is always nice. Then we went to the Harbour in Baltimore for dinner after that. It was a nice day but I'm wiped out.

Donne moi une poptart!

I know its ridiculous. :innocent: But I kept waiting for the next one. . . . that never came. I was thinking about the strongest door jams in the house all night long. :lol:

:lol:

I do that when we get tornado warnings. I have my perfect place all planned. :lol:

our is downstairs in the oh chit room. where the guns are. :devil:

how will a gun protect you from a tornado? :P

they won't, but at least i won't have to look all over the countryside for my guns afterward.

unless, of course, the tornado is a liberal tornado, then they might protect me :P

good morning all.

I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy.
