Off Topic Part Trois

[JillA 2]

so I just got a friend request from my SIL on Facebook..

now, I like her just fine and she has always been nice to me etc but she likes to gossip a bit too much and I am worried that she would tell people things that I post.... not that I post anything outrageous but there are somethings I don't want everyone to in the whole wide world to know...

I removed my MIL for the exact same reason.

Don't feel bad just say no!

Yeah! I said no to my nosy a$$ landlord!

but if I don't accept she will tell people that ..lol and she will ask me about it next time she sees me...

I tried to see if there was a way to block specific people from seeing different parts of your profile but I can only seem to find general settings

[Sprailenes 47]

Limited profile settings.

I would just tell you are rarely on and didn't see her request.

[Marilyn. 340]

never mind I found it

I blocked her from seeing my status ..lol

I am really tired of seeing the ad on VJ for immigration DNA testing

Good morning! What a terrific night we had last night. Fantastic weather, wonderful seats for the game, great game, and such beautiful friends to watch it with! Life is good. We won the game. Got some news yesterday that has me worried about renewing my DL. I thought I would go next week and do it, and it seems I may have to get down there today at opening in hopes it will get to me by it's expiry date next Friday! UGH!! I'm not going to get too ramped up...yet....but man oh man...if there is any delays in getting my license, I'm going to be screwed! Will let you know later this morning.

Enjoy your day!

good morning everyone. i see carla has the coffee ready again

[trailmix 77]

Hope all goes well with your license renewal Carla! That is lovely coffee this morning!

Good morning all!

We actually went and changed the address on our licenses yesterday. So we saunter up to the counter and present our licenses.

Mike's license had the corner cut off in Florida, when he got his FL license. She looked at it and said - what happened to this - Mike told her - she said "if you get pulled over and give them this license you will get a big fine".

I said "that is why we are here". I just knewwww that they would say something about it (like we had any say in the matter) - yes please chop the corner off my AB license so the registry clerk can lecture us. I was obviously not in the mood.

So I said, yes, that is why we are here (I believe the look on my face was - so shuddup now )

I then said, that is just the way they do it there.

Now whyyy, if he did get pulled over, would he give them his AB license anyway?? He also had to have his picture taken, because now, if you wear glasses, you have to take them off for the picture.

Apparently I look the same as I did 2 years ago because she said I didn't have to redo mine.

License offices are soooooooooo........... geesh! As if he'd be giving an AB officer his OLD license. And I truly doubt he would get a fine anyway even if he DID!! Tickets are discretionary.

Anyway, thanks for the well wishes on MY license renewal...it did NOT go well at all. I had quite a heated arguement with the lady at the license office. She insists that she, and she said the dreaded "they" will not accept the NOA1 of the I-751 Receipt Notice, clearly saying that this letter serves as a one year extension of my conditional resident status...NO...she says, they now have to have a "sticker" on my GC. I said, I was just down for my biometrics two weeks ago, and mentioned that I had to renew my DL and they did not tell me I needed, nor did they give me a "sticker". She basically said..."tough"! She said, no sticker, no renewal. So, I argued and folded my papers up noisily, and left. Came home, and made an innfo pass appoinment for 11:00 a.m. this morning, to go get my "sticker". I have a strange feeling they're going to tell me to tell her...blahblahblah...

This is not going well. The lady at the license office also said she KNOWS they do this, as she's had three people in that had to go to the office to get this done, like me, and they got the "sticker". I asked for her name, business card etc. so that I could have an IO call her if she needed clarification and she refused. I was livid. I left. Wish me luck at 11:00 a.m. The saga continues....

Oh blah!

Yes, I can see him/her telling you to go back to the DMV and tell them blah blah blah as well.

Well hopefully, maybe, the IO will give you his/her contact info or something to take back to the licensing office, good luck!

Good morning everyone! It's Friday! I'm off to the DMV again this morning. Check out the Vent thread about my latest visit to USCIS for an infopass appointment. If I don't get my license today, I guess I'll be making an appointment with my State Representative.

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!
