If this were posted anywhere else, it might draw deprecating remarks. Brother Gary (of "and Alla") has just crossed over to the high side of 30,000 all-time VJ posts. Si, man.

I am so very envious.

A bit of an exageration I would say. 14 posts per day is hardly non stop VJ.

BUT, hey it is a great site and it is the only one I ever relied on and was very helpful to us. We have tried to "give back" something to others doing this also. Heck I did not even know there was a K-1 when I proposed to Alla.

And after 6years together, 5 years married, I can say if there is anything to be envious of, it is NOT my VJ participation but in a very successful immigration process and the adaption of a whole family to the USA. I can't take a whole lot of credit for that.
