Good luck on your RN program, sounds rather hectic!

Why not,lol!! Volunteer for that, and I figure I'm golden and wil be left alone for the rest of the program! 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

Me either. She drives me batty - there are tons of recipe books at work with her and I just want to hide them behind the Rubbermaid containers.

RR irritates the ####### out of me too. And my brother gave me one of her cookbooks for Christmas last year so I actually have something of hers in my house. Would get rid of it, but D hates throwing things out.

So Flames, how did that rectal thermometer work out for you?

Counting down the hours (12 1/2!) till we head off to Montreal, woot. Only bad part, no VJ access for a week! :o

no need for a volunteer!!! I wore clean underwear as well!! lol They have life like dolls!! lol

Have a safe trip to Quebec!!

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
