I had to add my brief opinion on that poll - I love it - I don't care what other people think and I never visit that forum so I won't even see how many b*tch at me

Oh man... okay I cannot even post over in that other thread. For the record, Julez, I completely agree with you and others who pointed out that calling sexuality a choice is just weird. But people who think it is like that one conservative poster... they just make me so angry that I can't even enter into the conversation b/c I'll lose my sh!t and just start name calling!

Oh and also, this is totally unrelated, but Scott saw me on here the other day and commented that he absolutely loves the picture of your avatar. Then I realized he doesn't even know who Sam the Eagle is, but he just finds the picture brilliant!

I think this is a much safer poll to watch:

I usually stay out of the battles, but today I just had no tolerance for it and had to say something! That one girl basicall said, I'm a bigot and make no apologies for it. Ugh. That attitude sickens me.

I love that Scott loves my avatar! Just goes to show you Sam the Eagle is cool whether you grew up with him or not!!

Butter all the way baby!!

Plus, I am *thatclose* to getting my 5th heart!

Oh I think it's good to get in the battles and state opinions, I just personally think I'm a bad arguer and can't keep my cool when I find other people being ridiculously intolerant. I just wanna scream at them, "You are a stupid mofo!!!" when what's really needed are smart, rational comebacks.

Anyhoo, I'm off to see Sex & the City for the second time.

Then maybe we'll start packing.

We're going through some of that same happy/sad emotional stuff here too. We're going to head out as soon as the visa appears (either today or monday we think). We're staying at jeremy's parent's house. His siblings haven't said good-bye as far as I know. I find that weird. I have a feeling when we actually pull out of the driveway his mom is gonna lose it and start crying. That's going to make me cry too. We're both just so excited to be together finally after all this time it sucks to have the sadness component attached to it. I definitely have empathy for him & them because I'm homesick for my kids, dog and cat right now and I know I'm headed back soon. It doesn't help knowing that my part of WI is under water right now due to the flooding, ugh!!

I don't feel like I'm making much sense right now, but that's over-tiredness kicking in from all the driving lately.

*hugs* I don't know because it is hard for me to say - but maybe being in Canada it doesn't feel so real - I can imagine being that "close" it might not feel like you are going too far until you realise you can't go back whenever you want to... I may be wrong, being from the UK I can only guess what it is like to be in other countries.

My mum and I are very similar - we will both get teary and try and hold back and laugh at ourselves for being silly then reassure ourselves that we will see each other soon anyway and then she will go to work and that is it. She is going to call before I fly out though and I kinda wish she wouldn't - will be a bit like saying goodbye once in the morning then again in the afternoon...

As for my dad... well he is a big girl's blouse so he is going to bawl which will make me feel terrible - he is driving us to the station

After so long in the system you would have thought they would get it right...

You're right Jeraly, it's probably not quite the same since he/they can drive to visit. Being overseas i would be a much bigger production to plan a visit. It's funny that your dad is the emo one, lolol. That's cute.

The visa didn't arrive today so we're here for the weekend. I'm bummed.

That's just exactly how I feel.

Don't be too bummed; I know you are anxious to move him already, but 3 more days after all these months will be easy.

Yeah, I think you pretty much hit the nail on the head with that Aly.

It also feels extra weird to be told that they can't go home, just right over the border. His mom KEEPS asking if he can come visit this summer and we KEEP explaining the process over and over again. Then people get it in their heads that it is an exact 3 month countdown and they keep asking stuff like, "Is the 3 months from when you move? From when you get married?" And then I have to explain AOS all over again, and that it's not an exact science and that AP takes *approximately* 3 months, etc.

[Jeraly 4]

I don't think anyone is that concerned really because it is so expensive to go home that even with AP I might not be able to

Can tell most of us are Stateside now... even weekends aren't normally *this* quiet

Morning everyone. I got an email from CRIS last night to say that my EAD has been approved and card production ordered. Guess this means I'll have to get a job now.

[VisaJourneyLady 33]

Yay - good for you Muffin, now who is this Cris person, and how does he know that your card is ordered?
