I need to do that. I guess I took an unofficial break. Plus, Bassi opened the vaccination supplement from Dr. Arnold, so we had to send it out again. Luckily, she didn't charge the second time around. They're good people. I hope to get to it within the next two weeks. I feel bad cause his temp EAD is expiring in October and he just got info on a new job. I should've paid closer attention. He pretty much relies on me to take care of that stuff.

Thanks Olivia makes me feel less guilty

Inusah is going to apply for his SSN this week and then I think he is going to apply for jobs.

I found a place in Philly that will do the vacc. supplement for $25 so that made my day . I will have him go and get it done either today or tomorrow.

The ss card came pretty quickly here. I think he got it in about a week to a week and a half. I was surprised how quickly it arrived. What kind of work is he looking for? Bassi needs to join the union here to get work quickly. I think he may change fields. I'd love it if he did. I think the back breaking work can only go on for so long. As you get older you have to do something more sedate. I just can't imagine him doing office work though. How is Inusah about driving? Bassi is VERY nervous about driving here. He finds it intimidating and misses Accra!

I need some help with a bit of data. Does anyone know Igbo customs when you lose your parent especially if you are the oldest male ? My normal source of information is out of the country on summer holiday and I am clueless and really want to know. Joseph's father passed yesterday ( he was mid 70's ) I found out this AM as I was leaving the house and we were having our morning phone call.

[Ta Ta 1]

Sorry for your father in law passing away Sylvia.

I don't know specific Igbo customs but in a broader range I posted a link about death and funerals

in my morbid threat when I wanted to know where other's SO want to be buried. Many general African burial customs are detailed in that article.

Inusah is convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that he will never learn to drive in the US. According to hin it is too "organized". I would think it would make it easier to learn, but what do I know ? I got him the driver's manual to study so once he is done with that we can move forward with getting him a license.

As for a job, I'm not sure what he wants to do. We still have to look into that. He has done both manual labor and office work so I don't think he would have a problem doing either. I think he might do something different only because he is adventurous like that. Our priority right now is for him to start his Master's program (which reminds me, we need to get his degree evaluated).

Good morning!

I DREAD even looking at the AOS forms. They may as well be written in Latin. 0i !

[Ta Ta 1]

Good morning Naggie.

LL where are you ? Haven't seen you around.

Uno, yuk to the sewage link and to the fact that my fiance has eaten " bush meat " ( rat ) in hard times to survive on many occasions.

[Sylvia_n_Joseph 3]

I remember Jospeh laughing at my reaction to the rat meat in the market.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts. I am so confused by this. Right now I have no clue how he is expected to handle this. He said he is heading to the village to hold a meeting to pick a date for the funeral.
