I had metal skates too, hand me downs from my sister, mine did not fit over the shoe mine had the boot built in and they where white.(they were way to big LOL) I still remember the sound they would make when I would skate down the road.

ching chong ching chong ching chong.... my girl said "ching chong!!

I feel you, I had the "white high-top boot-type" skates also, everyone use to call me

"pinky tuskadero" wearin' them hot azz skates. (I was the only one that had snow white high top skates), every one else had the metal strap on type.

We lived near a hill and I had the bright idea to skate down that damn hill.....well what do you think happens when you combine metal skates, black top, and high speed??? NUMB FEET LOL

Oh and I had a pink bike with a banana seat LOL

well as for UNO, I had a pink "Huffy" customized with revving handle bars, a red siren and a basket on the handle bars to boot .

I told y'all, I was truly "hood rich B) " and did not know it.

I did not live in the jungle but I did live in the mountains and we would always take off into the woods no one knew where the heck we were...gone all day...never occoured to anyone that an animal could have eaten us...

I never learned to ride a bicycle.

Bassi wants to teach me. He and Kay want me to join them on bike rides. I want to just get a big tricycle and call it a day. Why bother now?

The saying that "It is just like riding a bike" is a crock. The last few times I have tried to ride a bike, I have fallen off. I am used to back-pedaling to stop the bike not the handle brakes. So I back pedal first, then squeeze the front or back brakes then fall off.

I'm posting here, this is still the say anything thread isn't it ?

Well if not, sue me !

This immigrations process is getting the best of me and my husband .

This is the second time we've argued over NOTHING !!!

And I am soo very tired of it .

He's frustrated at how long it takes and asking me what are they doing with our petition,

like I know !

And I'm frustrated at explaining every little detail, every little p and q, and all of the money that goes into the process.

I am so tempted to just smack'em in the back of the head and he probably wants to throttle the hell outta me !

But, noooo, there's distance between us and I can't get to him and he can't get to me .

So we've agreed to take a breather for a while , and thats something else I'm tired of.

If we were face to face, after a good ole arguement ,

we could do some good ole fashion makin' up .

But, nooooo, theres distance between us .

Aw phuq !

Can y'all tell I am pisssssed ?

Okay, I am done for now .

Yes,,,,,,, I can see you are pissed off right now. Let it out girl. These are tough times, and your SO is probably the only other person, besides us, you can yell at and we won't tell you to give up. I only know our side of the journey, but I am guessing that he is getting pressure on his side and being asked a lot of questions about his departure. Scream, cry, whatever. Now I am going to be snarky so don't take offense to it. OK????

But when he arrives and you are tired of his behind hoggin' your closet, taking the sheets on a cold night, or the nooky when you are tired thing; remember how badly you wanted this process to end. It is like pregnancy, you can't wait for the baby to come and after those first weeks of a colicky baby, you wish you could put it back inside of you so you can get some rest. So..... are you still mad at him?

[Simply_Uno 1]

Chis,

I have stated it before, you are sooo very intuitive .

(damn, I had to catch myself from crying right then, ahem) moving on...Yes, he is being asked all of the time about his departure , he sent me an email this morning and told me that he is thinking about turning off his cell phone due to all of the questions , but he needs to keep it on due to his family and when I call. So technically, he is screwed either way .

But when he arrives and you are tired of his behind hoggin' your closet, taking the sheets on a cold night, or the nooky when you are tired thing; remember how badly you wanted this process to end.

And as far as the aforementioned statement, I'll take the first five years of that with no problem ,

but after that....

"let the games begin and I'm ready to ruuuummmmmbbbbblllllle" about my sheets.

so yeah, I feel a bit better

[Bassi and Zainab 1]

Bassi doesn't talk much to anyone about leaving Ghana. We both worry a little about haters. But I imagine he's definitely tired of hearing people ask about me. Sometimes he'll say, oh I saw this person or that person and they say they haven't seen you in a while and wonder where you are. These people are one step above stranger but remember seeing me around the area and knew we were a couple. I generally blend in with the natives except as my new family says, I'm always looking all around which shows everyone I'm a foreigner. Really I'm just nosy. I also have a heart for babies, so I connected with a lot of women with infants and toddlers and he says that he'll be on the bus going to work and women will ask him about his wife. He never fusses, but I imagine it gets to be a bit much after a while. But Bassi is probably the most patient person I know. He is exactly my opposite.

When Inusah and I started this absurdly long process he did not want to tell his family. His older brother went through this a few years ago and seeing all the inquiring minds asking when this and that is going to happen turned him off to telling people what we were doing. I told my parents and sisters only because they are not the kind to keep asking questions and a little later he told his mom.

It was when I went home between the NOA1 and NOA2 that people started seeing that we were a couple and when we officially got engaged but I don't think he actually told his siblings about what was going on until after we got the NOA2, partly because when I called to tell him he was with his brother and the cat was out of the bag

When we were waiting for all this to happen we did not talk about the process. The separation is hard enough to deal with without wondering about immigration and when the papers are going to get through.

Hang in there Uno

Hello Charles. Nice of you to stop by

[Simply_Uno 1]

I really thank you guys for the encouragement .

I just sent him an email telling him "I am not that strong" .

And sometimes, I just want to scream at the top of my lungs .

You know, just to relieve some pressure ,

but my kids might think I'm crazier than ever .

So I wont be doing thaaat

So, now that I have got that off of my chest, I'm going to read Joyce Meyers book, "me and my big mouth" and see what lessons I can learn.

And again, thanks for everything, I really don't know what I would do with out you guys><
