Ok- Well Lisa.... I have been to Jordan twice- Oh and once again lastnight in my dreams! LOL! Umm- twice in four months! It was FANTASTIC both times... I have never felt sooo safe and looked out for! My husband and his many brothers would definately take on the masses to protect me--- It was funny on my second trip there... Went to Egypt...It was amazing, and smelly-sorry kids-I'm a bit snobbish when it comes to smells! ANYWAYS, we decided to save some dinar while we were still in Jordan and waiting for the ship to take us to Egypt. We slept out under the stars in the harbor in Aqaba! My husband and his brother were right there with me EVERY second-minus when I was in the WC! LOL! Then hubby was standing there waiting for me to get done with the morning rituals of potty! LOL!! ANYHOO, I never heard two men cluck sooo much at everyone else! Somone would brush me with their luggage and one or the other of my "body guards" would start that incessant clucking till they made room... what is it with the clucking?!

STAR---I can TOTALLY 100% relate to most family issues... I have a sister still not speaking to me, who calls and when I answer the phone she hangs up! GRRRR! Stay strong and Rest easy-- your time is coming...

And Jackie and Lisa and everyone else sitting on the couch== TECHNICALLY I'M still here! Still no sign of the passport, but I am hopeful it will be soon!

"you fondle my trigger then you blame my gun"

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

You know it's bad when you're having ice cream and cookies for dinner. The other night my dinner was an ice cream sundae with chocolate and vanilla ice cream, magic shell, hot fudge, reddi-whip and m&m's.....as I was finishing my bowl, I told my mom "I think I'm already not feeling well" to which she died laughing. Then tonight I had girl scout cookies for dinner :unsure::innocent:
