Hahaha! Don't you hate when that happens?! When you think you have a 'chocolate stash' and you go looking for it, only to find it vanished!!!! Grrrr! :( happened to me yesterday!

KitKat and Caramilk make the world more tolerable :) funny enough, both I have been unable to locate in PA :( I found Caramelo for now as a sub LOL!

I had to read the thread without the chocolate bar. :cry:

Don't buy the KitKats in the US. They're horrible.

Sorry for the hijack, DomeGirl. I have nothing to add to your thread other than I have read it and agree with everything everyone has said. Oh. Except if she is still comparing this relationship to the old relationship in a dog-with-a-bone kind of way then she hasn't gotten over the old one and will never be happy until she's happy with herself. Some people have to learn the hard way, though.

I agree with you there Krikit. It is a dog-with-a-bone kind of comparison and thats why i say she needs to look within herself before making plans to go anywhere with someone new. Then what happens when shes stuck in Jersey, alone, with no friends and the relationship possibly sours? Ah well, its definitely her life....we'll see how it all works out for her.

And believe me.. NO ONE and I repeat NO ONE wants to be stuck in NJ alone!

Like Nevada says, try to steer her clear of this state.

"...My hair's mostly wind,

My eyes filled with grit

My skin's white then brown

My lips chapped and split

I've lain on the prairie and heard grasses sigh

I've stared at the vast open bowl of the sky

I've seen all the castles and faces in clouds

My home is the prairie and for that I am proud…

If You're not from the Prairie, you can't know my soul

You don't know our blizzards; you've not fought our cold

You can't know my mind, nor ever my heart

Unless deep within you there's somehow a part…

A part of these things that I've said that I know,

The wind, sky and earth, the storms and the snow.

Best say that you have - and then we'll be one,

For we will have shared that same blazing sun." - David Bouchard

Not doing anything IS making a decision--to NOT do anything. If she gave a rat's behind, she WOULD do something. I'm betting she is the kind that somebody bails her behind out of every mess she makes. Just my two cents. I love this quote I read somewhere:

THERE ARE NO COINCIDENCES...THINK ABOUT IT, IT IS SOOO TRUE. Everything that happens, there is something behind it...think about it the next time something happens to you.

New Jersey?

Screw giving her advice on the visa process, how about telling her to choose another state. :lol:

:lol:

We had a friend have his GF come from Ireland to the US in October and got married in January. Of course their CR-1 was done by the end of April. :wacko: I mean, we're happy for them that is was short, but we're jealous at the same time they did it the "wrong" way and didn't have to wait in the black hole of USCIS/NVC for 13 months.

I've discovered this when I was about 11, and had to spend the summer in Seattle with my grandma while my parents travelled.

Ironically, I like their McDonald's filet-o-fish sandwiches better. Haven't decided about the fries, though.

domegirl1978, what's the update on your friend? has she upped & left Montreal already?

So this is the situation with their relationship. He is totally in love with her. I mean, truly. You can tell. He really is a kind, caring guy and I consider myself a good judge of character so I believe him when he tells me how he feels about her.

Have you tried talking to him about visas and collecting evidence?

I've informed the both of them. But he is SUPER busy with his work and trying to start a company. He's also been ill about 3 times in the past 6 months so I figured SHE would be the one to get on all that like collecting proof and whatnot. OH WELL. It's all up to them, not me. I already have enough with my own visa stuff and have no time to be baby-ing anyone thru the process. I've got my own stuff to get in order for my interview when i receive my packet 3 which should be coming to my house soon.

It was just a wee joke based on their name. I don't really know them. :P
