The Vent - Part Trois

[Revenesque 2]

I hope you're able to get the visa and you/hubby into the US before your baby is born, that'd be pretty cool.

It would be, eh? :-) But I think at this stage, it might be a better idea for the baby to be born in Canada under the universal care. Plus I get up to a year of maternal and parental benefits. Baby and I will cross to the US after he/she will have gotten his/her US passport.

Thanks for the congrats, Sam, Rhiann, Wyatt, Darkchilde and others. I'm just thrilled right now. Hubby's now smiling like a dork to every parent with small kids on the commuter train, lol.

Maybe now you'll run into that creepy dude from a couple weeks ago and can say, "Look, buddy, I'm married and pregnant. ####### do you expect NOW?"

LMAO!

Oh and my hives are gone, but my husband walked in lastnight after bringing our son to hockey practice and he says: "Hey it smells like apple pie in here"

Glad it's gone, LOL. I cracked up at your story.

OMG

Some people just don't get it. I get a lot of emails that are suppose to go to other people. My email address is my name, and I guess it's very popular. I've gotten emails about people complaining about their lawyers, sensitive insurance stuff..

Anyway, some lady tried to email her daughter in law yesterday and it came to me. She ordered a really cute Jumperoo for her granddaughter and was forwarding the receipt to the DIL.

I kindly email her back and tell her she's emailed the wrong person, funny thing is, the person she's emailing is not far from where I'm moving.

Anyway, she apologizes and forwards me the email again. I've told her at least 5 times now she has the wrong person, and that she's probably missing a letter somewhere in the email address.

I wonder if she'll pick up the phone and call her DIL instead of just forwarding me all these emails.

On and CONGRATS Raven! Babies are so cute

Another slow morning in the Canuck forum!

VENT!!!

Photographers.

Okay, so i'm doing this freelance project and the company has given me a photo use. Fine. I set up the document and they've asked me to recolourize an item in the photo that was pink and to make it red. OKay. I do it. Turns out that the photographer is not happy with my colourization. Okay. I do it again -- just fool with the CMYK percentages and such.

THEN, we spend pretty much the entire morning going over his freaking photo credit and making sure that the PDF that I've created has a live link to his website on it.

God. NO offense to photographers out there but don't be such pompous Douchebags .

Thanks,

LGG

We're also planning on having our kiddo (in March) on the North side. I'm just concerned they'll assign us a March interview date at this point and that will kind of make things difficult travel-wise.

WOW, that is shocking to say the least.

Gee, that would suck if that happens. Does anyone know if you can change your interview date earlier or later if conflicts with the expected date of birth? BTW,

happy and safe pregnancy to you!

Neiks got her date changed because of pregoonancy!!! but then she had to wait quite awhile for another interview slot!

Congratulations.

Yes you can change it - whether later or earlier is up to them - I have never seen them take anyones circumstances in to account - maybe once. Basically you just go to the back of the line.

[trailmix 77]

Yeah, it was Neiks - this is the note she wrote about it

Original interview scheduled for Dec 22, 2006. Rescheduled due to birth of our son. Took 6 months and letter to senator to get a reschedule date.

Jeeez... That doesn't make me any more confident. I tried to get an escalation due to this situation, per some other folks - no dice.

Yeah, I don't care what the military claims... If a 20 dollar piece of software can allow you to intercept video from a multi-million dollar military surveillance unit - there HAS been a cost in people's lives.

Fining or firing isn't enough for this #######... People should go to jail.

No excuse in this era for not having security measures on digital intelligence.

I have heard, and correct me if I'm wrong, but there is NO reason save for deployment that can expedite getting an interview. I think if one of the spouses is sick, like on the death bed sick, that may be cause as well but that's about it.

It's too bad -- it's such a rock and a hard place, eh?

Good luck to all you happily pregnant folk out there !

I understand their predicament, but simply because you're dealing with a situation out of your control, adding 6 months to your wait time just seems a bit excessive. The more I deal with my own Gov, the more it makes my head hurt.
