we got ours in 82 days, but having said that theres still afew others here that havent got their NOA2s back yet either, at least you know your not on your own but I guess that isnt much help. You could always get in touch with your local Congressmans office. Thats what we did and afew others here. They can at least find out for you where you are, give you piece of mind that your actually there and they havent forgot about you.......maybe all your files are together in a ....dum dum dummmm "box" and they havent picked that one up till last????? Just a thought/idea...but Id maybe get in touch with the congress....fingers crossed for you that it arrives real soon.

thanks Princess. i'll have Joe call and see whats what. i know i'd read a few others had done it as well. silly that we actually have to go to that extreme. but it's the gov't, i hadn't expected this to be easy peasy either.

ya, i'm a high ranking police officers daughter and Joe is in the US Army. so needless to say our background checks are spotless. while he has been previously married, a certified and stamped copy of his decree was also in our original packet. so really, it would have been a "lets read their story. ok looks legit." and pass it along sort of deal. i just don't get the hold up. :wacko:

Lohninck, I was hoping for great news. I will be needing my midget back soon, sorry. I'm truely hoping you get it tomorrow. Cum on VSC.

:lol: I'm getting one hell of a use out of him for now. I promise you'll get him returned to you soon enough in "fair condition." He's a bit far from a "like new" status at this point.. sorry.

Lohninck, has he been rode hard and put up wet? He can hold his breath longer then you think. Please don't use the phrase "used" in front of him. He's sensitive.

All this talk of wedding plans. Hmmmm. I might go to extremes. Bathing, shaving my back, brushing my teeth. Might even put on long pants for the occasion. I might even let Vika wear something besides saran wrap. Saran wrap does make for some good photos though.

UK, sounds like your wedding is going all natural. I'm torn between wearing my ghillie suit or just plain naked. I don't want Leslie being the only naked one there. Don't want her to feel uncomfortable.LOL.

Sorry. He has indeed been through a lot, but I'm very nice to him. My Mom is a caterer and I've learned a lot of her dishes, so he gets tons of good food passed through his cage. I change his water every other day. He seems to like holding my mirror for me when I'm trying on make up, too.. can I buy him off of you? I kinda like him too much.

Oh, any word on that donkey, by the way? They're my favorite animals, so just curious!
