I'm losing it; I can't take it any more.

It wasn't so bad until I looked at the date when I first mailed my I-130. It's now OVER THREE YEARS!!!! :blink:

Eric Cartman: "I'd kick 'em in the nuts!"

Funny, it's a different feeling now. I suffer, but it's a different kind of suffering versus when I was a total newbie and got the news from my wife's very first interview. Man, that was some intense stuff at the time. LOL

Ah, the good memories!

IMO this whole process has aged me... I have the patience of an 80 year old now...

Không có gì quý hơn độc lập tự do."

Tôi biết nó, thằng nói câu nói đó

Tôi biết nó, đồng bào miền Bắc này biết nó

Việc nó làm, tội nó phạm ra sao

Nó đầu tiên đem râu nó bện vào

Hình xác lão Mao lông lá

Bàn tay Nga đầy băng tuyết giá

Cũng nhoài qua lục địa Trung Hoa

Không phải xoa đầu mà túm tóc nó từ xa

Nó đứng không yên, tất bật, điên đầu

Lúc rụi vào Tàu, lúc rúc vào Nga

Nó gọi Tàu Nga là cha anh nó Và tình nguyện làm con chó nhỏ

Xông xáo giữ nhà gác ngõ cho cha anh
