@Looky--Letting you know we are still out here and thinking of you. Have read over your recent posts and sorry to see the recent run of "challenges." Yes, you are right to keep mum about details (e.g., interview date) which can place you or your fiancee at certain times/days/specific circumstances. The scamming and other previous troubles may be purposely directed at you/Loreta or just a "run of bad luck" or any combination these factors. Whatever the case, prudence dictates caution. In most part, still praying strongly for Loreta's improved health and for a successful interview appointment. Take care, Looky. --RK and Inday

RK congratulations on your big wedding and all!!! It wasn't purposely directed at us but we fell into a trap and they smelled vulnerability. This place she was previously living at was sort of a community building and lots of shady things going on there, and we believe someone that she thought was her friend was in on this. They smelled money and ganged up on us. While she was unconcious in Germany somehow they knew everything about us and got me to believing she was really sick and needed money, cause they knew I was desperately looking for her and she was unconcious and/or lost her memory and they were taking advantage of her situation and got my international phone number and all, probably from her phone.

Anyway I think that crazy stuff is over. She's living in a much nicer area and apartment. I'm not receiving those calls anymore from Cyprus phone numbers that kept changing every week and all.

At this point I'm just waiting for her to be completely over her pneumonia, so about two weeks more. I did write the embassy when this happened and mentioned that I would be asking for another interview date when she was over this.

Thanks for the support RK, no worries she and I will get through this. Take Care.

This thread will now be colliding against the new March thread. Finally Loreta has been getting completely off her pneumonia. Since Tuesday I was wondering if the embassy was ignoring us? But this morning we got a new interview date, 5 weeks +/- off in the future but thank you so much to the CO and all at the embassy!!!

Just a quick note to let you know that the tornado hit near here but not on top of us. Thankfully it landed on the strip instead of in a residential area, and we had no fatalities in town, though some homes were destroyed. It hit really close to where Stuart works, but about 10 minutes away from where we live. I checked out the damage yesterday, it's incredible, there's hotels missing walls, a brand new restaurant that is missing it's entire side, my grocery store's parking lot is a huge pile of rubble, and I think it will be a while before it reopens, if it can. Crazy, but we're safe...

Oh thats too close to home Thea! I'm glad it missed you both, and the residential area. I've been hearing about tornadoes out mid west and south. Hopefully they go away soon when the season finally turns to Spring.

Yeah another countdown but we're ok and more determined than ever to get thru this. Its actually a bit easier for us these days now that I got her this international sim card cause now we can talk pretty much every day. I just realized there's a pneumonia vaccine these days, and we're both eager to get her that.

Thanks Looky, the storms are to the East of us and a little north. We're not really in a tornado ally here, and they're very rare when they drop down on us here.

Hi guys and gals. I haven't been around that much, well a few of you know Dante was here in Lima, now he's gone. But unfortunately our journey has ended, or at least for now. We had a few problems when he was around, and decided to give us some time to re-think about some things... So I guess is a goodbye for now, I've deactivated my fb account so I can't put any on the group there (this way I avoid haters telling "I told you so" and bs like that)

But I wanted to thank you all for your support and for just being there. You are awesome people and I wish you the best :thumbs: I hope this is not an absolute good bye, just a see you later... but only God knows nowadays...

I feel devastated as you all can imagine, but I guess is for the better, to have this kind of "separation" today, than later...

Geor OMG this is a shock, hopefully this is only a temporary argument between you too. Its very true that relationships must go thru the ups and downs to become stronger. Best wishes to you and hope you can resolve the issues and we hear from you again. (F)

You too Andie stay safe over there in NZ. I'm in the North East, away from all of it. I'm hearing whacky things 72 tornado touch downs reported yesterday, around Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee and crumbled houses and buildings everywhere. I heard they found a 2 year old alive in the middle of a field somewhere and they have no idea where from. They say the worst of the tornadoes are probably over but could be more today.

Hi Looky, Things are sounding better... yes, I didn't think about the vaccine - great.

We are still stumbling along on opposite sides of the world... I think we are gettng closer to our new petition. We have had so many delays caused by outside influences/complications. Hoping we are on the move very soon. I have had time to put into renewed paperwork etc. so here's hoping it will be on its way shortly. It's now over a year since we saw each other, so its not easy.
