voluntary work gone wrong!

[Adam M 0]

Hi folks.

OK, so I took on a voluntary project for a lady to help her move some animals cross-country. Long story short, the trailer she wanted me to tow for her was not roadworthy (i.e. illegal) and I decided not to go ahead with it for that and a variety of other reasons.

I sent her an email, to which she replied. She says:

I am forwarding your email to INS so they can see for themselves what type of person wants to stay in this country. We don't need another rude and obnoxious immigrant in this country. Do not attempt to email me again or I will also forward that on to the INS.

This is me just in paranoid mode, but the USCIS aren't going to do anything, are they?! I honestly wasn't rude or abnoxious (I had my wife check it over before I sent it!).

Any support or input on this is appreciated!

Don't worry about it!

What a horrible lady!

I'd send one back saying you're reporting to her to the Department of Transportation for having unroadworthy vehicles. Should keep her quiet!

Ignore her INS comments.

Tell her to go ahead an send it to the INS. Hasn't been an INS for over 3 years.

What did you say to her that she thought was rude and being rude is not a crime or I would be on death row. LOL

Adam, you sound like *just* the kind of person I want staying in the country. Good on ya, and blow her off.

Call the animal welfare and the DMV and report her inhumane azz.

It is *so* pathetic how people will grasp for the one thing they think they can lord over someone else. Call the INS. Sheesh.

how ungrateful of her after you offering to help!!!

Wanna share with us what 'smokies' are? LOL.

[broma25 2]

Arbroath Smokies are a type of lightly smoked small haddock – a speciality of the town of Arbroath in Angus, Scotland.

Genuine Arbroath Smokies are prepared using traditional methods dating back to the late 1800s. The fish are first salted overnight to preserve them, then left tied in pairs to drooth (dry). Next, the dried fish are hung in a special barrel containing a hardwood fire and covered with a lid. After around an hour of smoking, the fish are golden brown and ready to eat.

The preparation of Smokies remains a cottage industry in Arbroath, centred exclusively on the harbour area, known locally as the fit i'the toon (foot of the town). They are exported worldwide.

The small fishing village of Auchmithie, located a few miles north of Arbroath is the historical home of the smokie. In 1705, the fisherfolk of Auchmithie began to move south into Arbroath. This was due to the efforts of Arbroath Council, to save Arbroath's ailing fishing trade. Arbroath town council encouraged the fishermen and their families to the town by allocating land on which they could build. By the 1920's the majority of the fisherfolk of Auchmithie had moved to Arbroath where they formed the core of the town's fishing industry.

When the fisherfolk of Auchmithie moved to Arbroath they brought the secret of the smokie with them.

In 2004 the European Commission registered the designation "Arbroath Smokies" as a Protected Geographical Indication under the EU's Protected Food Name Scheme, acknowledging its unique status.

I wrote back to her, by the way. All I said was:

The INS no longer exists, and you should instead send your email to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). I'm sure they will be pleased to see their immigrants making a positive contribution to American society through voluntary projects.

Good. What is the email address of the uscis anyways. With the flood of emails they receive, is anyone going to listen. She will have to make an infopass appointment, take a day off work, go through security and stand in line before she can even speak to a consular and tell what. Rural folks are so naive
