Dee & Squitto -- Good Luck today Ladies (L)

Jill -- Well, at least you got a vacation. Keep us updated on the baby.

Jonesie -- Yeah!! Friday is a good day. That's when we were going to do it. It's our 2 year anniversary....but, we decided to wait until 3/3. What are your plans?

Rhonda -- It's looking like 3/3. He got his ring yesterday -- I got mine on Saturday. I am trying to pick between three. I keep putting them on and taking them off. Hopefully I can make a decision by then.

(L)(L)Happy Valentines Day (L)(L)

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO OU AND YOURS.

Enjoy this day.

I do not wish to share any information about this dead end journey.........I have reached my final destination on this train, and it is time for me to get off.

THIS TOO SHALL PASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"If marriage means you fell in love, does divorce mean you climbed out?"

"You never really know a man until you have divorced him."-Zsa Zsa Gabor

"When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife." Deuteronomy 24:1-2

"When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on." - Franklin D. Roosevelt

"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us." - Helen Keller

"Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?" - Mary Manin Morrissey

"I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much." - Mother Theresa

Hey! I haven't been on in a while, so I'm just seeing this now. But Michael and the baby are great. We have another ultrasound in the end of March - we're hoping to find out the sex.

Our NOA1 date is 1/3 - our EAD was touched on 2/9, so I'm hoping for SOMETHING soon.

Hope you, Andre, and the puppies are doing well (L)

----And HI to everyone, Happy Valentine's Day!!

Hi Julie! How is Michael? How is the baby doing?

What is your NOA date? Hopefully you will be right behind us :thumbs:

Hey ladies,

Tony got summoned for Jury Duty! :o And it's scheduled during our trip to Punta Cana! So anyway, I called to postpone it or whatever and I asked the lady if he is eligible since he's NOT a U.S. citizen. She said NO, he should have never been summoned. We filled out a questionaire a few months ago and the first question was "are you a U.S. citizen" are we answered NO. She said there's been a lot of mistakes lately. It happened to another guy and he spent a whole day downtown before they realized he shouldn't have been there in the first place! :angry:

So just so you all know, in case this happens to you, NON-U.S. citizens do not have to do Jury Duty. At least that's the way it is in Michigan. Tony will be very relieved when I tell him. He really did not want to do it.

Congratulations and best wishes to all the newlyweds today and this week!!

I'm also thinking of the women here holding it down while they are waiting for their husbands/fiances to find suitable jobs. Some of you are working OT or 2 jobs or more and in addition some are taking care of children or other family members. My hats off to you because I know it's not easy.

And I didn't forget about the women whose husbands/fiances are still in Jamaica awaiting visa approvals-my thoughts are with you too today as I know it's not easy to be without the ones we love on this day.

If anyone is feeling lonely today for other reasons that I have not listed; much love.

(L)(L)(L)
