The Rant

You'd think they would know how their own immigration process works, being that they work in "immigration".

Oh I can just imagine that. Left hand, meet right hand. Hey right hand where did you go, come over here a second. Ok Right hand I'd like you to meet.... Oh damn. Hey left hand where are you? Oh water main break again? Could you please come here for just a second, you can use my bathroom. I'd like you to meet, Mr R.... Oh #######, I give up.

I downloaded the app "Find my iPhone" and logged in using my husband's Apple ID and password. I told my husband that the app's map says his phone/wallet was on 4th and Wilshire. He replied, "That's where I am!"

He left Skype and I pinged his phone using the app. He came back online to thank me because he found his phone/wallet and all the cards and cash were intact. Actually, he did not leave it on the bus but in the conference room of his office. He said that he was too sleepy since he left home to recall anything.

To be honest... I never expect my husband to change and nor do I want to change him. He is who he is. I do, however, think he feels I've changed. Personally I think it's just stress... It's hard to be outgoing and fun when you have so much on your plate with all the immigration stuff. Combined with the stress of moving and leaving my daughter here, I'm a Debbie downer lately. I'd not want to be around me either.

Maybe you could get some sun, Niki. I'm sorry that you have to leave your daughter for now. What are your visiting arrangements once you move to CO? Are you gonna at least take your celery-loving kitty?

Here is how nighttime goes around here "Little one, time to brush your teeth!", an hour later, "husband, time to brush your teeth!"

I used to say that every single morning for months. Luckily he learned.

Calypso I think Kdh has the kitty. I have no kitty. Lol. I would like a kitty tho!

We do have visiting arrangements for Colorado. At least month in the summer (Canada kid summers are a month shorter... They're not until end of June), every second Christmas and most other holidays like fall and spring breaks.

Sorry about that! It's actually hikergirl who has a celery-loving cat. There's a Canadian flag under her avatar and she used to post in OT often so I kind of mixed it up.

Let's go post in the game forum so we can catch up to the post whores.

Oohpartiv - thank you. I plan on talking all the time, skyping and sending things like your mom did. I want to make sure she knows how much I love her.

Nola - We talked about it a lot, and had he not found his dream job he most likely would have moved up here. We wanted the best start we could have for our family. We would be moving either way. Either to BC or somewhere. I am really looking forward to moving to Colorado, but I'm trying to pare down my stuff to what I really need or want. I guess if we have a uhaul it won't matter, but storage there is. How you feel about Denmark is just a bit stronger than how I feel about Alberta. I only moved here in my early 20s because I didn't have any options.

RANT: When people make threads about sad, complicated problems they have (terminally ill spouses, denied cases, permanent bans, etc) and people post comments like "wow, that's really sad, but i have no useful advice to give you". SERIOUSLY?! Those people don't need sympathy, they need some good advice, and if you don't have any then you have no business posting in their thread!

At least that's not half as bad as replying in serious threads only with emoticons . Too bad neither type of replies violates the TOS.

Why at 3am does my room become unbearably hot? I'm cold going to bed, which is great, then 3am and I can barely breathe. Go away ghost that turns on the heat.

Close the vents in your room as far shut as they'll go, and set the heat one degree cooler than you have been, si man.

[indiana_sweetie 120]

You feel too warm because the bed warms up. Happens to me too. At least that's my theory.

he decided about an hour before the game that he wanted to invite people over

Es el trabajo del esposo, si man (it is the job of the husband, si man).

and cook a big lunch

Es el trabajo de la esposa, si ma'am (it is the job of the wife, si ma'am). It is my job to write in likely-fractured Spanish, sigh man.

I have no control over the heat in my home. Tonight I was cold. I bet at 3am I'll be boiling. Every vent in this suite except the one in my daughter's room is closed as tight as I can. I live in a basement suite.

This should be international law, with violation punishable by Great Bodily Death, zzz man
