Haha tell me about it. Most men don't like going grocery shop with women cos it's a long process my husband is the same. He has of course stopped moaning cos he doesn't want me giving him what for when he opens his mouth lol.

I like to take my time especially when I know the food I may be buying could potentially kill me lol. Have to read the label and ingredient in everything I buy too scared of getting ill here in this country so much processed and toxins in the food.

Yes Atlanta is a long waiting time. Oh well at least we can work while we wait.

I been doing the practice tests for Georgia online to go sit the computer test next week. So far so good hopefully the real test is similar to the practice.

Am in smyrna where abouts are you? You found a job yet?

HAHAHA! You are correct. I always threat him no food if he complain one more time but he will proceed on teasing me more..lol.. He has hard time understanding why I need to read all labels or check all parts of an celery :rofl:

Do not worry about the test they are almost identical to the practice test. Actually 3 of the practice test sign questions came out in my test. Its two parts exam one for general driving/road/traffic rules (I forgot the name of the category) and part 2 is the sign questions, each part has 20 questions a total of 40 questions. I got the sign questions perfect but missed 1 for the general questions, this part is more tricky some you can't find in reviewer but its the basic road rules; some answers were very obvious.

I'm in Smyrna too, town of Vinings. Right now we trying to get pregnant so looking for job is not a priority but I might try to look for part time one if I really really get bored..lol..so far enjoying the housewife role and destroying our front and back yard..lol..Its good to finally just be home. Work back home burnt me out.

Hey topoftherock

Looks like New York is slow just like Atlanta. We have already accepted we are in it for the long haul to do AOS interview. Oh well EAD and AP will suffice for now. Any news on Job yet? Or your traveling back to England first before jobs?

Well hello neighbour

I am just at spring road side right next to winnings as a matter if fact we are looking to move to the vinnings just cos I liked the houses and the area better. That is so cool that we are neighbours am at jasmine apartments right now.

Yes the driving seems easy getting a passing score so far with practice every day I just hope the same questions come up lol.

Wow Nurseling we really are just a stone away..lol..We buy our international groceries at International Farmers Market that is along your road, baking and other stuff at Krogers, my hubby lunchmeat and milk etc at Publix and meats and other stuffs at Costco ( that's one of his complains sometimes 4 grocery stores in a week..lol..). I know I'm a little bit crazy as to where to buy certain stuffs :-) We are in one of the neighborhoods along Oakdale Road off Highland Parkway and South Cobb Road.

Im sure you will do great in your exam. I was a bit nervous when I took mine too. Sign questions definitely the same you will ace that and you will do the same for the other part

I haven't even applied yet...I hope I'm not in for a shock in the job search. I hear Manhattan jobs are tough to get. I'm studying at the moment, my exams are in july/Aug so I'll be busy until then. I can't work in my field without passing :(

I'm heading to London this weekend :):) so so excited!! Already booked in afternoon tea and a drinking session at the local pub!

Did you accept your job offer?

Good for you vbtwo..I was not, have to make sure that I get the answers correctly even if I know the answers by heart before looking at the choices. Have to make sure I click the correct box..my husband said Im a bit OC..lol..We are allowed to have 4 mistakes only. What was good though I know right away if I got the answer correct after every question. I can only relax after answering all the first 16 questions correct, that means I passed the test... :dancing:

Wow I know where your talking about. Am always at the farmers market it's healthier than buying veg and fruit from publix. Like you we do the farmers market and krogers for things that aren't veggie and fruits.

Isn't it a small world we live in. Imagine we just down the road from each other.
