Brother Ryan beat me to it, but what a great thread, and an asset where it is now in OT -- thanks, Teddy, for starting it! Spooky, are those well-done rodents all named "Muerta Mouse"? They remind me of one of Ecuador's chief dishes:

http://noqinecuador.blogspot.com/2006/04/cuy.html

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

***I'd like to point out that it IS a current event, as it happened yesterday. Can't get a whole lot more current than that. And the discussion has been every bit as serious as any other topic in this forum. (which isn't very after about page two) It's also a HST as several of the good folk here have come together and shared ideas (downright SOCIAL of them if I do say so myself), plus the darn thing cooks at up to 375 degrees... can't get much HOTTER than that, I'd wager.***

Speaking of food, what I wouldn't give for a Gyro with a side of fries right now.

How about some Fried corn bread ( the kind with crispy edges", Mac and Cheese gooey and hot, Fine cut collards slow cooked with some fat meat with some pepper sauce on them, Field Peas, Homemade Potato salad like the old church ladies use to make, Biscuits with cane syrup, some fresh caught fried Catfish, Thin sliced fried Pork Chop or Slow hickory smoked Pork loin

Finish it off with Peach or Blackberry cobbler with home made vanilla ice cream

Sorry in advance GandD

Well nice try Teddy. The title doomed you as did your call to lets have fun and be nice. Way to plain and non inflammatory

Remember the thread I started that went something like this - The thread about Guns, Religion,Immigration, Race, Obama ,your own life, any event you may deem current and worthy.

It lasted for ever

or you could just do like everyone else and post random observations in my who should be a mod, my very old thread.

Absurd really. I mean it's our home, and most of us have been here a long time and consider each other friends, even if we do zing each other from time to time. Like the other day when I asked about what Tab to buy. Heck I talk to you clowns more than my own friends, so why not.

Nice Job Ryan. I am sure it will greatly improve our collective VJ experience, even though Teddy nicely asked you to leave it for us. You are the man

Geebus!

I posted a thread for us to talk about the current events and social topics of our daily lives in the Current Events and Hot Social Topics forum. How does that not fit in that forum??

I have sent a pm to Kathryn requesting that the Mods consider moving this thread back to CEHST.

Good, I was thinking about doing the same. I understand the need to not have certain materials or words not posted, but good grief, your topic was more on topic and relevant than many of the threads in CHEST, many of which I started LOL. What could it possibly have hurt to leave it alone, as requested ? The exact kind of action and nonsense , that we thought all the reaching across the aisle and honest peaceful discussions had ended.

Geez guys, I would figure that people having fun and getting along would make your jobs as Mods a bit easier. Does people discussing the current events and social aspects of their lives not fit into the Current Events and Hot Social Topics forum?

And T-Bone, how does a split thread which you started titled "Marvin's potentially good news" get put in CEHST and allowed to thrive there, while this thread gets bounced? Is this not a "personal thread"?

(Marvin, I love ya man, but I had to point this inconsistency out)

Hopefully reaching out to Kathryn will help. The Mods have been very reasonable up til this point.

It darn sure makes it a lot harder to attack a mans absurdly bizarre librul point of views on guns unprofessinally, after you have discussed double daddy deep fat fryers with him :)

Dude, food will bridge almost any gap. It's the universal language that everyone speaks.

I use to have a deep fryer. my landlord told me it didn't belong in my apartment. then he moved it next door. I can still use it if I go to the neighbor's apartment. :(

Bet it just doesn't feel the same over there and you don't venture over too often. :(
