The REAL Monday Thread

[cbd2cai 0]

Catherine, Catherine, Catherine...

Hey, we have 2 threads for the day now . . . so why not post in the old threads too??? It isn't my fault that I am too tired to stay up late enough to read/respond on the daily thread . . . much less start the next day's thread

I'll post this in BOTH daily threads.

I cannot believe anyonecares about the daily threads so much to make an issue of them - and this goes to both "cliques".

I love Mondays.... truly I do - not being sarcastic here! but I do find it a tad bit annoying when a thread consists mostly of 2 people chatting back & forth for a page or more.... boring for others to have to slog thru.... why not PM or chat? Leave the rest of us out of it..... k, thanks!

just to clarify - not if there's substance to the conversation.... it's annoying when it's just that CHIT CHAT like what did you do today? oh nothing - did you see that movie? no - oh, ok - how was the (insert daily blab)? - oh, it was ok..... yadda, yadda, yadda..... get the picture?

Aside from the real vs unreal Monday thread stuff, I'm hoping someone here can drop me a shred of assistance. I could swear I read somewhere that there is a list of USCIS accepted translators on this site, but I'll be darned if I can find it. I spent most of the weekend wading through AOS and my income taxes and I guess my wee brain is too used up.

Hope its warmer where you all are. Its bitter cold here today. Yuck. Come on spring!

We had a guy at the masjid translate it, and certify at the bottom that he was fluent in arabic and english, and that it was a correct translation of the birth certificate. Didn't have any problems.

Mornin

So far today's sucked. My 9 yr old decided to cop a major tude this morning and freaked when she find out that *gasp* I did not ask her what she wanted for lunch and made the executive decision to make her chicken noodle soup. Then she proceeded to hit my 10 yr old with a hairbrush right on her funny bone 'cause the 10 yr old called her a sumo-wrestler. (don't ask...I have no clue either).

Nice to be here in this quiet office with no one comin' up to me sayin' "mooooooooooooooooooom....she did this to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!"

Filed my taxes this weekend and the irs accepted them electronically and am hoping it doesn't really take the 8 days to direct deposit the $$ 'cause I wanna book my trip to Egypt already!!!

Contact your local consulate or an importer/exporter and ask if they have any suggestions (referral). Second option, google one. Anyone who is an official translator will have documentation ... "license" ... to support the translation service.

Example:

Google: official translation + Arabic + english + "Los Angeles"

I obtained lots of results. Some even listed USCIS and other official Govt translation services.

Nope..no day off for me It's freakin freezing!!!!!!!!!!! I'm wearing leggings under my jeans, two pairs of socks, two undershirts and two sweaters. #######!

Henia you need a ticket to California! Nothing but warm weather and sunshine lately.

Ye I'll take a rain check on the ticket to Cali, for a later date, when my haboubi is here Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut ye I lived there for years. I still miss it

Buuuuuuuuuut on a better note. Extremely cold weather is good for something:

All the schools are closed, so I get a day off. Woooooooooooohoooooooooooooo! Moody, you have the day off too?

I just hope they donnot cancel my appointment with my local (un)friendly INS officer. I wonder where they get these ppl from? DO they take a meanness test or is there a mean ppl bank somewhere? Hey, that would be a good thread: Stories of mean and crazy and rude INS officers.

OK, back to bed for a wonderful extra 2hours of sleep ..................
