they really went overboard with this one, especially since they all seem ready for marriage after a few months of online dating and not meeting in person, or wanting to elope the minute they meet.

I really do hope most of them are paid actors or just in it for the exposure. Especially since many seemed to be being used for immigration purposes, like a guy that met this Filipino woman that has only dated Americans and annoyingly calls him ''love'' instead of his name. 

I thought it was a bad idea to keep all of your eggs in one basket.

 

 

Oh they are definitely  not all in that one basket

it does annoy me how they make the VISA like a tryout VISA, which is completely ridiculous. 

but dammit they're entertaining to watch, they make me feel better about my life, for sure! 

lol I'm all up to date now!  Oh wow... I kind of want to check out the lady with the Dutch kid.. lol

 

Oh yeah, I feel super normal after watching these shows lol it's an ego booster!

We were out geocaching today, or rather out doing maintenance on my geocaches and then finding a new one that was placed this month...10 miles down a dirt road in an old Scandinavian community.

 

I hid a new one that my husband made for me.  It is the trunk of last year's Christmas tree, hollowed out enough for a log in a tube and then closed with magnets.

Did you get a picture of it? I'm genuinely interested.

 

I had my hair trimmed and eyebrows waxed into some kind of order

 

Redneck decided we (just us 2) should go away for Thanksgiving so we have booked a few days in Destin FL  😀- stepdaughter always goes to her grandparents and frankly we're in need of a break from MIL!

 

Edit to add we met once before starting the visa process, several more times during it but only once for 4 days before

Oh my.. I hope it's OK that laughed at this. If you need recommendations on that wine will hit the spot once you are back from chauffering Ms. Daissy, I have a few recommendations. If not, we can always go for the hard liquor!  I know I would need it if I were you.

 

It is funny, at least I thought so. She is meant to have given the management of the place over, but she still hangs on.  It is driving the people who are meant to be doing it now a bit mad, as you don't know for sure everyone is on the same page.

Fortunately for me, the very people involved in this latest go round were actually there, doing a bit of gardening and general cleaning. They had already put down a footstone, and it is in the right place, and it was all done and dusted 19 years ago. So, she sold them the plots, but doesn't recall having done it. She's correctly recorded the transaction at the time, and they appear on the map, and on the master list.  She has gone out there years ago, flagged the area and directed the stonemason's placement, and can't remember it all. In effect, there was no actual reason for today's little jaunt.  Great Aunt Malvena is sorted. For eternity.

How's that possible. A redneck communicating to a Brit in English, is like a Spanish man and a German woman communicating in Polish...

ah she seems fun! and I loved the step dad's honesty: what's in it for you? you're out of her league! not sugar coating it not even a bit  

haha yeah, I thought that a Mexican tattoo artist and a geeky school coordinator (haha, us!  ) was an odd pairing, but these couples...

So he didn't take a picture either, but it looks like this:

 

 

I attached one of the other ones I put out today.  That purple part unscrews and inside is a log to sign.

We are definitely doing whatever we can, e-request, Congress. We will call more often and see what happens.

I can only imagine how bad your consulate was, I know Juarez is no walk on the park but geesh. I am so happy she is a ciudadana now after all the struggle! you guys deserve it.

We're counting the days until we can exult along with you, si D2 ma'am.
