Where is her visa going to be sent? Will they send it DHL to Grenada?

We leave for Moscow tomorrow night for the friday morning exam at the IOM. I will post the experience on monday.

Slim, I think DHL will send it anywhere in the world that you pay for delivery. We are going to end our Caribbean time together in Mid August and she is going to go back to her city, Barnaul and get the police report and anything else she needs. I am going to head back to Pittsuburgh and get my tax, I-134, financial, employment etc info together and DHL it to her. Then do some work on the house before she gets here.

That timing was about our original plans anyway. I was going to head home for a few months and take care of business and then if we had still been in A/R we would have returned to the Caribbean for a few more months.

Had we stayed in A/R long enough I think we would have bought property here and just moved here perminantly.

Maybe not a bad option, even being out of A/R. Pittsburgh (especially the Steelers...) SUCKS!!!!!

Just kidding. Had to throw some snow (soon, anyway) at the rivals. WHO DEY!!!! OK. All joking aside, if you have the chance to live in the Caribbean, why on earth would you want to live anywhere in the States?

What happened to the patriotic American "The States is the best country in the world!" attitude that's so typical for the locals here?

I love the U.S.A. and I'd defend it with my life against a foreign invader, but I'm probably the last person you'll see waving the flag and hyping up the "best country in the world."

That "best country in the world" stuff.... where were all those people on Sept. 10th, 2001? All the "proud to be American" and "best country" and all that, it was there, and there were proud people, but it wasn't advertised as hypocritically as it is today. Our "patriots" now have a magnetic sticker on their car. They love America because they have a ribbon. They're supporting the troops and opposing the terrorists........ and eroding our Constitution. Thanks, America.

Well for one thing it is hard to see the steeler games down here and I always enjoy watching the steelers beat the Bengals. For another you stand out like a sore thumb down here wearing your Steeler tossle cap and jacket and waving the terrible towel. I keep worrying they are going to lock me up in the looney bin.

I am not sure how good or bad out team will be this year with the new coach but one thing I can say for the Steelers is they always have the best fans in football. I have been to games in Cinci and even Kansas city with more Steeler fans than the local team.

Absolutely. I've been to "the Jungle" a few times where I thought I was going to get my @$$ kicked for not waving the terrible towel. It's pretty sad.

But, to demonstrate our "great fans" here in Cincinnati, opening day Reds tickets were selling for upwards of $400 for nosebleeds. The next game? $8. By the end of the season, they practically give them away.

Bengals games are always sold out, but as mentioned, there are usually more opposing team jerseys in the stands than orange and black.

Cincinnati sucks. Although, it is nice to be able to watch professional sports live and in person, and not too far from home. So, as long as we have a home team, I'll support them. But, only as whole-heartedly as the rest of the city!

Thank you!!! Yes, the team has the best fans possible, very loyal. And if anything, this season will at least be interesting with all new players and coach (boy, he is better be good! We could use some victory!)

And they always beat Bengals, always! (ha-ha, Slim! You ain't stand no chance!)

You guys are forgetting where Bengals head coach, Marvin Lewis, came from.....

Pittsburgh.

Without the 'stache and chin on the other sideline, really, it's going to be like the Cincinnati Steelers playing the Pittsburgh Bengals. Or something like that. Either way, Pittsburgh's best player will be calling the game.

Yeah yeah yeah, whatever... Once you put on black and gold, you are Steelers!!!! No way back. It's more than a team. it's more than a game. It's dignity, legacy, pride!

That is the worst part of being here, I am going to miss 2 or 3 preseason games. I do think the Bengals have made a lot of improvement and will give you a good reason to watch them. I am looking forward to the season but with less confidence about exactly how good we will or won't be.

Now you know how us Red Wing fans feel, go to a hockey game in phoenix and you see more winged wheels than coyotes. I cant talk football *sniff* Im a (cowardly) lions fan.

Oh, the horror. You're probably better off wearing a Bears or Browns jersey, as sorry as that is. I like Chicago, but I'd never, ever support Cleveland. It's a close second to Pittsburgh when it comes to football. Second to last, that is.

Last year I had an experience that let me apprectiate how rabidly loyal the fans of Pittsburgh are. I was in Atlanta and had an offer to go with some people to the preseason Atlanta - Ravens game. I was to meet them in front of a particular gate and they were late and I was early. I had to stand there for maybe an hour and a half. The whole time I saw TWO people in Ravens attire out of maybe 4000 or so that walked past me. Had that game been against the steelers it would have been just like the other away games I have been to even though it was pre season.
