Stresstabs: 6 pack of budweiser,lol oh wait, im a nursing student, stay away from the bud

:lol:

Blech, budweiser! What are you mad, man? When did you become an American?!!! Oh wait..... never mind. :blush:

Nope not an American yet!! Didnt have the oath ceremony!! And in my mind, Will ONLY be Canadian!!

tee hee.. Flames did you tell the folks back home of said citizenship? I'm just wondering, cause if i do go for citizenship, i'm thinking of just hiding it from my family & friends back home.. they've threatened me within an inch of my life if I even entertain thoughts of becoming a citizen of the US :P

oh and i just tried something new for lunch - vegetarian fair of some kind.. looked like a portobello mushroom topped with corn & veggies.. and it tasted like the side of a barn.. blech.. thankfully I also bought chocolate :P

I actually enjoy bud!! But im not fussy, anything cold is fine with me

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

lol.. *sigh.. we'll see what happens.. hubby's pushing for citizenship pretty hard, so I'll have to do more thinking on that one!

Yep.. lunch was disgusting.. i was proud of myself for trying something new.. but you can't win 'em all I guess!

I seriously LOLed when I read that! Then I wondered when you originally tasted the side of a barn to know that your adventurous fare was similar in taste? :unsure:

I hate when I try something new and its awful. The silver lining was indeed the chocolate. I'll need to remember that back-up plan. :lol:

Politics get people so hateful down here. I don't get it at all.

I know. I can't take it. I can't believe how dirty it gets. Spreading vicious lies, and worse, people stupid enough to believe the vicious lies, like that woman who was all confused and disbelieving when McCain corrected her about Obama being an Arab Muslim. *headsplode*

I was at the dog park yesterday, chatting with another dog owner--she stated on the way over to the dog park--a fellow drove up beside her, and just started screaming at her----because she had an Obama sticker on her car!! She said she was scared, as this guy was screaming, and telling her to go live with the terrorists!! weird!!

You mean you didn't savour the 'earthy' taste of the honking big mushroom??

I can't stand mushrooms....bah!

I had a salad for lunch, using le Canadian salad dressing. So I look at the bottle, best before Sept something. Like who cares lol - it was so good :)

My son saved up his allowance for an Obama shirt and I won't let him wear it without me around and we went out for dinner last week and some old lady told me I was "disgusting" for allowing my child to wear that.

I just told her to take a look in the mirror to get the true definition of disgust.

But being here during this election tells me just how far this country has to go when it comes to racism. It's a very racist place. Canada has its extremely racist areas too, but I think that its just more covered up, and that's not any better either. But something tells me that if Obama was running there, he wouldn't be faced with half of the obstacles he's being faced with here.

This entire election is just ageism, sexism, racism at its finest.

Donne moi une poptart!
