Ok this is funny :lol:

I was just reading the paper and there is a section there where people write in to say what they are ticked off about or to give praise for something nice.

So I start reading this item in the ticked off part and i'm nodding my head going yes! - then I realize it's mine - I sent it a few weeks ago :lol:

Dear ~Nini~, I listened to the Citizenship Diary on-line.

A documentary about a British woman and her experience on naturalizing.

I love so much about it.

I especially nodded in agreement when she said that most highschool students cannot pass the citizenship test, and how W got stuck 4 times on one part of it.

Plus the unceremonial ways of it all.

Not to mention that those immigration bureaucrats that confuse the U.K. with Ukraine.

Bah!

Funny...and so so very sad.

A great listen.

Woo hoo Trailmix~ Good for you! Way to take action and share your opinion.

"...My hair's mostly wind,

My eyes filled with grit

My skin's white then brown

My lips chapped and split

I've lain on the prairie and heard grasses sigh

I've stared at the vast open bowl of the sky

I've seen all the castles and faces in clouds

My home is the prairie and for that I am proud…

If You're not from the Prairie, you can't know my soul

You don't know our blizzards; you've not fought our cold

You can't know my mind, nor ever my heart

Unless deep within you there's somehow a part…

A part of these things that I've said that I know,

The wind, sky and earth, the storms and the snow.

Best say that you have - and then we'll be one,

For we will have shared that same blazing sun." - David Bouchard

Man, women stating their opinions, what next? voting? bus drivers!!! We need to put an end to this!!

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

I completely agree! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

Also - 4'11" and a quarter. I would give my arm to be a few inches taller, for practical reasons. Shopping at the supermarket is always interesting :lol:

Nini - Vancouver BC, Canada (she's the one who does the forum thing)

Bee - Devon PA, USA (he's the one who gave her the shiny ring)

Getting our sanity tested by bureaucracy since 2007.

Here we go again...
