The Vent

[Ontarkie 14,193]

I am so sick and tired of all the phone calls we get with the automated messages- credit card #######, politics #######, car #######, ####### ####### #######.

me too

Register here on the National Do Not Call Registry. You will still get calls from charities and from political campaigners but the other '#######' should stop. https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx

If it doesn't stop, then you can report them. If you are not sure who it is you can look up who it is and if other's have complained, here: http://whocalled.us/

And, if you want to know if it is a decent charity and one you might want to consider, you can investigate them here on the Charity Navigator: http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=topten

I noticed a substantial decrease in nuisance and solicitation calls after we registered. Good luck.

Thanks!! I'm registered and just waiting for the confirmation email.

Thanks, just did ours too. Wounder how long it will take.

We registered and the calls stopped almost right away; though we still get the occasional charity and stuff.

Mmmmm...back from lake side.

Smelling like jet fuel, fantasizing what it would be like to go Mach II with my hair on fire and then reality kicks in:

it is really bad for the environment.

Excess.

Wow!

What a show....and only saw an hour of it.

It goes all weekend.

Hey, Chicagoans, check it out!

oops...thought I was in Off Topic.

Hahaha...

[IR5FORMUMSIE 850]

I'm sorry if I insult anyone.

That is not my intention.

Here's my vent:

What's the deal with thinking god had anything to do with getting a visa?!

No need to answer.

Really.

I just needed to put that in writing.

Well if you're a fatalist them you might opine that it was all ordained, but if the devil is indeed in the details, isn't that guilt by association? I guess a miracle is what you make of it and while most of us could use a few well-placed lightning bolts from the Almighty, getting approved is frequently a miraculous event in itself.

I guess it means if you don't get a visa, it's God's way of saying: YOU SUKC. I agree, makes little sense. And mind you, I do believe there is a Creative Force out there; I just don't see the Force haunting the CO in his sleep whispering "approve Len and Breeeeen! approve Len and Breeeen".

I thought that speed was freedom of the soul. A convertible SR-71, never thought of that, might be interesting to have your hair dried at mach 3+. Can't beat that odour of ylang ylang with just a hint of jet fuel. On second thought, it would probably lead to split ends.

No, that was me using the mind-control machine or was it some dude who brings light. I forget which.

I knew there was something creepily familiar about the voice.....

Grrrr - another USCIS vent. I check my status online everyday (although why I bother I don't know as there probably won't be any changes there for another year at least!) and it tells me it is time to change my password (the second time to change it since I filed . . . it is frustrating that people who filed at CSC 2 months after me are already getting approved . . . ). So, using the same information I have been using the last 3 months to check my account, I enter my information and my choice for a new password. It tells me that my personal information is invalid. So, I retype everything in case there was a spelling mistake or a wrong case by accident - and it repeats it - it is invalid. It seems to have been irrelevant that the information has been valid the last 3 months! So, I fill out the form to ask them to send me my user name and password that they say are invalid, and I enter my email address and it pops up my security question - what Street did you Grow Up On? I type in the correct answer (there is only one!) and it tells me that is invalid!!! Geesh!! So, I have just sent an email to their webmaster telling them to fix their system. I hate this having to change passwords every 3 months, especially when it seems to be such a hassle every single time. I had to start a whole new account for my I-751 because I couldn't get access to the account I had when going through AOS and I really don't want to have to start another new account. USCIS website must be littered with abandoned accounts because people can't get access to them anymore. (Oh, and I did have another week to go before I had to change the password so that wasn't the problem). GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

That really sucks. Unfortunately, I know how that goes. I had to make a second login account for the AOS application because I couldn't get logged back into the one I had made for the I-129f one! I'll probably have to make a third one for when Réjean applies for removing conditions and a fourth for citizenship!

How annoying Kathryn!

You have to wonder at these web people who create these security steps - I mean, my bank doesn't even make me change my password!

Why on earth you would need to change your p/w every 3 months for an online status checker is - well it makes no sense.

I feel for you, but the solution is not to vent but write to the head of USCIS, a Mr. B.L.Z. Bub.

There you go again trying to impose logic into an arbitrary, irrational and capricious process, bad Trailmix . The whole system is based on a novel by a man named Lear.

I can't bring myself to watch the Olympics..

I love watching the Olympics.. but Canada's seems to never so well at the Summer ones, and I will miss the Canadian coverage etc.

I'm such a yanger.
