Flames you are hilarious!

:lol:

Poor Japanese girl...Anne of Green Gables legacy got another one.

I'm so lost. :unsure: Who is the Japanese girl?

Kathryn, those ants must have grossed you out, no? You're a better woman for taking care of it yourself and not taking it to the hands of an exterminator. You probably saved yourself a few hundred dollars -- at least.

Our teeny timeline:

Jan 23 '08 ~ met online

Mar '08 ~ 1st visit to Vancouver

May '08 ~ 2nd visit to Vancouver

Jun 08 ~ plans to move to the west coast!

Aug 8 08 ~ he moves to Bellingham

current ~ many trips back and forth across the border...

Real quick brown_eyes, Emancipation has a Japanese friend who met a (hillbilly) guy from PEI that came to pick her up at the airport for their first meeting in filthy sweatpants and lives at his parents's house.

Long story short, she wants to marry him and stay in Canada even though she doesn't like the guy or something like that.....*sigh

even hillbilly's don't live with their parents!!

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

WOW!!! Another lucky contestant!! You have won a trip (which u have to pay for) to PEI, get picked up at the airport by no one other than PEI own Loverboy!! He may be a bit late to the airport, as he has to borrow his moms 1986 Dodge Horizon hatchback car, and he has to stop at the seamstress to get a patch put on his sweat pants!! Accommodations are at his parents place AND he will devote all his attention to you, as he does not have a job!! Thanks to VJ members, we do have $$$$ in the budget for aerosol body spray. CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay! I am so excited that I won the grand prize!!! I am a bit upset though that he doesn't have enough class to pick me up in a Gremlin or perhaps a Yugo :)

This is my first time posting on "The Vent." Since moving to the US (I am living within 30 minutes of Canada and still work there), I have been subject to constant badgering by family, friends, acquaintances, colleagues, and people I don't even know that well, to: 1) let them use my US mailing address to avoid paying Canadian duty on goods and 2) bring items such as duty-free liquor across to Canada with me. It is getting out of hand and driving me crazy because our house feels like a UPS depot and I have to be really careful at the border so that I don't lose my Nexus pass. One particular "friend" never phones or emails me unless she has wants one of these 2 things. Or, one time she said, "I need to buy some stuff for my wedding, can I stay at your place for 48 hours so that I will get the larger customs deduction?" No, I don't feel at all used... People just don't get it that I have to be so careful at the border! Then, I feel like a jerk when I have to say "no, I am not comfortable with that." This is driving me crazy!

Whew - E&L

You need to clean house! I'd let their ####### get taken by border service - they'll never ask for help again. Better yet, keep it and say it was taken. Sell it back on ebay to recoup some costs and a little extra for your annoyance. Holy hannah I'd be pissed. And I'd tell your friend to p off.

:devil:

Well if she loves him it's probably just a little teenager infatuation, because she has doubts yet....Never had a doubt with mine ! :no:

Yes.. i don't doubt that... love is relative.. she's young in emotional years... this is her first "romance" to be sure.. gah... that's exactly what I told her.. if you have ANY doubt.. ANY doubt at all.. don't risk it... 1/2 of all marriages end in divorce and I've been there divorce SUCKS hard... what is 1 more year of being single.. or just dating the guy? GEESH
