Some days I hate this place. :angry:

Hugs, my sister...I do understand that sentiment. After the events of last week and yesterday in particular, I feel the same way. I wish Joel and I could move home NOW.

Hope tomorrow is better sister. (F)

Was funny, I actually had to leave another canada/usa forum onyahoo!! Nice bunch of people,but a few posted incorrect information about immigration visas,primarily K3 and cr-1,lol Just frustrating to see that, and then have the owner of the board--who made it clear it was HER board, start to moderate my postings!! And when i backed up my postings with proof, she stuil said i was incorrect. Furthermore she did not liek that I posted information about VJ, even though she isn't an immigration site, guess she feels insecure. Oh well, I just feel bad about the incorrect info she and a few others post on there. Not really a vent, just another way to stay away from studying,lol

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

:) Ahhhh gotcha Len. Well I feel like that about VJ lately too. I've been watching the thread I think you're referring to. There's so much judgmentalism going on in that thread there's no way to sift out the good info the OP was asking for. I'm wondering if maybe I need another break from VJ, at least til I get the stress I'm under at work sorted out.

I know we all have our moments where things are said...I know I do :blush: but geez louise...some of what I've read in there, gawd....

And I do agree with you about the health care system here in the US - and I've dealt with it all my life. :wacko:

Love the quote from one of my favourite movies, Mumsie. B)

And yes, do take a deep breath ATeam; that is mom's job sometimes to infuriate. Bahaha!

They really don't mean any harm. Do try to find out where this is coming from.

What the reasons are for her to not just be simply loving and supportive.

Ask.

As I have been know to say:

there are only two ways to make a decision or two places from where things originate;

it is either

from love or from fear.

Choose from fear and watch the horrid results.

Choose from love and ...mmmm...well, what more needs to be said.

Choose love.

(L)

It is the greatest peace-in-the-moment kinda thingie.

Oh Delicia, please visualize resolution.

Visualize the result.

Do create a vision map: in however it works for you.

A box with photos, writings, and cut-outs of things you want to have happen.

Or a piece of large cardboard/bristol-board and glue/paint/write such things to it.

Look at it each day.

It is time to switch the programming.

Time to manifest what you truly want...the only way to accomplish this is by seeing it already happening.

Feeling it happening.

YESSSSSSSSSSS!!

I really really REALLY didn't mean to be judgmental, but come on..the wording in the original thread? ACK! Horrible.

If he had posted all the information in the first place, and just worded it completely different...my reaction would have been different, as well as many many others I'm sure.

I'm stressed out lately too Karen....TMI but I'm late for my period (no, I'm not preggers, took 2 tests) I'm just...stressed. About work, about the move, about the visit in 3 days (I keep having dreams I'll get denied at the border) sigh... :unsure:

Group hug!!!!... :)
