I will NOT, repeat, NOT do the group hug thing (I have a b1tch reputation to protect, yah know????) But I just couldn't see how folks are lecturers and lame ones at that- fkcuers. I'm not staying quiet anymore. So bring it on jerks.

Love you all, including Mumsie (and that's saying A LOT) :lol:

Ok, group hug while you stand in the corner looking tough :thumbs:

There is a lot of lectures going on there now, it almost made me feel guilty for having an opinion and voicing it!! WOW! :blink:

Thats why I just stay in here,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

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

Now that's the spirit soldier! :lol:

Why would anyone be a jerk to Laura? She's SO sweet and helpful! You let me at 'em Len! :PFor me, right now that hate is definitely a geographical feeling. I can't wait to leave negativity behind and start fresh!

That's the spirit Amy!!!! :thumbs: Now here take a cookie. I promise by the time you're done eating it, you'll feel right as rain. :innocent:

####### is wrong with some people. They can't read? Boxes of rocks, I tell ya!

*signing out on day 139* :ranting:

You're preaching to the choir. :crying: Read first, then ask questions, that way you'll understand the answer and get more out of the discussion.

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!!

:star:

I figured you'd appreciate the quote. Your advice (as usual) is sound and so may I add is most (if not all) of advice given by the posters in the Canada forum. :thumbs: Love is indeed understanding, so a decision made by understanding the problem will always bear dividends whereas Fear is ignorance and a decision made from that frame of reference will always bear heartache. Visualization is the greatest thing, it really works when you just can't get motivated. Arnold Schwarzenegger is the master of this and look at his accomplishments.

:) 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:

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!!!!... :)

I am too, don't you just hate it when that happens. :lol: The OP was rather inelegant in his use of the English language, I think she done him wrong and he was a bit peeved (just a bit though :lol: ). I'd go for the group hug but I'm still sore from all that damn shovelling, I really should eat my food more slowly. :lol:

I am in a BAD mood. BAD, BAD, BAD. Why????? Because i am up to my ears in stress, my stupid meds are a joke and I am as anxious and paranoid as I was 4 weeks ago.

The well-intentioned white people in Mercer Island invited us for Easter dinner (not my inlaws, their friends, aka the joint sponsor) and I really DO NOT want to go: for one we don't celebrate Easter, for seconds I just don't want to drag TLM into a fun-fun-fun social event; and for thirds, I like them just fine, but joining them is just not my idea of fun - I'd rather sulk at home.

ANDDDDD, someone is sick in my office, AGAIN. Seems that since I began here, not one effing week has all the staff been here all the time.

I am pizzed people. :ranting:

I'm not touching this one, not in a million years. :innocent: Any of you p*ssies out there want to be excoriated by my Sister, step right this way. :devil: Any pontificating asswipes need assistance in genuflecting, RSVP. :devil: C'mon now, Saint Len is giving a discount on comeuppance. :devil:

Len, don't worry about your reputation, you'll always be a b1tch to me. :lol: Did I tell you how much I luv you sis...please don't kill me. :lol:

Oh Len! I feel for you. I am stressed like crazy too. The anxiety is starting to come back and I'm having to work like crazy to keep it at bay. I love your meez though. It reminds me that I need to relax! Take a deep breath! You can do this! Think of something happy.

You know, I was reading something today that said we have to learn how to say no. We often do things because we feel obligated or we don't want to hurt others feelings. In the end though, it usually isn't in our best interests. I'm learning that I've got to say no the hard way. And to the hardest people! (Read-my mother!)

I betcha venting felt better though didn't it? I'm stuck here at work for a LONG time! I just got here, so 8 more hours to go, and this is the last place I want to be, but I'm going to breathe my way through it! ~giggles~ I suppose I'd better keep breathing or I may just end up six feet under before I even move! :P
