aHEM, I don't think you have a choice :P

and if you haven't tried the Frambozen, don't knock it... it tastes like beer, just with a bit extra ;)

Hey, I'll try anything once. I'll knock back the beer while she shops. Odds on which one of drops first? (hint: she's definitely the odds-on favor to win.) ;)

The Very Secret Diary of Legolas Son of Weenus - by Cassandra Claire

Day One: Went to Council of Elrond. Was prettiest person there. Agreed to follow some tiny little man to Mordor to throw ring into volcano. Very important mission - gold ring so tacky.

Day Six: Far too dark in Mines of Moria to brush hair properly. Am very afraid I am developing a tangle.

Orcs so silly.

Still the prettiest.

Day 35: Boromir dead. Very messy death, most unnecessary. Did get kissed by Aragorn as he expired. Does a guy have to get shot full of arrows around here to get any action? Boromir definitely not prettier than me. Cannot understand it. Am feeling a pout coming on.

Frodo off to Mordor with Sam. Tiny little men caring about each other, rather cute really.

Am quite sure Gimli fancies me. So unfair. He is waist height, so can see advantages there, but chunky braids and big helmet most off-putting. Foresee dark times ahead, very dark times.

You are a stronger person than me Jeraly. I think that if I were in your situation any my visa did not come soon enough then all my family and friends would be coming over for a wonderful engagement ceremony instead of a wedding one. The thought of a K3 after the long process of a K1 would be too much for me to bear.

17th March 2010 - Started the removal of conditions process

22nd March 2010 - Application received by CSC

30th April 2010 - Biometrics appointment

That's why I invented the USCIS drinking game. Here's how it works: Every time you check your status, take a shot. If you get a touch, take 2 shots. If you are approved, take 3 shots, declare yourself the winner, and go to bed. Wait until tomorrow to tell us all you are approved so that you're not too inebriated to scream and shout in gigantic purple letters. =P

Some observations based on my own experiences: The more I check my status, the longer it takes me to check my status. Eventually I am physically unable to check my status. Problem solved!!

:lol:

I know I wouldn't do this again for any price. Once was enough

I'm the same... I'd do it again as well, but would sort of prefer not to ;)
