  1. Consider drafting wills, financial and medical powers of attorney, and similar estate documents. These make excellent evidence for ROC, and they're even more crucial to have in "life."
  2. Reminders of the bad old days of growing up in the Midwest -- multiple terms. Of course, there was also the distinction of sweet corn vs. field corn. If I never see one more snowflake* in my life, I won't care. *literal kind and human kind Southeastern Texas weather cold, but bright sunshine and diminished winds.
  3. Linguist in me aches for the plural to be "Prii." Plural should be "Leaves."
  4. How dare they? (Plagiarism of Greta Thunberg unintended)
  5. White House imposes gag order on border agents [...] Like any true leader facing a daunting challenge, Joe Biden leaped into action and ordered all officers from Customs and Border Protection to stop talking to reporters or publishing illegal immigration figures on social media. Yes, you read that correctly. Joe Biden is going to "fix" the border crisis by placing a gag order on the Border Patrol.

  6. This kind of weather accentuates a personal problem. Stupid builder put the thermostat on the LOWER floor of this house. Even with all vents closed, the upstairs is at least 10 degrees warmer than downstairs, probably more. It's almost like climate-change every time anyone goes up or down. However, shouldn't complain after losing power last February and experiencing 52 F. inside for 37 hours. Texas grid supposed to hold up, this time.
  7. The weatherman mentioned here that, in fact, Arizona is just about the only non-cold place in the lower 48 now.
  8. Storm enveloped southeast Texas in mid-afternoon. Wind gusts at tropical-storm force. Thankfully, no precipitation. Everyone was zooming around to finish errands beforehand. Supposed to crater to 18 degrees F. overnight Thursday, wind-chill temperature either side of 0. Going to hear about many busted pipes and see many distressed tropical plants/trees.
  9. Thrilling Thursday report, see man: Awful night for some reason, little zzz we man. Didn't really fall asleep till an hour before alarm, little zzz we man. Miu awoke us by sitting on our chest, breakfast-eager miu man. Fed miu, ingest miu man. Miu more aysheep all day long than ever, not even close man. Attended ESs, si above man. Up-picked Cousin Mini-B. for assistance with something, amenable senior wee man. Took CM-B to lunch at Arby's*, ingest Two Guys man. *WUOC, financially savvy we man Ran last couple of pre-freeze errands, everyone else doing same man. Forgot to buy corn dogs** for Mini-B., and we man. **one of the major, if not the major, food group man Napped for >1 hour, zzz we man. Awoke to tropical-storm-force cold winds, Many mph man. Temperature went south thereafter, brrr man. It is currently Many degrees with wind chill of Many degrees, who needs this man. Plan to cocoon with the rubias till further notice, Many's (2+2+2+1's) a crowd man.
  10. Special Thursday ES report, see man: Only 2 ESs anywhere around, holiday week man. Both were highly local, serendipity man. We were not about to wait till the cold front blew through, frigid Friday/Saturday man. See the take, see man: -- magnetic dartboard game for Mini-B.; one Manyzen coated wire hangers = $Many ($2+2+1), deal man -- Many (2+1) packs foam serving-trays; large rubber-backed coaster = $2 + half a buck, deal man Total = $Many-&-a-half ($2x2x2 - half a buck)
  11. Double good grief. He must have Bidementia VERY firmly by the genitals.
  12. I've long wondered this, regarding when a male enlisted man responds to a female superior. Does one say "Yes sir, Ma'am" or "Yes ma'am, Sir"?
  13. You're very smart for thinking to supply extra evidence of your bona fide relationship for the interview. Others here can comment on whether it's possible to upload it on the CEAC site. Because the consular phase is often underestimated, go to the "Office Reviews" tab atop any VJ page, and read the reviews for Tbilisi. In the country portal for Georgia, look for members who have recently interviewed there, and find their consular reviews or their recent forum posts to look for helpful insights. Let us know what you find, and of course keep us apprised of what happens in the interview.
  14. You can always do this, typically by handing it to the Locally Engaged Staff member (a native of the beneficiary's country who works at the consulate) when you're first called up. Then, mention it to the consul first thing, or if and when appropriate. Which consulate?
  15. Duplicate member account has been subjected to draconian administrative action. Main member account has been subjected to similar draconian administrative action for these reasons: -- opening a duplicate account to avoid a suspension; -- reopening a closed topic in direct violation of Moderation instructions; -- insulting and antagonizing other members; -- restricting and inhibiting others' use of the forum; -- essentially spamming the forum with a purely legal issue. This thread is locked, and neither this topic nor its drama is to be restarted or carried into other threads. Many thanks to our good members here for having reported these transgressions. Favor: If you suspect that one poster's account is a duplicate of another, please include the link to the other account when you make your report to Moderation. It results in faster action against offenders. TBoneTX VJ Moderation
