Immigration Forum / USA Marriage Base / April 2006my recent annoyance
Greetings all. I recently posted about the USCIS asking me and my wife to send in a new copy of our marriage certificate. I recieved notification yesterday by email that they had recieved it. Back to waiting I guess. Meanwhile I have decided to let slip the dogs of congress again. I've been working with one of my senators aides the last couple of weeks. I suspect the concressional interest from 2 U.S. senators over the last couple of years may be taking effect. In other news... I've been working on a letter to the editor that I'm planning on sending in to as many papers as I can. It needs editing, (It's 5+ pages long including a time line), and I'm wondering if I should post it here. It will be going up on my web site once I'm satisifed with it. Since I don't care to waste people's time or bandwidth I will ask before posting it here to see if there is any interest. I'll keep you up to date regarding our AoS. At least my wife is keeping busy making curtains for our house with the sewing machine I bought her for our anniversery. :) -- Ned Ned You are so romantic! How wonderful to keep her busy with of all things ........................................ a sewing machine ...... .................I would never have thought of that as a anniversary gift. I dare not ask what she is getting for her birthday present ? Yours in dis_belief herein Julia ps hint next time thing diamonds or tanzanite ( high clarity, high carat weight and only the darkest blue color ) ie remember clarity weight and color. > Ned > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > clarity > weight and color. Maybe his wife WANTED a new sewing machine? Maybe she even ASKED for one! Maybe sewing is her hobby and Ned wanted her to have the latest and greatest! Maybe she's a professional seamstress! One of my friends' husband gave her a new set of tires for her car (which she uses for business) for Christmas! Another year he gave her a years supply of the vitamins she takes that cost a bundle. Gifts can be anything that makes your partner happy. I personally don't care for diamonds, and would appreciate a gift much more practical than jewelry. To each his own.

Maybe sewing is her hobby and Ned wanted her to have the latest [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Rene Here, here and amen to that! (-: Rene I take your point but still would respectfully disagree with you. I would not be happy to receive a sewing machine or a set of pots and pans for my birthday or in particular an "anniversary" I cannot finf withing my knowledge data base the connection between a 'sewing" machine and your anniversary?? Fo rthe record a sewing machine is much like a washing machine or some other must have "necessity" . Anniversary equals fun and romance and sewing machine does not immediately jump to my mind. but you might be right in so far as it could be her hobby and a much valued gift indeed and requested. However it is a potentially strange gift in the absense of unusually circumstances. I doubt anyone else here ever received such a strange gift at their anniversary time of year.

My wife's favorite gift from myself was her black and gold semi auto .40 caliber pistol.. and her lawn tractor was the second favorite... > Maybe his wife WANTED a new sewing machine?

Maybe sewing is her hobby and Ned wanted her to have the latest [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Rene I totally agree with you, Rene, as usual. :) I told Mark not to bother buying me jewelry -- I'd never wear it. The only piece of jewelry I wear is my wedding ring, and that's mostly because it's fairly plain and doesn't get in the way. Why waste money on something you know the recipient doesn't want?? Years ago my father gave my mother a table saw for their anniversary. She still brags about it today as being one of the best gifts she's ever received from anyone; it has brought her years of happiness. But I suppose that in RTI's mind, that's not the point. ~ Jenney ps. FWIW, I got a sewing machine as my high school graduation gift. It's come in handy plenty of times. > I totally agree with you, Rene, as usual. :) > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > ps. FWIW, I got a sewing machine as my high school graduation gift. > It's come in handy plenty of times. Ohhh that reminded me of one more unusual gift this friend of mine got. Before she and her husband were married, again for Christmas one year, he got her a huge model of a car engine that you had to learn the parts and where they go, so you could put the model together correctly. She uses her car 100% of the time for business, and he was worried about her breaking down and not knowing her car engine parts. That, to me, showed his care for her. That said, they've been together now for 7 years, and in addition to those unique gifts, he had her late mother's diamond engagement ring reset into a modern setting, more to her liking, and propsed to her with that ring. It's nice to see guys can be practical AND romantic. :) Rene >Maybe his wife WANTED a new sewing machine? Maybe she even ASKED for >one! Maybe sewing is her hobby and Ned wanted her to have the latest >and greatest! Maybe she's a professional seamstress! She isn't a professional seamstress, but she did want a sewing machine. After Christmas we were wandering around Target when she saw some and started drooling over them. At least until she saw the price. My wife then moved into her mantra: "To expensive! I buy at yard sale. $15 dollars." When I came home with the machine a month later she was all over it. "Oooh! I like! This good!" Then she looked up at me and asked: "How much?" I told her. "Special deal. Only $15. I buy at yard sale at Sears." She told me to take it back. Of course I refused. After about an hour of going through the manual the "to expensive" chanting died down. >One of my friends' husband gave her a new set of tires for her car >(which she uses for business) for Christmas! Another year he gave her a >years supply of the vitamins she takes that cost a bundle. She doesn't have a license yet so no car. That is on the list >Gifts can be anything that makes your partner happy. I personally don't >care for diamonds, and would appreciate a gift much more practical than >jewelry. To each his own. Diamonds too I think. I'm expecting a nice sum of money in the next few months once an uncle's estate is all settled out. -- Ned >Ned > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > >Yours in dis_belief herein Her Birthday was a few weeks ago. She absolutly forbid me to do anything. The reason may be due to the fact it was the Big 40 for her. Of course she still looks under 30 to anyone who sees here. :) On the bad news front, she blew her road test for her license again. This time she was told she was driving to slow. I told her that this was an improvment. She had no trouble backing up this time. :) I'll start prodding her to try again in a week or so. I also told her that instead of a friend driving her to Concord, she should drive up instead. It would put her in the right frame of mind. -- Ned >>Ned >> [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] >that instead of a friend driving her to Concord, she should drive up >instead. It would put her in the right frame of mind. Just warn me when she drives by Fremont :-) MH > Ned > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > clarity > weight and color. What surprises me, is that you actually think. BTW, exactly what business of yours is it what he buys his wife? And, while I'm thinking about it, who appointed you the gift police? Why don't you stick to what you do best... giving misinformation. Ian Ian Please give me a break form your constant moaning herein. You do not own this site ` please understand that and speak when you have something constructive to utter. As a lady I was trying to offer some advice when it comes to purchasing appropriate present. From my experience many males do not have a clue when it comes to giving presents but I suppose you know it all in this context as well as every other. Please desist from posting wherein I post as that would please me. .. you have a negative influence to often and that is not what I need. Julia > Ian > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Julia And we all know what you need ... but its illegal in some states..... > And we all know what you need ... but its illegal in some states..... One gift I got from my husband was a kitchenaid stand mixer, i think it was a xmas gift, but if it was any kind (bday, anni etc) i would have been just as ecstatic. I loved it, was what i really did want, since i love to bake and cook, and who cares what some1 else gets their wife for their anniversary if they are happy? > Ian > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Julia Oh just to add, a real lady would never make comments like yours about somebody else's anniversary gift. Not classy or ladylike at all dear. > Ian > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Julia I'm still waiting for you to get me banned from this forum. You've threatened it several times now... when will you follow through with your threats? Ian Ian You sure have a problem with me or is it with women in general I would not like to be around you all day. look up the legal definition of threat and you will see therein that I have never "threated" you. I asked you to desist from you silly big man behaviour although it was rather funny and it made me smile. I expect you are small in stature acting big in public ... I see it all the time in my profession. Try and get over your obsession with me and all that I say herein. Now go away!! read my lips as I will not demean myself more with you and your type. Julia > Ian > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Julia Well... let's tell the truth... here is what you actually said: April 9, 2006: “Try anger management and watch your tongue as I might just petition to have you banned herein for foul language. You have been warned. Desist or face the consequences.†July 24, 2005: “Please control your foul mouth and desist from this conduct lest I take action against you for defamation by your libel.†Your comments sound threatening to me! At any rate, I have asked you several times to follow through with your actions but you seem hesitant to act. Why? Is it because you know there's nothing you can do; that you're totally impotent to act; that you're nothing more than a blowhard? Hmm... when I suggested you were a blowhard, I didn't actually think that I had hit the nail on the head! I guess I'm wrong! Ian > Ian > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Julia Ok, I'll say it before someone else does -- wonder what "profession" that might possibly be?! (wink, wink) > Ok, I'll say it before someone else does -- wonder what "profession" > that might possibly be?! (wink, wink) There is a definite implication of the oldest one. > Ian > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Julia Honey We all have a problem with you. Some of us though rather correct your errors and laugh at your posts. Ian takes you far to seriously in my honest opinion. BTW I am the one that you would ask to have him banned. I can tell you now, it ain't happening. Rete Moderator, Britishexpats.com SignatureI'm not an attorney.
