K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Delay at US Consul (Egypt)
Unfortunatly there is nothing that can be done to speed up the process and Cairo seems to be the slowest. Many of us here know how depressing the long wait can be. There is always light at the end of the tunnel. Hang in there! rose.gif

Middle East and North AfricaIt's TUESDAY today!!
Well, I was supposed to be in court today to see if the city is ever going to settle with me on the accident their stupid employee caused back in 2005. Seems there were 2 teenagers that shoved their mothers body in the trunk of her car last week so they have to go to court tomorrow. So....seems I will be in court all day tomorrow and possibly Thursday! This whole case should be cut and dry.....the city employee rammed into my friends car that I was a passenger in (ran a red light), broke my ankle serverly and because of the break the doctor says I will eventually have to have an ankle fusion and I will be disabled with my ankle. Something to look forward to eh? blink.gif So.......send out good vibes tomorrow! star_smile.gif

Kids start school on Thursday. I don't know where the summer has gone! I can't beleive my babies are not babies anymore. crying.gif

Hope everyone is having a great day!

My husband is a thin, tall man and we are having extreme problems finding pants in his size in the major department stores. He could wear a 28x34 but if we have to he could do a 29x34 or at the largest 30x34. Any suggestions on places to shop for him?

I posted this in MENA because I know a lot of the men are thin.



I've found up to 28 x 36 at Old Navy on occassion. Online for sure.....Old Navy, JC Penney's. JC Penney's you can order online and have them ship to the catalog department of a local store to save on shipping.

That's where I get jeans for my sons skinny butt star_smile.gif

Middle East and North AfricaSoy milk
QUOTE (julianna @ Sep 3 2008, 08:03 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Soy contains compounds and estrogens which, in too high a level, can start to interfere with our own estrogens. It's not a big deal... you just don't consume a ton of soy products is all. Most things if eaten in excess can cause you some serious problems, including water. Not worth worrying over.

Totally agree. Moderation is the key. I can't drink a lot of caffiene because I balloon up like I'm nursing! Plus, woman that have fibrocystic breasts, caffiene can cause more issues.

The soy formula is nasty. Nasty smelling and I'm sure it can't taste good. We see a lot of babies here that are put on soy by their pedis, then they develop a soy allergy. What's crazy is even the formulas that babies are put on that have supposed milk allergy has a form of milk in it too! Danged if we do and danged if we don't.

The passport change was easy. I just had to bring the original of our marriage certificate, my old passport and pay the fee. I just just bummed because now I have to get all new stamps in my passport! I liked all the stamps I had from other countries.

Good luck with the passport for your son. I'd try the letter you have first to see what happens. At least you have that. My ex is a poo-poo head and won't even give us permission so when we have a little extra $ we have to hire an attorney so we can get a judge to choose. Shouldn't be a big deal since he sees them maybe 5-10 times a year and lives 3 miles away!

He thought that all the news ppl were out to scare ppl into spending money. I turned to him last night and said "now do u see they're not out to get you all the time"...*sigh*

Were they the flying cockroaches aka sorsar? They are a big problem where Moh lives. They LOVE the bathroom at the house. My poor husband had to go with me to the bathroom cuz I was terrified.

I had to chuckle when I read this! :lol: The first time I was in Egypt I went in the bathroom at night (minus contacts or glasses), sit on the pot and heard this terrible noise over by the sink and this large thing go across the floor. I scream thinking it's a mouse. Then I go over and try to peak where I thought this mouse was. There was this cockroach from he$$ staring and me and I swear to God it tried to attack me! I went running out of the bathroom screaming! Khallid says "what did you see a crotch?" (notice what he actually said?) That just cracked me up, but he did have to take me to the bathroom for the next couple of days. :yes:

Anyhoo i was like ####### triggered this feeling that my heart is being pulled until it's paper thin.......I was doing soooooooooooo good for the past few days.

I just find the whole thing ridiculous. MENA is always going to get singled out even though there are other countries with the sames issues. Funny how that will never get brought up. It's just one of those things I've learned to deal with and I just have to consider the source it's coming from.

To all you gals that have your precious babies.....SHOW THEM OFF! I'd do anything to be able to show my baby off right now.

OK Kel....you totally made me laugh! We got Cloverfield on netflix a couple weeks ago. When the movie started I kept saying I was gonna puke because all of the motion from the camera moving around. Somehow I suffered through the whole movie and when it was over, we all just sit there and was like "what the he$$ was that?" blink.gif

Had both my kids birthday party last night. We had a huge skating party for them, but I think the adults had more fun than the kids!
