Water, I am so sorry about your puppy. I know how I feel about my animals and I would hate to have to go through that. I have only had to put done one of my pets in my lifetime and that was awful.

Middle East and North Africa	AP Processing At Cairo	I really do not know how to answer these polls that ask if Jack and I met online. The truth is I knew his brother, who lives here in the states, and he wanted to introduce me to Jack. So that is why we started to talk over messenger and why we fell in love. So should I answer this question yes or no? I tend to think yes but am not sure. Any way like I stated earlier Jack and I have been in AP for 4 months now and I have sent an email every month to the embassy, have only gotten the standard reply, but have not called DOS yet. So I do not know what the issue is and wish they would just ask for proof if they do not think our relationship if valid or what ever their issue is with us so we can get on with our lives. Why do they not tell us what the hold up is? Are they afraid we will sue them or something?	SandyNJack	Not Telling	Egypt	2007-12-27 22:41:00
Middle East and North Africa	Is anyone else starting to lose hope Cairo will ever finish there "AP"	Jack and I are going on 4 months now and seeing the length of waiting, for those who have been on AP longer, just makes me want to cry. I am already planning on going again probably in March. Like you Doods I really do not want to, because of the expense, but it will be a year that we have seen each other in person in Feb. All this AP poop just makes me think it will never end and it is all a dream. You really have to have a good constitution to go through this process, if they do not think your case is the perfect scenario, because it could really beat you down if you do not.

Middle East and North Africa	A Look Inside the Churches of Egypt	QUOTE (SandyNJack @ Jan 3 2008, 09:10 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have not heard of this Doods but I will ask my love and see what he knows. I went to Borders today to buy a baby's first bible for a baptism I am going to tomorrow and I looked for this book. They did not carry it but would order it for the low low price of only $59.95. LOL I was bummed they did not have it so I could at least look at it before I spend $60.00.	SandyNJack	Not Telling	Egypt	2008-01-04 18:48:00

You said this too: "Actually it is not really about people being jealous of you Sarah it is more about, all you are aware of are your own thoughts and ideas and you can not see beyond that. You do not see what is going on around you and that other people have thoughts and ideas that might be as good if not better than your own. " You said lots of things! Cool! But I never said every woman was jealous and every look was a jealous look. But I still stand by the above statement to you. This counter was not directed toward the statements I have made about you Sarah it was made about the jealousy that alot of people have misunderstood or taken to another level.

Perhaps other explanations are too disturbing (or not self-affirming enough) to consider.... If you are referring to my height, weight or beauty you may be right but again the stares I get from the women when walking alone are different are not the same when I am with Jack. I really have no idea what you look like -- your avatar pic is pretty small and it's hard to make a judgment based on that. And anyway that would still be a subjective opinion -- not everyone would necessarily agree. But I'm saying that just because someone cuts their eye at you does not mean they're "jealous." And you are right if I was talking about one particular woman or instance but this is an ongoing issue.	SandyNJack	Not Telling	Egypt	2008-01-04 13:50:00

Middle East and North Africa	Ramy's interview @ Cairo, 9/12	QUOTE (the sparrow @ Sep 12 2007, 04:27 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We are approved!! Ok I finally got off the phone with Ramy--I fell asleep at 4:00 and woke up at 6:30 and found an email from him in my email--he tried calling but couldn't get through and then didn't want to wake me up so I called him back and this is how it went! He was waiting at the embassy from 6:30 and was there until about 10:30, 11 (4:30-5 EST) He was interviewed by a nice woman named Stacy (??? we haven't heard about this one!) and she didn't ask him many questions. 1. When, where, how we met 2. What were the dates of his last US visit 3. What his parents do for work 4. What he does for work 5. Does he plan on working when he comes to the US 6. Did we date anyone else in the 5-6 years we were apart 7. Did I meet his parents 8. Do his parents approve of our relationship They took his fingerprints (all 10 fingers...he's not missing any lol) At the end he asked her what he should tell me and she said, "Congratulations, you are approved, and I hope you have a beautiful wedding." They gave him no papers and told him he should receive his passport & visa in 3 weeks (which we've heard before, I'll believe that when I see it, lol) I'm not going in to work till later, I might not go in at all, I'm going back to bed.... Last night's slumber party was awesome and kept me sane, thank you all soooo much!! Oh my goodness, congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am very envious but very happy for you as well.
