Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	Word on that, sister. 40 IS the new 30.... Doubtful OBX...I hadn't heard of them either until I googled....40 is the new 30....that's what I'm going with this year.	lgg	Not Telling	Canada	2010-04-14 08:23:00
Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	I've led a sheltered life, what can I say? I guess it's the goth sort of Varga girl thing. I get it now. Wow, I thought Suicide Girls was a lot more well known. I think my mom has even heard of them.	lgg	Not Telling	Canada	2010-04-14 07:07:00
Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	I may be a bit naive here but ####### is a suicide girl?????	lgg	Not Telling	Canada	2010-04-13 13:52:00
Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	Wow. Really? I wish that someone would make 30 mini films about these sorts of situations so we could watch them from start to finish and know how it all turned out. That just amazes me beyond belief. it also made me laugh out loud. You just reminded me of the VJ'er who didn't speak her fiance's language but had applied for a K-1 visa. She said they communicated with smilies and they were oh-so in love. Do you remember her, Udella? She was 2005/2006.	lgg	Not Telling	Canada	2010-04-12 08:29:00

Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	lol! YOu is super funny today! I never had that kind of wedding at all. I got married at city hall in a vintage dress and hat for 50$. I DID, however, think that it was the best, most specialist day ever -- but only my husband and friends that were there knew that. No diva type stuff but just that feeling of, "wow, this is the best day i've ever had..." I think that feeling gets totally commercialized in these sorts of scenarios and then you know what happens? the sheer simple sweetness of it is totally sucked out of it and tossed down and stomped on like a 400$ bouquet that your best friend's step-neice catches and then proceeds to get blind-drunk, puke in the punch bowl, punch the head waiter and spend the night in jail while her boyfriend boffs the head bride's maid. And then you're stuck with 20 grand worth of debt. I dunno... it's a super awesome day and everyone should really enjoy that day but not be a big jackazz about it. Just my humble... So I guess someone decided to have their wedding on a Friday here. The wedding party is SO snotty and their guests are even snottier. I love it when brides think their weddings are so special... and that they are SO special. The truth? They'll tear down your wedding, and prepare for the next one. They don't really remember you, and you're wedding is no different from the other 70 they have hear year round. No need to walk around with the diva like attitude in your David's Bridal year end clearance gown.	lgg	Not Telling	Canada	2010-04-09 15:35:00
Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	lol!!!! Made me laugh. Yah, I think that if my husband was an open mouth chewer it would of been too late for me too. Humming? God, that made me laugh out loud. I wont' be getting into my flaws at all! I am really big on table manners. But its funny, my husband grew up in one of those families where you'd think they'd be big on their table manners too, but apparently not. My husband said he used to hum while he ate as a child, and that was acceptable within his family... but then he went for dinner at a cousins house and his uncle SCREAMED at him for it. He still talks about it like it was yesterday I think he traumatized him.	lgg	Not Telling	Canada	2010-04-07 14:52:00
Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	Seriously? I find this effing grotesque! I think it would be a real deal breaker for me, to be honest. Especially at the beginning when you're like, hmmm..... but I suppose the flaws that we have fit well with the flaws our person has, right? My husband does it too! So does his dad. It's sooo gross. The first time I went out to eat with him I was kind of horrified... He has quieted down, he doesn't make the smacking noise now, so I do avoid looking at him... he say's it's because he can't breathe out his nose. My FIL though.. he smacks and chews and it's gross. I can't stand it.	lgg	Not Telling	Canada	2010-04-07 13:09:00
Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	In other news -- I have a problem. I find that in the US there is a plethora of cool/interesting/weird products that I am obsessed with looking at. Today, buying yoghurt at the store, I had to buy a box of Good & Plenty but the spicy kind. Just sick. Freaking sickest candy I ever ate. BUT, I had to buy it because I was like, oooh, cool, I never saw that in Canada. The flavours of gum and chips and nuts, the different kinds of food and SO, SO, SOOO much of it. I fear that when i drive and go to the grocery store, it's gonna be a sh1tshow of buying ridiculous things. That is my vent and I am sticking to it. OH and if you like the Good & Plenty candies, do NOT buy Good & Spicy.	lgg	Not Telling	Canada	2010-04-07 10:01:00
Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	want me to bvtch slap those dumb-dumbs for you? I hate that sort of frustration -- it makes me cry too! I don't want to sue, but there has to be something that can be done. I am holding a valid, legal US government documents stating that my green card has been extended for a full year while I wait for my green card. If they don't want to give me an extension on my license what am I supposed to do? I need to go to work... I need to drive my son to hockey... I can't live without a car... not in the area I'm in. I left in tears... and not because I was sad, I was freaking pissed off. So I understand people not wanting to deal with the DMV, and you're right it wasn't like this back home. Sorry for the comparison, I try not to do it but that is one thing I can agree on.	lgg	Not Telling	Canada	2010-03-31 17:56:00
Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	So today I enjoyed the first sunny, warm day that we've had in quite awhile. I went for a run, walked my 10,000 steps and took a bike ride around the old psych ward a few miles away from us -- very Shutter Island!!! anyway, came home and turned on the TV and my day was ruined by a show called The Wendy O Williams show or something. What is with that chick???? HOWYOUDOIN'???? yes, yes, I changed the channel but WOW, had no idea about that... So offensive. IMHO	lgg	Not Telling	Canada	2010-03-31 16:08:00
Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	Everyone's got one, Wyatt... I would just chill a bit if I were you -- you kinda just got there, you know? It'll be a crapton better when there's a routine to be had or you can come and join me for some nice runs and 2 hour power walks? I need to do some stretching stuff though, like yoga, my old lady muscles are pretty achy these days. I'll say it again. i LOVE ice cream. Love it. Ben and Jerry's and all their yummy flavours. Rock it. Oh yeah. That's huge...and very smart. When I lost sixty pounds or so back between 2007 and 2008, that was a major part of the reason why -- I wouldn't bring ANY bad food into my home. It was easy to do because I lived alone, and was really in the mindset of losing weight. Honestly, I can be very disciplined once I get into that headspace...it just requires that I get into a routine; i.e.: get up at a certain time, work out, shower, go to work etc. While I'm not working and my wife is working crazy hours etc., I just can't get into that headspace. It's probably going to have to start at the grocery store though...but I have to know I'm in the right frame of mind to make a commitment and stick to it. I hate vices.	lgg	Not Telling	Canada	2010-03-27 09:38:00
Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	That's me! I can spend HOURS looking at make up and hair care stuff and never buy anything. I have no idea why. I loved, loved, loved Shoppers Drug Mart. It was my bvitch. I love their make up.. I am a sucker for make up. I'm weird though, I don't wear half the ####### I buy, I just like having it.	lgg	Not Telling	Canada	2010-03-27 09:34:00
Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	I've actually lost 10lbs since I've been here! It's because I have the time to go running, take hikes and stuff. i also am one of those people that when i'm not chained to a desk (Like my job in TO) I just don't snack. We do love pizza Fridays and I 've already agreed with Wyatt about the ice cream thing -- it's also my sweet of choice. But yeah, I've been getting a ton of exercise since I've been here! Also enjoying the cheaper beer here too! I am trying to do our U.S. taxes. Need I say more? You haven't really immigrated until you have gained the immigrant's 20, so you are on the right path Wow, I'd go see that concert! Well, I love the New Pornographers but I'm actually not a fan of big crowds and such so... I'll buy the CD instead! Sorry you didn't get tickets, Wyatt! Argh...I just found out that The New Pornographers are coming to Washington D.C. on June 22nd and that tickets went on sale today. I scrambled to buy a pair...and they're already sold out! I didn't realize so many people even knew who they WERE down here!	lgg	Not Telling	Canada	2010-03-26 16:29:00
Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	Yeah, I'm pro-choice myself and yep Wyatt, that's my EXACT notion about that law. I just didn't want to say it out loud. Well, I'm sure that if you have a dalliance with the milkman, he WILL deliver goods for your diary! Yes, the reason is what I'm guessing you're thinking. It's because there is a large population of Indo-Canadians in the area, and there were several cases (in the '90's, as I recall) where doctors were performing many abortions on female zygotes / fetuses of Indo-Canadian women.	lgg	Not Telling	Canada	2010-03-26 14:01:00
Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	You have a milkman? i am very envious! I'd be standing on the porch waiting for him to deliver my diary goods. @ Reven... wow, that is really, really odd -- I had no idea that any part of Canada had any 'laws' like that. No idea whatsoever. What do you think the reasoning is for having a law like that only in Vancouver? You are in Vancouver, right? I have an idea but I don't want to blurt it out lest I come across as freakish.... That's totally messed up Raven, wow. I'm mad because my milk man never came this week! Now I have to go milk less or buy it from the grocery store like a sucker.	lgg	Not Telling	Canada	2010-03-26 13:37:00

Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	I hear ya, sistah. Not wanting the exact same thing, but in the same sort of context! Pfft... how did the Vent thread get on page 2? Are people happy today or something? What's that about? Anyways, here's my rant. We sent our AOS papers on Tuesday via Expresspost, and their guaranteed delivery date was yesterday by 3pm. However, the usps online tracking system finally updated and says it just got through the Chicago sorting facility last night at 2:22am, so they clearly won't receive it until today. I'm seriously irritated. It was NOT cheap to send that envelope the speedy way, so now we have to go through the trouble of demanding our money back since they suck. Plus, now we definitely won't get the NOA1 before my I-94 expires, which I was really hoping for. UGH.. (I know I'm getting a flood of ppl saying that doesn't matter, but I still wanted it ok! I WANTED IT! *stomps feet*) *edited for typo... dur..* What, are you just sitting there obsessively buying cup after cup to roll up the rim?

Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	Twee?? i wanna be twee!!! Like Born twee, twee a the wind blows... I'm sad to read you say that TM. I been feeling kinda lackluster lately too -- it's kind of like that feeling when you graduate and all your highschool buddies spread out all over the place -- your connection changes, you know? (((hug))) I don't know what post / person you're talking about, but I DO hear you. I think the sheen started to come off the Canada forum six weeks or so ago... It just doesn't feel as upbeat at homey as it once did. I used to feel like this was the internet version of Cheers or something...though with great advice too. But now it feels like you've got to be careful what you say here. *shrug* In other words, it feels like most internet forums now, whereas it once felt special. I know that sounds sort of twee, but whatev!	lgg	Not Telling	Canada	2010-03-22 19:38:00

Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	OH my god, Wyatt. I have to say, from someone who had been estranged almost all my family except my sister since I was 16 (am now 40) blood is NOT thicker than water -- some people are just not meant to be in each others' lives -- related or not. You're moving on -- keep it that way -- you're too nice/giving/sweet a person to let someone like that drag you down and cause you such unnecessary drama. Hugs to you, my friend... LGG Kinda funny vent, in a weird sort of way. My sister, who is fundamentally a horrible woman to begin with (I'm honestly being objective here! She's evil!), decided to pick a big fight with me in the restaurant tonight as we were having my farewell dinner with my parents. She was there with her fiance (her THIRD fiance, by the way...she's twice divorced), and she decided, almost spontaneously, to launch into me about never talking about my writing avocation. I was amused and surprised at her tirade! I've always kept my artistic inclinations mostly private when it comes to my family. I have work published in dozens of magazines and journals, but I literally don't talk about it with my friends or family. It's just my way of separating things, I guess. Well, she has never, EVER said a thing about this before, but she starts yelling at me about how I always shut my family out of my life etc. My father started to butt in, and she promptly shouted, "YOU shut up. You just shut the #### up!" which obviously got HIS hackles raised! She said that it's horrible that I don't talk about my writing, and that I'll probably fall out of contact with her when I move this week, to which I responded, very calmly, "You're probably right about that." She then shut up and didn't say a single word for the rest of the dinner. Fortunately, her fiance still kept conversation going after that, so while it was strangely awkward eating dessert while there was a major cloud over one corner of the table, it was also somewhat amusing to me. Words cannot express how many baseless tirades my sister has launched at me over the years, all the while trying to undermine me, steal any attention I have ever received for anything (she tried to upstage my wedding by announcing her new engagement, but her engagement ring had been mis-shipped, so she couldn't really do it), and all of it has truly been unfounded. That might sound like I'm painting myself in a positive light, but in the most objective sense possible, it's absolutely true! I have never done a thing to negatively impact her...never called her out on her antics etc., and have tried in the past few months to spend some time with her -- going to a movie in December, going to the mall a couple of times...going out to lunch with her and my mother... ALL of this has been out of courtesy, since I will be moving away. Ultimately, once dinner was done, my father, mother and I walked to our car, and my sister and her fiance trailed about thirty feet behind. I simply got in the car. A moment later, she and her fiance got in hers and she screamed out of the parking lot -- screeching tires and all. I had rather anticipated that something like this would happen since, after all, it was a night that was meant to be a farewell dinner to me. But she just couldn't let it be an amicable evening. Funnily enough, I returned home and noticed she had "unfriended" me on Facebook. Truth be told, I would have unfriended her too (as mentioned earlier in this thread, it wouldn't be the first time...), but it just gave me one final chuckle. Good riddance though! The only thing that upsets me about it is how it affects my mother, who has always tried to be a peacemaker between any family conflicts. But I just can't be cowed by this spiteful, malicious, jealous woman who happens to be related to me. I have no love for her, and haven't for several years now. This just sums up the reason why.	lgg	Not Telling	Canada	2010-03-08 10:49:00
Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	hey sweetie... Man... that's d-baggy, I must say... that guy sounds like a total azzhat -- sorry you have to deal with ####### like that -- just keep him deleted! later... LGG Some members of my family have no class at all... they just disgust me with their comments they leave on my facebook. I removed my uncle because he has to reply to almost everything I write about, and its always toilet humour and just sooo disgusting. So I removed him, and he tells my mom that I'm an apple.. which is a derogatory term for a native person - red on the outside and white on the inside. I don't get why my race is an issue, and why not wanting all my friends, coworkers etc to see that kind of stuff written on my wall has to do with it. I mean he's the kind of man, when he first met my husband he asked him to pull his finger. He just grosses me out.. always has, always will. I just don't find that kind of stuff funny at all. I mean I didn't feel like I could write anything without him saying something, and I'd usually have to quickly delete it. This is the same uncle who mooches from my mom... go figure.	lgg	Not Telling	Canada	2010-03-07 10:11:00
Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	OH yeaaahhhh! Laissez les bonne temps roulez! Fun times, fun times... sorry Kimbear.... Now just think about how awkward that silence will be when you're there all day and you're husband is off at work.	lgg	Not Telling	Canada	2010-03-01 18:56:00
Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	That sounds SO rough Sam... Kudos to you for putting up with it, I would LOSE my mind completely. Not gonna go there with the rent/own debate as I find that's way too personal to each personal/couple. I just came from a lifetime of renting to home ownership so... I'm a newbie too. Good luck, girl -- I wish you were enjoying your first months/years of marriage a little more rather than running after a mean sister in law. Same reason I never leased a vehicle. It'd be hard to watch that money go towards something I couldn't call my own at the end of the day. Word, Wyatt, word.... Yeah...living with in-laws would be horrible. I LOVE my in-laws. I truly do! But I think when you first get married, you really need to have a place to yourselves to bond...otherwise it's like having several other people in your marriage. This is totally just my opinion though -- to each their own. There is no way -- for me -- that living with in-laws would be anything other than a very temporary option. I have a hard enough time living with my OWN family on a temporary basis right now. The privacy issue would just get to me. Not a lot of "couple" time in that situation...and I'm not limiting that to sex, per se...just the whole "time to sit together and do nothing" thing. I'm serious when I say I really, really feel for you Sam...honestly, that sounds like a nightmare to me. I know you have an issue with renting, but at least you could get into an environment where it's just you and your hubby... That's more important than the rent money issue, isn't it? Not judging at all...jus' sayin'...	lgg	Not Telling	Canada	2010-03-01 18:53:00
Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	I LOVE the Yeah, yeah, Yeahs... how apropos! You guys rock... I just listened to It's Blitz yesterday. I quite like all their albums...took awhile for their latest to grow on me, but ultimately it did!	lgg	Not Telling	Canada	2010-02-10 10:37:00
Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	Yeah, some people are NOT worth the effort and will never warm up or see beyond their own selfish needs. I decided this year to let those people go and not engage them or let them into my life. Way more trouble than they're worth, you know? Sorry that that's happening -- it still feels crappy, I know but just don't engage -- she doesn't deserve your good effort... . Since there is no point venting about the weather, I will make an official vent over my future WIL. Everyone who has been following our degenerating relationship will know that she and I just hate each other. But I try really hard to make things work with her... after all, she will be the aunt to my future children and in the future I have to buy her spawns Christmas presents. So when she writes about being snowed in on facebook, I leave a message on her wall asking about their snowed in condition. The witch never replies. She has, however, updated her status 5 times and uploaded a boat load of new pictures. And replied to the other comments she's received from her wall. I cant whine to my husband about this because he will just say that he told me to not even try with that witch, but man, seriously, what am I doing wrong? Aside from venting about her on a public forum like this *rolls eyes* Okay, whine over!	lgg	Not Telling	Canada	2010-02-10 10:01:00
Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	Yeah, neither do I, my biggest fear in life is getting caught out in a lie and then having it all come crashing down! The humiliation would be too much to bear... I will, however, highlight a skill set to coincide with the needs of a job but I won't lie about whether they exist or not. Ha! That's so funny. I was going over my resume with my wife this morning and she was pretty much in YOUR shoes, and I was in your wife's. She's like, "You need to say that you've done such-and-such" and I'm all like, "But I haven't done such and such!" And she's like..."It doesn't matter, because you CAN do such-and-such and it's close to what you did do and just LOOKS better if you say you did such-and-such!" I never lie (no really...never!), so even exaggerating a little on a resume runs against my grain.	lgg	Not Telling	Canada	2010-02-09 14:28:00
Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	Bow, I'm sorry but I seriously laughed out loud at "stern kick in the left fig" Lolz!!!!! Sorry... . But you haven't said a wrong thing yet so... kudos to you and all your patience... Lol Oh I'm glad the questions are asked and I'm glad that she got off the illegal way so quickly. It just always surprises me when it just seems the person is waiting for someone to pat them on the back and tell them doing it the wrong way is okay or that anything in this funky process is a sure thing. I remember when my wife and I went to Montreal I thought it was in the bag and then it felt like a stern kick square to the left fig when we were denied Lol. People need to know that every part of this process has the potential to suck royally haha.	lgg	Not Telling	Canada	2010-02-05 16:44:00
Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	OH WORD to that, bowflex, word to that. It's like, really? You don't think every single one of us hadn't looked up, researched, checked out the easier way and then still opted for the longer way, the way with the absolute longest wait humanly possible? I know, I hear you... *hands bowflex a nice cold Friday afternoon draught* Lol I often wonder when reading some questions if people actually think that everyone else just simply over-looked the easier solution. Question: "Can I visit the USA for the entire K-1 or CR-1 process, go back to get my medical and interview, then just move right back over?" Answer: "6 months blah blah hard to prove ties blah blah typical information that everyone rocks at giving here that makes it PAINFULLY simple to know it varies and should be careful, prepare for the time apart, all that good stuff " Question: "Well then can I just move the the USA, get married, and then file for AOS?" Seriously do people think that anyone WOULDN'T do it that way if it was nice, legal, and 100% a possibility? ARRRRRRG hehe	lgg	Not Telling	Canada	2010-02-05 16:26:00
