(of course you already knew about this beforehand if you read the other posts....lol....just another reminder..that's all...) Don't want you to get in trouble with the USCIS over this! Good luck with your move too.... Ant Um Ant, I totally forgot about this!!! More paperwork?!? EW! Thanks for the reminder! My husband has been transferred. There's a thread about it.

Canada	Canadian Cheddar and a quick hello	This is my complaint about American cheese! I miss really good cheddar. I have bought Extra sharp extra old cheddar here - and it tastes like a mild or a medium cheddar back in Canada. They have NO IDEA what a good cheese is supposed to taste like. All of the cheese -old, sharp, medium, whatever - are all mild and new cheese - nothing that has a real bite to it at all. I have found some real Canadian cheese in Whole Foods now and again but the closest Whole Foods is on the other side of Atlanta so we don't get there very often. I had my Dad bring me some real cheese last Spring when he came down - old chedddar from Wilton's Cheese Factory. OMG - I was in heaven while it lasted! So, enjoy your good cheese. And good luck with the house! Kathryn, Hello friend Nick and I both work at WFM and to be honest, I've never really gone to specialty cheese and asked to see if they have Canadian imported cheddar...I'm sure they do, I'm just too busy when I work to notice. I'm going to ask today when I go in lol I love how we all have our little gripes but honestly, the cheese here just doesn't have the same consistency and taste...it tastes too processed or something...I can't describe it. Nick loves the cheese in Canada way better too So nice to see some familiar faces on here still kickin around!	~Laura and Nick~	Female	Canada	2010-01-17 15:22:00

Canada	Canadian Cheddar and a quick hello	Hello my fellow Canadians... I just wanted to share something with you that I found funny. So yesterday, Nick and I stopped by our local market to pick up some things for supper. This market has a wide array of cheeses and I found a "Canadien Sharp" cheddar...lol I then dug deeper and found the correct spelling of Canadian on the label and bought one of those Anyway, Today for lunch I made myself a sandwich and sliced open the cheese, took a bite and low and behold............... ...............It's the same exact cheddar that I'm use to in Canada!!! .....it's totally laughable that down here they are calling it "sharp" because this is not sharp at all, it's the regular everyday cheese that I have eaten since I was 2. I'm excited that I found it down here...I hate the cheese that is available. Just wanted to share Things are going pretty well for Nick and I. Our mortgage company went under right when we put an offer in on a house but we found another one and should be closing in about 2 weeks. We are thrilled. Hope everyone is doing well and happy new year to all	~Laura and Nick~	Female	Canada	2010-01-17 13:57:00

Canada	The Vent	QUOTE (Ron/Sharon @ May 19 2008, 11:56 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yesterday at work Sharon wasn't feeling well at all (tired to point of collapsing) after being there 2 hour, she waited for a replacement and then went to the hospital emergency to get checked out and was told it would take as much as 3 month to recover from her illness, this is not good as all it does is add more stress in her life and it is stress that she is trying to recover from. Right now she on her way to her doctor since she (doctor) was called by the hospital yesterday and told to see the doctor first thing this morning. I know everyone well wish well and a speedy recovery, that is what I will tell her on your behalf. Thank you for tolerating my latest post as they are not the most pleasant reading material available. Always thinking of you and loving you very much even if not said often enough. Ron OH MY!

NYC and vacinity has probably the most expensive real estate in the US and it is incredibly difficult to get anything decent for the money.

Unfortunately many rich NY urbanites have their country homes in NJ, it's been that way for years. Alpine is always in the top ten list of most expensive counties to purchase real estate in the US. Nick lives near by there and took me driving through. I was amazed. Then when we started looking at homes, we looked (for fun) online at those houses and were like "Oh perfect, We'll take 2" LOL Then we went and looked at the crappiest pieces of ####### that was on the website and had a good laugh too.

As far as the root canal goes- you can always hold off. If the tooth is extremely sensitive and really bothers you or starts to hurt then you may want to go for it. I don't know if you have ever had one before- it really isn't that bad to go through. Thanks hon! Yeah, root canal always sounded soooo scary and painful to me...but many people say it's not that bad. I'm not in pain at all and he's filled the teeth that are the ones doomed for the root canal which he says will delay in the need for one. So we'll see.

Canada	The Vent	QUOTE (CBR @ Apr 18 2008, 04:44 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Does Nick have dental insurance? Might be lots cheaper here actually. I have dental and don't pay much at all for dental care and my dentist is top notch. And root canals are covered. I realize not everyone in the US has dental, but if he does... Sounds like you have your mind made up already though...hope it doesn't get too expensive!! That really stinks. The money would be better spent on your honeymoon. At least if he does have dental, you can go in for your regular checkups and avoid yucky work like this in the future. And for those visits (preventative) you don't pay a dime usually. Perhaps a sterilization fee of $5, but that's it. Yes, Nick has full dental coverage. That's good to know for the future so I can go for regular check ups. My parents are offering to pay for anything that is not covered under my benefits so...I'm quite lucky. I feel bad though... Thanks hon	~Laura and Nick~	Female	Canada	2008-04-18 15:51:00
Canada	The Vent	QUOTE (IR5FORMUMSIE @ Apr 18 2008, 02:59 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have a confession, I'm a rabid anti-Dentite. I feel for you but a root canal can last a good long time and what most people don't realize is that the act of brushing your teeth actually damages the enamel as can grinding your teeth, various acidic foods and carbonic acid (pop) and even trying to gnaw through your own leg ( don't ask, growing up with Len as your sister was nothing if not interesting and more than a bit painful.) It is possible to have a perfectly healthy-looking tooth without even a cavity yet have enough microfissures in the enamel that there has been an insult to the pulp. I'm taking a wild guess, but by any chance were the caries in the molars? Depending on how many roots the tooth has, will affect the cost, since each root canal has to be obdurated with gutta percha (same stuff they use in golf balls.) Most people drink pop heavily and it is reflected in the increasing number of caries that are seen today. BTW, there's an old mechanic's trick to unstick an engine that is seized with rust, pour a little pop in the cylinders and let it sit overnight. It works pretty well, and an engine is an alloy of iron and nickel. Can you imagine what the stuff will do to your teeth? Always drink some water or gargle after drinking pop. IR.... Yeah, it's all molars....I only need one root canal, or so he said so...sigh. I'll work it out. I don't drink pop...lol ew!	~Laura and Nick~	Female	Canada	2008-04-18 14:43:00
Canada	The Vent	Thanks guys I've talked with my parents and they said that they are going to help me with whatever I have to pay beyond what I am covered. I'm so so lucky to have them. I'm crying I'm so happy. I'm definitely going to take care of all of this before I move....I will have the last of the filings completely by the 9th of May so, that's a good thing. Thanks for being here	~Laura and Nick~	Female	Canada	2008-04-18 14:29:00
Canada	The Vent	Well I'm fcuking screwed. I hadn't been to the dentist in 4 years. Finally, I got a good job where I actually have coverage and so, I went. Just came back from my 4th appointment... The first three were cleanings...today was 2 fillings. I find out that I have a total of 9 cavities. I have to go back twice more to get the rest done. The two they filled today are deep and I will more than likely need a root canal with a crown. I'm only covered for so much and I've already used over half of it. So all the money I've saved up since starting this new job will be over half gone. I'm in tears and completely heartbroken. I was so proud of all the money I've saved and now....this sucks so bad. Nick says it's only paper and we will work through it together. I just can't believe I let it get this bad. I have beautiful teeth, white and straight but I guess looks are deceiving.

Canada	The Vent	QUOTE (MissStacey @ Apr 18 2008, 09:00 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I need to vent about my Drivers license exam yesterday. I thought I could just try to "let it go" but I can't. The written part went fine- I was more nervous about the written than the actual driving. The driving test- the girl was extremely unfriendly- she didn't speak very loudly or clearly so I had to ask her a few times to repeat herself. I thought everything was going along great- I was calm and in my opinion, driving very well. I have been driving for over 15 years- I wasn't cocky but I was confident in my driving abilities. I have always felt that I am a safe, courteous driver. Anyway- we get back to the DMV and she tells to sit down and walks away. A little while later she comes back and tells me I almost failed the driving exam. She said I drive too fast. I said "Excuse me? I was never over the speed limit." She says "You don't have to be over the speed limit to be driving too fast." I was stunned- she told me she was passing me and went on about my driving exam. She told me the things I was good at too but I didn't hear much of what she said. I know it shouldn't matter but I am still fuming over this. Being a speeder or overly fast driver is not me at all. I keep replaying the driving exam in my head and really feel I was I was driving at a safe and comfortable speed with the flow of the traffic. I am happy I finally got it and don't have to deal with the DMV for another 4 years. That's flipping ridiculous. I think sometimes they just give people a hard time out of boredom. Let it slide off your back, you have your license, you KNOW you are a good driver, that's all that matters. Screw her.

Canada	The Vent	I'm feeling very sad tonight. It's getting harder and harder to be away from Nick. We just saw each other a few weeks ago and just the knowledge that we are so close to our interview, it's even more sucky. I miss him. I miss everything. I want to just come home at the end of the day and him be there. We aren't fighting or anything but there is a lot of crying and impatience and just overall sadness. I can see how some people break up right near the end cause the excitement can turn to stress and frustration and they can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. I can see how some would find it the hardest at the end. It's almost harder than the beginning!!!! I'm tired of webcams. I'm tired of talking to him on the phone and the computer. I want my interview. I want my life to start!!! I want my Nicholas!!!!!

It would seem that it had been sitting in Montreal for the past few months as VSC states it received the application on April 7th. It doesn't say much or anything of interest but it does give us a new receipt number which should allow us to follow our progress over the coming months. I think this notice is a confirmation that they have been paid as the only notation is: Notice Type: Receipt Notice - Fee Previously Collected. This doesn't mention the ???212()()() so my guess is that my test results came back clean leaving them not a leg to stand on.
