Poor Farrah got one little thread and a mention and Michael's got a good 50. I bet he's loving the coverage. laughing.gif

It will be interesting to see how things play out with child custody and the distribution of the estate, and any conflict that entails. Day one. Wonder how many days will pass until the media have bled it dry.

which is a shame, farrah was a classy person.

Hopefully Carla will see your post and comment, Minnew. Her husband went through a terrible time with security clearances. They weren't even going to let him marry her! ohmy.gif


Carla! helpsmilie.gif

I have heard that if you are a contractor it takes alot longer to get the clearance and they are more stringent with the requirements. I guess if there is any issues, he will be taking it up with his supervisors and commander, with hope that it can get sorted out. Before we were engaged and talking about marriage he spoke with his commander to be sure marrying a "foreign national" would not cause any issues with his job. He was told it would not. At least I hope not. unsure.gif


Well, my husband wasn't a contractor, but his security clearance was such that we had to have their written permission before we could even start this visa process. Perhaps because he wasn't a contractor? The clearance had to come from "others", I can't say who and didn't involve DHS as far as I know. I would suggest though that this is something different as it wasn't my husbands security clearance that was the issue, it was MINE, that's why we had to go through a process, almost two years, before I could be cleared. Are you sure it's HIM that's having to go through clearance? If it is him, then it's something routine, and is not like our situation at all and I'm sure you'll be good to go!

interesting - i didn't have to get written permission from anyone prior to marrying nessa. what branch of the military does he work for? if air force, that might be why, as they are sticklers for rules and regulations.

Cool and overcast here so far - only 77 - I still have the windows open. We had a huge storm come through yesterday - I was working about 15 miles away when it went overhead and we lost power. So I ended up driving home going back through the storm and beating it to the house where about 10 minutes later it came over the house too - rain like buckets being dumped. (At least I didn't have to water the garden!). The temperature plummeted from 89 degrees to 72 right after the storm but after the skies cleared it went back up to 88. It cooled off overnight though and it hasn't done that for a while, hence the open windows smile.gif . More storms expected today but right now it is that quiet ' waiting' period before bad weather moves in. I kind of like it like this.

ADVICE NEEDED

Some of you will remember a few months back, we wanted to get a doggie so bad but we were told by our landlord not allowed due to a stupid rule that only 1 dog is allowed per dulpex and the neighbor downstairs has a dog.

Anyway, a friend at my husband's work found this 1 year old poodle (important because I cannot have a dog that sheds) they took him to the humane society, tried to find it's owner. It has no microchip, no missing dogs were reported that matches this description. The HS wouldn't take the dog in, as they are overwhelmed with dogs and unforunately putting some to sleep.

She wants us to take the little guy as he is so cute and sweet and needs a loving home. I want to SO bad but I'm scared we'll get caught, it's in our lease no dogs I don't want to be evicted over a dog. My husband says if she finds out we just say we're dogsitting but you can only do that for so long! Our lease isn't up until Nov. 1.

I am not a rebel and don't want to stray against the rules LOL.

What would YOU do?!

if you want the dog that bad, you can always board it until you move.
