sleepless in Houston&CQ

Yo Henry first I should say howdy and welcome to CFL wonderland..... I don't get on here much anymore. Someone higher up the food chain and Obama wanted change, seems they got it As Randy.... kinda hinted most of us are busy in our on little part of God's country known as TEXAS. With my lovely wife going to College and me busy trying to get all the bail out money the two Auto Mfgs would spend. Well time is something we have little of right now.... but........................ summer is coming and the bail out money is gone My golf clubs are cleaned and I'm ready to play with some balls and have a few cool drinks with those funny lit tooth picks in them #1 As I recall Andrew "urkiddin" did the first one with BBQ at Bear Creek Park..... ok maybe that wasn't the name?? #2 Jim did a get together down in La Grange.... just a hop and a skip away from where the Chicken Ranch use to be #3 we did a get together at our home out here next to CutnShoot.... "

Randy is smart those guys ain't packing but If you notice those eyes don't look like "Happy Eyes"

finished by professional "Ballologists!" It's coated and sealed with polyethylene, the average size is 6 x 7" and no two are alike. Solid Oak mount base with rawhide top trim laces. Fill it with candy, coins or beef jerky! Thanks Randy!! that just so worng on so many levels... lol

Thanks iDave but while reading the title. I kinda thought this was goin in different.... you know like a BULL that has no berries?

Thats strange cuz our 2 year GC was from the date we enter the States "POE". Yeap I just check it again, from the date that we enter SF aka "POE" ... but maybe CR1 is a tad different?

I file my lovely wifes papers for her 10 GC back in mid Dec Yesterday "1/21/09" we went in for her interview as they called it, but there was no interview only finger prints and photos was take. In was very painless, less than 15 minutes in and out. Emma was so worried cuz she didn't have her passport as it was sent off to be renewed.... The only things that was ask for was...... the paper showing we had an apointment, Texas DL and her 2 year GC. Really I was suprised on how these folks handle things and to tell the truth they was even nice and showed a smile to everyone Was told from 2-4 months before the 10 year green card would appear in our mail box....... guess we will see if thats true or not...

Dang Nuworld that has got to be a record and no sir I ain't pickin on you... so don't go there... please? as long as the both of you are happy thats all that matters I hope y'all live together and or happy for the next 100 years

I hate to bring this up and don't want to put salt in anyones wound but, I'm not trying to start a pi$$in contest but, some folks got pink and had only known there other half a few weeks. As for me I was in no hurry to tie the knot and made plenty of trips across the pond.... in saying that I know many folks can't get the time off from work and for others I'm sure there are or other reasons.

Darnell..... seems we both forgot something don't forget to try out all the rooms... in your home, condo, apartment, etc..... etc...... You get the next 21 months without much paper work and most important have fun!!

Darnell, it seems you forgot something "State ID Card" should be done after SS is in hand, then banking stuff, etc, then get "State DL", that is unless you don't want her/him to drive but thats JMO

some where back bout three pages ago this thread took a hard left turn and went down the wrong road..... maybe the good old days or comin back when men or men and goats or just stinkin goats

Well Extortion and Bribery really sounds bad ain't thier any other words we could use? like you scratch my back and or turn your evil eyes and I'll pad your wallet You know just to sugar coat the hold truth and nothing but the truth

Well Mr Roggie aka ur hinneynass.... bills are a lot easier to carry 1,000,000.00 yuan but better yet if-in it was in US dollars..... I mean you work for the US Gummit... I trust that you can take care of this tiny problem.... Dam did I just say I trust lit ol Roggie? Its not like its a bail out or even a loan, after all I could sell-em "my new hammer and throw in a new book that old St. Nick left me" you know just to sweeten the pot I'm thinkin this falls in the line with appreciating....

Well gezz thanks Roggie but..... I want be needin your 1000 yuan In fact I won 4.6 milion today, but I order to collect my 4.6 million "Which is in the form of a Cashiers Check" I have to go to Western Union and send this firm 500usd on second thought get my 10,000 yuan ready Roggie maybe its worth a travel to the frozen tundra for 100,000 yuan

Darn Roggie you gonna marry this lit lady two times? My guess is once ain't enough for you? You folks in ChezWizConSin sure do strange thingies.. guess its all that cold air you folks breathe in? Can't blame I would marry my wife again.... so long we'er both the same side of that big pond life with that big pond tween you.... well it really sucks

I knew it!!! I knew it all alone that u was nothing more than a URROYALHINEYNESS..... for a few years thats what I have called you but as I recall the way I put it Roggie.... it was no so "PC" OK I ain't so smart in math but .. now I see the light and the truth and the "PC way" and cents we have a change coming in our future.... one would think apprecating is the only way to go so did I win???

I just love this time of the year... spreading love around durning the holidays makes everyone feel loved.... love you Roggie... not really but it sounded good.... huh?

Well bro Dave As I recall it seems we was the only couple in the office at this time. as it was durning or around the lunch hour The cute lit gal that waited on us did share her hot-n-spicy noddles with us and she also got to pratice her english skills..... Heck I felt proud as I was able to teach her a few Texas Redneck words. Yeap your right the paper (s) was just fill in the blanks, It was easy even for a TEXAN, as everyone knows I ain't so smart in math. As I recall they even take the photos for the two famous "Red Books" 3 photos total... the wife, then me and us together. Now the cute lit gal types all the info in the computer, checks to make sure we are both single, down loads the photos, prints and paste them to the famous "RedBook" and to her paper work Sign here and here, and pay, then the cute gal said a few words.... and now your married... You get two Redbooks and we also got two gold Chinese coins in a cute lit red box oh BTW they do keep the single paper (s) showing your single and able to marry, and the one that was translated into Chinese with the famous Chinese Red seal/numbers on it... so its best to have extra copies made... Clear copies as you may need them down the road. "yeap as you can see the paper work in China is a real night mare" but as I said before.... getting married in China aint' right for everyone

And what exactly are those nightmares? spoken from experience?Hmmm, 1 hour to single certificate and then the little red book. Yeah, a total nighmare. Yeap "our lit RedBook" took about the same time 1- 2 hours bout as easy as ordering StarBucks coffee.... ok not that fast but, it was no nightmare and I'm talking from experience. or you? I'm not saying getting married in China is right for everyone I'm sure some have had nightmares, and I'm sure some of it was just "BS" and some where there paper work was not correct, etc and some had a third party with there lit fingers in the pie.... like the ex or other family members Some folks have no ideal.....

We went CR1 and I would not have done it any other way. JMO... My lovely wife wanted to do K3 cuz those gals on 001 said that was the only way to go..... but I put my foot down and say NO way Jose!! and yes it was like steppin on a land mine but today she will tell you I did the correct way Everyone has there reason for filing which ever way that see fit. But it took us less than 1 year... 347 days from start to finish and no we didn't use a Lawyer. Just remember... First in does not mean first out.. in other words just because your file is on top today, tomorrow it maybe on the bottom of the pile or heck maybe hindin under someones desk.... best wishes

No No Unkie Bobby... You got it mixed up.. Roger has a wheel chair on order... http://i26.tinypic.com/2qjyh5c.jpg one of them portable ones so he can take to China! opps Sorry bout the mix up, Ur not Kiddin Me. guess one could say I got cornfused crap like this happens when you get old

Oh hell let-em build it Doesn't everyone need a aircraft carrier? I bet Roggie has one on order

And I thought AC-DC meant something completely different Darn you learn so much here in CFL wonderland

Well shippin stuff by a freight container ain't cheap. We had a 20" container full and plus on 5 of my 7 trips back to the states I always carrired some of my wife's and or son stuff....books, cloths, shoes, purses, etc... opposs I forget to say shoes and purses? Now of course the purses belong to the wifie not the son Even a beautiful new leather Chinese sofa and love seat We did ship some stuff viva China post but we lost one box and some of the boxes looked like they had be through hell and was ready to tear open the next time they was picked up and or droped. Only one picture frame was broken out of all this shippin..... so all in all the wifie was happy and everyone knows a happy wife means a happy home.... so the money was well spent... JMO Get some rest and enjoy ya'lls life together

Roggie Thanks for pointing out "The Good, The Bad, n The Ugly" oh and the changing thingies in our wifes Mother land..... u du Man and I hope to grown up and be just like you.... one day.... Now I see the light and understand why Don gave you full ModShip
