OK that sounds completely bat shit crazy! Your ex is a whacko. I'm so glad you got out. Very threatening, and completely awful to come to your work. I'm so sorry you went through all that!
Mine just came uninvited to my birthday party and was saying things like "can't we be grown ups and not hate each other' etc…

Yes, I understand those feelings completely. It's sad yet comforting to know other people went through similar pain, though I would never wish it on anyone.

I had an ex do that to me too.

I do agree with what you're saying

HOWEVER.... I think that the majority of her article was to the tune of 'look at all these cool things I did in Turkey... and then there were protests" which IS innappropriate. It's fine to do it in this situation, but not really that sensative to lump it together with a commentary…

Reading the original post makes my eyes bleed.
Seriously?!?!
As someone who proudly sports more stamps on my passport than I have years I have to say that there are SO MANY of these people around. Yes, they're not just American. I'm usually ashamed to say I'm Australian (I've dual citizenship) when I travel due to the…

Yayyyyy! Go you! :)

Yep yep, I know what you mean. Summer is uncomfortable enough already without worrying about this.

I'm 24 too and am also totally paranoid, particularly on the subway when people usually have nothing else to do but stare at you. As I do not have the disposable income to alter my clothing (nor will I ever, probably),…

But, you know, as a woman, you're not supposed to exist with a body at all, only if it's to be sexy, but even then... shame on you, harlot! You made them look!

I have the same problem. Size 4 bottoms but a size 14 shirt still wont stop the popping. Such a drag when I'm trying to look professional for important interviews or conferences. Why is it that so many women have this problem? Can we agree that ladies sizes, their fluctuations and all round ridiculousness is just…

OMG this gif. You're awesome.

I did some snooping to look at what she was wearing, and the pictures on other sites were gorgeous. She looked lovely. So yes, this school is completely bananas. And yes, it is all about making ladies (particularly young, impressionable high school ladies) feel ashamed of their bodies.

I had/have the same problem...…

You're right. France, for example, makes it super hard (10 years of permanent residency for citizenship!), and Australia is pretty tough too (depending on where you're coming from).

Yay for your friend! Most of my friends are here on H1-Bs too... finance sector, go figure. Some even managed to get green cards (double yay)
I'm about to apply for my student F1 visa and have been through this process so many times. The fingerprinting, 34,506 page applications and expensive yet extreeeeemely brief…

The whole visa system in the US is completely broken. It's a protectionist strategy that denies THOUSANDS of really, really, REALLY qualified people. Case in point: an acquaintance of mine, after starting a successful company in NYC, employing many Americans and investing about half a million $$$ in the economy, was…
