Yup. Going through it now with my Candian husband (as of January) and he was here on a TN visa, so it made the process a little easier. But it’s still very expensive, nerve-wracking, and filled with uncertainty. This article is just the kind of dumb shit we had to hear when we were dating “Oh, just get married! Then…

Um, no. You sounds really uninformed. I’m going through the green card process with my own spouse now and it is no joke. It’s also thousands of dollars in lawyers and legal fees. There’s a lot of predatory people out there looking to take advantage of a stressful/vulnerable situation. You have to show that you…

I feel like a bad person for being bummed that my best friend seems to not have given us a wedding gift. Especially when we traveled to her out of town wedding, stayed in a hotel, and gave her cash. It just seems... not balanced? We paid for our own wedding. No bachelorette/bachelor stuff or shower. It was a local…

I got some really great Groupons for intro to photography courses and I highly recommend looking for deals. I really knew nothing about all the buttons on my camera before and it’s such a waste of money to stay uneducated. 3 classes still cost about half of the camera’s price. Very worth it to at least take one…

Okay, glad it’s not just me. I got a lump in my throat.

Man, I loved that show. Quietly awesome and pretty clever. Too quiet and clever for ratings though. Boo.

My dad was in the Coast Guard for 25 years, retired last April. He’s been to Syria, Afghanistan, Russia, Cuba, Haiti, and helped people evacuate lower Manhattan on 9/11. The Coast Guard is the Rodney Dangerfield of the military. (And they were military until 9/11.) They go everywhere the Navy goes. They stop actual…

Yes. My sister-in-law passed away less than 4 months after official diagnosis. By the time it was found, they couldn’t even perform surgery. It was indescribable, how cruel this cancer was. She was 43.

Same. I was here for 9/11, too. NYC is an attractive target for all the reasons you mention. Hell, the darkest part of my mind says wouldn’t it just play better to his base if Melania and their son were caught up in it too? Like some Liam Neeson revenge fantasy played out on a large stage. It’s terrible, I know.

I…

You almost had me there until Depp. Christ, why do people keep putting that bloated wife-beater in movies? Ruined Fantastic Beasts for me, just seeing him there. He’s so gross.

I just filed last night! I try to do it before April, but I really needed it fast because I got married last week and now we’re submitting all of my spouse’s (still getting used to that!) immigration paperwork. Most romantic honeymoon ever. Especially when I couldn’t find my AGI from 2015 and the IRS website crashed…

Great job! I love to cook but I know a lot of people are intimidated by recipes and don’t even try. I think maybe it’s an organizational brain thing. Or it just seems like a lot of effort, but isn’t once you get into the right mode. Focus on the end goal: NOM.

No, it’s completely nasty.

I think Gamestop had a Golden Guns pack for preoders. Kinda looked silly, but I’m a completest. Which means I’m prepared to pick ALL THE NEW FLOWERS.

Well, they did create that incredible Undead Nightmare DLC for RDR, so maybe it’ll happen again. I agree, though, when it comes to GTA I don’t play online because people are such jerks sometimes, so I wish we got some single-player stuff like Ballad of Gay Tony or The Lost & The Damned. Once I beat GTAV, I didn’t have…

I know. I love RDR so much, I’m just grateful it’s confirmed as coming. The tiniest peek made me happy after all the E3 speculation the last 2 years. I’ll hold off on pre-ordering til I see what bonuses might be available from different retailers.

*Kermit flail* Is this proof that 2017 will in fact be better than the garbage fire that is 2016? I think so!

I like that theory, but feel the time reveal might be a little cheap.

Same. Watched for Bowie but became a huge Jeffrey Wright fan after that. I just watched the first few episodes of Westword - he’s predictably fantastic in it.

Aw. “A Jayne Mansfield body with a Margaret Hamilton face,” is how Waters described her. Loved her in Cry-Baby. The way she twisted her face up was just hilarious and one of the more memorable bits of the movie.
