He got approved!!!!!
I can’t honestly say that the entire weight has been lifted from my shoulders, but it is a bit like someone has rolled one of the boulders off the cart I’m pulling.
The consular official said he was “an ideal candidate,” and teased him that we already had enough lefties in the U.S.
I am so relieved. So, so relieved.
Thank you, Lord.
Thank you to everyone who prayed on our behalf.
Thank you, Blessed Mother.
Thank you, U.S. Government.
I could go sleep for a week now. If I didn’t have to work, and take care of cats, and volunteer at the Women’s Conference, that is. But yeah. I think I might take a nap on my lunch hour.
Good night, moon (or sun, in this case).
Now to try to focus on work again - it’s been a bit of a lost cause this morning, between the flu shot and the news.
Deep breaths.
YAY!!!!! That’s awesome! I don’t know if congrats is the correct term right now, but CONGRATS!!!
So HAPPY to hear this news!!! Just knew that he would be approved - I mean, come on, there is no reason in the whole wide world that he wouldn’t. Unless, someone decided to be plain mean, that is. But honestly, the gentleman-Caunck is very approvable - yes, I know not a real word, I was going for feeling there!
All of the “sniffling rabbits” send their warmest and happiest congratulations!
Yay!
WOO HOO!!!
(Doing a really embarrassing end-zone touchdown dance!)
Now, we must begin the indoctrination.
HAT, not “took”
CANADIAN bacon, not back bacon
“HUH?”, not “Eh?”
SUNUVA…, not “hoser”
….and so on….
Stacy: Thanks!!I’m going to go with the assumption that “congrats” is the correct term.
Jill: Thank you to you and all the other “sniffing rabbits”! I must admit that I’m blushing a little as I read “gentleman-Canuck”
Foxfier: Thank you!!
Kit: I have been known to use the term “hat” on occassion - I usually reserve “took” (or as we spell it up here, “toque”, “tuque”, or “touque”) is reserved for warm, fuzzy, usually woolen hats that sometimes have little pom-poms affixed to the top. I don’t really care for Canadian bacon/back bacon. I prefer mine to be of type that comes in long strips that gets all curly and crispy when cooked. I think I use “huh?” from time to time, but “eh” is a much more versatile term. In that respect it’s like certain expletives with which I’m sure we’re all familiar. Finally, I only use “hoser” when I’m being goofy, I am MUCH more apt to use “SUNUVA…” or it’s more explicit relative (you know, the one that has 4 syllables rather than 3).
With all that being said, I prefer coffee to tea, baseball to hockey. Of course, I do kind of like my football with 3 downs and 110 yards so maybe all hope is lost on the cultural Americanization of this Canuck
I should add, Kit, that when Canuck and I first met, a certain Big Seester was concerned that he might…ah…bat for the other team. Why? Well, because he referred to a woolen hat as a “tuque”. She had never heard the term, and wanted to know what kind of red-blooded man could possibly know the proper name of ANY hat? :-p
(She has long since given her enthusiastic approbation, though, now that she knows he’s not going to be eyeing the pretty boys over my shoulder…
)
LOFrigginL!!! Oh, all right Canuck - you’re “in”! (I remain slightly concerned about any man whose tuque has a pompon on it, however…)
Kit:
No need to be concerned about this man, his tuque does not have a pom-pom on it
Okay, but he still has to go through the double-super-secret initiation ritual at midnight like everyone else does who got into this damn nation by hook or crook to do their dirty deeds. Is it “The Paddling Of The Swollen Asses . . . With Paddles”? Or just the throw of a dart?
Re: batting for the other team (and with criquet bats I might add). . . that’s a QED. As the joke goes: “is he gay, or just British?”
Also: Canuck . . . sorry, but you must once and forever disproclaim Rush and transfer all loyalties to Led Zeppelin. Ditto Leonard Cohen for Lou Reed.
