As most of you old-schoolers know, Chris (Head Wreck) and I have been hand-fasted since April 4th of 2009. He is from South Wales, UK, and I've lived here in the Metro-Detroit area for most of my life. We decided that it would be best for me to move there, instead of him applying for citizenship here in the states. He has a good job, and a wonderful family. As for me, I don't have much to offer, in the way of comfortability or resources. Therefore, I have tied up most of my personal loose ends, applied for a marriage visa (which finally came in the mail, last week), and am headed away from the country of my birth, to begin a new life with the person I love.

Details:

Chris will be arriving here to help pack up and sell off/give away all of the stuff I won't be taking with me, on Monday, March 21st, at 1:30pm. He and I (and my two kitties) will be flying out of Detroit on Wednesday, April 6th, at 6:50pm. I won't be able to return to the states to visit until 2 years after we are legally married (as per UK immigration law).

Thanks again, to everyone who contributed their letters of personal reference for my visa, helped us with running errands, and everything else we have required assistance with! It is because of you, that we will finally be able to live our "happily ever-after."

We have lots to do here, to prepare for my big move---but we're going to try and schedule at least two social events, during his stay & before our departure. We're thinking about doing a group dinner date, and possibly throwing a going-away/anniversary party. We will keep you all posted, by way of this thread.

Im both sad and thrilled to be lossing one one of my best friends to a far away land. Dont forget that you dont have to be in the 'D' to be a part of DGN.

look at the bright side: now you have a place to crash over there.

on topic: all the happiness in the world to you and HW. If Wales is anything like Ireland, it'll be way beyond wonderful.

      How Are You Feeling? (cont'd)

      By TronRP · Posted

      I am currently floored.   FedEx did a massive 6 box delivery to the wrong address.  I had an autoship order scheduled to arrive before this past weekend.  Nothing showed up.  I contacted the order site and they had a link for the order...a photo of all my boxes thrown in the snow and up the sidewalk of a residence that was not mine.   You would think that at some point, the driver would have looked at the delivery address after they kept throwing box upon box at this location with no shelter from the elements.  They didn't even knock on the door to inform the residents that massive 65+ pound boxes were left all over their walkway.  Nope.  Just dumped them, took a photo as they were walking away and left.   I wonder what the person who found all of those misdelivered boxes must have been thinking when they saw them.  Maybe they kept everything to use, distribute or sell.  No idea.  No claim was filed on that end as of yet.   Fortunately for me, one of the sites that I ordered from, replaced everything at no extra cost.   Unfortunately, now I'm concerned for the other items yet to be delivered.   Needless to say, I'll be watching my notifications like a hawk.

      ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.
