11622. neato - 10/11/2004 2:44:56 PM Yeah. I suppose so.
11623. Magoseph - 10/11/2004 3:03:07 PM I couldn't bring myself to become a citizen when I could have. I did it finally because I had a son and his father thought that I should do it for his sake.
11624. neato - 10/11/2004 3:22:09 PM So you didn't do it because you loved America? 11625. alistairconnor - 10/11/2004 3:30:45 PM I also waited ten years before doing anything about it.
When I took the plunge, it was done in a jiffy... give or take three or four years.
I still haven't got my identity card. But I'm the proud owner of a French birth certificate. 11626. neato - 10/11/2004 3:33:19 PM Whose birth certificate?
Alistair,Mago - have you got dual citizenship? 11627. Magoseph - 10/11/2004 3:33:51 PM I felt then that I had the right to live here as a permanent citizen. Of course, I loved this country, otherwise I wouldn't have come here. 11628. PsychProf - 10/11/2004 5:21:45 PM
GOODBYE CRISTOPHER
11629. alistairconnor - 10/11/2004 5:27:09 PM Yes, Dual citizenship. Much the same motivation for me : I went to some trouble to validate the NZ citizenship of my daughters, then it occurred to me that it was odd that I shouldn't have the same citizenship as them.
My French birth certificate is a French attestation that I was born, not an attestation that I was born in France. Can't do anything without it.
11630. Magoseph - 10/11/2004 8:28:56 PM Neato, I don't have a French passport anymore and my sons were born here. 11631. SnowOwl - 10/11/2004 8:49:49 PM I'm the only person in my family who doesn't have mroe than one citizenship. All my kids have NZ and British citizenship, and the oldest has now added Swedish to his tally.
When I could have got British citizenship I didn't bother, but it slightly peeves me now, because it always takes me much longer to clear immigration when we travel to the UK or Europe than it does them. 11632. Magoseph - 10/11/2004 10:32:29 PM My husband’s doctor insisted that I have the flu shot because Flexy is to have an operation on the carotid artery in the near future. The hospital's lobby where the doctor’s office is situated, was crowded with seniors as was the parking lot with their SUVs. I asked the nurse why these evidently well-heeled people didn’t go to their doctors, instead of waiting in line for a long time in the lobby hobbling around with canes and walkers. She looked at me pityingly and said “You don’t know much about Republicans, do you?” 11633. Bill Russell - 10/12/2004 7:08:07 AM " I asked the nurse why these evidently well-heeled people didn’t go to their doctors, instead of waiting in line for a long time in the lobby hobbling around with canes and walkers. "
Due to the severe shortage of vaccine, their doctors may not have any. 11634. Ulgine Barrows - 10/12/2004 9:15:20 AM 11616 "Time for lunch! I think I'll have a lousy sandwich from the machine. "
Oh, please, tell me you're joking.
Those machine sandwiches are vile. I had one, once. 11635. Ulgine Barrows - 10/12/2004 9:18:44 AM I think my husband eats machine sandwiches often, despite his income and knowledge.
Yuk.
I am going to have some lovely soup for lunch tomorrow, I think. 11636. alistairconnor - 10/12/2004 9:25:50 AM Today I bought a baguette from the bakery in the first village I drive through, and I will make my own sandwich. 11637. Macnas - 10/12/2004 9:28:20 AM Now that would be nice, really fresh bread. 11638. Magoseph - 10/12/2004 3:15:48 PM SnowOwl, where do your kids live now?
Bill, that’s not the answer. I don’t know the answer. I didn’t have enough time to ask the nurse to elaborate on what she meant by that remark.
Hello, Ulgine, Ali, and Mac.
11639. judithathome - 10/12/2004 3:26:00 PM She meant they are cheap. 11640. Macnas - 10/12/2004 3:43:10 PM Hello Mago. 11641. Magoseph - 10/12/2004 4:35:42 PM Hi, Mac, are you on your way out?
Juds, how are you today? I suppose you're bery busy with your visitors.
