Don't you feel a bit dirty posting links like that?

Sometimes I check their footie page and something else catches my eye.

I presume it was in a plane? If not I'm impressed

Could be worse. I mean, it might not actually have been turbulence, just.......

No. The plane we were waiting for left another city on the way to LA but had to do a return to the airport due to an emergency of some sort.

Not too bad all in all. Only 3 hours late in the end.

Just dont fly on the E170/E175 aircraft in coach if your tall. You will not be a happy camper.

It says he was suspended, but it doesn't say what from.

Delta wont let me check in online due to having no return date and a US passport.

Their website doesnt have an option to say your a PR and enter your PR number.

No biggie to check in at the airport.

After having spent the week in and around So. California and AZ, I do beleive its impossible for me to be happy in Canada.

Even my wife notice that my mood and overall self was happier when here.

I have to say I think a lot of how I feel is situational and simply disliking where I live.

Hard to feel happy and have overall wellbeing if your situation as to where you live brings you down so much.

You were on holiday, were you not? No need to look at the disadvantages of those places, just a chance to enjoy the best of them, of course you'd be happier.

When I was living here in 2010 and 2011 as well things were better.

Better job.
People around more.
More things to do.

Etc.

And having family around makes a huge difference as well.

I only have my wife in Canada no friends so its hard at times not having other people and support.

Cant even think of a job I disliked in California where in the 12 years in BC, Ive never managed to get a job I liked or did well at.

You’re an American and she’s Canadian, you’re not going to be happy up here and she’s probably not happy going down there and then there’s your living situation to consider.

She wants to live there. Only thing keeping us is the money the US govt charges and my lack of income of an appropriate level.

Sorry Jsmth, but - what do you mean by 'the money the US govt charges? For what?

Your income isn't stellar in Canada from what you have mentioned, would you be much worse off financially, especially if you weighed it up with your sense of well being happiness and self confidence?

Does he have to have a certain amount to sponsor her to live in the US like we would if we were taking a Canadian spouse back to the UK?

May Js you have to go back first and get the better job if that's the case?

The immigration fees the US charges.

There is also the income requirement as there is a minimum amount needed to sponsor which I dont make and may not be able to.

Current min is 20,025 USD per year which might be doable if I am working in the US.

I have been applying to jobs in the US as our plan would be for me to move first. However I cant move until I had a job and so far all I have gotten is contact us once you move.

I am not a skilled worker and the jobs I can get have no interest in doing skype interviews and hiring someone who lives a thousand miles way and needs a few weeks to relocate.

I am also applying for jobs in Bellingham which ai can commute to from Canada.

Its something I have been working on for much of the year.
