Re: Plan B...Argh! What is Plan B!!

I was under the impression that the rules are different for getting married in a registry office to getting married in a church, as far as the Certificate of Approval. I don't think churches require...

Re: How to change my attitude!!

Re: asians having an easier time gettin work in the States?

4-6 weeks is the norm, except if you're returning from living overseas it can take up to 3 months. Mine took about 11 weeks, and I got through savings needed for other things. Returning to the UK...

Re: Do you love chickens?
