When You know it is just right

[mustfocus]

Thanks Willy,

The one thing I intend to do is what is right and the right time.  I will not do anything to cause undue financial pressure on myself.  Not intentionally anyway. Peggy and I discussed it last night and we are on the same page.  Yes it would be absolutely wonderful to go right now but rushing and paying extra for everything is not wise.

Peggy and I were talking this morning and a couple of things were said that caused a lot of serious discussion and laughing hysterically too.  It was almost midnight for her and I was dead on my feet.  I am not comfortable with sharing what was said but it would cause almost any hot blooded mail to rise up and pay attention.

Peggy's English is unbelievable for a woman who has only studied 7 months but sometimes we just can't understand each other.  For almost an hour she tried to tell me what the following sentence meant.  "Human who falls in love with bed altogether Hangzhou."  I can follow up to the word Hangzhou and then I am completely lost.  I can't tell you if it is a idiom or a cultural thing a portion of a saying that Chinese understand or if I need a definition for the word.  I know there is a city in China with that name but beyond that I am completely and totally lost.  Anyone have and ideas?

If she wasn't so important to me I would blow it off and move on but I think this is one of those things that reveals some of her character.

Hi Shaun,

Maybe you could get her to type it in Chinese as well and see what everyone thinks it actually means.

Thanks, I will ask her tomorrow night.

Shaun,

Been away yesterday so only just caught up.

Your passport system sounds so outdated and antiquated, it hardly seems possible for what is considered an advanced country!!!! What do you do if you need an emergency passport for gods sake  Seems as if your all in a ''catch 22'' situation to me, you can't get a fast-track passport unless you have a valid air/boat ticket, ...now who's going to chance buying a 4000 dollar ticket, for a specific date without having a passport in your hand??? What happens if there is a delay in the post.... your stuck with a worthless 4000 dollar ticket!!! ...Crazy!!!

I found out today, that in UK you can renew a full UK passport in 2 hours at a main passport office, for an extra cost of 50 pounds!!! ....and were the poor cousins according to you lot in the States!!!...lol!!!

David5o: its for businesses. I once had to go on a business trip and the company paid for the ticket. I then realized my passport expired 2 weeks ago. My boss wrote a letter and I had a Canadian password within 6 hours.

[David5o]

RegnisTheGreat,

Wrong, It's for emergency passport renewal, anyone can renew their passport at this section of the passport office. Many people (admittedly dim people) arrive at the airport only to find there passport is out of date, they can, an in many cases do, get there passport renewed  in an hour or so at a main passport office if they can show immediate travel arrangements in place. For London, that would be at the Petty France passport office....

David50: I'm talking about Canuckistan here not the UK. We're different here.

[David5o]

RegnisTheGreat,

Then i'm confused, Why did you post ''That's for Business'' as if implying that it's only for business purposes if your talking about a completly different country?? :huh:

David....

[RegnisTheGreat]

My mistake. My brain has been dead all day. I'll delete my post.

In the US the system is horrible and a racket.  I have not seen a change in 33 years with the exception of using the postal service to get them.  All there really do is make sure the paperwork is correct, take a picture and file it.  Then the Post Office charges $25.00 for making sure YOU did it right.  Paying for the photos; not a problem.

Quickest way to get one is at a foreign embassy.  I got my first in Juarez, Mexico.  Don't ask me how.  The statute of limitations do not apply. :icon_cheesygrin:

[David5o]

Shaun,

I don't know about it being a racket or not, but it certainly seems like a crazy system you have there. That ''catch 22'' situation is just too crazy for words.... Seems like it's gone from a totally in personal application to a postal system, without anything in-between.

I can understand the proof of immediate travel commitment for an emergency passport made in person, but not for a postal application, where any delay in receiving your passport could and would nullify your travel ticket.... absolute nonsense. !!!!

Hello o wise gentlemen.  I may have an issue here.  Peggy and I have been talking a lot.  We've talked about love a lot.  We have both said I love you to each other.  There is a huge attraction between us.  I think this is real and the one.  But tonight she pulled a new one on me.  She is saying she is my wife and I am her husband.  She goes on a little later to say that I should behave because she is my wife.

I am not exactly sure what to say to her about this.  Totally left field.  I immediately applied Maxx's 24 hour rule and am still talking with her right now.  Should I say something or let it pass?  Or is this a ploy to get me to commit to her?

Shaun

[RegnisTheGreat]

Shaun: I'm confused, have you gone to visit her yet? If so how many times? If not when is it planned for?

Jim,

Thanks.  I know it is a good thing but she already had us married. I was kind of worried.  But 24 hour rules.  I said nothing and later she made a comment.  If we get married.   Whew.  I think she was messing with me.

Shaun

Shaun,

hahahahahaha :icon_cheesygrin: dude, do you love her? If so, why not just go with this? This sounds like she is serious on this commitment! This is a good thing! :icon_biggrin:

Shaun , now you learning about the commitment that a lovely Chinese lady will make to her man who she trusts , what she is saying in fact is she is off the market and so should you be until you are face to face , she is relaxed and happy , funny how regular web cam sessions can do this , and to all the skeptics , this is just another way of a Chinese lady calling you , her Lao Gong or you calling her, your Lao Po well before it would be said in the the very new western world , regards Ying and Robert .

Shaun, and so the hook sunk deeper into the great white whale as captian shaun rode upon its back, and if his heart was a spear he would have cast it upon the creature.  LOL

She is setting the hook deeper shaun so you don't get away, be afraid, very afraid.....lol

Next thing, she'll want your help in naming the children she is planning.....lol
