Hello Brotherhood-I need your help??
« on: November 30, 2011, 07:35:13 am »
Alright maybe help is the wrong word-But could definitely use your support-well wishes- prayers -finger crossing -candle lighting- rabbit foot rubbing -salt over the shoulder help!!

After what seemed like a eternity of doing nothing, but sitting on my hands and waiting. About a week ago I heard from the NVC that my petition for Ping had been approved by them and was being sent on to the Guangzhou Consulate-Then BAM :o  appointment was scheduled  for December 21st. So after just sitting around doing nothing -This last week saw a flurry of paperwork-(both of my printers are totally out of ink now) and today I just mailed off the last of the paperwork . The U.S. postal service said that they would be delivered in 6-10 business days. Man I hope so!!!
1. Sent Ping money for her physical and trip to Guangzhou
2. Paper work done and sent off
3. Been making wishes -saying prayers-fingers crossed (toes too)-candle's  lit - rabbit's foot rubbed and salt all over the floor

Was told that she'll have their decision by December 22nd-So this is going to be either the best Christmas of my life or the worst! I'll either be dancing around the tree this year or hanging from it. ( alright sorry- I shouldn't have said that-anyways it's a artificial tree, the worst that would happen is the branch would pull out and hit me in the head)
This has to be the worst part-it is totally out of my hands now. I'll I can do now is THINK PINK- THINK PINK -THINK PINK

Good to see your making progress at last. I have my fingers crossed most of the time anyway so I can include you in it too. As for the "I can do now is THINK PINK- THINK PINK -THINK PINK" ? This is more info then I need, most or All the men here "Think Pink" all the time but don't announce it.   ;)

@ Vince G.  ;D ;D ;D  Sorry about that ;D ;D ;D Just goes to show you -how these Ladies can change our lives-Just a short year ago ....I would have caught that before it was written.  Now "THINK PINK" refers to the pink color of a approval letter .....Just goes to show how "ONE TRACK" my mind has become.  ;D ::)

Thanks Everyone!!!!
Your well wishes mean the World to me. This little group is something extra special. Just now remembering back to one of my very first postings here. When doubts and apprehensions not to mention my lack of understanding of the Chinese culture, were about to make me walk away from a truly life changing moment in my life.
It was you-all of you  (the Brotherhood) that helped me understand . From.....
Maxx   ( for your 24 hour rule--although it should be updated to 72 hours at least) THANKS
Crystal Tao      ( who guided me to this forum in the first place)  THANKS
Martin      ( who made me understand, that is was unlikely-the whole family who be involved in a scam-they weren't)  THANKS
Arnold   (whose blog and advice with humor helped me immensely -not to mention that his grammar helped me understand Ping's letters better ;D) THANKS
Robertt Snellgrove (who's postings of forms and requirements were indispensable ) THANKS
David E.  ( who was always there with more than a kind word) THANKS
Jason B (whose STILL clean shaven face made me understand that the "dragon" in Ping will never be tamed) THANKS
Willy the Londoner ( your stories from Middle Country are inspirational -if Ping does not get approved I'll be joining you) THANKS
Mikael_Shim  (for showing me in the right direction by example) THANKS
Mpo4747  ( for your friendship and always knowing the right thing to say at the right time) THANKS
RobertBfrom aust  (whose avatar of him in his robe -made it impossible to sleep at night -so I could stay awake talk to Ping) THANKS
Scottish Robbie ( for his friendship, railroad trains and penicillin ) THANKS
Irishman (although largely missing since his marriage-the site is still up and running-a heck of a IT guy) THANKS
Rhonald  (knows how to balance friendship ....and a umbrella)  THANKS
Chong (whose knowledge of China help me immensely -although Cheech was the talented one) THANKS
John1964  (for his friendship and showing me that your never to old to dream...... I was born in 1965) THANKS
Neil  ( who helped me single handily lose 10 pounds-I haven't eaten chocolate since we met) THANKS
Shaun  ( always ready with a kind word and advice) THANKS
Pineau (for friendship-advice-and the courage to take my shirt off in front of Ping) THANKS
Vince G (friendship and keeping me on my toes) Thanks
I am sorry if I forgot to mention anyone by name please know it WAS NOT intentional -There are just SO many people here that have helped me-This IS a GREAT place with GREAT friends-
It is because of you ....ALL OF YOU......That I now sit around getting gray hair and biting my fingernails >:(  THANKS!!!

I also appreciate your kind words and I'm more than happy to be of help , even if it's only through my Grammar  :o ! With Qing going to her ESL classes , she is actually helping ME with that department .. go figure ? Myself ( most of us here , I'm sure ) , it is such a pleasure to just being here under Friends from around the world .. to give back a little ( sometimes more ) from my happiness I found over the years .
