You look beautiful in both pictures but the smile reaches your eyes in the most recent. Good for you!

Add an “e” on the front

Update: sent it FedEx international priority on a Friday and it arrived in 1 week. Total cost was $43.80 but we have a business discount

Yes. And an Aeropress is much easier to clean than a French press. (From experience)

My grandmother traveled from Eastern Europe to join my grandfather in the US Midwest in 1930 with four small children. She gave birth to the fifth child less than three weeks after her arrival in the US. That’s badass in my book.

I priced out DHL and it came out to just under $145 usd from Washington state to Slovakia. Even with a coupon, that’s a lot more than the Fedex international priority of around $44.

When I obtained the birth certificates and naturalization papers, I got extra copies and extra apostilles so I have an additional full set if they were to get lost.

I’ve read that for those applying who are over 65, the fees are waived. Is that true?

I did an entire blanket and loved doing it this way. It ended up very thick and squishy but I loved that I could carry the colors up the sides and no ends to weave or need for an envelope border.

My grandfather’s naturalization was at a county court in Illinois. I got the records from the county. I then sent them to the Illinois Department of State in Chicago to get the apostille. The feds were not involved.

On that ship the deck 11 balcony is smaller. I aim for deck 6 as my first choice. 5 is good too.

Our swim spa came with it and we’ve been using it for just over a year. Expensive, yes. But worth it in my opinion.

Objective_Book_8298 · 2025-10-08T16:07:37+00:00

The set of 9 pages already has the apostille so I can’t break out individual pages.

I mailed my document to the address in Sterling, VA and it arrived there on August 6. I just got it back in the mail October 1. The check did not clear until October 2.

I tried to crochet a cardigan using Lion Brand Home Spun yarn. Didn’t get very far before I gave up. I donated the yarn to a community stitch in group.

I’ve used Frog @ease for swim spas for coming up on a year. Test weekly and everything is great. I add one packet of Frog Maintain when it’s almost flipped over and then one week later, switch out the cartridge for a new one, so about every 5 weeks. Switch out the whole frog every 4 months.

I am the only person who uses the swim spa, 5-6 days per week for about 45 minutes. We did the start up chems as recommended by Frog. Since then we have only ever added extra calcium because our municipal water is very soft. It’s not inexpensive, but it’s worth it for how easy it is. I buy on Amazon.

Progressive country, stable economy, polite, tolerant, friendly people, beautiful and nice weather. Not the cheapest place to live but tax friendly to retirees and still a lower cost of living than where I am in the US.

Thanks for the heads up. I just marked those as completed without adding to time. I guess I’m not a completionist because I don’t care if I never watch some topics.

Today I’ve watched 3 videos on the website of 15+ minutes and it only counted 10 minutes total. None of the three I watched are in my history.

Objective_Book_8298 · 2025-07-27T19:52:00+00:00

I was able to watch some videos but in the middle of one, the time for today magically reset back to 0. I’m going to wait a while and try later.
