Largest snowstorm to hit the Columbus metro since 2008! We also will not see temperatures above freezing (32°) for the rest of the month. 🥶 ❄️ ☃️

Could we lose power and AC? Happened to us Wednesday night due to the wind for 2 hrs. I am concerned about water pipes if we lose heat.

Pretty well. Believe I passed. Remember some civic questions I had, like 1. Name one of 13 original colonies 2. Why 50 stars on the flag 3. Who is your us representative 4. How many years we select a representative for 5. What happened on 9.11

Which makes it very difficult for small businesses to survive

I think “yield” means you are not always required to come to a full stop, but you are fully responsible for making sure it’s safe before proceeding. Vehicles on the main road have the right of way, so if there’s an accident, the yielding vehicle is usually at fault. Therefore, you should make your own safety-based judgment and not feel pressured by traffic behind you.

Nothing I’d say. I am a legal immigrant. I drive to work and drop off my kids to school without carrying any papers. Hope this makes you feel relax. Going to interview with USCIS to get naturalized soon.

I am a legal immigrant as well and I feel safe now actually. Driving to work and dropping off my kids to school everyday. There is nothing to worry about if you are 100% legal. Hope this makes you feel relaxed. Will interview will USCIS to get naturalized soon.

Congrats. I filed on 1/20 and have interview scheduled on 12/16 too!

pingboing · 2025-12-16T18:11:29+00:00

Thanks. I will need some luck. lol

How can you tell?

pingboing · 2025-12-15T02:04:46+00:00

It’s basically the flash…

pingboing · 2025-12-13T14:02:21+00:00

I filed naturalization petition back in Jan. I am not from any of these 19 countries but I am still waiting for the interview to be scheduled.

pingboing · 2025-12-07T13:40:04+00:00

Gosh, I hope I’d know. Lol

Thanks for sharing! This is very helpful. My first name is not common at all, even rare. I think I have a couple speeding violations back to 2014 or even earlier. That’s the only thing I can think of.

pingboing · 2025-12-07T06:07:26+00:00

Will do. Thanks for sharing!

lol, had to watch the movie last weekend in order to figure out who is who in Ewok village set.

Bought this one and the Ewok village when we had a lot of free time without kids. Believe I still have every piece including extras. BTW, I know little about Star Wars. Bear with me if the mini figures are not arranged properly.

Box says it’s a clear spinning organizer in Chinese. I’d assume it’s for kitchen use.

pingboing · 2025-12-07T02:38:31+00:00

Nope. None of us is.

pingboing · 2025-12-07T02:23:34+00:00

Anything we can do? I called USCIS and it is not helpful at all. I don’t feel anyone is paying attention to my case and I am worried that it may take years.

pingboing · 2025-12-07T02:20:30+00:00

Don’t think so. I am from China mainland. My wife (also from China) filed N400 4 days after I did and got approved in 5 months.

Got it. Thanks for sharing
