Sorry to hear you are parted at Xmas JD. I had a huge row with Mrs Hawtree last night so Xmas has been a silent affair so far. Feels like I am on my own, which may be where this is all headed. I keep thinking 2021 cannot be worse than 2020 but its certainly possible.

Sorry can go a long way. You have likely been togther long enough to get ovet it. And we alll know that you are a fine man. Really hoping you can find a cheerier day. Keep well. What's her favourite film? Best wishes
 

Wishing you all the best and a wonderful Christmas, JD!
Some years ago, my wife and I had a hell of a time with her green card application (she was here in a PhD program) and the one thing that helped was contacting our local Congressman. His office tracked down that USCIS lost the application and things progress much faster afterwards. You’ve probably already tried something like this but I figured it was worth mentioning (as I hadn’t thought doing this until someone recommended it).

John, I'm sorry to hear you are having to spend Christmas alone. As a person that had to deal with US immigration system I know how slow this process can be. Hopefully with the new president things will be more efficient in the upcoming year and you will be able to reunite with your wife soon. Sending a warm and big hug your way. Feliz Natal!

So ironically, over the years, GOT has been one of the few places online I actually open up about stuff. I generally swerve posting anything too personal on FB etc. But this place has always been kind of a safe haven. So here goes.

I'm really struggling atm. There's a lot of factors coming into play at once:

A few months ago, I smashed my car up and it was so old I didn't have replacement insurance (it wasn't worth much other than it drove me places), so I've been without transport since. Luckily I live in a neighborhood where everything I need is walking distance. But I can't even just get in the car and drive to get away or go anywhere that isn't walking distance without paying a fortune for Uber etc.

Obviously, Covid has limited social interaction to the point where I don't really have any other than the clerk at the store. It's been bearable up until recently where it's felt less so.

As some of you old-timers know, I married a Brazilian woman about 2.5 years ago. She's still there. Without getting into the politics of Immigration here in the US, let's just say it's not been the best time to do this over the last few years. So we're separated and have been. Normally I would be there, but with Covid and some financial limitations, I'm home. Alone.

I'll be ok. I just needed to say it out loud. And if anyone else is feeling isolated right now, I'm with you.

Covid is a big problem too. No interviews even scheduled since March, and Brazil is bad so no clue when they will.

Hey buddy! You're still hanging out with us Evertonians? Love it. Always think of you when I watch Palace mate. How you doing in Tier 4 or whatever South London is now?

Living in Wiltshire mate. Tier 2. Very lucky compared to a lot of people. My Evertonian son & his family a few miles down the road towards Bristol in Tier 3. Tough for them with two small kids in the house. Hope all is much better for everyone very soon.
