Any luck getting through your immigration red tape problems yet?

And are you still in contact with your wife? The last guy I knew that had similar problems related to bride importation has not heard from her in about 9 months or so, and is trying to work on getting his Canadian marriage (that's as close to the US as he got her) annulled without her presence.

The paperwork is filed, and I'm just waiting. I call her, email her, write letters to her every other day, and meet her online on the webcam on weekends. We're very much in love, and very much in contact. I can't even say how much we miss each other. :(

According to ladder theory then, you were on top of the friends ladder and slipped into the shag/potential relationship ladder, only to be subsequently replaced with someone on a higher rung...

As much as I outwardly contest the assumption that beneath my pleasant and genuine emotional exterior lies a cold-hearted malevolent status obsessed bitch, there does appear to be more than a few grains of truth in the theory, although all it has really done is glamourise/complicate what humans have possessed for eternity: a compulsive obsession with sex.

Or moved back to the friend's ladder.

I still hold by the theory you can't have a decent friendship with a girl until you've had sex, only afterwards can you build a real friendship minus the sexual tension. Might sound odd but it works.

I don't think it's something we have active control over to be honest. We're just wired a certain way.

bride importation

For some reason I found that phrasing particularly amusing.

"Hi bob, what business are you in?"
"Shipping"
"Ah, what do you specialise in?"
"Mostly wholesale bride importation, some groom exports and we operate on the bridesgroom futures market"

Excellent - I am a husband exporter so in similar industries. (I boast a good track record - I find them: they can't leave soon enough)*

What is the import market status? Have been tracking developments and it occurs to me that the recent drop in uptake from the Ukraine has left a backlog of brides in Belarus. Russia are keen to export but it leaves me no choice other than decrease the shipment of husbands to Indonesia to make room for the last-minute request from France for virile chefs. Any ideas?

*Obviously this is said in jest I have never been married.

There are some reports of stock going bad on the docks in Indonesia, also a growing demand for organic husbands, more expensive, but taste better. (sorry, couldn't help it)

lol. But I hear the new GMO wives are designed to love the taste...;)

May I steal that? :)

Maybe it's not 100% but there is some logical construction to the social ladder theory...

Dare to bake your own pie.
