Right now processing times are 6-8 weeks for routine and 2-3 for expedited. We did an expedited around Christmas that came back in 10 days. We've done routine that have been back with in 4 weeks.

It can also depend on which agency it actually goes to for processing. Some are faster than others.

Got it, yeah that is something different all together. If you had told your husband that you understood his opinion, but there wasn't anything you could do about the rule would that have been the end of it? It just sounds like you both wanted to be right. Yes, it is a policy not an opinion, but people can have opinions on the policy. ETA: reading the comment you posted right above this one, it sounds like what I just suggested wouldn't have helped either. He just likes to be right and not corrected? I wouldn't apologize then, and just let him decide he was too much.

Was he going ballistic AT her or just in the room? I'm not sure she was being Michelle Duggar, just wise to not get involved. Now, if he was yelling at her for something that had nothing to do with her then that would be different. Generally when these situations have come up in our life we've either just ignored the ranting spouse if it wasn't about the other spouse, or we just leave the room. Neither of us are yellers. I have flipped him off and cussed at him once out of the room. It is enough to make me feel better without causing any lasting harm to the relationship. We each had a moment early in our relationship (mine while we were dating and his right after we were married) where we each had to tell the other "That will NEVER happen again". Fortunately, we were both receptive.

Good to know I'm not alone 🤣 I might have learned it in school when learning about vowels. Maybe preschool? I still enjoy sing upples and bununus. My other favorite is bononos 🤣 He'll just have to think I'm weird, which he has for the last 25 years anyway.

My husband was saying he had thought about making a fruit salad, but we only had apples and bananas. I, of course, launch into "I like to eat, eat, eat apples and bananas"... I get to the second verse and start changing the vowels and I notice he's looking at me like I have 2 heads. When I tell him my favorite was always upples and bununus he's actually laughing at me. Did Minnesota kids not learn this song?? I know we sang it in IL, not sure about IA. Did I learn it in Girl Scouts?? 😁 Kelly

25, married, no kids We've lived in this house for 23 years.

My two half siblings were kidnapped by their father, I didn't meet them until I was 8. My mom didn't see them for probably 10-13 years, until they were adults and could look for her. This was in the 80s, I can't imagine how much harder it would have been to find people. I remember the day the oldest sibling came to our house. I had no idea. I also had another two older half siblings who I didn't meet until around the same age. Their mom didn't kidnap them, my dad willingly let them go, I'm sure there is more to the story, I just don't know it.

Donald Sutherland I remember him in Backdraft and was totally traumatized by his character. And, again as President Snow in the Hunger Games. I can only see him as a bad guy. He is probably a big reason I didn't like Pride and Prejudice from 2005. He also did a voice over for an orange juice commercial, and I absolutely refused to buy that brand of orange juice 🤣 Kelly

I was going to say the same thing. I have a pair of Hokas and Brooks. One day it took me at least an hour before I figured out that I was wearing a Brooks on one foot and a Hoka on the other. They are both gray and yes, I do get dressed in the dark 😏 I love both shoes 😁

If you do then you know not to send a card back when you get one from them. ETA: I don't mean that to sound flippant. It just seems a safer way to get the answer than actually contacting them.

I would add them to the dish, sweet potatoes are great with curry flavors. The other thing I would do is roast them and use chipotle seasoning or smoked paprika.

I would say Utah. The first time we drove through Utah after visiting the Grand Canyon I was mesmerized. We started off early morning from AZ and were in Utah when the sun came up. It was the most amazing place! I was really sad that I was the driver and had to pay attention to the road.

I like to use butternut squash in curry. I usually buy it already cubed and throw it in.

I was thinking maybe the photography equipment was the fun stuff to buy while the case was "meh, go cheap because it is not the fun part".
